Pageant Hair Styles
If you’re planning on entering pageants, you’ll need to carefully consider your hair style. This is especially important with glitz pageants. In most natural pageants, wigs and hair pieces aren’t allowed, but you’ll still need to make sure the hair is neat and attractive. In any type of pageants, the hair needs to be “off the face.” In other words, you don’t want the hair covering up the contestant’s face.
Hair Styles for Glitz Pageants
Girls in glitz pageants usually wear the “big hair-dos” that are often associated with beauty pageants. This is especially true in the beauty portion of the pageants. To achieve these pageant hair styles, the contestants wear hairpieces, wigs, or wiglets, and sometimes a combination of these might be used. The extravagant styles seen in glitz pageants are almost always done by professional pageant hair stylists. Unless you’re experienced with styling hair and wigs, don’t attempt this on your own. Most glitz pageants have several pageant hair stylists on hand to do the job for you. You’ll need to make an appointment beforehand.
Most pageants have more than the beauty category. They might also have a swimwear portion, an outfit of choice portion, and/or other categories that you can enter. If you’re entering more than the beauty portion of the pageant, you’ll probably want to change hair styles for each. The beauty walk is almost always first, so the “big hair” can be changed to other hair styles for different competitions.
