Headbands and Hair Ties

Don't let your hair get in the way of your workout. Pack a headband ($9, originally $12) to have on hand at all times, and a solid pack of hair elastics. The classic Scünci style ($3) that I've donned since fourth grade still holds a special place in my medicine cabinet, and my gym bag.
