Hair Tips!

Everyone has different types of hair. That's part of what makes life exciting. We would all be boring if we were the same. The main thing about hair is that you must make sure that you are presentable. It depends on what style of show/performance you are doing as to what hair style you are going to use.

A bun, pony tail, or a braid are the simplist styles. Make sure you use hair spray to make your heads slick and shiney AFTER you finish your style. If you can use a curling iron, just drag it across your hair (when the iron is hot and you have just sprayed your hair with hair spray) like a comb. This will help LOCK in the style and give you that shiney look. Be careful not to burn yourself OF COURSE.

Don't forget, hair nets are not just for the ladies in the cafeteria. Just make sure that you use the color that is most close to you hair color. They are very cheap and reusable if you are careful. You can get them at most grocery stores in the beauty section. They can help when you are using a bun and sometimes you need to use more than one.

When you use hair pins, bobby pins, or rubber bands, make sure that they can't be seen from the audience. Nothing is worse than someone in a beautiful outfit with a neon lime green scrunchie in their hair. Try to stay away from clips and barrettes. They can scratch yourself as well as others and they usually can be seen from a distance as well.

There is a fine line between a controlled wild hair style and just a plain rat's nest. You must work with your hair. Even when you are going for a wild look, there has to be some work and thought in it. Just make sure you are acheiving the look your instructor is after before you go in front of an audience. The audience is RARELY kind and they NEVER forget.

There are plenty of great new products on the market to use, but just remember, you are going to sweat: so simple is the best. There are products for all hair types. Just ask your Hair Designer.

If you have "tendrils" (you know, those cute curlies that hang on your temples), try puting them in a curl that is held by a bobby pin on your head. Don't take them out until its time to perform. That way, the curl can't come out.

You know your own hair and how it behaves....just make sure it behaves with manners in public.
