Tips

Hair Vines

1. Head Band

• Place the headband in the desired spot and use the ribbon ties to secure in a bow under your hair at the top of your neck. For extra security, use with bobby pins (hair pins) throughout so you can dance the night away! Using pins the same color as your hair will blend in the best.
• Ribbon ties are sent with even length on either side. You can trim to desired length with scissors. To prevent the end from fraying, lightly paint clear nail polish on the tip or sear with a lighter flame a few inches away.

2. Forehead Band / Crown

• An extra set of hands works best for placing this piece.
• You can secure with ribbon ties at the back, tying a bow and  letting the ribbon ties drape down or remove ties and tuck the ends into your hair at the back.
• Ribbon ties are sent with even length on either side. You can trim to desired length with scissors. To prevent the end from fraying, lightly paint clear nail polish on the tip or sear with a lighter flame a few inches away.
• If you are wearing without ribbon ties - you can back comb (tease) the hair under where you attach the ends with pins. This will give added texture to securely hold the piece in place. See “Adding Texture” below).
• Your hairstyle should be done, hair spray applied and dry before placing the piece. This should be the last piece placed (unless you are wearing with a veil, in which case a veil would be placed last). Because this is wire - the little beaded sprays  grab onto hair, so you want to try to get this right on the first try. If you do have to adjust placement - some hairs may have to be restyled.
• Apply hairspray and perfumes prior to placing - spraying once the piece is on will dull the appearance of the crystals and pearls.
• If spray does get on your piece, wipe with a damp cloth and let dry.
• Place the headband in the desired spot on your forehead having someone help you tie it in the back while you hold in place. Use the ribbon ties to secure in a bow at the back of your head.
