Creating the Perfect Ballet Bun

Your dance journey starts with a slick bun! Here is how we recommend you stylize your hair for class.

Items needed:

1. Hair pony/ elastic

2. Spray Gel

3. Hairspray

4. Open bobby pins

5. Hair net the same colour tone as hair

6. Brush

7. Comb

Method:

• Brush all tangles in hair

• Saturate hair with spray gel

• Comb the hair back into a tight ponytail (no bangs allowed, bring all of the hair back)

• Make sure there are NO wispy pieces of hair sticking out. More gel may be needed

• Twist the ponytail in a circle and bobby pin the end underneath

• Take the hair net and twist over the bun, fold it as many times needed to stay tight

• Press the bun into the head and bobby pin all around the bun to secure

• Have student shake their head to ensure the bun is in place and will not come out when dancing

• Hairspray their entire head to secure all aspects of the bun and head

• Extra pins may be required to hold very short pieces into place
