Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a method and device for adding an opening on a head strap of a Baseball or Softball sports protective face mask to allow a person to tie their hair back or wear a ponytail style while properly securing the head strap. This opening is designed to allow for the proper attachment of a ponytail or other tied back hair style, while still securing the face mask. The invention solves the problem of players being unable to wear a protective face mask while having their hair tied up in a ponytail or other hair style. The head strap can be made from various materials and can be permanently or temporarily installed on the face mask."

Problems solved by technology

Normally, a person engaged in Baseball or Softball sports utilizing a protective facemask is unable to tie their hair back or put their hair into a ponytail style because doing so prevents the elastic strap from being properly secured on the person's head.
