01. Low bun like Priyanka Chopra Jonas

When in a rush, do it like PeeCee! The slightly messy low bun is perfect for any kind of exercise. It prevents hair from falling on your face and also from clinging to your skin on the back. This can help prevent issues like back acne and skin rashes. Pull all your hair back, twist it all into a messy low bun and secure it with a scrunchie or U-pin.
02. High ponytail like Katrina Kaif

A classic workout hairstyle that you can never ever go wrong with — the high ponytail! Gather your hair at the crown and secure it with a hair tie, and you’re good to go. This style is easy to create and, most importantly, helps prevent hair breakage as well. Sounds like a winner to us!
03. Space buns like Ananya Panday

Oh yes, we love space buns, and we’re totally digging this look by Ananya. All you have to do is part your hair from the centre, pull your tresses back to make two high ponytails on each side and then twist it into a bun. It looks superb and also keeps the hair out of your face.
04. Pigtails like Samantha Ruth Prabhu

The uber-cool and cutesy pigtails are our go-to hairstyle for workouts. We suggest taking inspiration from the ever-gorgeous Samantha to try this hairstyle out. Braids, in general, help keep your hair free of knots caused by sweat and dirt. So do try this hairstyle out when you workout next.
05. Messy top knot like Athiya Shetty

It doesn’t matter if your hair is squeaky clean or greasy — a top knot doesn’t discriminate, and that’s why we love this hairstyle, especially while we’re working out. Just gather your mane at the top of your head and use a hair tie to secure it up in a top knot; easy-peasy. You can use a pretty, oversized scrunchie like Athiya to make your top knot look cute.
