Athlete Braids was born from a simple idea: athletes shouldn’t have to worry about their hair on race day.

Whether you’re running your first 5K, competing in HYROX, tackling a DEKA event, or crossing a marathon finish line, every set is designed to stay secure through sweat, movement, and every finish-line photo.

Athlete Braids exists to help you feel confident before the starting horn so you can focus on one thing - your performance.

Founded by Shari Sims, a fitness enthusiast and race-day braid specialist, Athlete Braids combines performance-focused styling with an athlete’s understanding of what race mornings demand.
