Hair Jewellery - Fashion for the Crown

Jewelleries help you to complete your dressup in one way or other, and hair jewellery is an exquisite way of stating your fashion trend to the world. The art of enhancing one's hair with jewels dates back to around 400 years ago, when women used their bracelets, brooches and necklaces to wear them on their head, creating intricate patterns and styles. Over the years, this fashion began to gain more importance with the love for Victorian wear and long hairstyles, giving rise to hair accessories like studded clips, combs, barrettes, hairbands, etc. Donning sparkly gold, silver or bejeweled accessories do not just complete your overall look, but they also add a touch of glam to your hair. Hair jewellery is also a great addition for weddings, parties and other occasions, adding elegance and charm to your hair, enhancing the hairstyle and completing your outfit. You can even prepare your own hair accessories at home. All you need are some craft items, quick-dry adhesive, beads, stones, gems, etc., and creative ideas. For instance, by using some elegant velvet over a plain plastic hairband, dried or synthetic flowers or pot pourri, beads or rhinestones, you can prepare a wonderful bejeweled headband.

Hair Claw - Dress Up Your Locks

Be it long hair or short ones, a hair claw is a useful accessory for securing hair in various styles. You can use it to secure an updo like a french knot, a simple twist, a bun, etc., or even for securing small amounts of loose hair in an open haired styled. Sometimes known as hair jaws, these accessories are also great for kids, especially as they can be used for all types and lengths of hairs. Available in sizes ranging from jumbo to tiny, they act like clutches, securing hair to the head in a tight and snug fit and are especially great if you hate leaving hair open especially during sweltery hot summers. However, try not to use a hair claw that's big and high arched for a half-back hairstyle. For one, they stand out too much, and they pull back your hair tight, which might not really look that good. Use barrettes in such cases as they pull back your hair much smoother and add a softness. But if you do want to use a claw for such hairstyles, make sure it's a small one and something that's not outrageously hideous.

Hair Vines - Ornamental and Elegant

It's probably confusing to you about what hair vines are, mostly because these hair accessories are rarely worn unless any special occasion like a wedding. And even if you know they are, the confusion remains, about what style to purchase, how much length to use and how to secure your hair and style it with the hairstyle of your choice. You can find some helpful tutorials and videos online if you're feeling lost. Usually, vines are crafted out of silver or gold wire that are bent into different shapes and studded with gemstones, rhinestones, crystals, pearl, beads or diamonds. They generally have different lengths and can be bent into the shape of choice or even twisted around your hair. Because they are made from lightweight wire, these are easily flexible and quite delicate. You can even leave your hair loose and weave a beautiful silver studded vine through it. They are perfect for brides and can be custom made to match the wedding dress and jewellery.
