Wearing a tiara should feel magical, not stressful. Many brides worry about hurting their hair or feeling uncomfortable all day. With the right method, you can secure your tiara easily and safely. This simple guide walks you through the full process. You’ll avoid damage and still enjoy a perfect bridal look.
Choose the Right Tiara for Your Hairstyle
Start by picking a tiara that fits your hair type and style. Some tiaras work better with updos, while others suit loose curls or buns.
If you have fine hair, choose a lightweight tiara. It should not pull or press on your roots. For thick or curly hair, go for a tiara with strong loops and structure.
Visit Bella Tiara to explore styles designed for all hair types. Each piece is tested for comfort and hold.
Prep Your Hair Before Placing the Tiara
Clean hair often feels too smooth for a tiara to grip well. Wash your hair the day before, not the day of the event. Slight texture helps hold the accessory better.
Apply a light mousse or texturizing spray if your hair feels too soft. This adds grip without stiffness. Avoid using oil-based products where the tiara will sit. They can cause slipping.
Use Loops or Combs for Strong Support
Look at the base of your tiara. Most designs from Bella Tiara come with built-in loops or combs. These help you anchor the piece without harming your strands.
If your tiara has loops, you can thread bobby pins through them. Crisscross the pins over each loop for extra strength. For combs, press the teeth gently into the styled hair section. You should never force them.
Anchor the Tiara with Bobby Pins the Right Way
Choose Bobby pins that match your hair color. Slide them through the loops or combs on your tiara and into your hair. Angle the pins downward for the best grip.
Use two pins per side and cross them for added hold. If your hairstyle includes braids or twists, pin into those sections. They provide more structure than loose hair.
Repeat on both sides and check the hold by gently shaking your head.
Style Around the Tiara for Extra Hold
Once your tiara is in place, style your hair to lock it in. Add braids, twists, or soft waves around the base. These small touches create grip and also hide the pins.
Avoid tying styles too tightly around the tiara. Keep everything soft to reduce tension. This helps prevent headaches and hair breakage by the end of the day.
Avoid These Common Mistakes
Many brides rush this step. But the wrong technique can cause pain or damage. So take your time and avoid these common mistakes:
- Never use sharp pins or twist ties
- Don’t skip the hair prep step
- Avoid heavy tiaras on thin hair
- Don’t pin only one side of the tiara
- Never force combs into tight buns
Proper care keeps your tiara secure and your hair safe all day long.
Do a Trial Run Before the Big Day
Before your wedding or event, practice the full look. Try on the tiara with your planned hairstyle. Adjust placement, bobby pin direction, and comfort level.
Take pictures from all sides. Move around. Dance. See if it stays in place. You’ll feel more confident knowing everything works ahead of time.
Ask for Help if Needed
Sometimes, two hands are better than one. Ask a friend, stylist, or bridesmaid to assist with placement. They can check angles and help secure the pins better.
Bella Tiara accessories are made for easy use, but an extra hand ensures peace of mind. You’ll enjoy the moment more when you’re not worried about your tiara.
Removing the Tiara Without Causing Breakage
At the end of the event, remove your tiara with care. Gently take out each bobby pin one by one. If your hair is styled tightly, loosen it first before removing the tiara.
Hold the tiara steady as you work to avoid pulling. Once free, brush out the hair slowly. Apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner if you feel any tangles.
Store your tiara in a soft case or the original Bella Tiara box to keep it safe.
