Hair Fixes
Believe it or not, it is possible to work in a daytime run without wearing your ponytail back to the office. First, fight the ponytail kink by pulling hair into a high ponytail and securing it with a fabric-covered elastic, like Goody Ouchless Thick Elastics ($3, drugstores), which won't pull or tear your hair and will leave you with less of a crease than a thin, rubber elastic. When you take your hair down, flip your head down and blow dry at the hairline and at the nape of your neck where sweat often collects.
For a quick fix, try Blow Faux Dry Dry Shampoo ($20, blowny.com). Made with a conditioning protein blend to absorb sweat and oils with cornstarch, it volumizes hair at the roots without leaving behind any powdery residue.
Take a sweat-mussed mane and turn it into piecey, tousled tresses with a sea salt spray like Philip B Botanical Products Maui Wowie Beach Mist ($22, philipb.com). This spray is non-drying, with algae extracts, gardenia, orchid and coconut that nourish hair.
If your hair is beyond repair, work in a bit of styling cream or leave-in conditioner and smooth it back into a chic low ponytail. If all else fails, go for preppy polish with a basic black headband.
