For an easy way to keep your gym hairstyle looking effortlessly cool try a laid back weekend style, the type you would usually just wear around the house on a casual Saturday afternoon. A loose and wavy look with a side braid as in the picture above works well.   How to style this look Go natural with second-day hair, which has more hold or use a texturing cream if you're starting with clean hair. Sweep a section of your fringe to the side and weave into a loose braid before securing with the rest of your hair in a loose ponytail. Try Neal and Wolf Shape, Pliable Paste.
