Types of styling for ballroom dancing

The main hairstyles for ballroom dancing are tails and buns. If you have patience and practice, it is quite possible to do the styling for the girl yourself, without resorting to the services of stylists.

It will be much more difficult to cope with short hair than with long ones, because it is much more problematic to collect them in a bun or tail, individual curls will be knocked out of the general mass and make the hairstyle disheveled and unkempt, spoiling the overall impression of the performance.

Classic styling options:

• Tail. This is the simplest hairstyle that can be used for Latin American dances. When performing incendiary movements, the attention of the audience will not be attracted by such a laconic styling. A girl who dances will be very comfortable with a similar hairstyle, as tightly gathered hair will not distract from the dance.
• European dances are comfortable to dance with a seashell hairstyle. This type of styling is classic and has not gone out of fashion for a long time. In addition to the fact that it is very easy to perform, it suits almost everyone, regardless of the shape of the face and the individual characteristics of the girl. There are a huge variety of options for performing this hairstyle, so you can show your imagination and choose the most beautiful and fastest to perform.
• Use of ribbons, harnesses and braids. Such hairstyles are far from suitable for all dance programs, which is why it is not often possible to find weaves and ribbons from dancers.

European classics

The very name "European" already contains certain rules and requirements for both the costume and the hairstyle, which should be, first of all, classical, but not interfere with the dance of either the partner or the partner herself.

The philosophical “to lose face” fully applies to all elements of a ballroom costume, and a hairstyle has no right to get disheveled or crumble to the floor with decorative elements, everything must be firmly held and carefully fixed.

In addition, there are several mandatory limiting rules for ballroom hairstyles for girls:

• bulky high hairstyles are not recommended;
• all kinds of false hair;
• any elements with the effect of "shimmer" or sparkles in the hair, this applies to both varnish and any hairpins;
• color hair coloring.

It should be borne in mind that if the rules are not followed, the Chief Judge on the dance floor can make a remark to the performing couple, so the hairstyle should be combined with the dress, meet the rules, be very thoughtful and not very difficult to perform.

All types of elegant beams remain ideal for slow dances.

A variety of hairstyles with large soft buns or small strong buns are ideal choices for a ball gown hairstyle.

They can be:

• low, located on the line below the occiput;
• middle position, directly on the back of the head;
• high, located on the top of the head.

The choice of hairstyle with the location of the bun depends not only on the style of the dress, but, in particular, even the height of the partner matters.

If the couple is of the same height, then it is not recommended to choose a high hairstyle for the partner, so as not to be taller and not to disturb the general harmony of the dancing couple. Consider the option of creating a hairstyle with an elegant low bun and braids for the European program based on a low bun and a French braid wave from the forehead through the temporal region to the back of the head.

This will require:

• a hair dryer with a crevice nozzle;
• curling tongs;
• hair straightening irons;
• mousse for extra strong styling or styling gel, depending on the type of hair;
• several elastic bands for attaching individual strands;
• invisible hairpins and hairpins without additional decorative elements;
• massage brush;
• double-sided comb with sparse and frequent teeth;
• varnish;
• decorative tape for fixing the bundle.

A hairstyle for demonstration performances in ballroom dancing is performed taking into account strength, accuracy, general strength, ease of implementation, and includes the following sequence of steps:

1. On clean, well-dried hair, combed with a massage brush, apply ultra-strong fixing mousse along the entire length, and then comb with a double-sided comb, first with one side with medium teeth, then the other with more frequent teeth. This treatment will give your hair its original smoothness and silky shine.
2. Separate a wide strand with the forehead and braid a French braid of three smaller strands, weaving into each subsequent "stitch" of the braid a strand only on the right, that is, performing the one-sided weaving method. Weave the braid, placing it on the "crown" principle over the forehead towards the temple and firmly fix the remaining tail with an elastic band. Arrange additional decorative items, such as flowers, at equal intervals, to match the dress.
3. Gather the rest of the hair into a high tail, located above the back of the head, with the help of another elastic band. Comb the hair that is pulled into the ponytail with a comb with frequent teeth, so that not only strands, but even individual hairs are not knocked out of the hairstyle.
4. Collect the tail into a strong bun, securing it in a circle using ordinary hairpins.
5. Continue weaving the French braid further from the temple towards the bun at the back of the head. Gently place the braid around the base of the bundle, also very neatly fixing it with hairpins decorated with flowers, placing them at regular intervals. Thus, the bun of the hairstyle will be decorated twice - the most oblique and hairpins with decorative elements.
6. Spray the resulting hairstyle with strong hold varnish.

In addition to the master class, you should only recommend frequent workouts before the final weaving, which will form the skill of a more accurate and quick hairstyle that requires no more than 30 minutes of your time.

Helpful hints and tips

• Before forming a wonderful ripple effect on the hair, the hairdresser is advised to thoroughly wash the hair and then dry it. The strands must be clean and absolutely dry. Please note - the effect of hot plates on damp curls will necessarily have a bad effect on their structure and condition.
• The splendor of the hairstyle obtained as a result will directly depend on the thickness of the strand. The thinner the selected curls, the more voluminous the styling will turn out as a result of all the procedures performed.
• Remember to use quality thermal protection products. They will protect your head of hair from the negative effects of high temperatures.

