- A how to guide to put your hair up for synchronized swimming competition. How do synchronized swimmers get their hair to stay up in the water? Now we know. Knox gelatin! Get smooth, clear, perfect knox without all the icky clumps.
And I thought my ballet bun was time consuming.....
As a black woman, this was pure nightmare fuel.
Right!!
Not as much as that chlorine. This saved me so much
Love the can look for
Oh hell nah it looks like you have plastic hair or you glued it on lol but how does it feel hard like can it break off how do you wash it off I’m so interested lmao
Baby Girl Nat you have to wash it off with hot water
it may look ugly on land but that’s what you have to do to get it to stay in the water
I wash it out wish hot water, baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Sometimes it's really hard to get out
This is an awesome video. As a synchro dad I often wonder if i'm knoxing the right away nd this was a terrific help. We have placed it up on our website so everyone should share this video as well. Well done!!!!
if you have very long hair or layered hair, try splitting the ponytail in two sections, braiding them, then twisting them into a bun. It prevents fly aways and in my opinion looks very nice!!
Thats a good fighting hairstyle nobody can pull your hair 😆
THANK YOU for posting this. I had no idea how to do my daughter's hair, but we struggled through it. THIS VIDEO IS A FABULOUS HELP, a huge THANKS!!
Past dancer here: we did buns but never had to do this! Wow what we do for our craft!
Bobby pin tip: never knew this until I read the instructions that came with a pack one day. The ripped portion of the Bobby pin always goes against your head. You should NEVER see it; the ribbed portion is designed to cause resistance so as not to fly out when dancing, doing gymnastics, etc. then, the end of the pin should always get tucked under the hair. Nothing exposed to get caught on the costume when moving your arms.
Result: a flat Bobby pin flush against the head. She be invisible and blend it to look seamless. If exposed, the ribs reflect light at awkward angles and you can see that from the stage.
If you use sheet gelatine it is a lot easier to get the right consistency and it doesn't risk going flaky in places once it's drying :)
This is so amazing
for me, about 30 mins. my hair is super long (just above butt haha) but it is really thin, so its easier to knox my hair. as for thicker hair, its harder. idk why, just is :P lol
Poor girls. Why must they add this. Isnt the whole industri around sport sometimes just redicolous. WHO is this for., i guess- the men!
You have to rinse it off in very hot water and scrub at it with shampoo. It takes about 30 mins to completely get all of it out but there may still be some left over that you have to pick out.
akmlr1 it takes me 3 days to remove it all off my own head 😂
Thanks - I was going to ask how one gets the Knox out of the hair
If you swim with a bun cover and not a headpiece like that, I suggest knoxing without it and putting it on after it is dry. You have a bunch of little hairs that end up collecting at the back, around the bun, and it isn't pretty xD
Super stinky...
I just knocks my ear but I don't know how to put the headpiece in...😂
Respect this is dedication.
We used Vaseline back in the old days. 2 shampoos and it was out.
Great girls, i'm starting in this and didn't know this secret, thanks!
This is so interesting, I had no idea this was something that was done
How long take it do do that?
First step wet hair in sink and tangle it. Then detangle it...Ladies just use a spray bottle for that part.
Thank you so much for taking the time and making this video, it will very useful to show my synchro girls. I didn't want to have to demonstrate on myself for nothing hahaha.
Thanks, hope you have a great season if you are still in MAC :)
Thank you so much i needed this so my mom and i know how to do it
Wow!A fantastic!
My fellow synchro members who can relate doing this sucks
Men don't understand how high maintenance perfect hair is.
Where did the concept of knoxing hair for synchronized swimming originate? Why can't synchronized swimmers just wear caps?
They can fall off and also aesthetics are part of the sport
The was in cake can you have we hair to not like have
The cake helpful happy Kerry hat in Natalie car like hat on thats the rad cannot and pink
huh
who else is here from that olympics ig post😂
The Kerry Natalie hand happy not to ing for canary wharf
Knox should add a girl with bun hair in their logo
I do synchronized swimming 😍 and i know how IT feels😍
STOP putting food gelatin in your hair. They make HAIR gelatin for this purpose
What is the name and the artist of this song???
Gelatin stinks!! Poor girls!!!
I never knox my bun it’s just annoying to get out.
How do you wash it out?
Coty Peterson loosen it with hot water and shampoo, comb it out with lots of conditioner
If its really stuck i use apple cider vinegar and baking soda
Ok so how do you wash this stuff out of your hair then???😮
With warm water and shampoo
How do you get it out of your hair when you're done? I'm curious XD
Wash with warm water and shampoo though you probably need to scrub multiple times and you might need to pick a bit out after
@@kimxx6658 I see, thanks. Feels like I asked this much longer ago. Man time is weird this year.
aaauch, lo q ha de doler al quitarla
Why not use hair gel?
Goes off in the water/doesn't stay as well
Pain
My club puts in a ponytail with braids and then does Knox and after that we bun it up
Jackie Is Awesome yeah we do that to!
mine puts it in a pony tail then gets it wet then puts the first coat on it then after that we do three braids and put those in a bun then we do the second coat of Knox then put a bunch of Bobby pins then the hair net and then more pins then it's done

Swim cap???
May fall off and aesthetic purposes for compeitions/shows. Though we get to use swim caps during trainings
Epoxy would last longer.
This us ignorant comment clearly they aren't trying to destroy their hair melt it off nor poison themselves. You put epoxy in your hair and make a video about it. Ignorant
Just shave your head. Stop wasting Jello!
We do this kind of crazy thing, yet we mock and laugh at indigenous tribes who use too many necklaces... 😅
Still, what a dedication! Congratulations! Didn't know synchronised swimmers had to go through this! :p
Who mocks people for necklaces? What losers.
