How to put a headband?

 

First, always brush your hair with a brush suited for its nature. If you want to give it volume before putting your headband, bend your head forward, give a few brush strokes, then pull your head back up.

 

There are two ways to put your headband depending on the look you want to create:

• Either you want something very natural, then you will simply slide your accessory onto your head while hiding the ends within the hair behind your ears;
• Or you want to keep your hair back. You will then first delicately slide the ends of the headband behind your ears, well under the hair. Then you will pull your accessory up and backwards, sweeping your hair away from your face.
