Ballroom dancing is a world of magical, mesmerizing movements. All eyes are on the dancers, they are always in the spotlight. And this is due not only to the plasticity of movements, but also to the appearance of the athletes. Bright, unusual costumes are half the battle. Hairstyle for ballroom dance completes the whole image. Sometimes it’s easier for dancers to decide on a costume than on hair styling.
Strict rules
Beautiful dance and stylish image of a dancer is a long and difficult work of professionals. It is impossible to enter the floor without a special hairstyle for ballroom dancing. Children and adults must adhere to a special hairstyle code. The rules are not so complicated, but they must be strictly observed. General requirements for the work of a hairdresser:
- the hairstyle should match the costume;
- approach the dance program;
- when creating a masterpiece from hair, you need to take into account the shape of the face oval;
- sustain the style of the couple;
- must be original, a highlight.
Hair jewelry must also comply with the rules. The smallest dancers are generally strictly forbidden! Therefore, young ladies gracefully moving along the dance floor usually have a simple muzzle. Of course, this is not a reason to abandon ballroom dancing. Hairstyles for girls with jewelry will be available as soon as they move to the Junior 1 category.
Less glitter and glamor
Costumes of dancing talents can shine, shimmer and dazzle with bright colors. But for hairstyles, there are strict rules:
- it is forbidden to use hair spray with sparkles;
- no overhead strands and hairpieces;
- highlighting and tinting of hair is also a taboo;
- tall, complex structures are a mistake;
- jewelry in the Juvenile category is prohibited;
- the Junior 1 category can only use flickering hair clips.
Modest but spectacular
A hairstyle for ballroom dancing should be present at the partner. Boys often refuse to do styling, do not want to use means for fixation. From this view, the couple is not perfect! Disheveled and sweaty partner does not decorate the dance tandem. Although laying man’s hair is a simple matter. You can simply lick back the strands using mousse. The partner will immediately transform, a well-groomed and fit look is guaranteed.
The modest styling of a strong representative of a couple is an important attribute. But if you complicate the hair a little, the dancers immediately stand out from the crowd. Boys can build a small fleece from the bangs, lay it on its side. Or make a smooth hairstyle with a clear parting. Usually, the master of hairstyles for ballroom dancing, glancing at the man, immediately renders his verdict: what will work and what will not. Men's hairstyles are much smaller than women's. But having shown creativity and imagination, you can come up with something new, unusual, to highlight a couple from the crowd. The main thing is not to overdo it! It is better to dance well and thus attract the attention of the jury than to have a chic, defiant hairstyle, but move worse than others.
Princess hairstyle
Hairstyle for ballroom dance is not very difficult. If you practice a little, you can completely do without a master. The base is a tail or a bundle. If the hair is short, do not wrap it in a muzzle. They will still knock out, and the view will become untidy. Tie a tight tail on the back of the head, wrap around the elastic band. Now comes the turn of a special hairnet. Gently pull it on your hair and fix it. On sale there are grids of different colors and textures pasted with rhinestones, pearls, and beads. After the hairstyle is completely ready, solidly fill with varnish. Everything should be fixed firmly so that not a single hair is pulled out of the hairstyle.
Complicated Option
You can make a hairstyle for ballroom dancing in another way. Add the unusual braids. Tie a tight ponytail on the back of the head. Now we need to weave the maximum number of identical braids. We wrap an elastic band with them and pin them with small hairpins or strengthen them with hairpins. It turns out a very delicate and unusual hairstyle. And if, instead of the usual braids, weave "spikelet", then you get a simply stunning hairstyle. French braids are now at the peak of popularity. You can dream up and create unusual weaves on your head. The braid rim favorably emphasizes the graceful silhouette of the girl and diversifies the hairstyle. The main thing is not to overdo it with the volume, the braids should be quite dense.
A beautiful, stylish hairstyle for a boy is very important . Ballroom dancing develops a good habit in the stronger sex - always looking good.
Growth matters
Dancing couples are not always perfect for growth. There are small tricks that will help visually equalize partners. If the partner is higher, the beam is made as low as possible. A male dancer would be good to do a high pile. If the opposite is true, and the girl is lower, the bun or hoot should be on the back of the head. And the partner should be “licked by the cow”: the hairstyle is smooth and neat. Then the difference in growth will be less noticeable, the view will become harmonious. The heads of partners with hairstyles should be the same size, this balance is very important. If you do not comply with the proportions, on the floor it will look comical and unaesthetic.
