3 Best Softball Hairstyles For A Game

hairstyles for fastpitch softball

There is nothing worse than having you hair get in your face as you go to field a ground ball or swing at a pitch. Game day comes with enough pressure as it is and the last thing a player should be worrying about is whether or not their hair is going to get in the way. The JustBats team understands your frustrations so we're here to help with best softball hairstyles. Plus, when you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you play good.

Softball Hair

When it comes time to do your hair for softball, there's no better option for the game than a braid. Braids keep your hair up and out of your face while keeping your head cool even during the hottest of summer days. Below are the three best braids for softball, including a short how-to video and a summary of each one. Keep in mind that it's best to get a teammate, coach, or parent involved so that they can help ensure the quality of your hair before you take the field.

Fishtail Braid

A fishtail braid is a simple softball hairstyle that any player can put together before a big game. One tip missing from the video above is to secure your hair with an elastic hair tie before you begin. However, once you've completed the braid make sure to cut it out. 

Boxer Braid 

If you've seen the movie Million Dollar Baby, then you've probably seen what a boxer braid looks like. Actually, we should say, what boxer braids look like considering there are two braids in this particular softball hairstyle. As a result, it does require double the amount of work so be sure to give yourself some time to complete this hairstyle. 

Classic French Braid

A beautifully intricate hairstyle that may take some practice before perfection. The longer your hair is, the longer this process will take. Once completed, it will feel like you've put yourself through an arm workout, but the result is always worth it. Don't give up if you aren't able to get it right the first time and remember that it's always easier if you have a teammate's help. 

Bonus: Athletic Pigtails

The classic pigtail look has a new twist. Intertwine braids into your pigtails to create a unique new athletic look for the diamond. It may take a little time to figure out the best method but if you are patient and able to pull it off, the new look is one that'll have your teammates asking you 'how did you do that!?'
