Serious question. I have never worn a lace front but will try on a few tomorrow.

I want a full lace front, wavy or curly.

Do you just pony or pin it up?

How do you secure it?

Help

I used to wear wigs to the gym. I wore plaits underneath. I usually wear glueless lace wigs or full wigs. I never had to use clips or combs and my wigs were pretty secure.

Hahaha! Girl that would be priceless. Unless your wig is too big you shouldn't have any slip ups (pun intended).

I've seen ladies in wigs at the gym. The one I recall seeing most often tied a scarf around her head/wig after putting the hair in a bun or ponytail.

I wear short curly lace fronts at the gym. It works fine, and I just come home and cowash my braids underneath.

When I practiced hot yoga I had no problem plucking that wig off, hanging it in my locker and tying my braids up in a scarf. I sweat when I workout and depending on what I'm doing at gym I have no problem taking it off. The point of the wig is less work not needing to keep redoing because I sweated it out. Every time someone sees me take it off they swear up and down that they cant. I'm not there to socialize but to do work.

I think it's weird to wear a wig at the gym. Make sure it doesn't look obvious.

I have worn a wig to the gym a few times (I would use bobby pins on the sides to secure it); I never had issues with it flying off while running or moving but that thing got too hot for me

I often see women wear them with scarves tied around them.

What's the purpose of wearing a wig when you re going to sweat ? If you lift weights maybe it's not a major issues but if you do cardio or sweat alot you don't need it ..
I would pass.

Take your wig off in the car, put your scarf on and go.

I know some do it but I don't like nor want to workout with a scarf on.

I'm scrapping the wig idea anyway.

My workouts are more important. I dont wanna look fly on the treadmill just comfortable.

Thank you to everyone who responded.

You know, I was thinking about this thread the other day... It's funny how no one bats an eye when the Williams sisters wear wigs/weaves while playing tennis for hours on end, US Olympic runners wear weaves/wigs while competing, people wearing wigs/weaves to theme parks on ridiculously hot days, etc... but people think it's crazy when someone asks how to wear a wig to the gym