Competitive option
At rehearsals and small performances, the hairstyle for ballroom dancing can be classic, restrained. But if the couple goes to the competition, you will have to try. Let's start with the fairer sex:
- it is better to wash your hair the day before the performance, then they will be more supple, will not crumble;
- spray each strand with varnish and carefully comb, now the hair is elastic and supple;
- we collect a high tail at the crown, leaving a small lock on the sides and behind;
- comb the tail and varnish;
- from the resulting bunch, try to create something like a shell, wrap the bunch a little inward and secure it with hairpins;
- twist the remaining strands into the curling iron, generously spray varnish and apply them tightly in waves to the hair. For reliability, we fasten each strand with several invisible hairpins;
- Now the most pleasant moment is the decor. Special rhinestones, harmonizing in color with the costume, complement hairstyles for ballroom dancing. Photos will help you choose the option you want. Glue rhinestones on wavy strands. You can place them in a chaotic manner or line them up in a straight line - your imagination is already entering here.
Transforming a partner
The partner’s competitive hairstyle should also be elegant. A few days before the performance, it is advisable to visit a beauty salon and trim the haircut, to trim all the excess from behind. On the day of the contest you need to wash your hair. With a special gel that gives the effect of wet hair, we coat hair well. If the haircut is too short, parting on the side. It should begin approximately from the middle of the eye and end at the back of the head. We bring the parting to perfection with a thin handle of a comb or a nail file. You should get a straight line. And comb the hair at the temples forward and fix with varnish.
If the hair length is more than 15 cm, you can make a beautiful pile. Treat all hair with mousse. Fix the bang with a hairpin and fold it to the forehead. From the hair in the middle, make a high pile. In strands of bangs, carefully cover the bouffant and generously fill with strong fixation varnish.
A knot for fame
An extravagant hairstyle for ballroom dancing is obtained using harnesses. Twisting them is not so easy, you need to practice several times in your free time. But the effect will be amazing. The hair should be flavored with mousse, then divide it into equal parts with clear partings from the forehead to the back of the head. From each resulting strand, twist a tight tourniquet and fix it with a hairpin or rubber band for money. Immediately fill with hairspray. When all the harnesses are ready, we collect the tips into a bundle. It can be laid in a net or wrapped in a muzzle. If the requirements are not too strict, create volumetric curls from the remnants of hair and collect in the tail. Not everyone decides on such a bold hairstyle, but, having tried it once, make it their hallmark.
With small plaits, a stylish hairstyle for the boy can also be made. Ballroom dancing is a celebration of body and soul, so on the day of the contest you can embellish your partner as well.
Tape
Just a dozen years ago, the ribbon was a favorite decoration of hairstyles. Each schoolgirl mom weaved beautiful, bright ribbons into braids. Now this is irrelevant, but not for the hairstyles of athletes. A ribbon matching the costume, skillfully woven into the hairstyle, looks great. The image is stylish. Especially suitable for a couple in retrostyle. For a flirty look, you can tie the ends of the ribbon in a nice bow.
Types of styling
Hairstyles for ballroom dancing can be divided into categories:
- The classic tail is suitable for Latin American dances. A laconic, simple hairstyle, a classic costume, but an incendiary moving dance enter into an idyll and attract the attention of spectators and the jury. Such a hairstyle will not distract from clearly worked out and quick movements and will bring success.
- "Shell" is designed to speak at European programs. This is a classic that will never become obsolete or go out of style. A huge plus is that there is such a hairstyle to all, without exception.
- Ribbons, flagella, braids - this is a universal option that will suit any program. But not braids can be applied to every style, so they are not so common on the floor.
Grace
When choosing hairstyles, be sure to make a trial version at least a day before the performance. After all, athletes already experience nervous tension, worry, get tired in training. And if, on the day of the contest, the hairstyle fails, you can even perform poorly because of the expended energy and nerves. A masterpiece on the head should not attract all the attention. The hairstyle should be as smooth as possible so that the graceful silhouette does not lose its grace due to broken and developing strands. Create, fantasize and shine on the floor!
