Going to the gym is one of the best things you can do for your body. Nothing beats those feel-good endorphins or that glow you get after beating your personal best. While crushing it at the gym is one thing, keeping your hair looking fresh after the gym is another. Most women head straight from the locker-room to another social event, so making sure your strands are well-cared for is key.
To find out what hair accessories every woman should have in her gym bag, we turned to ESU’s founder – and all-around fitness guru – Alexia to see what she recommends. If you don’t want to make it obvious that you just killed it at kickboxing or rocked a barre class, be sure to toss these hair essentials in your gym bag.
A Hair Brush
A quality hair brush is one of those investment pieces that every woman should own. Brushes with natural bristles are easily the highest quality. They are gentler on your strands and also help redistribute your scalp’s natural oils from root to tip. This will keep your hair looking luminous and even encourage faster growth.
