Hairstyles for girls for ballroom dancing

Ballroom dance fascinates with its grace and aesthetics. Flexible and fragile dancers seem to be free from physical laws, literally soar above the floor. To make a real choreographic work out of simple dance, undoubtedly, great skill and talent are needed. However, the image of balloons occupies an equally important place in the whole performance and greatly affects the impression of the audience. And the dancer's hairstyle is one of the most important details of her image.

At various sports competitions and ballroom tournaments, there are certain rules for the appearance of participants. This applies not only to costume, shoes, but also hairstyles for performances.

• Accuracy. For ballroom dancing, the smoothness and accuracy of the hairstyle is especially important. It can be various bunches, tightly tailed tails and tightly laid curls. Various bouffants, magnificent tails and bangs are by no means suitable for a ballroom dance competition or for ordinary performances.

• Comfort. Both very young and adult dancers should not be distracted by discomfort from poorly thought out styling during a performance. The varnish should firmly fix each curl, and the studs should not stick into the scalp. A bundle or braid should be made so as not to disintegrate from active movements of the head.

• Open face. Facial expression is one of the important tools of a professional dancer, along with plastic and strength. That is why even the most complex ballroom hairstyle should not cover the face and eyes of the participant.In the event that the girl has her bangs cut off, she should be laid up or to the side, opening her eyebrows and forehead.

• Relevance. The styling should be combined with the costume and the dance of the speaker, creating a single image. It should complement it, and not distract all attention. Often this is achieved by decorations that resonate with the elements of the outfit.

In this regard, you can choose several universal styling for each age category. The requirements for hairstyles for novice dancers and experienced masters vary significantly. So, for children under 15 years of age, who may already be juniors, the use of false strands or hairpieces, dyeing and shiny varnishes is prohibited.

Boys and girls under 7 years of age fall into this category. Children's hairstyles should be as simple and convenient as possible. Most often these are various bunches, braids and "huts". In the form of jewelry, hairpins and hairpins with artificial flowers that do not shimmer and shine can be used.

Juveniles are those children who are 8-11 years old this year. The requirements for their hairstyles are similar to the requirements for very young girls. The best solution in this case is a simple shell, a smooth high or low tail, a complex bunch.

For juniors, who can be from 12 to 15 years old, the requirements are becoming a bit softer. Short hair, jewelry in the form of various curls and braids of hair, as well as more massive jewelry, are becoming available.

Dancers from 16 years old to 21 years old fall into this category. For them, the use of various hairpieces and artificial strands is allowed. Hairstyles become more complex, jewelry abundant. The hairstyle often uses stones and fabric, which were used when sewing a competition suit.

Despite the stereotypical opinion that balnits should have exceptionally long hair, there are many girls with short haircuts who also compete. Of course, such haircuts are not recommended in groups of juniors and juveniles, however, you can choose a suitable styling for any hair length.

Long thick hair is the most suitable material for creating a beautiful ballroom hairstyle. They can be removed in a beautiful high or low bunch, braided with a large scythe, put into a grid or put in separate curls. Even the largest elements will not require additional rollers and pads, if the length and density of your own hair is large enough.

On the middle hair, various tails look great, which, due to their size, will not interfere with the performance of dance elements. Various shells and curls, thin pigtails are also perfect for medium hair length.

Short hair is difficult to put in a bun or braid - either there will not be enough hair length, or the tips will stick out inaccurately. In this case, a short haircut can be beautifully styled with a lot of varnish and mousse. From large and thin strands, you can create beautiful waves, comb them to the side and decorate with a small flower or ribbon.

The hairstyle for the performance can be simple and concise, made using one element, or it can combine several techniques. For a sports competition, it is best to contact a professional hairdresser who has experience in creating such hairstyles. You can choose one of the main varieties and supplement it with individual elements.

All kinds of braids are a great solution for a girl’s hairstyle from 5 to 15. Modest and at the same time quite complex styling from braids will not attract unnecessary attention, they are unusual and not too pretentious.

Various "ghulki" and bunches - this is the most classic version of the ballroom hairstyle. Depending on the number of additional elements and decorations, this option can be both strict and concise, and quite original.

Like a bunch, such a hairstyle is a classic for ballroom dancing. It looks great on medium and long hair, and with a certain dexterity, even fairly short hair can be put in a shell.

Tight tows of various sizes, laid in a complex high hairstyle, are most often used by more experienced athletes. Such a hairstyle requires a more complex image, brighter makeup and an elaborate suit. Harnesses look especially good on dark, almost black hair in combination with dark skin.

Such a hairstyle is suitable for owners of medium length hair, since an excessively voluminous and long tail can interfere with the dance. Various curls placed above it will add more structurality and complexity to the ordinary tail.

To make a hairstyle suitable for performing at the competition is not easy on its own, especially for the first time. It is best to choose sleek, sleek options without a lot of decorative elements. For example, a classic bunch. To create it, you need to prepare in advance:

• comb with large teeth;
• tight gum;
• simple hairpins or invisible in hair color;
• foam or styling gel;
• strong hold varnish.

In addition, you can choose a beautiful hairpin, bezel or other decoration, if allowed by the rules of the competition. The step-by-step instruction for creating a classic smooth beam is as follows.

• On clean and dry hair, apply styling gel or foam and spread the comb along its entire length.
• To collect hair in a high tail and carefully fix with an elastic band. All hair should be combed smoothly, not a single lock should be knocked out.
• A tight tourniquet is folded from the tail, wrapped around an elastic band and fixed with studs or invisible. The tip of the tourniquet is hidden under the remaining hair and is well fixed inside.
• Styling is well fixed with varnish and decorated with additional elements, if available and allowed.

• Firstly, to create hairstyles, various elastic bands, hairpins and invisibility are used. They should be strong and invisible, in color they should merge with the hair and not shine in the sun or in the spotlights.
• Secondly, to add extra volume, you can use various rollers, bagels and lining. With their help, even from the thinnest hair, you can get a chic bun or shell.
• Thirdly, the most important role is played by hair spray. He must strongly fix each curl, even if it is not fixed by an invisible or elastic band.

The secret to a shiny and smooth styling of any shape that only professional balnits can boast is multilayer styling. To begin with, a large amount of foam or mousse is applied to the hair and dried with a hair dryer. After that, the curls are laid in the necessary shape, a layer of gel of strong fixation is applied and the hair is again dried with a hairdryer. The topcoat is made from a layer of resistant varnish or mousse, which is allowed to dry naturally.This multi-level fixation completely eliminates the breakdown of the strands and the appearance of broken hairs. All styling products should be selected from professional series so as not to cause unnecessary harm to the hair and scalp.

Girls over 15 years old are allowed to decorate the styling for the performance with additional elements. It can be rhinestones, ribbons, various hairpins and stones, nets and even feathers. All these elements are attached to varnished hair with a special glue that fixes them well. Do not abuse large and shiny elements, they will look too defiant and bulky.

On short and medium hair, various variations of shells and tails look beautiful, decorated with hairpins, rhinestones and curls.
