You don't want your hair to fly in front of your eyes while running. You don't want it to stick to your neck and make you sweat more than you have to, either. That's why it's important to stick to a select few hairstyles that will get your hair out of the way so you can go out and play.

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.

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.
There's no chance of this hairstyle coming undone during your run. You're going to start creating this look by braiding a piece of your hair in the back.

Whether you're ready to run or go to dance class, this is the perfect way to keep your hair out of your face.
