Not unless they tie 20 knots in it, one over the other.

I believe it the issue is they want only closed loop elastic bands, not inflexible fabric tied firmly. I don't know that makes a real difference, but that is what I think is the reason.

That's what I was told. It's one of those explanations I didn't agree with, but said "ok" and moved on with more important things.

If it's just knotted, with no extensions showing, I'm allowing it.

In the past, the NFHS allowed underwrap tied in a knot, or a cloth ribbon tied in a knot, used as a headband.

If I can't see extensions, just a knot; then there are no extensions, just a knot; then I'm allowing it.

The NFHS hasn't made knots illegal, just extensions are illegal, and I'm pretty strict about most fashion issues.

b. A headband is any item that goes around the entire head. It must be a circular design without extensions. If worn, only one headband is permitted, it must be worn on the forehead/crown, it must be nonabrasive and unadorned, and it must be a maximum of 2 inches.
d. Rubber, cloth or elastic bands may be used to control hair. Hard items, including, but not limited to, beads, barrettes and bobby pins, are prohibited.
