The best hair accessories for prom complement your prom dress and add romance and sophistication to your look. Whether you just want to add a little glitz and sparkle to your hair or you want to make a dramatic statement with your look, there are plenty of hair accessories that are perfect for you. The following article outlines different types of hair accessories for prom and how to wear them.



Hair Pins and Clips
Hair pins and clips are designed to hold your updo in place, but they can also add sparkle and vibrance to your look. Choose hair pins that have only a tiny jewel or crystal at the end to create the look of diamonds in your hair. If you're looking to make a bolder statement, opt for clips or pins with flowers, feathers or pearls. Keep in mind the color of your prom dress when selecting your hair clips, and choose styles that complement the dress.



Tiara
Even if you're not the prom queen, you can still look just as fabulous with the perfect tiara. Whether your hair is worn up or down, a tiara makes a great accessory. Choose taller tiaras with different colored stones for the most dramatic effect, or shorter tiaras to add just a little shimmer around the crown of your head. Either way, you'll look like a princess. For the most complete look, select matching earrings.

Oversized Flowers
It's easy to create a look that's totally retro or sophisticated and modern with the right oversized flower pin. You can either have a florist design one for you the day of the event, or you can wear one designed from artificial flowers. The latter is recommended, since artificial flowers hold up better on the dance floor and are easier to pair with rhinestones and feathers. Wear it on the side of your head for a flirty, romantic look, or pin it to the back of your hair for a more relaxed, vintage style.
