Costume Headbands and Headpieces FAQ

What is a headband/headpiece?

A headband is an elastic piece of material worn across the forehead and around the circumference of the skull, while a headpiece is a small accessory pinned in place on the hair or on top of the head. A headpiece can also be a headband with an attached feature like a bow that sits across the top of the head, rather than the front.


What's the difference between a crown and a tiara?

A crown has a circular base and rests on top of the head, encompassing the top of the scalp so it isn't seen. Crowns are usually only worn by royalty. A tiara (sometimes called a diadem) is only a half circle, and rests towards the front of the head just above the hairline. The wearer's head can be seen through the tiara. While often seen worn by royalty, tiaras can be worn by anyone able to afford them!


How can I help my headband/headpiece stay on my head?

If you find your costume headband or headpiece isn't staying in place, here are some tricks you can use:

  • Glue clear plastic combs to the sides of your headpiece that you can tuck into your hair to keep it in place.
  • If your headpiece is quite small, adhere a snap clip or a barrette to its underside with glue so you can keep it firmly in place.
  • Hide the elastic of a tiara or crown headband and help keep it in place by twirling your hair around it and then securing it with bobby pins.
  • For extreme (ie. very formal) events, you can create a tiny braid behind the front of a tiara or crown and then 'sew' it into your hair using clear elastic string. It'll be hard to get out, but you can be confident your headwear won't move an inch!
