Black hair tips from chezbec.com

Ivory freshwater pearls look sensational in dark hair and really complement the hair’s natural tones.

Hair flowers look gorgeous in really dark hair. Whether ivory, white or coloured, they’re perfect for a spring or summer wedding, home or abroad.

Vintage-inspired sparkly hair combs are bang on trend at the moment and make a real statement in black hair.

 

Blonde hair tips from floandpercy.com

Gold is the most flattering colour in blonde hair. Too much silver can look cold and harsh against blonde locks, especially if it is a big, heavy design.

If you do want silver, look for warmer tones with lots of sparkle. These pieces really do sit nicely in blonde hair.

For long, blonde curly hair with no fringe, a forehead band looks great and gives a bohemian look that suits this hair colour and style. Think boho bride with a glamorous edge.

 

Brunette hair tips from Starletjewellery.co.uk

Brunettes can pull off the sparkle of a diamanté piece like no one else. Remember Kate Middleton’s twinkling diamond tiara against her glossy mid-brown locks?

If you’re wearing a side piece, ensure the headband has detail along the whole band, or ask if the band can be ribbon wrapped to match your hair. Metallic shades will stand out against darker hues.

Medium brown is the perfect base for introducing colour to your hair accessories. Add touches of colour to complement other elements of your wedding, including your bouquet or bridesmaid dresses.

 

Red hair tips from julieannbeads.co.uk

Emphasise glorious red hair with warmer tones. Consider choosing hair accessories with Champagne- coloured crystals to give a subtle softer glow. Alternatively, turn up the drama and richness with the addition of red crystals.

Red heads look super glamorous when they sweep their hair into updos – just think of Nicole Kidman or Kate Winslet on the red carpet. A strategically-placed comb and statement earrings will add to the timeless elegance.

Shorter, cropped auburn hair styles look fabulous with headbands. Vintage-style headbands with a sprinkling of diamanté remain a key fashion trend for 2012.
