Hair Comb / Head Drop
Also known as: Head drop, hair toss
The follow combs a hand through the hair and releases the head back into a drop — a sensual styling showpiece that turns a head movement into a statement.
What This Move Is
A styling showpiece where the follow draws a hand up through her hair and then releases the head back and around into a controlled drop. It is a head-and-neck accent, dressed by the hand, used to cap a phrase dramatically.
Key Points
- Lead: Keep a calm, supportive frame; the move is the follow's, so give her a stable reference and don't rush her.
- Follow: Lead the head with the hand and control the release from the neck — never throw the head with a locked or strained neck.
- Timing: On a held accent, over 2–4 counts.
- Common mistake: Snapping the head hard, which strains the neck and loses the elegance.
Style Notes
An advanced, higher-risk styling move because of the head and neck — warm up and keep it controlled. A beautiful way to finish a sensual line, often into a lean.
