People are only just realising why you shouldn't work out with a ponytail in

When you're working out, a ponytail might seem like the perfect way to quickly throw your hair back and keep it out of your face. But the popular hairstyle is best avoided for certain types of exercise, according to an expert. While the updo is sleek, stylish and simple to complete, it could be wrecking your hair, warns celebrity hairstylist Tom Smith.

Taking to TikTok, the expert revealed why you shouldn't pick the style if you're completing an energetic workout, which could see your ponytail swishing from side to side. If you have long hair, it is a warning you'll want to take note of - or you could risk dry hair and split ends.
