#6 Essentials for a Young Ballerina

6. Hairpins and Hairnets for Ballerina Buns

Hairpins and nets are essential for keeping a young ballerina’s hair neatly secured in a bun, minimizing distractions during practice. Tying hair in a neat bun is needed for that minimal interference in class while they learn the various turns and drills they will go through. Adding some extra hairpins and hairnets to the young ballerina’s ballet bag will help maintain the perfect look they need. The key to a good bun is to make sure it’s tight and secure, as well as to practice making it. With a bit of practice and help, the young ballerina will be able to create a neat and tidy bun in no time.

A neat ballet bun is a must for class, but a ponytail works just as well for shorter hair. The young ballerina should also avoid wearing any accessories like a watch, earrings or necklace in the class that may interfere with dancing.
