Coach Nieman Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Could someone give me a reminder of the rules in regards to long hair now? It's changed a lot in the last several years and I can't find my rule book. Paycheck141 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's changed a lot in the last several years and I can't find my rule book. Rule 4-2 sec 2 (in part) Physical hair treatment items that are hard and/or abrasive such as (beads, bobby pins, barrettes, pins, hair clips, etc. or any other hair control device) shall not be permitted. A legal device hair-controlled such as rubber band(s) shall be secured so as not to come out readily during wrestling. A wrestler may contain his/her hair in a legal hair cover. The legal hair cover, if worn, shall be attached to the ear guards. A bandanna is not considered legal hair covering. The legal hair covering must be of a solid material and be nonabrasive. The wrestler opting to wear a legal hair cover must wear it to the weigh-in procedure and be checked for grooming with it on. The legal hair cover must be removed prior to the wrestler stepping on the scale to be weighed. If the referee is not present at weigh-ins, the hair cover must be checked by the meet referee upon arrival at the site.

After the hair cutting Mat side at a meet in Jersey I think, NFHS changed it. To avoid legal issues with religious wrestlers.

Hornet Coach Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) I know my coach had to cut my mullet back in the day and I wasn't too happy about it. Needless to say, my coach wasn't a barber and wasn't worried, at all, what it looked like, as long as the refs gave the thumbs up. Man, that thing was a work of art and was ruined. That's all, carry on with the actual productive discussion.
