Which are there?
Today there are a huge number of hairstyles that are suitable for those involved in dancing. Some of them are quite difficult to perform and require treatment at hairdressers or beauty salons, while others can be done independently at home. The main rule - the hairstyle should be combined with the style of dance that you perform.
Hip Hop and Street Varieties
This style of dance is gaining more and more fans. He is impudent and has a rather fast rhythm - styling should correspond to such a mood.
So, one of the simplest, but at the same time the most common ways to design a hairstyle is to use a bandage. In this case, the hair itself can be left loose, and the bandage, in turn, will prevent hair from getting on the face and provide comfort during the performance. If your team has strict rules and hair must be collected, then the bandage can also be worn on a hairstyle with a braid or bobbin. It is important to note the fact that a correctly selected dressing will be a great addition to the costume and will serve as an unusual accessory.
Her color can completely match the color of the costume or hair, or it can be the opposite - in this case, the hairstyle will become bright and accent.
Another option is a high tail. In order to decorate it, you can use unusual elastic bands of bright colors. Also, hair can be sprayed with varnish with multi-colored sparkles, which will shine brightly from the scene.
Thus, hairstyles for hip-hop and street dances are quite easy to perform, and they can be done at home without the help of stylists.
Modern
Modern dances most often include styles such as contemp and modern. In the process of performing choreographic compositions of a similar genre, the dancer often and at a fairly fast pace changes the position of his body in space, so loose hair can interfere greatly. Due to the nature of the dance, the most popular hairstyle for this style is the gulka, and it should be quite strong.
The simplest variation of the gulka is when the hair is collected in a tail, then they are braided and wrapped around an elastic band, and then fixed with hairpins. In order for the hairstyle to hold well, a special mesh is put on it. If such a variation of the gulka seems too simple to you, then try to make more modern and interesting options.
So, a muzzle from flagella is very popular. To make a similar hairstyle, you need to collect a low tail, then it must be divided into several strands, each of which must be twisted into a bundle and secured with hairpins or invisible.
Another popular variety is a scythe with a scythe. To perform such styling, you need to leave a few supra-temporal and suprapubic strands of hair and fix them with clips. From the remaining volume of hair, we collect the classic bob, and then from the previously left strands weave braids in the direction of the bob, we hide the edges of the braids under the bob and fix it with hairpins.
In order for the hairstyle to hold for a long time and not deteriorate during the performance of the dance, it must be fixed with varnish with a high level of fixation.
Oriental and belly dance
The classic hairstyle for this genre is loose hair, as it plays a rather important role in the dance process and is an adornment of many choreographic compositions. Often, performers of oriental dances include various head movements in their numbers that demonstrate the beauty of their hair. This is the highlight of the choreographic compositions of this genre.
In this case, it is quite important that the hair is long or at least have an average length. If you are a happy owner of such hair, then you just need to wash, dry and comb your hair. If desired, you can also do styling with a hairdryer and foam or, conversely, straighten your hair.
In the opposite situation, if your haircut is quite short, you can grow your hair, thereby giving the required length.
This can be done at home with your own hands, using inexpensive hair extensions, or you can seek professional help from a stylist in a beauty salon. However, note that such services are quite expensive.
Latin
Latina is a pair of ballroom dancing. Often, performers of such choreography prefer to make rather voluminous and complex hairstyles that would go well with the chic costumes used for performances. That is why this category of dancers most often turns to hairdressers and beauty salons.
An important difference is that not only the partner, but also the partner must do the hairstyle for latina. Young people usually style their hair with various foams and mousses.
Spanish and gypsy
For Spanish and Gypsy dances, the same hairstyles are often used. Usually it is loose hair, a braid or a high tail.In this style (as well as in oriental dances) it is important that the hair is quite long, otherwise it is recommended to grow it.
A distinctive feature of hairstyles for choreography of this genre is the use of jewelry in the hair, usually red flowers. Despite the fact that such hairstyles are performed quite simply, they look spectacular from the stage and make a lasting impression on the audience.
Russians
Often, girls performing choreography in the Russian folk style put on hats on the stage - in this case, the hairstyle is not so important. If the hat is not used, then the classic option is an ordinary braid, which is also called Russian. Having preferred this hairstyle, you are definitely not mistaken.
What to look for?
Before proceeding to the independent selection of hairstyles, several important factors should be considered. So, if you are a member of a choreographic collective or attend a dance school, then your choreographer-teacher is the person who determines the general style of the collective. Without fail before performances and concerts you will be informed about the requirements for appearance, including the hairstyle that needs to be done. The uniformity of the team on the stage looks pretty beautiful, gives the impression of professionalism.
On the other hand, if you are a solo dancer, then the choice of hairstyle depends only on your individual preferences and tastes. From performance to performance, you are free to change hairstyles, each time creating a new image.
It is important to remember the fact that no matter what hairstyle you choose, you need to make sure that she holds pretty tight, does not interfere with your choreography and does not deteriorate during the dance. Therefore, it is worth taking care of the use of reliable hairpins, hairpins, rubber bands and invisibles, as well as fixing the hairstyle with varnish with a strong fixation.
Styling for dance tournaments
Particular attention is required to the hairstyle of the dancer, who is preparing to speak at the competition. Under such circumstances, styling must meet several criteria at once: convenience, reliability and durability, aesthetics, and image matching.
- The most time-consuming will be hairstyles for ballroom dancing - to create them, you will need special creativity. So, complex styling is often used, which requires professional skill.