• If the hair does not want to obey you, then you can apply mousse or styling gel to it.
• To maximize the volume, it is advisable to pick up the strands from the very roots.
• Watch the temperature regime. For tough curls, a temperature of 200-210 degrees is recommended. If the strands are thin and not the healthiest, then it is better not to go beyond 180 degrees.

Beautiful examples

Full length crimped hair can look good when paired with crimped bangs. The latter can be curled only in a certain area, making large curls.

To make the hairstyle more playful and flirty, the bangs should be laid on one side.

A lush head of hair with a chic root volume will look even more solid and effective if supplemented with small and medium curls (waves) along the entire length. In this case, there may not be bangs, and the strands located at the very forehead should be combed back.

It is interesting for young ladies to look at medium-length hair with medium corrugation and a side parting. The bangs may not be here either. It is advisable to give this styling additional root volume in the crown area.

Pros and cons

If yesterday you were the owner of absolutely even and smooth curls, then today you can boast of perky curls of different types. Even a small number of such strands, located near the face itself, can bring a unique zest to the lady's look.
• This hair styling technique is also distinguished by its affordability. Every woman of fashion will be able to add the effect of the corrugation to the hair, even at home. You don't have to spend a lot of effort on this. To do this, it is enough to use forceps with special attachments.

Some girls prefer stones to rhinestones. A scattering of pearls will look spectacular in combination with the classics.You can also use decorative hairpins, the main thing is that the hairstyle looks harmonious, and does not shine like a Christmas tree.

Decor and decorations for ballroom hairstyles

Hair styling for dancers

You can style your hair before a performance with the help of professionals, but simple hairstyles are not difficult to do yourself. Master classes that are available on the Internet will help you to learn. Much attention is paid to dance styles, because an unsuccessful choice can destroy the image and leave a negative impression even from a perfectly performed choreographic composition. The following hairstyles are usually done:

It is better to wash your head before the day of performance, and during styling it is advisable not to overdo it with styling products, otherwise the hair will look dirty. To make the hairstyle look beautiful and hold well, you need to prepare in advance a comb with large teeth, tight elastic bands, ordinary invisibility and hairpins, styling gel or foam and a high-hold varnish.

Girls over 16 are allowed to decorate their hair. To do this, you can use ribbons, rhinestones, nets, small feathers and hairpins that match the style of the entire outfit. The main thing is not to overuse large and shiny decor, otherwise the hairstyle will look bulky and defiant.

Short and medium length

It is quite difficult to get a good ball gown hairstyle on short hair. A secure hold is very important, since small strands are most easily tousled during the dance. To obtain volume, it is recommended to pre-treat the hair with mousse and comb it well. It is most convenient to remove short strands on the sides of the head towards the back of the head.

It will take a lot of bobby pins or silicone clips to secure all the hairs. You can separate several strands in the area of ​​the ears and fix them beautifully on the skin with the help of a gel.

Correctly selected accessories - hairpins or several invisible hairpins decorated with rhinestones or beads - will help to make the styling more interesting and elegant. Medium length hair gives you much more room for imagination. They can be used to make almost any standard hairstyle - shell, bun or tail.

A special mesh is sometimes put on the curls gathered in a bun. It keeps them smooth. An example of a hairstyle from medium hair based on a ponytail:

Hairstyles with nets look elegant, which hide protruding hairs well, which is often the case with their short length. For such styling, a bundle or tail is made closer to the neck, which is wrapped around an elastic band. A decorative mesh is put on the resulting bun, corresponding to the style of the outfit.You can take not all the strands into the tail, but lay out a pattern on the head from several and carefully fasten it.

Long hair

In order for a hairstyle to give a competitor confidence in herself, you need to "get to know" her in advance. This is especially true for the owners of long curls, whose preparation for the performance takes a lot of time: after all, it will no longer be possible to redo something in case of an unsuccessful choice. It is imperative to check the convenience and determine in advance the time that will have to be spent on styling.

On long hair, you can make not only bunches and buns, as on medium hair, but also experiment with bundles and shells. A beautiful wave on the head is created using the corrugation technology, but it can be performed only if there is a special tool. Visually, ribbed hairstyles, for which a special powder is used, will give more volume to a thin head of hair.

The ribs are made of separate strands, which are lifted, fixed with a hairpin and heavily sprayed with varnish. Their location depends on the imagination of the master.

On long hair, various styling options based on the classic shell look good. To complete it, the entire volume of clean and slightly damp curls is shifted to one side, and several invisible ones are pinned at the bend. The folded hair is then combed and the ends are curled inward. The resulting roller is fixed with pins and decorated. The top of the shell can be shaped in different ways, and the roller itself can be made smooth or ribbed.

Conclusion

Soft, laid waves are suitable for a feminine and romantic look. This hairstyle will stand out from other dancing couples and look good even from a distance. But it is worth considering that the styling should be in harmony with the dress and the selected jewelry. Rhinestones will be great with corrugated strands in a ball gown hairstyle.
