Hello curly gurls. After a decade of straightening my hair, I am embracing my natural hair texture and returning to the curly life. A lot of things are very new for me.

My question is, how do you put up your hair for things like the gym? I usually brush it (!) into a bun. This will obviously break up the curls and ruin them. But my hair is too heavy and hot to work out without putting it up. What do?

    Hey!! For the record, the sub is curly hair. I’m a guy, should I be here XD?

    Also I would braid or do some other type of curly-made hairstyle. It means you will have to keep it up but my hair is not so heavy. I can make a bun without brushing

      Tbh my hair isn’t long enough to braid yet but I’ll keep that in mind

    Messy bun. No brush. Unfortunately I sweat too much to preserve curls. I’m showering afterwards

    Pony tail or folded bun, but I also have an undercut so I don’t have to worry about gathering the hair from the sides/back of my head.

    How about twisty bun(s) secured with satin scrunchies? No brush, just twist with your fingers - shake out when you’re done. That’s what I do as a quick fix before I sleep if I can’t be bothered.

    I just high ponytail it in a scrunchie no brushing. If too long leave a loop, if too heavy low ponytail but usually high pony.
