   As the weather heats up, the horse showing jumps into full swing! There are quite a few things that are special to horse shows, and hair nets tend to be one of them. Some people will ride with a hair net every day, but most do not. This post will demonstrate some of the most common ways to wear a hair net that is all wrong! If you wear your hair in one of these fashions, fear not! Next week there will be a video detailing how to properly wear a hair net.

The Knotty Way

   The knots of the hair net strategically placed over the ears.

   While this is clever to help relieve some pain from a knot digging into your scalp, there are better fixes!! Like a one knot hair net.

All Ears

   Somehow you get all the hair in the hair net, yet it all gets tucked behind the ears.

   Way to go, you technically put your hair in a hair net. But, you've truly defeated the purpose, no one wants to see your ears! Why? No clue. We just don't.

Low Rider

   This look is usually paired with a wild look in the riders eye and a sweaty, run-away horse.

   The best fix here is to get a properly fitting helmet, but pushing back the hair net to align with your hair line will solve this one in no time. Just make sure you actually get the hair over your ears.

Peak-a-boo Ears

   The hair net made it over the ears, we just forgot about the hair.

   C'mon people! You got this far, just get the hair over your ears! This way of doing your hair net really makes no sense. What are you trying to avoid by not getting the hair with the hair net?

The Hot Mess

   This is the "I tried, I'm just bad at it" look.

   Practice, practice, practice!!! Or get a hair net nazi to do it for you. This look usually starts out looking like it should be just fine, but then after two warm up jumps things start to fall apart.

Bad Ballerina

   The hair is usually in a low ponytail and then for some reason we bunch all of our hair into a hair net.

   Only dressage riders are seen with a little bun sticking out of the bottom of their hair nets. And most definitely they do not look like this! If you are jumping we shouldn't even be having this conversation.

   Please, if any of these looks have graced your noggin, or if you have seen them on your friends please stay tuned for next weeks video on how to correctly wear a hair net!!!
