• If a bride is planning to have a complex high hairstyle, it is possible to fix a tiara in such a manner, so that it embraces a lock of hair. If a tiara has good flexibility and is not too heavy, it can look very beautiful, adding some royal charm to your hairstyle.
• You can also decorate only the top central part, fixing a comb tiara on it.
• In some cases a tiara can be placed even on hindhead, for example, in combination with a Greek hairstyle.
• If a tiara is in shape of a band, it is worn like a band, and its ends are covered with hair.

How to fix a tiara

Tiaras need a lot of your attention when you fix them in your hair. It’s not a hairpin, it’s a decoration for your hair, and they require additional fixing at well. Strewn with stones, this accessorize becomes quite heavy as well. If fixed not properly, this accessory may move, fall, or restrain your moves.

Comb tiara is the easiest option. It can be fixed in your hair like a usual decorative comb. Some tiaras have prongs on them, which go into your hair, helping to fix the accessory. But very often, it’s not enough, that’s why the most reliable way is to use invisible hairpins. They are crossed in ‘X’ shape, and a construction of several hairpin crosses can fix the tiara in multiple places. The selected hairpins have to be the same color as your hair, this will allow to make them almost unnoticeable.

Band tiara does not require additional constructions to fix it, the main trick is to select it in such a manner, that its dimensions correspond to the size of your head.

A tiara is much harder to be fixed on short hair. A hairstyle with smooth hair around a girl’s face looks gorgeous. In this case, it will be the center of everyone’s attention, the way it is supposed to be worn.

Girls with long hair often choose a tiara to combine it with Greek type of hairstyle.
