Rule 3-5-2 indicates that the referee shall not permit any player to wear equipment or apparel which, in his/her judgement, is dangerous or confusing to other players or is not appropriate. Examples of illegal items include but are not limited to: Article 2, head decorations, headwear and jewelry. Exception 2: Rubber/cloth (elastic) bands may be used to control hair. Therefore, if plastic or metal devices or beads are used to control hair, they are illegal and the player should not be permitted to play until they are removed and cloth/rubber or elastic bands are in place. Likewise, in the Illustrated Book on Page 20, the last sentence states, "Decorative hair devices shall not be permitted."
