    Dancers with short hair?

    After 7 years as a redhead with long wavy hair-

    I cut it -short choppy layers and dyed it to my natural color- Chestnut Brown.

    It looks exactly like Lisa Rinna's hair.

    I love it- I can wear it sleek or curly or messy- And I can wash and fluff and it look great.

    I do not miss the hair color appointments every 2-3 weeks and my hair being dried out. Red is truly the hardest color to maintain for anyone considering it.

    Are there any dancers out there with short hair? I am less than a year into dancing and I notice long hair on all. Are many wearing wigs? Is long hair customary?

    I am having my first photos taken next month and I wondering what to do with my hair.

    Any advise would be welcomed- Thanks!

    Lisa Rinna hair sounds great!


    I have wayyy shorter hair than Shems,
    just longer layers in front and shorter nape like this:
    Short Blonce Haircut
    but I mostly wear 3/4 wigs for performance because customers think it looks "more like a real bellydancer".

    On haflas I´m natural(glasses and all)and many say that they love to see a "different" bellydancer.

    It also looks great with a pants bedlah IMO!;)

    I have two wonderful dance friends with very short hair. They're both gorgeous and don't wear wigs when they perform.

    One of my favorite golden era dancers Zeinat Olwi had short hair.

    I don't have any photos but I wear my own hair when performing. Hair pieces are so hot itchy and they irritate my scalp. If you're going caberet tousling your hair to the front using pomade to frame your face is really pretty. I also pin silk flowers above one of my ears (they match my costumes and I've glued/glittered the petal tips).

    My hair is somewhat similar to these two dancers. Good to know I can "get away with it"! I wear mine a bit more spikey though.
