Whether your dancer has a ponytail, bangs or bobbed style hair, putting their hair into a neat ballet bun is a crucial skill that will help them in ballet class and during performances. Having hair that is up and away from their face helps to ensure that they can follow the instructor and focus on dancing. A ballet bun might seem complicated or intimidating at first, but with practice and the right tools, it’s easy to achieve.
To start off, it’s important to make sure your dancer’s hair is free of tangles and knots. This is done by running a brush or comb through it several times, and then by lightly dampening it with water. This is done to prevent flyaways and ensure that the bun looks smooth and clean.
Once the hair is ready, you’ll need to create a tight coil around it using the elastic band and then pinning the hair in place with hair pins. It’s a good idea to use a large amount of hair pins to ensure that the bun stays secure and in place for longer while your dancer is performing.
Depending on your dancer’s hair texture, you might want to consider adding in a hair net. This is especially helpful if your dancer has naturally curly or frizzy hair and it can be used to keep the bun looking sleek and polished for performances. Lastly, you may want to add in a scrunchie, hair clips or a decorative wool bow to complete their look.
