Neck guard for long hair

[savage_sultin 0]

My daughter is 9 and for the longest time her hair has been getting caught in the Velcro closure on her neck guard. To fix the issue I’ve tried removing the Velcro and putting magnets. But they are not holding well enough. Magnets are made to hold with opposite strength not so much for linear strength. So the magnets as she moves her body and head the magnets will move across each other’s surfaces and let go. Any suggestions other than magnets for keeping the guard closed.

Move the Velcro to the front somehow with a new strap?

Aren't there base-layer shirts with the throat guard built in? I'm legitimately asking a question because I'm not sure. Or do those include Velcro too?

Try buttons, or just laces with holes.

This right here. Most are zippered with a Velcro closure up top

Does she tie or braid her hair back or let it flow? Braiding might keep it from getting caught.

Install snaps?

My daughter wears the Bauer baselayer with the built in neck protection and has never had issues with the Velcro.  She use to let it flow, but does a pony now.  FWIW.
