Hello,

Just wondering what others do with running and long hair.

When I used to run years ago I had short hair! Now its long and staying long. I always wear my hair down but realise this will be a pain if running long distance.

What do you lot do?
Ponytail, platts?

Hats and headbands are good options. Mine is very thick and wavy and has a tendancy to escape

I have shoulder length hair so I put it in a ponytail and then put it through the loop at the back of a baseball cap which works great for me

I've no such problems in that department!!!!

Too much testosterone eh Steve?

When I had long hair, always had a ponytail or sometimes plaited pig tails, they work well when it is really hot and you can go out with wet hair and stay cool

Who has the longest hair?

In the forum? In the world?

Not you Steve ?

In the forum...and it sure ain't me!

I have very long hair and just tie it back, it's no problem at all. I have a low pony tail as I think a high one would bob about too much like a horses tail and that would get on my pip.

I sometimes tuck my pony tail down the back of my running top, not directily onto my back but ontop of my t shirt but inside my zip up jacket...I have recently started running so dressing for the cold at the moment. I would imagine in hot weather I would put it into a pony tail than pin it up competely out of the way. I do see woman running with their hair flowing loose but personally that would drive me nuts.!!

Ponytail and clip my fringe back (nicely) I don't want to too much look like a ugly freak while running....lol

Mine has to be tied up otherwise i would be concentrating on keeping it out of my face rather than running!! i just pin back my fringe and put my hair up in a pony tail and i am ready to take to the road.

when I had long hair; (well, when I had hair !) I used head bands before moving on to bandannas. Hair still gets in the face when there's a tailwind though.

Mine's a bit below shoulder length and I put it back in a ponytail, and use a hairband to keep back the layers that aren't long enough to get in the ponytail.

I only plait my hair when I go skiing - I find even a ponytail gets tangled in a long day's skiing.
