I'd have to say that headbands and hair control devices must fall into two separate categories. If they were one and the same, then the item in the NFHS picture definitely wouldn't be legal, as it is longer than two inches. The rule itself seems to distinguish between the two. It refers to "headwear" as items like caps, visors, headbands and ribbons. For "items used to control the hair" it references "bobby pins, barrettes and hair clips". Which category do you think the item Manny posted falls under? (I have now spent more time playing fashion police than I hope to have to spend all season!) |

I will say this though - the mere fact that you have to ask me which category it belongs in, and the fact that I might answer that question differently from you or some other umpire, tells me that NFHS has fallen down on the job here in failing to define it for us. If they are treated differently, the categories need definition. (BTW - the answer to your question is "I don't know", as one could support it's inclusion in either category.) |

So regardless if they are "hair control devices" or "headwear" or whatever, all things made of a hard, inflexible material should be prohibited. Or am I wrong here? |

Honestly - if we have heads conking... the HEAD is more dangerous than any of these items we're talking about. |
