Are you looking for a hairstyle with a headband that suits your hair length? Would you like to wear a tiara for an event and are wondering how to position it to enhance your hair?
You’re in the right place.
As a florist specializing in weddings, I often create floral headpieces on headbands for brides that I assist in planning their ceremony.
Today, I want to share what I’ve learned over time while collaborating with professional hairstylists who specialize in festive hairstyles, so you can pick the best headband hairstyle for your hair type.
Headbands and tiaras are suitable for all hair lengths. For short hair, simply style it with some hair wax and place a thin headband on top of your head. Long and medium-length hair can use this accessory to enhance a messy, bohemian bun or beautiful natural waves. To highlight your face and avoid a look that feels too strict, I recommend adding volume to your hair in all cases and allowing a few strands to fall out from your headband or tiara.

For Short Hair: Embrace Headbands to Enhance Your Style
Do you have short hair and are looking for a sophisticated hairstyle? Look no further, a headband is the perfect solution for you. Since it’s often difficult, if not impossible, to create complex hairstyles (like braids or updos) with short hair, you might find yourself wondering how to style it for an occasion.
A headband or tiara is perfect because:
- It gives you style,
- It’s a very feminine hairstyle,
- It can be matched with the clothes you wear,
- It highlights your face,
- It’s very easy to style.
To style your hair with a headband or tiara, simply place the accessory on your hair, which you should have previously shaped with styling wax. Once it’s positioned the way you like, you can make a few finishing touches with the styling wax and then secure everything in place with hairspray.
👉 A headband highlights the shape of your face, which can accentuate oval, long, or square faces beautifully. If you have a very round face, I recommend opting for a tiara worn on the top of your head to ensure your hairstyle looks balanced.
For medium to long hair: loose hair with movement
If your hair is long or medium-length—meaning it reaches your shoulders or lower—you can experiment with a wide variety of hairstyles. The simplest option is to curl your hair or to create waves using a curling iron or rollers, and then place a headband on your head, allowing some strands to hang out. Once you’ve achieved the desired look, don’t forget to set everything with hairspray.
This hairstyle is perfect for you if you’re looking for:
- A tip to highlight your round or oval face,
- A quick and easy hairstyle to create,
- Something that allows you to feel free to move,
- A way to showcase your neckline.
👉 You can also wear a headband with straightened hair. However, the result will be more polished and may give off a “little girl model” vibe. Don’t hesitate to experiment to find out which hairstyle suits you best!
A Bohemian Hairstyle for Long Hair: The Loose Bun
If you have some time on your hands and enjoy wearing your hair up, you can easily pair a headband or a tiara with a tousled, bohemian bun. It can be loose or braided, depending on your preference.
If this hairstyle seems too complicated to do on your own, don’t hesitate to reach out to a hairstylist, who can perfectly incorporate the accessory into the hairstyle.
This very feminine and elegant hairstyle is perfect for you if:
- You want to enhance your oval, square, or long face,
- You wear glasses and are looking for a hairstyle that complements them,
- You prefer a natural-looking hairstyle,
- You don’t want a strict hairstyle that pulls your hair back,
- You are looking for a hairstyle that keeps you cool.

How to Choose Your Flower Crown?
Convinced? Here are some tips to help you choose a flower crown that complements your features:
🔸 Do you have a round face? Do you have voluminous hair? Opt for a crown with large flowers, like this style.
🔸Do you have a narrow face, short hair, or very fine hair? Are you on the shorter side? I recommend a fine flower crown, like this one, to beautifully highlight your delicate features.
How to Wear a Flower Crown?
This type of accessory is usually very easy to put on. All you need to do is place it on your pre-curled or styled hair, and tie the ribbon at the back of your head in a nice bow. You can tighten it slightly to keep it in place, but make sure it’s not uncomfortable.

Natural or Synthetic Crown?
If you choose this type of accessory, you have two options: it can be a natural crown made with fresh flowers, or a crown made with synthetic flowers.
Here are the main differences between the two:
🔹 The natural crown should be ordered from a florist and picked up the evening before or on the day of the event for which it will be worn.
This party accessory can only be worn on one occasion, as it will quickly fade.
🔹 The artificial crown can be ordered in advance as soon as you’ve chosen your outfit. Simply select one that matches it. You can reuse it for other occasions or keep it as a memento of a wonderful time spent with your loved ones. Additionally, there is a wide variety of high-quality synthetic crowns available that create the illusion of fresh flowers.
