Our hair style for dance this year is the low side bun with a deep part.  This is not a style we have used previously for competitions, so I decided to check out some tutorials on YouTube – always a great resource!  I used the tutorial below for some guidance and made a few additional steps to ensure my dancer’s bun would not fall out.
Additional Steps We Use:
1. Â I spray my dancers hair with a spray bottle prior to putting it into a low ponytail.
2.  I gel my dancers hair after wetting it and prior to putting it in the ponytail.  This ensures that her hair will be smooth and sleek.
3. Â Because my dancer has thinner hair, I use a teasing comb that I purchased at Sally Beauty supply to tease the ponytail, prior to twisting it in a bun. Â We purchased this one and it works great.
4. Â In addition to the hairpins, I use bobby pins to secure extra pieces and make sure that bun is not going anywhere!
5. Â When complete, I cover the bun with a hairnet to match my dancers hair color.
I was surprised to find this style much easier than I anticipated.  At dress rehearsal, I managed to change my dancers hair from a high bun to the side bun in just a few minutes.
