A few tips to help you choose an optional accessory.
- If your hairstyle consists of a ribbon or headband, then pay attention to the color of the decoration itself. A flashy headband won't work, and neither will ribbon. Choose more soothing shades to match your eyes and hair color. A black headband on dark hair and pale shades on light hair will always be winning.
- Every woman wants to look beautiful and graceful. Flower buds in your hair can help you with this. Do not weave them over the entire length of the braid. A few buds will be enough, and you can also experiment and stick it into the bunch.
- 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.
