    Off Topic Corkscrew hair pins?

    Has anyone used or seen these corkscrew hair pins. Apparently you sort of like screw them into competition buns, and they keep it in place really well. Do they work? Do they hurt? How do you take them out? They look like this.

    Anon Body hair

    I was just wondering what you guys do about body hair (especially underarms). Waxing is expensive and hurts a lot. Tried epilator but its scary and causes ingrowns and stuff. Heard way too many bad things about Nair and apparently shaving causes thicker, harder hair. Just lost what to do - i...

    Off Topic Are you allowed to dye your hair in competitive gymnastics?

    Hi, I was wondering if I'm allowed to have dyed hair in USAG gymnastics competitions? My hair right now is mid-back long, and is a dirty-blonde color and I've been wanting to cut it shoulder length and dye blonde streaks in the front of my hair. I'm hoping to start competing in the DP program...

    WAG Gym Hair HELP!!!

    Okay, so, I started doing my own hair for training when I was 10, and meets when I was 12, but after so many years of practice and so many techniques I have tried, I can never make it stay in. The past two meets, it's been okay, but training? Always comes out. So, gymnasts, gym parents, any one...

    WAG Long, thick hair bun recommendations?

    Hello experienced parents of girl gymnasts! My daughter is xcel bronze and is competing for the first time this season. Her coach prefers the girls to wear their hair in a high bun. My daughter has very long hair (waist-length) and it’s thick and heavy too. Any recommendation on a bun/hair...

    Parents Best strong hold hair products!

    I am looking for good strong hold hair gels and sprays. We have been unable to get my daughter's bun to stay in this season! Maybe it is the harder, faster tricks? It used to work... She is a 13 yo level 9. Recommendations are very welcome!

    WAG Hair color deductions?

    I am curious would there be any kind of a deduction if a gymnast were to add highlights such as red or blue to her normal hair color?

    Parents Non Natural Hair Color at Competitions

    DD has been asking to get the ends of her hair colored blue for a long time. The new gym has no rules against it so I'm wondering if judges will deduct for this at competitions. We might be able to hide most of it in her bun. I read the rules for attire in the program rules and policies for...

    MAG Rules on hair

    Anyone know where I can find these? (I did try searching, but couldn't find anything.) DS has been told that he needs a different haircut - which is fine, rules are rules - but we'd rather not make a mistake again. DH is just kind of annoyed because he just took DS to get the cut a week ago and...

    Hair and Deductions?

    ChalkBucket Hair Hi all, So I had some questions about hair, how to do it, and what the deductions are... keep in mind that my hair is long (to the middle of my back) and pretty thin. My gym does not require a certain style, just up and out of your face. My first question is how I should...

    Parents Hair removal for young gymnast?

    Hi everyone, hope someone can give me advice? My 10.5 dd has some under arm hair she wants removed. What would be the best way? I read waxing will almost eliminate hair over time esp if started young but worry it will hurt her alot. Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Off Topic A hairstyle for people with thick long hair!

    So i was messing around yesterday, and i thought of this neat hairstyle. I have very thick and pretty long hair, and nothing usually stays in. With that, i cant french braid or whatever, and my parents are even worse than me. This works great! So here is how you do it: 1. Obviously, brush your...

    WAG Would hair like this stay in well?

    Lucky me, my hair works very well in a bun. Long and blonde ;) My friend, however, has hair that will never stay in a bun, and she saw this. I thought I'd check with you guys. Will this stay in? Obviously, if she were to do it for a comp, a billion pins and hairspray, but even without that, do...

    Parents Gym hair with short thin hair

    My little gymnast had her first performance today. We did her special gym hair which is the only style we can do that keeps it out of her face. She has an evaluation for preteam this week and I'm not sure how to do her hair. Should we do her special hair or her every other week at gymnastics...

    Parents Short hair and meets

    My young daughter just started competing, and she also just had 8" cut off her hair. I had her stop at this length because they want her hair in a bun for competition. She really wants to go shorter- at or slightly above the hairline in the back, and longer on the sides in the front. How do you...

    Parents Hair again.....

    So we can finally be done with the bun. Daughter is wearing high pony. Which I love. Hair seems to whipping around a bit much. It's on the longer side. Any pony adaptions we can use to keep the hair from whipping around bit still look like a pony? Gotta be simple though. She is not a fancy...

    WAG Hairstyles for Short Hair

    I recently cut my hair into a short bob. However, I did not think about how this would affect my gymnastics. My hair is too long to leave up, especially for competitions, but doesn't fit in a ponytail. I haven't had a problem yet because I've missed practice for various reasons last week, but I...

    WAG Meet Hair?

    So I'm going to the Manhattan Classic in NY, and as you might know, it's a really big meet as well as my first travel meet! Usually, I just do a ponytail with a scrunchie because I have really long thick blonde hair (like in the picture) and otherwise it doesn't stay in. Any suggestions? I'd...
