Decisions, decisions.
Hair style and hair do’s in the show ring should help complete your
overall look while handling your dog, or even judging. With all ages competing in show rings
and all the styles of hair choices are endless. But what’s appropriate?
Short Hair Styles
From chic pixie cuts to classy & elegant bobs. These cuts can be very cute and
professional in the ring because they almost always have to be styled daily to
look best. Short hair stays off the
face or can stay off the face by tucking behind an ear or secured by a bobby pin.
Medium Length Hair Styles
Shoulder length styles can be the most challenging for ring
presence in my opinion. It’s a
battle between wanting your hair to be nicely styled and can actually tying it
up in a pony tail. Pulling back
the top part or a portion of medium length hair also helps to keep it off your
face and in the way while setting up dogs.
Long Hair Styles
New trend are ponytail buns, and I LOVE them! Cannot wait for my hair to be long
enough to rock that style again.
Sleek ponytails, whether high or low, look fantastic and are
timeless. French braids and other
braids are also on trend, just avoid the messy look that allows for loose
strands to get in your face or windblown.
Just remember you’re at a dog show and not going out. Running, bending over and being exposed
to different weather can have a impact on the tidiness of your hair and neat
hair helps complete the overall look of presenting your dog.
