"A few weeks ago, I was visiting my best friend in Oklahoma City and spent hours watching my adorable godson kick ass on the soccer field. At age six, he's too young to get distracted by cute girls, but I was\u2014specifically their hair accessories: long ribbons, giant clips, clunky barrettes. There's probably a reason Mia Hamm stuck to plain old elastics, I thought. I sure hope these little peewees don't get tangled up or bonked on the head.\\\" Turns out, I was right to be concerned, as [this story](http://wtvr.com/2012/07/09/nc-girl-creates-hair-bows-to-prevent-brain-injuries/) today out of Carolina Beach, North Carolina, cautions.\\n\\n\\n\\n                   \\n\\nSeven-year-old Mya Bartlett was kicking around a soccer ball when she fell backward, driving her Hello Kitty hair cubes into her skull and causing brain damage. And it's not just cubes: The NIH [has reported](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19035690) cases of blunt trauma where beads were imbedded deep into the head, causing skull fractures. Ouch is the understatement of the year here. Don't get me wrong: Glitzy hair accessories have their place\u2014it's just not in sports."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
