1. Cornrows
For the ultimate in security and a style that lasts, cornrows are a top choice. These braids are woven tightly against the scalp and can hold up through intense activity. They keep every single strand in place. You can get simple straight-back cornrows or more intricate designs. Consulting a professional stylist for installation is often best, especially if you plan on adding extensions for length.
Frequently Asked Questions
I get asked a lot about keeping hair healthy and secure while playing sports. Here are some common questions I hear.
How do I keep my hairstyle from slipping during a game? Using strong hair ties and bobby pins is key. Hairspray or gel can add extra hold, especially for sleek styles or keeping flyaways down. Braiding tightly also helps a lot.
What products are best for volleyball hair? Look for products with good hold. Texturizing sprays can help braids stay in place. Dry shampoo is great for absorbing sweat after a game. A good leave-in conditioner helps protect hair from damage.
How can I prevent hair damage from tight hairstyles? Don’t pull your hair too tight every day. Vary your styles when you’re not playing. Use fabric hair ties instead of rubber bands. Always take your hair down carefully after a game and detangle gently.
Should I wash my hair after every game? It depends on your hair type and how much you sweat. Sometimes just rinsing with water and using conditioner is enough. Over-washing can strip natural oils. Using a clarifying shampoo occasionally helps with product buildup.
