Not all hair type are the same, so why should all ballet buns be the same? Find the perfect ballet bun for you!
Long Hair: your hair is ideal for the classic ballet bun!
You Need: hair bands, water spray bottle, hair pins, bun net, comb or brush, hair spray.
*If your hair is curly or wavy, you may want to dampen your hair with a spray bottle filled with water. (see photo below)
-If you have thinner or stright hair, comb through to remove knots. If you have curly or wavy hair, you may prefer a brush.
-Gather your hair neatly into a pony tail, secure with a hair band the same color of your hair.
-Twist your pony tail to make a rope. (see photo below)
-Coil rope around to form bun. (see photo below)
-Tuck end of rope under bun.
-Use hair pins to secure bun in place.
*If your hair is think or curly, use wider bobby pins. If it is straight or thin, use leaner bobby pins.
-Spray over bun and whole head. Have someone else do this for you and cover your eyes. (see photo below)
-Cover bun in a bun net and wrap around several times if needed.
*If your bun sticks out too far, take out bobby pins and cover with bun net first, then squish it closer to the head and re-pin it over the net.
-Add any accesories if wanted :)
Medium Hair: If your hair is not long enough to coil around into a bun but long enough to make a pony-tail, your hair is medium length!
You Need: hair bands, water spray bottle, hair pins, bun net, comb or brush, hair spray.
*If your hair is curly or wavy, you may want to dampen your hair with a spray bottle filled with water. (see photo below)
-If you have thinner or stright hair, comb through to remove knots. If you have curly or wavy hair, you may prefer a brush.
-Gather your hair neatly into a pony tail, secure with a hair band the same color of your hair.
You have TWO options from here...
If your class is less strict, just go with the short ponytail. But if your teacher is more strict, the follow the rest of the steps.
-From the center of the pony, push your hair back against your head and pin into place. The end result shoul be a circle of hair with it's center as your pony. (see my sorry excuse for a photo below)
- Secure with hairspray, then wrap your bun net several times around your "bun".
-Add any accessories if wanted :)
Short Hair If you can't put your hair up in a ponytail, you have short hair!
You Need: hair bands, water spray bottle, hair pins, bun net, comb or brush, hair spray.
*If your hair is curly or wavy, you may want to dampen your hair with a spray bottle filled with water. (see photo below)
-If you have thinner or stright hair, comb through to remove knots. If you have curly or wavy hair, you may prefer a brush.
-Get hair out of your face with a headband, a soft headband is preferable for dance. (see photo below)
-Pin back strays with hair pins & apply hairspray to keep in place.
-Apply accessories if wanted :)
