Long hair and athletics Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: Hair Talk Forum Name: Hair Politics Forum Description: The politics of Hair is a slippery slope...

I have to admit that although I honestly don't care for the look of short hair, I do see why many female athletes wear short hair, especially professionals. Long hair can always be pulled back, but it's the frequent hair-washing that I would think would cause problems. And how does all that hair fit comfortably under a swim cap?!Thanks! Replies:
