How to Style It With Your Hair

• Wear the headband pushed back with a low bun so the silhouette shows clearly.
• Style it with a sleek center part and straight hair for a modern finish.
• Pair it with soft waves for romantic, full-volume styling.
• Use a bit of dry shampoo at the crown so the band sits securely without sliding.

Colors That Pair Well

• Neutral and tonal palettes let the piece sing
• Pair with a single pop color and keep everything else quiet
• Metallic accessories (gold, silver) read as the safest pairing

Styling Tips

• Photograph the look in natural light to see the true finish
• Store flat in the custom pouch to keep the shape over time
