Our girls are told to have their hair pulled back tight and gelled. It doesnt have to be anything fancy however as a coach I give my parents a sheet of pictures with hair ideas. Here are a couple from that sheet. I have never posted photos so we will see if they work?

Talking
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!

long hair
I would LOVE to see more pictures. The ones posted are great. My dd is 7 and will be competing for the first time in Nov. The problem - hair down to the middle of her behind. I cannot get it to stay up. May not matter much - she is trying to talk Dad into a shorter cut, but I will take any ideas for very long hair.

gymmomntc2e6 - my dd has the long hair as well... not sure what we would do for comp, but for practice I braid it and pull it through the rubberband and wrap it around. Sometimes one, sometimes 2

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Close up pictures of designs and styles to make the long hair shorter and look pretty too.

Lightbulb Long Hair Options
My dd gets her hair cut every few years and donates it to "Locks of Love", something you can think about for your dd with her haircut. The requirement length is 10" above the ponytail. DD will get her locks cut again in the spring. Her hair is now to the middle of her back, again! Time sure does fly.

If your dd is in girl scouts, she can do it for a level community outreach award...

How do you do those twisty rows? I can never get them to work. I usually just divide the front half of Gymabis hair then side part then part it on the diagonal and secure it with rubber bands, that way she gets no wispies. The back part goes in a pony since her hair is not very long. But I would really like to do those twisty rows....
