Marjorie On The Mat shows you how to do a fairly easy long-hair updo for Jiu-jitsu class. Even works for shorter bangs in front. Takes 5 to 10 minutes tops.

Beautiful! I’ll try this out for my Bjj competition ! 🥰

what about the back of the head? I get my hair literally ripped out and they just hang at the back, any tips how to secure them? I don't wanna have bald patch at the end of this journey haha thanks!

Thanks so much, I do taekwondo and when I’m sparring I always have my bangs getting in the way and every hairstyle I tried before always came loose because of how thick my hair was but this holds it in place and it’s completely out of the way.

With a top knot, my opponent's hand always seems to find a way to get stuck in my hair in the back (below the knot) and rips it out. The low bun does get annoying if I'm resting my head on the ground, so I try to keep head resting to a minimum lol. I see a lot of girls putting their hair in a top knot, and then shaving the back underneath. I don't have have thick enough hair for that though, I cherish every strand.

I was gonna suggest a top knot... When I go to the gym and I lie on the bench to do bench press it messes up (just from lying down on it). I can't see myself rolling with the bun on the back of my head. Braids I find comfortable... maybe I learn to french braid... and I do one on each side.

[@Natalia_85]

Nope. Can't do french braids.

Your a ninja

When the bun is that low, is it not in the way when you bridge? I usually end up with a top knot so it's not in the way when I'm in bottom side control haha.

Also, there's nothing worse than pulling my head out of an arm-in guillotine, when my hair is wrapped up to high 😣

how do buns work when you're on the floor? I find it annoying as well.
