A big part of ballet class is coming prepared, and that means having a neat bun. Using the correct tools when doing your child’s hair can make all the difference.
- The Ponytail! You will need: Water, hair elastic, bobbly pins & (possibly) clips. Water is key to making a secure & nice looking ponytail, have a spray bottle on hand! After making your ponytail, use the bobby pins & clips to perfect it.
- The Bun! You will need: Hairpins & hairnet. Having the right kind of hairpins makes all the difference, and don’t hold back, use a lot of them! The hair net is perhaps the most important part! Don’t worry if your bun doesn’t look too great, place the hairnet over it, wrap it around several times, and your bun will look a lot better. And remember…pin it in place!
- Make it Last: You will need: Hairspray. Finish your masterpiece by setting it in place with a little hairspray.
*For hair that’s too short for a bun or ponytail, we recommend pigtails. If it’s too short for pigtails, use a headband or clips to keep the hair away from the face.
