Ballroom Dance Hairstyles for Boys

How to make a ballroom dance boy hairstyle?

Ballroom hairstyles for boys can be easily done at home, having prepared in advance: by purchasing combs of different calibers, flat tools, with wider teeth and in large quantities, as well as a brushing comb.

With the correct haircut, you only need to lay the strands to the right or left, lightly applying the fixing agent.

You need to use the styling products carefully, little by little, since the child's skin is still very delicate, sensitive to chemical components. If the curls are longer than 2-3 cm, varnish or mousse will fix the hair well, allowing them to look neat, no matter how fast and mobile the dance numbers are.

• Hair can be styled by combing it from the forehead to the crown, dividing it with a parting line (in the middle or offset to the side), combing the bangs, and if it is absent, comb the front curls.
• If the hair is unevenly elongated, for example, short from the side, longer at the crown, the best effect is to comb it up, fixing it in this position.

Ballroom boys' hairstyles are styled differently, depending on which number the child is performing.

Nowadays, Latin American rhythms of samba, jive, pasadoble, rumba, cha-cha-cha are popular. Haircuts for these numbers are made out in soft, lush proportions. There is no clear occipital line in them, some waviness is allowed.

A similar elongated nape fits in a small curl upward. The graceful head of hair adds height to those with a long neck. Other adolescents should refrain from long curls and collars, avoiding visual shortening of the neck.

The best option is to form your own unique personal image.

For reference! In the European program (waltz, foxtrot, tango), Italians create a short cut and a clear straight silhouette on the head. The areas of the temples, the back of the head are shaved almost to zero. Further, the elongation increases, a high straight line is formed up the head to the occipital region. The result is an organic, expressive silhouette.

Appropriately designed hair is also an opportunity to level the difference in the height of a boy and a girl. When he is about the same level with his partner or a little lower, styling his hair, they are slightly raised, combed, and the girls' hair is laid low. But when the girl is very small, her strands are laid high, licking the guy's curls.

What are the secrets of covering your hair to keep it strong before going out on the floor and during performance?

Select the fixing varnish carefully. This is the main way of resilience. Apply sparingly, spraying from a distance of about 30 cm from the hair. Also apply the gel in moderation. It makes the strands heavier, but having sprayed in advance, by the time the hair comes out, it can lose its shape.

Guys in dance performances are generally prohibited from creating overly creative dance haircuts (mohawk, gavroche, square). The justification is correct, since such an external appearance is inappropriate to the nature of the performed number.

Be sure to use mousse. The tool lifts the roots, settling them in the right direction, stiffens the curl structure, keeping the required shape longer. But how to lay them with a hair dryer?

Get a high-power hair dryer with a fine nozzle. Choosing a wider nozzle, it is more difficult to arrange a spot adjustment, you can only dry the curls. Wash your hair first. Then apply mousse to the roots of all oblongness. Straighten the strands from the back of the head, starting to lift, guide the roots.

Then work on the ends of the hair like finishing touches. The curls are raised, pointwise directing the hair dryer to the roots, passing along the curls with the comb upward.

What should be a ballroom hairstyle: basic requirements

• Speaking professionally, in the sports genre, comfort is above all important. Hair should not interfere with sharp turns, long active movements during different numbers.
• They are obliged to look pretty with the rest of the image, brightly decorating, complementing it. To emphasize the advantages of appearance, to make “sins” as unsightly and hidden as possible.

For reference! The requirements of the IDSF (International Dance Sport Federation) state that children and young men of different age categories are advised to cut their hair short for ballroom dancing. Long hair is allowed to be worn, provided that it is collected in a ponytail.

The durability of the strands being laid is important. No matter how long the performances last, for any period of time the head of hair must maintain an ideal look.

The distinct sheen of the coating lends it luxury. This is done with the help of grease, which, in addition to shining, will perfectly fix the haircut. Severity and clarity of lines must be observed.

What haircuts are right?

The stylists who style their hair by a famous dancer do not name the specific names of haircuts for ballroom dancing. Explaining this by the fact that an individual approach is extremely important here. Therefore, it is advised to explain to your hairdresser in detail what kind of haircut you want for ballroom dancing.

Be sure to tell us about how the hairstyle will be styled, and what effect you are trying to achieve after styling, so that you get exactly what you need and what your dancer will like.

The hardest part is styling

It is not an easy task to make a beautiful hairstyle for going to the floor, which includes several important stages. But first, it's worth getting to know some of the secrets.

In the arsenal of a dancer should be mousses, varnishes, gels of super strong fixation.

• Of greatest importance for fixation is varnish... Therefore, its choice must be approached carefully. When using varnish, remember: don't be sorry, but don't overdo it either.
• It is worth not overdoing it with gel, as it weighs down your hair and by the beginning of the performance, your hairstyle may simply fall off.
• Mousse is necessary, it will allow you to raise the roots and lay them in the right direction. Using it will make your hair stiffer and keep it in shape longer.

Hairdryer styling

For styling, you need a powerful hairdryer with a fine nozzle.If you choose a wide nozzle, then it will be very difficult to make a point styling, with such a nozzle they usually just dry the hair.

