Here are three ways to hit the gym to lose the weight … and keep your hair.

Pony Up!

All the sweat from running those miles on the treadmill can wreck havoc on your hair. Keep your hair off your neck and face by pulling it back into a sleek ponytail. Not only will you avoid tangles , but this will discourage your hair from curling up at the roots.

Headbands

Keep your edges lying smooth by covering them with a cotton or silk headband. This will keep them from sweating out and curling up, and it will also keep you from doing damage to your hair later with the flat iron.
