Hair Flipping Do’s and Don’ts

Countdown to Valentine’s Day – Part Three

Just two more weeks until Valentine’s Day, so I’m sticking with my series on making the world safe for sexy dancing.

This week, it’s all about the hair.

Hair has always been considered super sexy – just look at the Goddess of Love’s gorgeous hair in these masterpieces – Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, and (my personal favorite; be sure to click to enlarge) Bouguereau’s The Birth of Venus.

Hair is the seductive accessory we always have with us – and who among us hasn’t used a well-timed hair flip to get some hottie’s attention?

Still, just because we know hair is sexy doesn’t mean we know how to make use of it when we’re dancing.

Use This Power Only for Good

A hair flip, like any sexy use of hair, casts a very potent spell. When used correctly, few things are as sensually inviting. On the other hand, there are few things as annoying as watching someone overuse the hair flip in an effort to capture her beau’s attention.

So, what exactly are the do’s and don’ts? After all, you want your hair to be enticing, not … I can’t resist the pun … flippant. (Forgive me!)

The Do’s of Hair Flipping

1. DO emphasize the sensuality of your hair. Play with your curls. Let your straight locks brush against your skin. The key here is to enjoy touching your hair – because that’s a lot like touching yourself, which works so well in sexy dancing.
2. DO lift your hair up and let it fall gently down again. Make it even sexier by gently moving your head back and forth as your hair tumbles down. This gives the impression of sensual reveling in the silky delights of your hair.
3. DO let your hair fall like a veil over your face and sexily flip it back. This maneuver is all about the tease. Do it while bending over, do it while sitting with your legs saucily crossed, do it whenever you want to add an extra dash of mystery to your dancing.

The Don’ts of Hair Flipping

1. DON’T confuse constant hair flipping with dancing. A little hair flipping goes a long way; don’t overdo it. Think of it as an accent step, rather than as a primary dance move.
2. DON’T shake your hair with the beat. You are not at a jam session (well, probably you aren’t). The idea is to show off the sensuality of your hair, not to demonstrate your ability to rock out with a righteous head bob.
3. DON’T spray your hair until it looks like a helmet. Nothing kills sensuality faster than plasticene hair. If your hair looks like it could survive a night in a wind tunnel, there’s no way to dance with it. Instead, go for a softer look emphasizing movement and texture.
