Hair & Makeup

Ballroom requires a particular look, one very different from your day-to-day look! Here’s some tutorials to help guide you to your ballroom look. Make sure to try it out on your own before your big day, and reach out to another member if you need help.

For individuals with super short hair, hair should be slicked back and neatly groomed.

Extra Tips:

• For hair, generally you section out a piece of the front for styling and then use the rest of the hair to form the ponytail that eventually becomes the bun. For the front styling, you can also try braiding it and then securing it to the back. It does not have to go over both sides either, it typically goes to your right side.
