All 3-4yr old classes will be wearing their hair in a high bun. All other classes (ages 5yrs and above), will wear their hair in a low bun with a middle part. See video tutorials below!

HAIR INSTRUCTIONS
It is easiest to manage hair that is damp and has gel worked through it before trying to secure back into a bun. Never try to put dry hair up in a bun – especially with children with fine hair. Whether trying to secure bangs back or putting up to a ponytail or braids, always work with dampened hair that has a sticky gel worked through before combing back.
1) Bangs off the face: ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE BANGS OFF THE FACE, regardless of the hairstyle. This is very important onstage and will require that you use the damp hair/wet gel method described above for short or long hair to get the bangs back. Bobby pins may be necessary; however, if the hair is wet and gel applied, it will help to keep it sufficiently off the forehead. The balance of hair that is down does not need the same application and may hang loosely.
2) Hair in a Bun: On very damp hair, thoroughly apply a thick gel to slick the hair and make it workable. After applying gel and with hair still damp, part the hair in the center, brush back and secure with hair elastic into a ponytail at the nape of the neck. (3-4yr Dancers: After applying gel and with hair still damp, brush back and up and secure with hair elastic into a ponytail at the back crown of the head.) Then, depending upon the length of the hair, twist in a circle around the elastic and secure all loose ends with bobby pins until there are no loose or unsecured areas of the bun. You may need more bobby pins for areas above ears or at the nape of the neck. Apply the headpiece or hat as instructed by the teacher. A hair net can help keep small pieces of hair from falling out of the bun.
THE SECRET: Work on very damp hair that is wet with gel. Then, let the hair dry after it has been put into the bun. Hairspray may be necessary even if enough gel has been applied.
