9 kinds of beautiful and practical hairstyles to make you run more beautifully
When you run, you should focus on the road ahead instead of constantly worrying about your hair falling onto your face. From variations of the traditional ponytail, Codoon recommends several simple, durable, and aesthetically pleasing hairstyles for female runners. Use the scale below to easily measure the durability and simplicity of each style!
1. Low Ponytail
The low ponytail is a super simple hairstyle that effectively keeps your hair from blocking your eyes or wrapping around your neck. This style is suitable for most people (whether straight or curly hair, long or short hair), especially when you are short on time. Add a headband to secure any loose strands or bangs.

2. Braided Ponytail
The braided ponytail is the editor's personal favorite because it manages long hair very well. Tie your hair into a simple ponytail at the back of your head (not too high or it will fall during your run), then braid the entire ponytail. Add a headband to secure any loose strands or bangs.

3. High Bun
A high bun keeps your hair completely off your face and neck. Brush your hair into a high ponytail and secure it tightly. Twist the hair and wrap it around the base. You can use a few hairpins to secure it.

4. Jasmine Ponytail
This hairstyle is named after the beautiful Princess Jasmine from Disney's Aladdin. It is not only secure but also simple. The Jasmine ponytail is great for women with long or layered hair. To create it: tie a section of hair at the top of your head into a ponytail, secure with a small elastic band; move down a bit, tie the next section of hair with the top ponytail; continue moving down, always adding the previous section of hair; secure the final section with a thick elastic band.

5. Double Braided Ponytail
As long as you know how to make a simple braid, the double braided ponytail style will be quick and effective. Simply braid two sections of hair on either side of your head, then tie them together with the rest of your hair at the back into a ponytail.

6. French Braid
The French braid is a classic hairstyle. If you are a beginner, it can be challenging. Here is a simple method: 1. Gather the top section of hair (all hair from behind the ears to the top of the head) into one section, divide it into three equal parts, and start braiding as usual; 2. For the second braid, add a 2/3-inch wide section of hair to each strand before braiding; 3. Repeat until all hair is braided. Once past the neck, braid as usual and secure with an elastic band.
Durability: 4 Simplicity: 3
7. Half French Ponytail
This hairstyle combines the French braid and traditional ponytail, making it quicker than a full French braid. Unlike a full French braid, this style stops at the top of your ears, then ties all the hair into a ponytail. If you want a low ponytail, continue the French braid to the desired position.
Durability: 4 Simplicity: 3
8. Crown French Ponytail
Once you are familiar with the French braid, you can try a fresher style. Braid two small sections of hair on either side of your head, close to your face, using the traditional French braid method. Continue until the back of your head, then tie the braids and the rest of your hair together.
Durability: 3 Simplicity: 5
9. Upside-Down French Ponytail
This is a more advanced hairstyle, ideal for those who want less hair hanging from their neck. The upside-down French braid follows the same process as the traditional French braid but has the advantage of being done without a mirror—you can flip your head upside down (bend over and braid).
