Sporty girls still want to look and feel feminine.
Playing sports leads girls to improve school performance, set goals, learn teamwork, stay physically fit and build self-confidence. Continued progress in sports can result in valuable college scholarships for girls finishing their high school careers. Many athletic girls have long hair and need to find creative ways to keep it out of their face while playing sports. By trying different hairstyles, sporty girls can keep their personal style and look fashionable while achieving athletic success. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Pull long hair into a ponytail and wrap it tightly into a bun. This keeps hair up and out of the way during athletic practices and games. Position a bun high on the head for formal sporting events, such as gymnastic meets or dance competitions, and wear a bun low and loose for casual practices or softball games.
2. Split long hair down the middle and braid each side to hold the hair in place. Start from the top of the head with a small piece of hair and include more hair as you go to create French braids or simply twist the whole section into a standard braid. Maintain a long ponytail by twisting it into one braid or embellish it by adding small braids throughout the hair.
3. Cut layers into long hair to add volume and style. Make sure the shortest layers still have enough length to gather into a ponytail for sporting events. Pull the long layers all into a loose ponytail for games or pull back just the sides for practices or awards ceremonies. Add personality to long hair by cutting side bangs. Leave enough length for the bangs to pin back easily for game days.
4. Use headbands, hair wraps and bandanas to liven up a plain hairstyle for a sporty girl. Find nylon fabric in her team's colors to weave through braids or tie a bow around the base of a ponytail. Use plastic headbands to pull bangs and sides out of her face or stylish cloth headbands that absorb sweat, as well. Choose a bandana that matches a jersey or complements the team uniform.
