Hi, I was wondering if anyone has photos of bun-wigs on older dancers. The one above is on a much younger dancer (www.irishdancewear.net Style 7)...

I'm beginning a project that compares ballet/Irish and I think a wig like this is the way to go, over the full.

Thanks!

Try to look for pictures of Ciara Sexton - world champ. I always remember her wearing a bun and it suits her just sooo well. Adding a link to one of her photos www.worldirishdancing.com . . .

ciara is like the advocate for bun wigs, so she'll be one to look at (shes a member on here, if you want to ask her permission)
but i sometimes wear one (im 17)..

ciara's wig is actually named after her

I'm 17 and I wear one as well. I think it looks quite sophisticated on the right dancers. I used to be the only one in my competitions who wore one, and I think it make me stand out and gave me a little more of an edge. I've just moved up and now it's just my best friend and I that wear them (my school goes with bun wigs for teams, so a handful of our dancers wear them for solos too).

It can depend on the bun wig style combined with the shape of your head, etc. On some dancers, I think they just don't look right.

Like on my head. I wanted to wear one but unfortunately it looks like someone has fixed a cauliflower on top of it. It could still be the style, hope a few more people are going to post pictures.

Clodagh Roper wears a bun wig. Girls 14-15

Ciara Sexton looks great in her bun wig as everyone says. Fair play to her for not being like other dancers with a 2 tonne wig on their heads lol she carries it off beatuifully. I thinks its great theres a wig in her honour lol ! X

I used to wear a bun wig...that's me in the picture.



But I maintain that Ciara is the best looking Irish dancer in a bun wig.

I wear a bun wig - 021

^^ hahah abbey I was so going to post this picture of you too!! I'm glad you already did it though...I wear the exact same wig, only a different color (bayley from celtic curls) if you would like a picture of it as well I can post it, but as I said it's the same wig.

Thanks so much for all the help guys! These photos are exactly what I needed.

Jessica-I would like to see a picture of you please. NOW! hahahahahaha

I am 21 and I have only ever worn a bun wig, mostly because I look ridiculous in a full wig. I was the only girl with a tradition bun wig at the Oireachtas, another girl had one of the curly pony tail things, and I am the only one that I have seen in my Prelim group. I do a big poof and then attach the wig to my head. It looks very nice if I do say so myself. =)

I don't want to post my picture on the internet, but I can send it if you'd like, pm me.

I'm looking at getting a bun wig. Im 16 and wondering what the name and where you got yours from so I can make sure I get the right size etc.

I think it suits some people, but not others.

Here's some pics where older dancers can pull it off:

My daughter either wears a bun wig or her hair down.

Heres my bun wig.

I think the bun wigs are so so nice and some of the dancers look stunning with the. I'm a Highland dancer so maybe thats why i prefer the buns.
