Faith Ward<\/strong> is all about her voluminous ponytail \u2014 and Wingstop.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, 22, exclusively opened up to Us Weekly<\/em> about her necessities when it comes to game day: a bold lip, lashes, and of course, one of her favorite eateries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so excited about this partnership,\u201d she gushed to Us<\/em> about teaming up with Wingstop, revealing that she \u201cnaturally filmed a review without it even being a collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ward explained that Wingstop\u2019s PR team then reached out to her, as their headquarters are in Dallas, Texas, and expressed interest in working together. \u201cI was like, \u2018This is a pinch me moment,\u2019 she gushed to Us<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s insane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader Faith Ward Is the Only 1 Allowed to Wear a Ponytail: \u2018Tea\u2019<\/p>\n

Ward is currently in her rookie season of DCC and made headlines for standing out with her voluminous ponytail, while her other team members rock bombshell blowouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a bit of controversy, of course,\u201d she admitted. \u201cEveryone’s like, \u2018Why is there a ponytail?\u2019\u201d Ward then pointed out that squad members have been sporting different hairstyles since the 1960s. \u201cIt’s not just me. I feel very honored to be up there with some other very inspiring women who have had different hairstyles over the years as well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ward added, \u201cI do read a lot of people’s opinions, but I just remind myself that at the end of the day, I like wearing it, and I think it looks good. And so do Kelli [Finglass]<\/strong> and Judy [Trammell].<\/strong>\u201d While she was \u201cshocked\u201d at how much of an \u201cimpact\u201d her ponytail had, Ward shared that she\u2019s more than fine with being the \u201ctopic of conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ward reminisced on getting the seal of approval about rocking her iconic ponytail on the field. \u201cKelli looked at me and said, \u2018Oh, I think I prefer your hair up,\u2019\u201d she explained. \u201cI got so excited. I was like, \u2018Yes, this is like a moment for difference, a moment for me to express myself.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The dancer shared that since her hair is \u201cnaturally fine and thin,\u201d she adds extensions to her updo. \u201cWe’ve finally nailed it with a million and one hair ties, bobby pins, hair spray [and] hair gel,\u201d she joked. \u201cI’m not gonna lie, at the end of a game day, you have a bit of a headache.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ward complemented her \u201cAriana Grande<\/strong>\u201d inspired look with lots of highlighter on her cheeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love looking glowy, especially because my hair is up. I feel like I’ve got a serve face card,\u201d Ward added. \u201cHighlighter, lashes and a bold lip is for sure my staple.\u201d<\/p>\n

DCC Rookie Faith Ward\u2019s Teammates Enthusiastically Approve of Her Game-Day Ponytail<\/p>\n

When a game is over and her tight ponytail is out, Ward loves relaxing with a comfort meal from Wingstop. \u201cI go for the Hot Honey Rub, or the Hickory Smoked Barbecue,\u201d she told Us<\/em>. \u201cSeriously, the best. It’s like a mix of like sweet with like heat flavors, the dry rub, the sauces, everything about it, but you’ve got to drown it in ranch. That is what makes it chef’s kiss.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cheerleader also shared that sometimes she\u2019ll fuel her body with Wingstop before games. \u201cI want to pre-carb load, because I’m gonna be burning so much,\u201d she explained. \u201cI feel like it’s efficient to fuel my body with what it’s needing \u2014 protein, nutrients, everything you can get in one and that’s Wingstop.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
