    Default Can you make it as a stripper with short hair?

    I have auditions soon and wanted to make as many styling changes as I could in preparation. I normally style my hair in a big bun, but I worry that I'll need hair in order to do the hair flip/hair fling thing while on stage.

    Here's a pic of how I generally style my hair. Did the attatchment show up? Sorry if there's already a thread on this, but I used the search function and went through more than a few pages with no related threads. Thanks in advance for any replies.

    I really have no desire to wear a wig or get a weave, but I will if necessary.

    Looks fine to me! There's actually a girl at my club that wears her hair like that and I've never seen it be an issue for her

    It really really depends on the look and your attitude your going for. A know a asian chick at work who has really short black hair(pixie cut) but its so perfect for her. She has lots of tattoos and rocks gothish makeup so it really suits her and appeals to that market looking for alternativew girls. Other girls had short hair and when they went long it increased their earnings. Your trying to appeal to men and the vast majority love long hair on a woman. I think you should audition with lon g hair and when you get the jobs try going short and see if there is a diffrence in earnings.
    On Top.

    Thanks for the advice and the encouragement, ladies. Your responses are GREATLY appreciated.

    I'm not sure I've figured out exactly what look I'm going for yet, but hopefully it'll come to me quickly

    Don't worry about not being able to do hair flips on stage - there's far better moves you can do up there to appeal to customers, namely making eye contact with them. If you like your short hair and feel comfortable and sexy with it (as you should!) then rock it in the club. Your confidence with short hair will make you more money than you feeling uncomfortable and awkward in a wig. There are plenty of dudes who dig short hair!

    Thank you Shanna....
    I think I'll try out both, but I have a strong feeling I'll stick with short, because like you said-confidence is the key.

    I worked with a girl who shaved her head.And she made good money.Personally I think long hair is more feminine and sexy but it also depends what suits your face and what style you feel most confident

    To answer your question: YES.


    For you, i_nspiration, I suggest looking into accessories.... you can wear them to the side, or in the back of your hair. A flower in your hair may become your trade mark!

    I have short hair, longer on one side kinda aline-y only just past my ears.. some guys like it other prefer long flow hair but I've heard many times " like girls with shorter styles" I also wear glasses so i often get the naughty librarian comment *rolls eyes*. Lol our club also has a few other girls with shorter hair one has a style like mine only shorter and curly another beautiful African American girl with a shaved head and she's a big money maker. Its all about how your sex appeal show, hair is just an acessory, you can definitely play up short hair with cute clips and such.

    Eh. It's different because youre black. Black girls dont usually make money with their natural hair.
    At Black clubs they want girls from rap videos. Big bootys n long hair. At white clubs they want black girls that look white. Big boobs n long hair.
    I love your hair, it's really cute but I don't think it has money making potential.

    In every club I've worked black girls with their real hair didnt do too well. #stripclubpolitics

    These are all so cute! I just cut my hair pretty short and have been playing around with finding ways to clip it back and put accessories in it to make it cute.
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    ^^^ OP, personally I love your hairstyle, but I do think it depends on where you work & how you jazz up your look.

    I personally did the BC two months ago (woo hoo), and OTC I rock my natural TWA with the utmost confidence, but I haven't tried it ITC yet O_o Been throwing on wigs.

    However, there are two girls with fades at my club who do very well, and another thin model type chick who sometimes rocks her TWA and is very pretty & does very well also - I work in a black club. Where I work guys really don't care about hair length, but I know that isn't the case everywhere.

    I may try to rock my natural look in the near future & see what happens! But like others have stated, do what feels comfy for you & will allow you to exude the most confidence...truly what it all boils down to

    This is the unfortunate truth. Sure, some girls can make it with short natural hair, and I'm sure someone will come chime in with a comment that there's a black girl that works at their club who only has one string of hair and it's only 2 and a half inches long and she's a top earner every single night and blahhhh blahhhh blahhhh .... BUT! The fact of the matter is... overall, men are attracted to beautiful-long-flowing-disney princess-looking-ass hair.

    I have natural hair too, but in the club I rock a straight, black 22" weave. It does me well.

    OTC I get so many compliments on my natural hair from men of all races that sometimes I considering wearing it out to work. But then, I realize that if I do that, the customers are gonna want to touch it. The thought grosses me out, and that is honestly why I will never do it. lol So keep that in mind.

    But yea ur hair's gorgeous and it's something that you can love and cherish otc. Ex. I use dermablend at work to cover a huge tat I LOVE. We go to work for $$$$ not to show off our awesome personal style
    And honestly I like putting on my "stripper uniform" (weave, buckets of makeup, lashes, nails) because I dont feel like im giving MYSELF to random guys. My tat is for ME not them. Your hair is for YOU.
    They get my stripper representative, and I get to go home, be myself, and enjoy the cash they paid my representative

    Deaded @ one string of hair...omg.....
    and you're right about the touching. People just randomly WITHOUT ASKING touch my hair in public already.

    I'm already auditioning with long hair, since I already got the install and the audition is tomorrow.

    And TY for your input and for the extra food for thought.

    I had short hair for a long time and while I did decently my earnings went up exponentially once my hair grew out. Only a select .0001% can rock short hair AND make money. If you think you can, go for it. I can't say for sure if the money gods will smile on you or not. But also prepare for the worst. Pick out a couple of wigs just in case.

    I have known quite a few girls that wore their hair short or put it up while they danced. They still banked. It is all about attitude if you ask me. I think as long as your attitude is good and you have fun with it, you will make money.
