Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love my bangs.
Theyre a heavily recycled beauty look that has stayed with me since my earliest days in high school.
But my fringe can really put a wrench in my workout plans.
Because if I dont, my bangs end up wet and stuck to my face.
Sweat can totally sabotage the results of a blowout, causing my straight bangs to curl up into coils.
And Im certain my hair doesnt appreciate that Ive been using my favoriteflatironafter each workout (eek!)
to ensure every strand is still styled straight.
Theres got to be a better (less damaging) way.
These are the five that earned a coveted spot in my gym bag.
I twisted my bangs straight back and secured them with three of the clips at my crown.
My bangs werent going anywhere.
Just four fingers and a little tousle, and my hair was back in business.
The Gymwrap is also made with a blend of fabrics said to absorb sweat.
While the wrap successfully kept my bangs at bay, I cant say the same for my curls.
The cap is also machine washable, which is always a bonus in my book.
The hat hair was real.
Its made with interior grip dots for extra security, which helped it stay in place during my first-everSoulCycleclass.
It also successfully wicked away my forehead sweat and kept my flatironed hair from curling back up.
Just a quick brush down with a paddle brush, and my bangs were as good as new.
As an added plus, the headband is completely machine washable, which makes for easy maintenance.
