00:00Hair-hanging feels unique to me because I feel like it's the only form of aerial where you're working without an apparatus.

00:06So usually with silks or trapeze, it would be you and the thing you're working with.

00:11With hair-hanging, it's just you. So that feels really magical to me. It feels like the most like flying.

00:21Hi, my name is Erin Blair and I'm a hair-hanging aerialist.

00:30Hair-hanging is a traditional circus practice, where you arrange your hair in such a way that you can hang from it and do aerial.

00:41I wanted to try hair-hanging because I've been doing circus for a long time and I love always pushing the limits of what my body can do.

00:53I wanted to try hair-hanging because I've been doing circus for a long time and I love always pushing the limits of what my body can do.

01:03and hair-hanging seemed like a really exciting way to keep going further.

01:11To train for hair-hanging, you have to condition your body. You need a very strong spine and neck.

01:17You have to sort of train your hair and your scalp. I take a lot of vitamins. I take very good care of my hair.

01:23And learning how to do that definitely took me some time in practice.

01:27The challenges with this type of performance, there's a lot of pain.

01:37If not done correctly, hair-hanging could of course be very dangerous.

01:41You could lose a lot of hair. You could potentially have the hair come undone.

01:46You could fall if you're very high up. That could be extremely dangerous.

01:50And it's been really amazing to me to see like how much the body can do and so I really try to explore that.

02:00Like how much I can express with my body, how strong I can be, how flexible I can be through my acts.

02:07Thank you.
