Exactly How to Pull Off a Wedding Headband, According to Accessories Queen Justine Marjan

The biggest question on our minds was how do you keep a headband — particularly when they're bigger or heavier — from slipping off while you're dancing, drinking, and mingling with guests.

"The key is getting a headband that is flexible and can mould to the shape of your head without it feeling too tight or uncomfortable", Marjan explains, adding that you may need to invest a bit more money to ensure security. "Most high-quality headbands are lined with padding for comfort and are flexible enough that they can sit firmly on the head without slipping." But if you've fallen in love with a headband that isn't supercomfortable, "you can also line the headband with additional padding or nonslip fabric to help keep it in place," adds Marjan.

When it comes to choosing a hairstyle to go with the headband, think about proportions and how this will frame your face. "I love a low chignon, a mid ponytail, hair down straight or wavy, or with big, fluffy curls," says Marjan. "A chignon can make the headband look more like a crown or modern tiara, whereas wearing your hair down makes [the band] feel more relaxed." More importantly, it really comes down to personal preference and what you feel comfortable wearing on your big day.

"I love a headband on short hair; it's such an easy way to style it and looks great whether the hair is sleek and slick, big and curly, or relaxed and wavy." The same goes for natural texture, regardless of curl pattern: you can slick the front back with the band and leave your spirals in all their natural glory.
