Date night, work or last minute plans? Go from the gym to glam with these fast hair ideas

In last week's article I shared a few simple ways you can create a successful personal fitness program, if you missed it - click here to read the full article. 

Of the many challenges that come from working out, one of the most popular is how to style our hair post-gym. Regardless of what time of day (or night) you choose to work out, the following hair ideas shared by Fernando Salas, creator of White Sands Haircare, will certainly give you fast hair ideas to go from the gym to a number of after workout plans like work, a date or even just a lazy weekend at home. 

1. Going from the Gym to Last Minute Plans - Do a 3 Minute Blowout

Spray a hairspray like White Sands Infinity ($22) to soak up extra oils and create lift at the roots. Quickly use your dryer and direct the heat only at your hairline to dry up the most visible, sweaty areas. Flip your head over and dry hair upside down. When you come back up, you will have volume while also refreshening tresses. Spray your brush with perfume and run through your hair to finish.

2. Going from the Gym to Date Night - Do a Post Workout Chignon

Start by tousling hair with a texture spray like White Sands UnderCover Styling Spray ($21). Loosely pull hair back into a low pony tail. Using bobby pins, pin a section of hair from the middle of the ponytail an inch or two above the hair tie. Then, use hair pins to pin the remaining lengths in place to complete the look. "Remember, it doesn't have to look perfect. The more creative and the more texture the better," explains Salas.

3. Going from the Gym to Work - Do a Classic Ponytail

"I've noticed that a beautiful classic ponytail is underutilized," says Salas. Using a light weight paste like White Sands Smudge Texture Crème ($16), smooth hair back into a shiny sleek, pony and secure in the middle of the head below the crown and above the nape. Wrap a small piece of hair around the band to dress it up and secure the ends with a bobby pin.

4. Going from the Gym to Cocktails with the Girls - Do a High Bun

There are so many different bun makers out there with various foam shapes to choose from. It has never been easier to make one in seconds. You can even cut the toe area off of a sock and roll the remaining part into a circular piece to use. In seconds you will have a clean polished style, that is still fun and flirty. Seal it with a shine spray like White Sands Porosity ($19.40) to disguise oily hair.

5. Going from the Gym to a Relaxed Weekend - Do a Braid

No matter where life takes you, opting for a braided hairstyle can be the easiest way to get pretty hair without a lot of prep. Wear your braid of choice while working out and let this style act as a curling iron. Once you are done at the gym, undo to reveal heatless waves perfect for a casual weekend.
