Have you ever showed up to class thinking, āI wonāt get too sweaty, Iāll just head straight to _____ after class.ā? We get it, life is hectic and sometimes you have just enough time to squeeze a flow into your completely stacked calendar.
But letās not kid ourselves, youāre gonna get sweaty. Really sweaty. A change of clothes and some deodorant wonāt fix the drenched hairs stuck to your forehead, but we canāt have you missing out on the glory of heated yoga, either.
As Jonathan Van Ness says, you wouldnāt wash your favorite shirt every day, so you shouldnāt wash your hair every day, either! I, for one, donāt want to disgrace JVN.
Behold, the solution to *almost* all your problems. Here are my favorite tried-and-true ways to hide that post-yoga hair in a sweaty but stylish way. Stay on track in your practice and on trend in your style at the same time.
Before you do anything elseā¦ The easiest way to refresh your hair for any style is to blow-dry your roots where theyāve accumulated some sweat, and spray in some dry shampoo. Let it sit for a minute or two, then work it in with your fingers. Run a brush through your hair and baby, youāre brand new.
ICYMI ā accessories from the 80ās and 90ās are back. Scrunchies, big hair clips, and statement headbands are your new best friends when it comes to covering up sweaty roots. Look for hair scarves and boho wrap headbands to do all the work for you, just pop one on and youāre instantly covered yet cute.
Pro tip: use a regular elastic under your scrunchie to get the same amount of oomph in your pony.
There are certain hair styles that just work better with dirty hair. Lucky us!
Try the Kim K: Itās as easy as pulling your hair back into a straight, low pony for a super sleek look. Leave your part and hairspray down the baby hairs to leave the studio feeling fierce.
Then thereās the oh-so-classic top knot: Pull your hair up into a slick high pony. Brush through your part to get an even surface all the way around your head, then twist and wrap your hair into a tight bun on the crown of your head. This works great for naturally curly AND straight hair.
There you have it ā how to be sweaty yet stylish. I hope this helps you with your mid-day, post-sculpt class hair. Most importantly, if you leave the studio feeling stronger and more confident, thatās a win in my book ā no matter how your hair looks. Get out there and rock that sweat, people!

Kirk was working 80-hour weeks and wearing his shoulders as earrings when he found yoga in 2005. Forever the competitive athlete, he loved the physicality of yoga. When the spiritual and philosophical side of yoga were exposed to him, Kirk was hooked. Yoga provided him with what other activities couldnāt -- the ability to foster the benefits of practice both on and off of the mat. Yoga was something that Kirk could bring into all aspects of his life.
Kirk knows that yoga can be intimidating, so he crafts a class that is playful and inviting, while still being challenging and safe. His creatively planned classes build strength and flexibility in your body and mind while establishing clarity, giving you more confidence to overcome obstacles in your life, and keeping you injury-free. His classes are themed with a message that is relatable and will inspire you to take it with you off your mat. Kirk has been teaching yoga since 2008 and lead his first teacher training in 2012. Where Kirk truly shines is in coaching, developing and bringing out the best in others.
Kirk enjoys traveling (40+ countries to date!), snowboarding, and cherishes time with his wife and two daughters.
Christen Bakkenās yoga journey began in 1998 in a Bikram studio that provided a safe and secure place to practice. She saw the yoga mat as a place to remember her purpose and a place to play. As she continued her studies and began her journey to teaching in 2006, Christen infused yoga classes with devotion and the yoga mat became a place of personal transformation and healing. Her classes are filled with laughter, song, sweat, and usually heart openers. In 2013, Christen began training yoga teachers. This is the place where she finds the most joy - in community with folks looking to grow and be of greater service in their homes, on their mats, and in the world. Over the years, she has led trainings in Denver, the Midwest, Florida, and now abroad. She has trained in continuing education modules, 200-hour, 300-hour, and 500-hour programs. Beyond the mat, Christen is a passionate adventure seeker - she loves to bike, snowboard, and spend time with her husband and pups. She sees each day as a blessing and hopes to remind all who interact with her of this truth.
