Competitive Ballroom Swirls

Clean slick back into a bun is good, but swirls are so much better!

Besides, when you lift them up a little at the front, they make you a look taller, which is, of course, important in standard. Rachel Macintosh, whom we have met before in our previous posts on competitive ballroom makeup and hairstyles, does a pretty good job demonstrating and explaining what and how she does her swirls (Even though the video is in “Portrait”, lol).

1. Slick the hair back with the ceramic hair brush.(Not forgetting to leave a little bit of hair at the front for the swirls.)
2. Ponytail it!
3. Bun it!
4. Swirls: Separate the front hair > Twist > Elevate > Place to Your Liking > Pin
5. Have fun creating awesome swirl web on your head
6. Finish up with LOOOTS of Hairspray!

Good Luck at your Competition!
