hair

My DD has puffy, short, kinky hair. It doesn't stay flat or lie down and I don't let her use gel. We have a meet in a few days and I'm freaking out. It's hard to find meet hairstyles for her hair texture as African Americans! I'm thinking cornrows I'm not sure. Please help ASAP!!! PS. She...

My daughter will begin competing soon, and I'm wondering about hair for competition. Her hair is short, but it can still get in the way. It's about ear level in the front, and it's shorter in the back. It's also very curly. It's far too short to tie up, especially at the back. Normally for...

I have my first competition of the season on Saturda!. My only problem is my hair. I cannot figure out a way to pin it up. It is a little shorter than chin length, and very wavy, with alot of short layers. This makes a PERFECT canvas for meet hair!!!Does anyone have any tips as to how to put...

DD is level 3 and has very long (past her waist), fine hair. And I am hair-challenged. She is adament that she does not want a bun, which is the only style I think might be appropriate for someone who has hair as long as hers. But I think a bun will probably also likely be a problem with the...

Okay so I've been looking for months and months now to try and find hair bows for our girls and all I seem to find is cheerleading bow which is not what I'm looking for! I see lots of you Americans seem to wear them, for example a lot to f the elites wear them and when I went to the U.S. This...

My dd has a huge knot in her hair. what we usually do is a bun because i just wrap the other hair around it, and it looks reasonable for practice. The problem is for competition, because we HAVE to bun it for our gym, and the way to do it doesn't work with her knot. we have brushed it and has...

My DD wakes up every morning with a complete rats nest that takes more time than she/we have to brush out. It isn't super long, but long enough to bun for meets. We keep it trimmed, condition it regularly, but it still practically dreads over night. School starts this week and with less...

I figure what the heck. As much as I hate the bun it stays nice. But end of year gym Olympics hair is more casual but up. If I told her a bun she would shoot me down. She hates it, knows its required for competition but volunteer, no how no way. My girl has very fine silky hair. It doesn't...

So I have an end of the year Acting showcase coming up (acting is my hobby outside of gymnastics) and my acting teacher wants me to have tight spiral curls in my hair. Slight problem, I have no idea how I'm supposed to do that! I know that some gymnasts compete with curls like that in their hair...

My first meet of the season is next weekend, but I don't know any good hair products (like gel or hairspray to keep the 'whispies' back). Any suggestions? :)

Apparently this season, my girls' hair is going to be the bane of my existence. Younger DD, with the long thin hair, is required to have a bun (no bangs, but only sometimes??). I asked advice here before about keeping her silky thin hair up in that dang bun- T&T is hard for keeping hair up! I...

Hello everyone! I have a meet tomorrow, and at my last one I tried a half up half down bun that I do at practice. (Like McKayla Maroney's.) But it came down after I started on floor. I have a backwards roll in my routine, so it can't be a ponytail. (My hair is long, thick, yet fine. It's...

My younger DDs first T&T meet is tomorrow. The HCs email says that all girls hair that is long enough must be in a bun. We have tried the last two practices to do "meet" hair, but her bun falls out no matter what I do. Her hair is about waist length and fine. We have tried nets, bobby pins (even...

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone could tell me where ( and how to ) find the hair forum for meets. Thanks xx

If the girl's have a back extension in their floor routine, what's the best hair style to go for? I was going to do a simple bun, but then realized that might not work out well, for obvious reasons. I'd really like a bun to work, because I'm not that skilled with braiding (at least not the...

I am searching for a great hair tie for my 7yo. She has really thick fine strait as can be below shoulder length hair and we can't keep her hair up for an entire practice. I have tried the silicone kind and the grippy kind but her ponytail still slips out. Also she wants a hair band to keep her...

Hello everyone! I've finally settled on a hairstyle for my team girls. It's an upside down french braid going up the back of the head and finishing in a normal, non-braided ballet style bun. This is a video tutorial of the style from Cute Girl Hairstyles on YouTube: . I like the idea of a ballet...

I've heard a variety if things can cause deductions for hair. (In face, touching the ground in a handstand, bangs etc.) Can someone clarify what the deductions are for hair?

Every time I go to practice, my hair falls out of my chosen style within an hour. I usually put it in a bun or a ponytail, but my hair is very long, so I can't put my hair in the typical gymnastics style. I have tried braids as well, but my hair is so long that if I'm on bars it will slap me in...

When ever I'm training my hair ALWAYS falls out! It's so annoying, I will do one tumble and it will fall out! That's how easily it falls out Any moms/dads/gymnasts know of any really good hair bands that will keep my hair in even a. Little bit longer during practice? Thanks