Before styling, be sure to wash your hair, apply to the roots and along the entire length of the hair mousse.

Start styling your hair from the back of your head. The hair roots in styling are of paramount importance, so first they are styled - lifted and guided. But the ends of the hair play the role of additional strokes that complete the overall picture.

To lift the hair, the hair dryer is pointwise directed to the roots, lifting the hair up with the comb.

Beautiful parting

Parting is the second step. Traditionally, it runs a little from the side; it is considered a classic to do a parting from the middle of the eyebrow (left or right, if desired) to the crown. You can use the double brush to part the hair in the direction you want it to be.

You can fix the result with a hairdryer, directing it to the roots.

When styling the parting, direct the hair at the bottom of the temples back, and at the top, style it from top to bottom. In the parietal zone, the hair is laid back, with the exception of the bangs. Its stylists recommend laying the top down from below and directing it slightly to one side, so that a cornice is obtained.

Although you can always experiment and choose what will suit your boy more.

Hair styling

The first stage is over, it's time to give the desired shape. For these purposes, we use a gel (quite a bit), which we distribute along the entire length of the curls - from the bangs to the back of the head.

The final stage of modeling is fixing with varnish. At this stage, you will need, in addition to varnish, a comb with rare teeth and a hair dryer.

First, spray the roots on the back of the head with varnish and leave. Modeling the parting and whiskey. Spray the latter with varnish and lightly smooth it with a comb, directing the hair back. Then we fix them with varnish, and with a hairdryer (at minimum power) dry them in the direction of laying.

Parting and bangs are also sprayed with varnish, laid with a comb and finally fixed with varnish.

The back of the head is modeled last - it is sprayed with varnish, combed, fixed. The final step is to fix the entire hairstyle and blow-dry. You should get such a crisp crust.

Gloss is an important element

A dancer's hairstyle must shine! Fortunately, manufacturers of styling products today offer many products for shining hair. But you need to use them wisely so that your hair shines and does not seem greasy.

Here are some professional tricks:

1. Glitter is sprayed on top.
2. You need to spray it from a long distance - from 30-40 centimeters.
3. Make sure that your hair does not fall directly under the stream of gloss.
4. It is possible to preserve the shine of the hairstyle for the entire duration of the performance only under one condition - after using it, in no case should you touch the hair.

Base for creating hairstyles

• Based on the above, it is clear that the basis for styling is precisely the boy's initial haircut, which must be beaten in one way or another.
• If on long hair girls can endlessly fantasize and create various hairstyles, then guys, as a rule, are more limited in their choice, but the requirements for them will be somewhat different.
• A boy, before making styling for sports dances, must first take care of the quality of the haircut.
• Regrown curls and fuzzy lines will be enemies in creating a beautiful masculine look, giving the effect of untidiness. Therefore, the young man must have a haircut before an important event.
• Before creating a styling, you should make sure that your hair is clean and your haircut is well-groomed - this is already a good start to work on the image.

If the hairstyle is done at home, then you need to prepare in advance and purchase all the tools to create it.

And ideally, you need to do test hairstyles in advance in order to fill your hand, decide on the styling method and not fuss, wasting time on the day of an important event.

In creating styling for ballroom dancing, combs of different calibers can be useful - these can be flat, of different frequencies, and brushing combs, with which you can add volume and give the curls the necessary direction and a slight curl, and others.

Experimenting in advance, you can more specifically decide on the necessary accessories.

Styling products are a very important detail for creating images.

Moreover, if in ballroom styling for girls and girls, the presence of hair-fixing agents should be made as invisible as possible (after all, otherwise the image of a girl may become overweight and age-related because of this), then boys do not have such a requirement.

Of course, a young man's hairstyle must be fresh and neat, but often a special chic is given to a boy's ballroom styling with the help of special means that give shine and a special greasy effect or the effect of wet strands.

So, in order to experiment with this, you need to purchase special gels, varnishes or mousses in advance.

The boy's hairstyle, in contrast to women's hairstyles, in which something can be disguised or hidden in a mass of voluminous curls, everything is in plain sight and the slightest elements and flaws are clearly visible in it.

Therefore, it is very important to do everything as carefully as possible, and the fixing means must be reliable and strong. Just for such cases, gels and varnishes with super strong hold are suitable.

Boy hairstyle for ballroom dancing: program

European program

Depending on the program in which the dancer is performing, different hairstyles for boys can be recommended. So, the European ballroom dancing program assumes that the partner will wear an Italian haircut, in which the back of the head and whiskey are cut very short, and not very, but lush hair remains on top.

Why do dancers choose this Italian minimalism?

This haircut gives the boy a masculine and serious look. But, more importantly, this way of cutting will accentuate the line of the back of the head, and this, in turn, will allow you to achieve a beautiful, even dance line - from the feet to the crown of the head.

Latin program

But for the Latin ballroom dancing program, the high back of the head is not so important, there are much less requirements for the dance lines. Therefore, when creating hairstyles for such dances for boys, you can cut the low and even elongated back of the head.

The main thing is that the hairstyle does not visually shorten the neck. You can lay the long back of the head with a kind of curl upward.
