How to do Hair & Makeup for Rhythmic Gymnastics Competitions

June 3, 2021

By popular demand, we have put together a guide on how to get the perfect look whether you are getting yourself or your daughter competition ready. 

HAIR

For Rhythmic Gymnastics competitions, gymnasts' hair must be tightly tied back in a clean bun. 

To achieve this hairstyle you will need:

  • 2x hair elastics
  • Hairspray
  • Hairbrush
  • Fine tooth comb
  • Packet of bobby pins (for loose hair)
  • Packet of open bun pins (for the bun)
  • Bun net (2x for thick hair)
  • Gel (optional) 

We recommend purchasing these products at your local Priceline or Chemist Warehouse. Lady Jayne is our recommended brand.

Please find the video below which explains exactly how to get the look!

Makeup

For makeup, we recommend a smokey eye with either brown, black or silvery colours with mascara. We also suggest a pink blush with red lipstick. 

Please find images below as a guide:
