I, and all of my local colleagues, interpret it this way, but is there a NFHS citation for such?

2019-20 Interps:
SITUATION 1: A1 is waiting at the table to substitute into the game. The official recognizes the substitute is
wearing pre-wrap tied in the back as a headband. RULING: The substitute is permitted to enter the game wearing the pre-wrap as a headband provided it meets all the guidelines for a headband. (3-5-4b)
Case 3.5.4B was also new in this year. Play (C) originally had an INCORRECT ruling of "illegal" -- a correction was published making it LEGAL (as it now reads). I also have in my notes the words "pre-wrap allowed, even though it has ties / extensions" -- but I don;t have a reference as to where I obtained that and I don't see the corrections in the annual archives on the site.
