Styling with jewelry is a great way to look beautiful and elegant. You can wear it on your fingers, wrist, neck, and ears. If you want something different while looking stunning, why not try jewelry on your hair as well?
Whether you have long or short hair, straight or wavy, black or blonde, you can make your crowning glory a head-turner by using the right jewelry. Read on and find out some of the best ways to take your style to the next level by wearing hair jewelry.
Tips to Level Up Your Hairstyle With Jewelry
From colorful jewelry to sparkling diamonds, you can repurpose your rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and brooches. Use them on your hair as a statement piece. Find out some of the most creative ways to look fashionable.
1. Bling With Rings
Put a ring on it! No, not on your finger but on your hair. It is a simple but elegant way to wear hair jewelry. One of the best things to do is to wear rings in rows until it leads to a high ponytail. This hairstyle is great if you want to create an illusion of height.
Another thing that you can do is to make French braids and decorate them with rings. Part your hair into two and start the French braid on one side. Separate the right side of your head into three sections and start with the French braid. As you cross the center of the braid, insert rings to act as a decorative piece. Make sure that each section is small enough for the ring to fit.
Do not just use any ring. Instead, we suggest one with diamonds to create a hairstyle that’s shining, shimmering, and splendid. And no, we are not talking about an expensive sparkling mined diamond. Instead, you should opt for man-made diamonds. They are created in a laboratory and take only a few weeks to make, making them affordable. Rings with lab-grown diamonds are sure to make your hairstyle stunning without breaking the bank!
2. Brooch as a Decorative Hair Clip
When it comes to vintage jewelry, a brooch is one of the most popular. For centuries, it has been one of the classic accessories. It is a functional addition to your wardrobe as it secures clothes in place while making you look good. You can also use it for your hair. This is especially a great choice during formal occasions when you are aiming for a sophisticated style.
From elegant ponytails to Bohemian chignons, there are many ways you can incorporate a brooch in your mane. If you have loose hair, you can wear a brooch by holding a section of your hair to create a clean look on one side. This is a great way to draw attention to one side of the face. You can also mix and match with vintage barrettes and clips
3. Necklace as Headband
Despite the name, a necklace is not just for the neck. You can be creative in thinking of ways to incorporate it into your fashion, and one of the best would be in your hairstyle. The secret here is to find a necklace that is long enough to wrap your head or hair. Otherwise, you will need an elastic. You can also secure them using hair pins, making sure that the necklace won’t fall off your hair when you move.
Grab a necklace, preferably one with a length of 18 inches. Bend the link at one end of the necklace using needle nose pliers. Once it is open, attach an elastic hair tie and close it again using the pliers. You can overlap the edges if the fit is too loose. Move to the other side of the necklace. Open the clasp and insert the elastic tie. Ear it on your head and you would normally do it in a headband. If it is too tight or too loose, change the hair tie to one with the right length.
4. Make a Statement With a Fringe Necklace
If you want to look mysterious, then a fringe necklace is a great option for your hair accessory. The part with the fringe will go on the back. This way, when someone sees your face, your hair looks simple. When they look at the back, on the other hand, they will see your fringe necklace hanging like a charm.
Start by separating your hair into three sections—one in the center and two on the sides. Pull the middle section and create a high ponytail. Put the fringe necklace on the back of the head by winding the chain around the elastic to shorten it to the desired length. Pull the two side sections and the middle section and brush to smoothen the bumps. Hold all sections in one hand and twist. Keep twisting until the end and tie it into a bun.
5. DIY Crown or Tiara
You can look like a princess without spending a fortune. Make yourself a crown or tiara, which will make the perfect accessory for formal nights. This can take a while since you will be making one from scratch, but it is worth the time and effort. This is also great for those who are into sustainable fashion since you are repurposing old jewelry.
The most important is the base. This will be the foundation of the hair accessory, which is what will hold everything together. The easiest thing to do is to buy a cheap plain crown or tiara and accessorize it using your jewelry, such as pendants and earrings. Pearls will make great accent pieces! Use glue to put them in place.
In Closing
It pays to get creative with how you use your jewelry. Do not be limited by their original purpose. Make a statement by accessorizing your hair using your jewelry collection. Whether it is a decorative hair clip or a headband, there are tons of ways by which your crowning glory will turn heads using jewelry.
