I'm excited to tell you about this - the solution is pre-wrap!
I kept trying to figure out from the stands around here what the female college and high school athletes were using to control their flyaways. I finally had one of them as a patient on her way to a BB camp - and all of a sudden when I saw it up close, it dawned on me - it's pre-wrap - the foamy wrap they put on an ankle prior to taping it! I googled this before posting, and it looks like some entrepreneurs are taking off on the idea: http://www.pre-wrap.com/ But really, all that's necessary is to go to the sports section of your local store and find athletic tape. Right next to it will be (often) a salmon or green color foamy tape - that's pre-wrap. Cut off a piece, tie the ends in a knot, and your have your perfect headband solution |

I have super thick hair and no fly-aways, so a simple covered elastic pony tail works fine for me.

What great suggestions -- thanks so much!
Some of these suggestions I have done in the past and forgot about -- like the braid. I'll definitely try that again. At one point I had too many layers for a braid, but I think I can do it again. The Klutz Book of Braids sounds like a great idea -- and a lot of fun. The various top buns are also great ideas. I'll also take a look at various scrunchies, Scuni no damage bands, head-bands, sweat-bands, and pre-wrap foam. I realize there is no perfect solution given that I do this to my hair so often -- and I usually wear it in big clip when I'm not working out. But, these suggestions will surely help "lower the impact"! |
