There are many simple tricks of the trade that can be utilised to ensure your fascinators or tiaras stays where you want it and will ensure you look fabulous all day.
• Back comb the area where you intend to place your fascinator or tiara. This provides a thicker and stronger area on which the fascinator or tiara comb can grip.
• Push the comb slightly in the opposite direction before you slide the fascinator or tiara into place, this will ensure that more hairs are woven between the teeth of the comb, again ensuring a firmer grip.
• Spray the area around the fascinator or tiara comb, avoiding the actual fascinator or tiara, liberally with hairspray. This will ensure that the fascinator or tiara comb and the hairs stick together and will prevent it from slipping.
• And lastly if you're still worried about wearing your fascinators and tiaras, try strategically placing a few curbi-grips in the area also, just for extra security.
What If I choose a fascinator or tiara on a headband
If you select a fascinator or tiara mounted on a head band you really do not have any cause for concern. The fascinators and tiaras bands are all strong yet discreet and will stay in place without help. So unless, after the Champagne starts flowing, you feel the urge to perform cartwheels, (and then I'm afraid gravity will probably take hold) you'll be absolutely fine and your fascinator or tiara wont move.
