How To: Make a Ballet Bun

Hello Dancers!

With recitals right around the corner, I thought it would be a great idea to discuss how to get that perfect ballet bun in your hair! I'll give you some of my tips and links to other sites for ideas. Remember, everyone's hair is a little bit different - if you have curly hair you'll probably put your hair up differently then if you had straight hair.

1.) Wet or hairspray hair and comb through.

2.) Put hair in a ponytail (helpful especially if you have longer hair!)

3.) Twist ponytail around elastic and pin bun into place.

4.) Secure by wrapping a hair net around 2 or 3 times.

Then, just hairspray any frizzy pieces flat to your head, and you're ready to go! For more tips, check out Beginner Ballerina blog and pictures from the Arizona Ballet Theater.
