    My hair gets so many flyaways, what should I do?
    Community Answer
    You could try taking a can of hairspray and smoothing your hair down between games. Otherwise, use skate wax. It dries really hard and prevents flyaways.

    I want a really catchy and sporty hairstyle for medium length hair. Any advice or hairstyles?
    Community Answer
    A fishtail braid is a good idea, or a waterfall braid into a ponytail. Any braid is a good idea.
  • Question
    My hair is very fine and often wisps out of whatever style I have it in, even a simple ponytail. Hairspray doesn't help and conditioner weighs my hair down. What is a hairstyle I can use for sports?
    Community Answer
    Try twin cornrows, a donut bun or a braided ponytail. One of these are bound to work.
  • Question
    How long will these hairstyles go with a lot of physical activity?
    Community Answer
    It depends. I did a bun for gym class then it came off easily after running a lot. I would suggest a ponytail but something to jazz it up a bit, for example, a tucked ponytail. If you braid it, the braids can possibly be messy but I just did it again after gym.
  • Question
    How do I do it without hairspray?
    Community Answer
    Tie up your hair in a tight ponytail or a tight donut bun. Hairspray just keeps the hair in order and provides a bit of sheen, so your hairstyle can be done without them. Also, avoid using gel or oil if you're going to be doing physical activities, because you don't want stuff dripping down your face when you sweat.

  • Question
    How do I make a French braid. It never works for me, and I've tried nearly everything.
    Community Answer
    French braids are quite easy, actually! First you comb your hair back so there is no part. Then you take 3 strands and begin to braid. Keep braiding until you get to the end, and then tie it with an elastic.
  • Question
    How do I do a five minute sports hairstyle when my hair is very thick?
    Community Answer
    Try a regular style like the ones mentioned above (braids might not work as well, so go for a ponytail or bun), but use a rubber or plastic hair tie that has a lot of grip. This will hold on to your hair better. If you don't have one of these, try using 2-3 elastics, as opposed to one. Using hair products such as hairspray and gel may also help to keep your hair in place.

    You could use a bun net, which holds all your hair together.
  • Question
    How do I maintain my long hair without it getting frizzy?
    Community Answer
    Try not to fall asleep with wet hair. This is one thing that causes frizz. I also use an anti-frizz serum every day during hot or humid days, and that works well.

    What is a good soccer hairstyle for medium length hair?

    French braiding works as well as dutch braiding. Even a ponytail with some flair will look pretty cool.
  • Question
    Does anyone know how to keep blunt bangs out of your face when playing sports? Headbands never seem to work for me, and clips look weird. Any other ideas?
    Community Answer
    Tying a scarf in place of a headband looks cute and is very comfortable and convenient, as well as staying in and holding well. It also soaks up some of your sweat to help prevent your hair from looking oily.

    I'm 11 years old and I need some really easy, really quick sport hairstyles. The ones you have shown above will not work on my shoulder-length hair. Could anyone help please?
    Community Answer
    Try a low ponytail or a low bun. A French braid would likely also work.
