1. Messy Ponytail
There's no reason to put your hair up into a perfect ponytail before you run. Even if you get every strand into place with bobby pins and hairspray, all of your hard work is bound to come apart while you're bouncing around. That's why you should go out with your hair already in a messy ponytail, so you don't have to worry about the style coming undone. Even if it does, it'll still look like the look you're going for.
2. Bun for Long Hair
If you don't mind spending a few minutes in front of your mirror before you go for your run, you'll love this style. All you need to create it is a headband, a hair clip, and a few bobby pins. It's a little elaborate for a run, but if you have super long hair and hate feeling it hit your neck and back, then you'll realize why this style is such a good idea.
