Sleek Headband

Clips for Crops

Just because your hairstyle is short -- attention, bobs, crops and choppy ‘dos -- doesn’t mean your hair is hopeless during a workout. Try the Goody Colour Collection Countour Clips ($3 at Drugstore.com) to keep hair off the face during your fitness routine.

Tie It Up

The best feature of this K-Swiss Women’s Head Tie ($17 at KSwiss.com) is that it’s adjustable. Some sport headbands tend to stretch out so much that it loses its elasticity. Tighten this sporty tie around your head as necessary to keep it in place.

Slip-Free Find

What we love most about this cute Lululemon Slipless Headband ($12 at Shop.Lululemon.com) is the fact that it will actually stay in place regardless of workout. Use it when you jump rope, lift weights and run. When it’s dirty, just throw it in the washing machine for easy cleanup.

Shop All Visors

Whether you’re playing golf or tennis, you should never sacrifice style. Try the fun and flirty Polka Dot Pink Visor from MadCapz ($18 at Shop.Madcapz.net). It will keep both the sun and sweat off your eyes.

Retro Reversible

Shop All Reversible Headbands

The cool thing about this Reversible Headband ($12 at Lucy.com) is the fact that it’s reversible -- it’s a party on one side and serious on the other. Depending on your workout mood, flip as necessary.

Terrific Teeth

Shop All Hair Accessories

Although the DCNL Biker Glam Black Hair Clip ($2.99 at SallyBeauty.com) is not a new revolutionary way to keep your hair in check during your workout, we’re about to blow your mind here... Create a ponytail, twist your hair and clip it down using this trusty hair accessory during your fitness routine. After you’re done, let it out, and voila -- a wavy ‘do that you can take with you for a night on the town.
