Kindergarten Boy Suspended For His "Distracting" Mohawk

We're elated to present this post from our partner site Yahoo! Shine:

When 5-year-old Ethan Clos showed up at school with a short, spiky mohawk last week, his fellow kindergarteners thought it was cool. But administrators at Reid Primary and Middle School in Springfield, Ohio, deemed the edgy cut too disruptive, and ordered him home until he adopted a tamer style.

His mom, Keshia Castle, said that school officials suspended her son on Wednesday. After he begged her for the hairstyle, she finally let him get it over spring break.

4 Olympic Hairstyles For Your Intense Workouts

It's one thing to work out, and it's another to train like an Olympian.

It's one thing to work out, and it's another to train like an Olympian. The best athletes in the world are used to grueling hours of training every day, and the last thing they need are distractions like their hair getting in the way. Take inspiration from these Olympians for the perfect no-distraction hairstyle for your next workout.

Keep it high: When they compete in the Olympics, gymnasts are highly encouraged to wear their hair off their neck, which explains all the high ponytails, topknots, and clipped-back hairdos. But these hairstyles aren't just for the judges; when you're flipping your way around a gym, the last thing you want to do is lose sight of the beam. But even if you don't normally balance on two-inch-wide surfaces in your workout routine, the pulled-back hairstyle is perfect for any kind of intense workout.

Braid flyaways: You may not run on the treadmill with locks flowing free like Sanya Richards-Ross's, but you can take a hint from her wearable hairstyle: a simple face-framing braid to keep flyways and bangs away from your forehead.
