Cheerleading Accessories - It's All About The Bows!




Big Bows:

This weekend was an exciting time in downtown Detroit. Cobo Hall hosted JamFest 2008 and CZ was there to get the latest in hair trends teams had to offer. To our surprise the hair styles were all similar but it was all about the bow that made each team unique. Shocking colors, crazy patterns, sequin, glitter and some really cool placements. Here are a few of the team looks we liked the best:

Cheer Curls Hairpieces:

When your team looks uniform with matching hairstyles it gives them that extra feeling of unity when they take center stage. There are many great places online to find cheer curls hairpieces! With this hairpiece it is easier for all of the girls, regardless of hair color, length, or type, to all match effortlessly and without any permanent changes.


High Ponytails All Around:

The ponytail hairstyle has been around for quite a long time. Ponytails are friendly to all hair textures, curly and wavy ponytails being as chic as smooth and straight. A ponytail does not require the styling time and effort of most hair dos, and is the easiest way for anyone to style. A trendy look at JamFest 2008 was a very high ponytail accented with hair bows properly placed in front. A little “in-your-face attitude” was shown when it came to hairstyles this season but from the stage they really did shine.


How To Do a Proper Ponytail:

Putting your hair up in the ponytail for a competition is easy, and takes only a few minutes. The mass of your hair is gathered into a single chunk. You choose how high or low to gather it and be sure your hair is damp for sleek results. Once you have collected your hair together, you then secure it with a covered elastic hair tie making sure not to have any breakage when taken out. Secure your flyaways with bobby pins that blend with your natural hair color. Using hairspray is optional depending on what type of hair you have, but a little extra hold never hurts, and this is also a great way to make glitter stick for a little extra sparkle. A ponytail can be placed anywhere on your head, one side or the other… high or low… be creative!!

Here is a helpful guide of bow placement options for your team.
