Nothing is worse than the feeling of your hair pulling or falling out all over your face when you’re in downward dog.

#1: Fishtail Braid

A fishtail braid is a beautiful way to secure your hair through even the craziest of vinyasa flows. Even if you have long hair with bangs, you can still wear a fishtail by securing bangs at the crown of the head with a hair tie or bobby pin.

#5: Half Up

Wearing your hair half-up is a great way to get your hair out of your face during your practice. This look doesn’t require a lot of work so it’s ideal if you have loads of hair and lots of texture that would take a while to tame. It’s easy to remove post-yoga and won’t leave any funny creases behind.
