My dd was a cheerleader last year, sometimes we use her "cheer curls" or "cheer glitz flipz". Matches her hair perfectly and compliments from parents and other coachs, they had no idea they were faux! Glitz flipz has either gold or silver strands running through the long ponytail. In the videos it looks stunning as her hair sparkles but without the mess of glitter spray! We saw some of the judges talking about her hair and smiling, that was a huge surprise.
I dont do hair very well, mine is very curly and dd's is straight/wavy but silky soft and fine. Tough to keep under control without hurting her by pulling hard into braid or a pony tail.
When we don't use the hair pieces, it's in 3 segments and secure in a pony tail at the base with the scrunchie to cover the band. We use colored bands to coordinate with her leotard of blues, white and black. Spray and clips keeps the wispies at bay.
Our gym is fairly lax as far as the girls hair goes, as long as it's up and pulled back, they aren't picky. I've seen other gyms where it depends on what level you are, how you wear your hair, a little too rigid for me!
