(Before I continue, there should be a "male" icon to choose when it talks about guys)

Anyways, a Goody black elastic (somewhat good) is what I have now, and I ended up rearranging my hair 3 times in the first 4 classes I took. Is there anything more secure but less damaging to the hair (i.e. rubber bands rip lots) and where would be the ideal place to get it ?

Keep in mind that I don`t look cute (as if I`m meant to be) in most colors of the rainbow, so if pink`s your style, it ain`t mine, sorry)

EDIT : MA = Martial Arts
I hate all of the following and lots more : Fundamentalists, racists, sexists, fascists, ageists (people saying seniors = senile , kids = stupid , 18 = immature or a combo of them), and bigots for causes yet to receive their own designation.

I think Goody (or maybe Scunci) mades nylon ones. I have those: A) nylon grips your hair better and B) no little metal thingys to eat your hair, just nylon. You might try those. I put them in, go for a run, then weight lift, and they dont budge.

Forgot to specify which ones. I`m not an expert (nor an amateur) on hair styles or care.

It`s those ones I have. While lifting weights may be a very great way to work out, it is in general static, benches and stuff. I mean static as in you`re not rolling or flying half across a room.

When your hair gets some tension on it, it tends to get looser since it`s simple elastic theory that it can easily expand. I`d need something maybe not in the line of expandable. More into the line of dependable.

Hi! I`m involved in the Martial arts also and my sensei is a male and has fairly long hair. His hair is about to mid-back. He usually just braids it from the bottom of the neck and holds the bottom of the braid with a nylon hairtie (you know the rubber bands with the material covering) I know a lot of men with long hair involved in martial arts and they never seem to have a problem. What type of martial arts do you practice.. where r u from??
hope this helped,
Sarah <3
