• Headbands with rhinestones are perfect for special occasions. Be careful in your choice. Some headbands are of poor quality, and an excessive scattering of "diamonds" will reduce the cost of your look. The main thing is to remember that everything should be in moderation.
• Always present a one-piece look with your outfit. These hairstyles may not suit your style at all today. Think about where you are going and what event you want to do your hair for.
