Red Net Moment News September 13(Reporter Song Peishan) “As graceful as a startling giant, graceful as a swimming dragon. Glowing autumn chrysanthemums, gorgeous spring pines.” Many people like to use this to describe Miss Huayou. They were flowing freely in the swimming pool, so beautiful. but:
How do the ladies manage to compete without taking off their makeup? How to create beautiful makeup without making it messy?
I believe that all the beautiful girls who have had the experience of taking off their makeup and powder will have questions regarding this.
“In order to maintain the style during intense underwater sports, every hair strand must be close to the scalp. For us swimmers, makeup is the ‘beautiful pain’ we have to endure all the time.” Sun Wenyan, the synchronized swimming silver medalist at three consecutive Olympic Games in London, Rio and Tokyo, reveals the beautiful secrets of synchronized swimming.

How to have a “perfect hair style for synchronized swimming”? Sun Wenyan has competed with the team for many years and is already experienced at brushing, tying, and wearing headdresses.
According to reports, the raw material of hairspray is not a “black technology”, but the gelatine powder we need to make jelly and pudding every day. Athletes will use boiling water to make a suitable paste and brush it evenly over their hair before the liquid cools and solidifies. Generally, according to the individual hair volume, use a toothbrush or comb to apply the hairspray that is transparent and not completely solidified to the entire head, and apply it layer by layer until it is set.
“Adjusting the glue is very important. If the hairspray is too thin, it will not stick to the hair, resulting in poor durability, and the hair or hair accessories will fall off. You must know that players will be deducted points if their hair accessories fall off during the competition. This is We must avoid it. If the hairspray is too thick, it will turn white and the effect when applied to the head will not be smooth and beautiful. It must be adjusted to a transparent paste.” Sun Wenyan introduced with gestures.
Of course, the pain of hair bandaging is something every athlete has to endure. The members of the flower tour team have insisted on wearing hairpins and fixed hair accessories for many years. “I basically use 30 small black clips for my hair. If the hair accessories are more gorgeous, I will need more hairpins. I want to make sure that in the end, my head is like wearing a transparent helmet and it clicks loudly.”
Putting your hair up is time-consuming and also painful when taking it off and washing it. The small black clips will pull your hair accidentally when you take them off, and the hairspray is also difficult to wash. You need to melt it with hot water before washing it. If the hairspray is not cleaned thoroughly, it will easily cause hair follicles to be clogged, and in severe cases, it will cause hair follicles to be blocked. Cause hair loss.

“We can freely choose the cosmetics we put on before. The first criterion for choosing products is not waterproof. The main thing is the effect of makeup, to achieve a good-looking appearance! Because the facial features need to highlight the color, we will find a set that suits us. Makeup products.” Sun Wenyan said that in addition to warming up before the game, the most important thing he did was to touch up his makeup and play in the best condition.
It takes at least half an hour to complete a set of exquisite synchronized swimming makeup (for women), so synchronized swimming athletes do not wear makeup and hair before training, let alone during training. During the competition, if it is a game at 8 o’clock in the morning, the participants are group (8 people) and combination (10 people) competitions, which means that the girls have to get up at 4 or 5 in the morning to prepare. Sun Wenyan said that in the past, she had to get up at 3 o’clock to put her hair up during competitions, and it would take an hour and a half to do her makeup.
“During group competitions, the coaches basically divide the work and collaborate. We sit in a row, and following arranging our hair, one coach puts on the hairpins, another applies the glue, another coach is responsible for the headgear, and finally checks the hair. The shape is not perfect, and the makeup is not beautiful.”
Come on, newcomers to Hunan Flower Tour
Sun Wenyan recalled that the first time she participated in the Asian Games was the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, when she was a teenager and participated in collective events with the team. As a young player at the time, she was deeply impressed by the specifications of the playing field, training field and living area.
“In the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, our Hunan girl Zhang Yayi followed the national team to participate in the flower tourism competition. She is not only a ‘newcomer’ in flower tourism, but also the successor of our Hunan flower tourism. I hope she will carry the banner of Hunan flower tourism. Strive to bloom beautifully in the competition.”
The flower swimming competition of the Hangzhou Asian Games will be held from October 6th to 8th at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Swimming Pool.
