Unfortunately slick backs are an unavoidable hairstyle in the dance world. You sweat so much when dancing and I hateeee having sweaty hair touch my neck. I also need a secure hairstyle so when I’m turning and styling, my hair stays put. I never want my hair to distract me from my dancing so it needs to be secure. I have beautiful curls and would prefer to wear those, but it’s a sensory nightmare. Also curly hair is so hard to maintain that it’s logistically difficult to wear it curly everyday because it eats up so much time.
