Putting a child’s hair into a “bun”
Putting up a bun isn't really as bad as you think! With a bit of
practice, a bun can be put up in under 2 minutes (assuming your child
stands still for long enough!)
It's best to have a few practice goes with your child, and send them to
their class with your best effort. That way you can see if the bun will
stand the pace of a lively youngster and a dance class!
All the things that you will need for your bun can be bought from Boots, Tesco, Asda, Superdrug etc, or from the the studios. We do have a selection of hair accessories for those emergencies!
Please have the following to hand when putting up a “bun”
-
Hair Pins (same colour as child’s hair)
-
Hair grips (same colour as child’s hair)
-
Hair Gel &/or Hair Mousse (Firm/Strong Hold)
-
Laquer (Firm/Strong hold)Bobbles (to hold the hair in a pony tail)
-
A good comb and a brush
-
Hair nets (Sleeping nets) to match the colour of the child’s hair.
-
A scrunchie to match your child's leotard
This is my one pet hate:-
Please do not use pink crochetted
buns nets FOR EXAMS.
Right, so now you are set, GOOD LUCK!
A bun is best put up when the hair is ready for a wash.
-
Dampen the hair. Make sure the fringe is damp too.
-
Using the HAIR GEL/MOUSSE make sure a generous amount is rubbed into ALL the hair. Especially around the fringe (go right up to the roots)
-
Using the brush or comb, comb the hair from the fringe to the back of the head and gather in one hand to form a pony tail.
-
Using the BOBBLE, twist round the pony tail to secure in place.
-
Comb the ponytail to smooth it.
-
Twist the pony tail round. (Like wringing out washing). When the hair is sufficiently twisted, it will start to want to coil round on itself. At this point start to coil it around the base of the ponytail.
-
Using the HAIR PINS, secure the twisted strand in place until the bun is formed.
-
Don’t worry if there are still bits of hair poking out!
-
Using the HAIR NET place over the bun, and twist and cover the bun as many times as necessary to use the whole hair net.
-
Any stray hair can be gripped into place using the HAIR GRIPS.
-
If the fringe is not staying in place, use some more GEL and grip.
-
Spray hair laquer over the whole head and leave to set.
-
Place the scrunchie over the bun to hide the grips and to hold those last little bits of stray hair in place.
-
Well done! After your 6th attempt you will be an expert!
When coming to the dance school, bring ALL of the hair accessories as emergency hair dressing may be required!
Please ensure that your child’s hair is done before you come as it cannot be guaranteed that someone can do their hair for you.
If their hair is not correct, then it will affect their marks. Presentation and appearance are very important.
As a recognised examination centre, we are constantly being assessed on our organisation, appearance and discipline. Please try to support your child and their teachers with imparting the discipline required of a centre of excellence such Dance Doctors Studios.
Thank you
Karen Oates
Principal
