What To Do With My Hair When I'm Playing Volleyball?

Anyone who doesn't have long hair doesn't understand the frustration and aggravation that go hand in hand with trying to keep those sticky strands out of their face when they're out on the court. As fun as long hair is the rest of the time, when you're in the middle of a game and it's either falling in your face or sticking to the back of your neck (or any other body part it can reach) it feels more like a hassle than anything else.

The question is, what can you do about it?

There are plenty of options available! Multi-functional pre-wrap wraps around ponytails and braids very efficiently, keeping strands from escaping and finding a home where they're not really wanted. For those hard to control front and side hairs (you know, the short ones that just won't grow-no matter how hard you try?) simple snap barrettes (you know, the ones that remind you of the snap bracelets you used to have when you were little before they made it illegal to have them in school?), heavy duty hair gel and, if you're going to be out on the beach, baseball caps are a great solution.

Try to avoid the hair gel and hairspray if you're going to be outside though. Bugs love it, and nothing kills your concentration faster than a mosquito going in for the kill.

Ponytails, braids and messy buns are the preferred styles for play, since they hold in well (even when they're being bounced around) and they can be safely secured with those neat hair bands that don't have the metal clips on them, holding your hair tightly without having to worry about it splitting or being damaged along the way. And if you just can't take it anymore, cut it off. Short's the new black this spring when it comes to hair, letting you combine game time practicality with a short and sassy, stylish practicality that you're guaranteed to enjoy.
