How to secure a tiara that has rings to the head, is a question that we are frequently asked. Tiaras come in a few different forms and each has its own way of attaching to the head. Some tiaras have combs, some have rings, some come in a crown form and some as a frontal hair comb.

The 2 most common conventional ways are:

  1. Start by brushing your hair back and away from your face. You can use a brush or comb to smooth out any tangles or knots.
  2. Place the tiara on your head and adjust it so that it sits comfortably and is centered on your forehead.
  3. Follow the instructions in the image below to hold it in place.
