How to Style It With Your Hair
Hair DownWear hair down in soft, bouncy waves with the headband pushed back one inch from the hairline for a romantic, slightly undone finish
PonytailPull hair into a sleek low ponytail with a center part and a touch of pomade at the crown so the knot sits cleanly on top
Half-UpTake the front sections back into a small twist or half-up clip and let the rest cascade loose to give the headband room to shine
BunStyle a low, polished ballerina bun with a middle part so the knotted detail becomes the star of an elegant updo

Styling Tips
- Balance the headbands bold visual weight by keeping earrings dainty or skip earrings entirely and lean on a great red lip
- Echo the gold bead charms in your other accessories such as belt buckles, jewelry, or shoe hardware to create a cohesive metallic moment
- When wearing red on the head, swap to neutral or tonal clothing so the scarlet reads intentional rather than overwhelming
- Spot clean only and store the headband flat in its custom pouch to protect the embroidered Greek letters and gold-plated charms from bending
- Push the headband back about one inch from your hairline to keep the silhouette modern rather than costume-y
