Your first heat of the day is at 9 A.M. Not too bad, right? There\u2019s just one thing. You\u2019ll also be spending over an hour getting your hair done alone this morning. Don\u2019t believe us? Ask this hairdo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s right. This is how ever woman\u2019s head looks at any given ballroom competition.So half a can of hairspray, perhaps a hundred bobby pins, and a hairpiece later, your hair is done for the competition. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what about makeup? Ballroom makeup, as you might&#8217;ve guessed from the hair, is another ordeal in itself. With luck, hair and makeup will happen at the same time. However, you won\u2019t be the only one competing!

When a dancer is being judged in competition, they\u2019re being judged not only on their technical skills, but also on their overall presentation. If your dress doesn\u2019t fit well, they\u2019ll know it. If your hair is sending bobby pins flying every time you spin, they\u2019ll see it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that there is no reason to skip this process, because it is one of the least expensive parts of the process of competing. Not to mention it is one of the most fun parts of the day! You\u2019ll channel your inner dance Goddess the second you see your completed competition look.
