GK Elite is your one-stop shop for best-in-class sports hair accessories designed to meet the unique needs of gymnasts. When you’re leaping, soaring, twirling, and tumbling, hair can be distracting and obstructive. Wearing athletic hair accessories during competitions and training lets you perform your best. We carry a wide variety of styles and colors so you can stay safe and focused, match your outfit, and hit the mat with pure confidence. Be Extraordinary.
As long as you follow the rules of the competition or facility, you have plenty of options for gym hair accessories. Gymnastics scrunchies are the most popular types of accessories because they’re lightweight with low-profile designs, so they won’t get in the way. They’re also made from comfortable materials that don’t pull or damage your hair. Depending on your hairstyle and routine, wearing a bow can also be a fun and effective way to keep your hair tidy.
Wearing your hair back ensures that you have a clear view of the apparatuses and your surroundings. Furthermore, wearing your hair back prevents loose hair from tickling you, falling in front of your eyes, and causing distractions. Beyond their practical applications, hair accessories tie your look together, matching your outfit and letting you express your individuality.
Some of the best hairstyles for gymnasts include top knots, pigtail braids, high ponytails, bubble ponytails, and French/Dutch braids. Braids are especially popular among gymnasts who do backward rolls, as other hairstyles can get in the way.
