Have you ever wondered how professional cheerleaders like the Dallas Cowboys or the San Diego Chargers maintain their flawless looks - from their hair down to their waistline? Performing in front of over 70,000 fans or participating in professional events is not that easy. It only means one thing: Cheerleaders have to be camera ready. 

Whether you simply want to achieve a pro cheerleader look or plan to join the upcoming tryouts this year, you can definitely learn and apply the top beauty secrets of these fine young women so you can always stay glamorous! 

If you're ready, let's get started. 

Cheerleaders keep their hair healthy and shiny. 

Absolute hair care is a must in cheerleading. Usually, pro cheerleaders perform with their hair down. They often use curling irons, dyes, hair sprays and other styling products to look all dolled up. But they make sure to pay attention to their hair health. 

To maintain fabulous hair, you can follow these tips:

1. If you dye your hair, get yourself a high-end shampoo that protects your hair color and contains gentle cleansers. 

2. Use a conditioner to prevent dryness and damage from towel drying after every bath. 

3. To prevent breakage, avoid brushing your hair while it's wet. If you need to de-tangle some strands, it would be best to use a wide tooth comb.

4. Visit the salon for regular trims. Trimming your hair every 4-6 weeks removes split ends. 

5. Moisturize your hair daily. A good hair moisturizer makes your tresses look better and less dull and brittle. 

Cheerleaders drink LITERS of water. 

Hours of training and long game days can put cheerleaders at risk for getting dehydrated. Without enough water, they won't have enough energy to carry on. Because these women move like athletes, they have to drink at least 3-5 liters of water per day - not glasses!

Water does not only make you more alert, it also helps your skin look amazingly beautiful. Below are more benefits of staying properly hydrated with clean water:

1. Water improves your skin tone, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. It's the ultimate natural anti-aging treatment on the planet.

2. Water flushes out harmful toxins, producing a glowing effect on your skin. You'll look fresh and more glowing. 

3. Your hair also thrives on water to maintain its health. Loading up on H20 supports good hair growth. 

4. You'll prevent and minimize the occurence of skin issues such as acne. 

Cheerleaders prioritioze fitness. 

If you want to be a pro cheerleader, you have to be enthusiastic about keeping yourself fit. Fitness requires dedication and discipline. A lot of people have this notion that cheerleading is just all about glamour. But behind these pretty faces are hours of intense work and keeping the right mindset. 

Ask yourself: Are you ready to take your fitness to the next level to look like an NFL cheerleader? If yes, you might want to check out these tips:

1. Do a combination of exercise routines like cardio and weight training. You can also try yoga to work on your flexibility. (Read: 4 Amazing Ways Yoga Can Make You A Better Pro Cheerleader)

Some of the best exercises include running, sprinting, bodyweight squats, pushps, and planks. 

2. Make time you cook your own meals instead of eating out at restaurants. You'll have more control of your diet and avoid gaining excess calories than you need. 

3. Again, keep yourself hydrated. This will help sustain your energy during your exercises. Be careful with drinking athletic drinks that are loaded with unnecessary calories. 

4. Be accountable with your fitness regimen. Have someone you can workout with. Hiring a personal fitness trainer is also effective in helping you push your limits. 

5. Stretch before you exercise. Stretching allows you to move better, prevents muscle cramps, and decreases your risk for injuries. Well-conditioned muscles workout better!
