Hair fascinators have been on the market for several decades. While many women wear them during weddings, they are also common in other events, including corporate events, cocktail events, charity events and horse racing among others. To stand out, however, it is important to know how to wear these versatile accessories the right way. The following are some of the tips that you need to keep in mind when wearing a hair fascinator:
1. Traditionally, fascinators were worn on the right side of the head. However, today, there is no right or wrong side. In fact, some unique hair fascinators are designed to be worn right in the center. It also depends on how your designer has made your hat; there are situations where trims and details will appear a bit off when worn on the opposite side to what the designer intended. To ensure that they fit naturally, it is advisable to try them ahead of time or event.
2. When fitting hair fascinators with a comb, it is important to know where you want the headpiece to be positioned. People with thick hair should slide the comb backwards through the hair for about an inch (in the opposite direction that your hair falls) while holding the fascinator at a slight angle. Then the comb should be tipped, fascinators rested and pushed down in the direction that that your hair falls. The fascinators will then grip appropriately.
3. To get everything right, it is important to consider your hair color. Redheads are awesome with natural and earth tones, such as camel, browns, dark, beiges, and olive green. On the other hand, blonds should consider light warm colors such as turquoise, coral, apple-neutral navy, taupe, and beige. Lastly, brunettes should go for bright, deep shades like hot pink, bright blue, emerald, purple, navy, and neutral black.
4. Wash your hair one day before the day that you plan to wear a fascinator. This will go a long way in keeping it in place.
5. If your hair is short, wear fascinators attached to hair bands.
There are all kinds of fascinators to suit every woman and for every occasion, whether you are looking to add some touch to your glamour or you want just to make a fashion statement. If you think that they don’t suit you, it might be because you haven’t got or tried the right style yet. Before you reap the benefits of these hair accessories, you may experience a few challenges in opting for the right piece. The above tips should start you off, but if you are still confused, consult a fashion designer before buying one.
