Put In Cheer Curls

Cheer hairstyles must be able to withstand all of the rigors of cheerleading.

Cheerleading is all about cooperation and coming together as a team, so looking the part is crucial to the overall effect of a performance. If your squad is already wearing a uniform, you can easily make each member look even more put-together by having each person wear the same hairstyle. Cheer curls are a simple hairpiece that attaches to the pony to create the appearance of a full pony of tidy, presentable curls. The curls are easy to put in and won't become messy even when you are flying or doing flips during a routine.

Instructions

1. Comb through your hair with a brush to remove any tangles and pull the hair back into a ponytail holder. Secure your pony where you want the curls to be situated when you are finished.

2. Twist the length of your hair around the ponytail holder to make a tight bun. Secure the bun with a second ponytail holder and fix down loose strands with bobby pins.

3. Locate the upper and lower combs inside the cheer curls and grasp the lower one. Push the lower comb up into your hair between the ponytail holders and your scalp on the underside of your bun. The hair attached to the lower comb should hang down below your bun.

4. Pull the hairpiece up around the bun so all of your hair is contained within the hair piece netting. Push the upper comb down into your hair between the ponies and your scalp until it is secure. The curls should be laying on top of your bun and covering all of your hair.

5. Pull the drawstrings tight and tie them around the base of the cheer curls and your bun. If the strings are not installed yet, just pass them through the loops around the inside of the hairpiece at your bun. Tuck the ends of the drawstrings inside the hairpiece so they can't be seen.

6. Tug the cheer curls lightly to make sure they are positioned well. Use bobby pins to secure the hair piece tightly against your head.
