In modern times, however, a tiara is generally a semi-circular or circular band, often metal, and decorated with jewels, which is worn as a form of adornment. It is worn by women around their head or on the forehead as a circlet on very formal or high social occasions. Tiaras are frequently used to "crown" the winners of beauty pageants.

How to wear a Tiara

The tiara should be worn near the middle of the head’s top side. This way, the tiara will go well with the hairdo and will not look like a separate accessory.
It should also be tilted about 45 degrees from the head. That means it should not be so upright, as how many would wear it. It should not be worn too tilted that it will have a bad angle. Wearing it at 45 degrees angle is enough to make it look like a prestigious head accessory.

Hairdressers will secured the tiara using bobby pins/ kirby grips to hold it in place. The tiara should not dictate your movement. The bobby pins/kirby grips can be hidden under the hair, exposing only the designed part of the tiara. Make sure you have your tiara when visting your hairdresser for hair trials.
