Question: Help short hair!.!.!.ballet!?
I'm writing a story and the main character has like a pixie hair cut but shes in a dance school!. Like she does ballet, jazz, and modern!. And I'm wondering what should happen since she has short hair!. In ballet you need to do a bun!.!.!.

I mean Do they have to wear buns!.!.I remmeber in middle school a girl in my class had to wear a fake bun piece!.!.!.(cause her hair was layered) But I don't want that lol

will that part in my story seem unrealistic if she just pulls hair back with bobby pins!? Sibnce you know how dance programs are strict!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well, I take ballet and some girls in my class have short hair so they put on a headband!. That is because the purpose of buns is to pull the hair out of your face while dancing!. So just say shes wearing a headband and any stray hairs are pulled back in bobby pinsWww@QuestionHome@Com

For class, she may just pin the front of her hair back, so no stray hairs get in her face, or if its short enough that it's not a problem, she can go as is!. If there's a serious performance with classical ballet, most likely with tutus, then she might wear a fake bun!. Other wise for a contemporary ballet or modern jazz, her hair would be fine as is, no pins/bun!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In my ballet school( very strict) anyone with short hair has to pin it back!, I guess u cud use a head band but then think her hair wud look crazy I think u shud just pin, no fake hair, unless it was a professional performaceWww@QuestionHome@Com
