Question about how my daughter should have her hair cut for ballet

My 4 yr old is in ballet. Her hair is still growing out after my 5 yr old decided to cut it herself. Today I put it up in a bun and she is very adamant about having her hair pulled back in a tight bun or ponytail for that matter. She said she wanted her hair short so she won't have to put it in a bun. My question now is what kind of haircut should I have the stylist do for her? Her hair is still going to have to be slicked back...but with short hair it won't have to have a bun. Here is a pic of the bun ( I am no stylist whatso ever) I did today that she was so mad about.

well I would suggest a long bob if you really want to cut it if you put any kind of layers in it it will be hard to slick back the layers will poke out. Have you tried parting it down the middle for forhead to nape and put it in pigtales then wrap it into cute little buns on the side. you can use gel to slick down any loose ends.

Well if I was you I would encourage her to keep her hair at the length that it is now and after the dance make a special day to get her hair cut the way she wants it...when you go to the salon look through some kid hairstyle books and make it fun. Little girls are so much fun to work with. I love the style that is stacked in the back and little longer in the front just below the chin. Have fun and make it fun.. take pictures of her getting her hair cut. If you make it a special day she wont want to cut it before the dance....
