This post is all about the best hairstyles for gymnastics
Hello gymnasts! Are you ready to take your routines to the next level? One essential aspect that often gets overlooked is the right hairstyle. Whether you are practicing intricate floor exercises or soaring through the air on uneven bars, having a hairstyle that keeps your hair out of your face and stays secure throughout your routine is crucial. Let’s explore some of the best hairstyles that will help you perform with confidence and style.
Classic Bun
A timeless choice that never fails to impress, the classic bun keeps your hair neatly tucked away, ensuring zero distractions during your routine. Start by gathering your hair into a high ponytail, twist it into a bun, and secure it with hair ties and bobby pins for added security.
You can spice up the classic bun in so many ways, especially with beautiful bows and glitter. Let’s see some options!
The first set of bows are 12 bow hair ties and the second are 16 reversible sequin bows with clips.
French Braid Ponytail
Combine elegance with functionality by opting for the French braid ponytail. French braid the top section of your hair and gather the remaining hair into a ponytail, securing it with an elastic. This stylish option keeps your hair secure and chic.
Another super fun hairstyle is changing your french braid for a bubble braid. And don’t forget to add a big bow!

You can also try a ponytail with two braids! It looks super cute and it’s super easy to do.
Two Braids
