Shaina Palmer asked:

What are some hairstyles to keep my hair from falling into my face when playing softball?

Casey’s answer:

how about two french braids, if you have long side bangs like i do, you can part it to the side so your bangs can stay in..
that way you can follow the rules by not using hair clips or bobby pins and you dont have to keep fixing a head band..
