Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Ward Sparks Hairstyle Debate

News summary

Faith Ward, a rookie Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and the first New Zealander to join the squad, has sparked considerable attention and debate by wearing her hair in a slicked-back ponytail, diverging from the team's traditional long, voluminous curls. The hairstyle change, which occurred during rehearsals, was suggested and encouraged by the longtime DCC director Kelli Finglass, who appreciated how the ponytail complemented Ward's dancing and even likened her look to an 'Ariana Grande moment.' Despite some backlash from fans who felt the ponytail broke the team's iconic style, Ward embraced the new look, explaining it helped her perform better without hair in her face and expressed gratitude for Finglass’s support. Finglass also requested Ward to try a longer, blonder ponytail and anticipated a 'cameo day' when the team members take their professional headshots, which may include variations of Ward's hairstyle. Ward’s bold choice challenges the traditional DCC appearance norms, reflecting a shift within the organization while maintaining its spirit. The discussion highlights evolving standards in cheerleading aesthetics and the openness of the organization’s leadership to individual expression within the squad.
