The best hairstyles for gymnasts are high ponytails or high buns. Being a gymnast requires a certain amount of professionalism and following these rules make the most professional looking gymnast possible, also some gyms/meets have certain parameters for gymnasts hair. So follow these rules to look professional and stay out of trouble:
-Ponytail sits at the crown of head so ponytail can be seen if looking gymnast head on.
-Ponytail above shoulders. If hair is too long, curls or a bun are desirable.
-Bangs out of face. If they need to be clipped up, have clips match hair or leotard. Mismatching clips looks unprofessional.
-Wear a scrunchie or bow that matches leotard. Plain rubberbands are just that, plain.
Here are some acceptable looks!
