Salsa Hairstyles

Salsa is a dance that mixes African and European styles together and is performed along with salsa music. Salsa originated in the Caribbean and is now popular worldwide. Salsa dancing is exciting and intense. Hairstyles for salsa dancing should be classy out-of-the-face, and complement the dance as well as the dancer's wardrobe.

Male salsa dancers primarily wear their hair short when salsa dancing. However, if a man has medium hair that cannot be pulled back, he should slick it back with gel or hair spray so that it will not fall into his eyes when dancing. Men who have long hair should slick it back with gel and put it into a ponytail. It is essential that the hair does not fall into the eyes when dancing. Salsa dancing is quite physical and intense, and it is not uncommon to become quite sweaty when dancing. The sweat may cause gel to run into the eyes, so men should be cautious of the amount of gel or hair spray they use---and take precautions so that their eyes do not get hair products in them.

Women who dance the salsa have to make quick movements and cannot afford to have their hair fall into their face, especially if they are competition dancers. If hair would fall into the face or eyes, it would cause a distraction that would lead to a dancing mishap. A female salsa dancer's hair should be pulled out of her eyes in a classy-performance-ready way. It should be classy and performance-ready because she is dancing in front of many people and is representing not only herself but the salsa dance culture. Acceptable salsa hairstyles include a bun, ponytail, braid, or french twist. A bun hairstyle is achieved by brushing the hair back and twisting it into a bun and securing it with an elastic band. A ponytail is easy to do; brush the hair back and tie a rubber band around it. To make it even classier, wrap a small section of hair around the rubber band and secure with a bobby pin. Braids are made by dividing the hair into three sections; then you take the outside sections and put each one over the middle section. You repeat this pattern until all the hair is braided. A french twist is achieved by pulling the hair back and twisting it up and then pinning in the ends. French twists are very classy, but many pins must be used for the look to stay in place. Overall, salsa hairstyles just need to be polished and styled out of the face so the dancer can see and perform the dance well.
