How to create a bun that will stay in for an entire performance:
1.Start with damp hair or wet the crown and scalp area of the hair.
2.Squirt a quarter size amount of hair gel/mousse into your palm or spray hair lightly with hairspray and work this into the hair on the head as well. (It is not necessary to run the gel through the length of the hair.)
3.Brush the hair into a high, slicked-back ponytail. Hairspray any wisps that may not be long enough to catch in the ponytail. Leave bangs or a small portion of the front out only if you are on the older teams.
3.5. Little Teams only: If you use the fake hair curly peice disregard and follow 4-8. If you curl your hair, use the foam rollers or little hot rollers and keep in for at least 2 hours...we suggest foam rollers over night! Your curls will come out great! :o)
4.Wrap the ponytail around the elastic to create your bun. Use a hairnet (required) to secure the bun into place by wrapping it around, pulling it tight on one end, twisting it once, then continuing the wrapping and twisting until the entire hairnet has been used.
5. !Only for the older teams! Twist the front piece/bangs and poof or french braid it at the front of the bun. Secure it with a clip.(This depends on what team you are on and what coach prefers)
6.Secure the hairnet and bun to head with hairpins (not bobby pins) working all around the bun until it does not move. Pins should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch apart from one another.
7.Hairspray-essential for a good holding hairdo- bun and CLIP BACK any strands of hair not slicked to head. !No whispies!, please.
8.Put hairpieces in hair and fasten with bobby pins that match hair color. This is important. The hairpiece must be fastened. The above instructions will give you a nice, professional-looking bun and should ensure that hair, scrunchees and hairpieces don't fall out during performance!
