Hair That Packs a Punch

If you are ponytail obsessed

You sport a slick pony to keep your hair out of your face during workouts. Trouble is, this too-tight style causes breakage, especially if you use an elastic band that has a metal clasp or you spritz with hair spray.

Your plan: Cross-train

Braid your hair and anchor it with a smooth elastic, like Blax Snag-Free Hair Elastics ($4, smoothiesstore.com). Use a headband, like Evolution No Slip Grip Head Wraps by Scünci ($4, drugstores), to keep your bangs back.
