When you are on the softball field, your hairstyle must do more than merely look good—it must keep your hair from your face, be comfortable, and hold your hair in place as you play your best. Whether you are hitting home runs, sliding into bases, or cheering on the bench, these softball hairstyles are the best combination of style and functionality.
In this post, we’ve rounded up the best softball hairstyles that are sweat-proof, helmet-friendly, and undeniably cute!
1.
High Ponytail with Braids
A high ponytail is a classic for a
reason—it keeps hair off your neck and out of your eyes. Add a couple of front
braids or cornrows to keep flyaways tamed and give your look a sporty edge.
It’s helmet-safe and perfect for long practices or game days.
2.
Dutch Braids
Dutch braids (aka reverse French
braids) are ideal for softball. They hug your head, keeping hair tight and
protected even during intense action. You can braid all the way down or tuck
the ends into a bun. This style is both secure and stylish under a cap or
helmet.
3. Bubble Ponytail
The bubble ponytail adds flair to
your regular pony. Simply secure your hair with multiple hair ties down the
length and fluff out the sections in between. This look prevents tangles and
works great with medium to long hair, especially if you're going for cute and
functional.
4. Low Braided Bun
If you prefer a sleek look, the low
braided bun is your go-to. Braid your ponytail and twist it into a bun at the
nape of your neck. It’s perfect under helmets and stays put through sliding,
sprinting, and swinging.
5.
Side French Braid
The side French braid is not only
charming but also keeps your hair tight to one side of your head. It’s ideal
for girls with medium or long hair and works well under visors and caps. This
style keeps your hair neat and manageable during doubleheaders.
6.
Double Buns
Double buns (or space buns) are
playful and practical. Part your hair down the middle and create two buns on
either side. This style distributes weight evenly and stays secure during long
games, especially when paired with bobby pins or a few small braids.
7. Braided Headband
Use your own hair to braid a
headband across the front of your head. It adds a cute accent while holding
back bangs or short layers. Pair this with a ponytail or bun for the ultimate
softball combo of sporty and stylish.
8. Messy Bun with Headband
9. Cornrows into Ponytail
10. French Braids into Low Pony
For extra grip and hold, French
braid each side of your head and combine them into a single low ponytail. This
style is a favorite among softball players because it’s both sturdy and sleek.
