Jewelled hair accessories are a great way to finish off party or dressy looks for all types of hair, from short styles to longer hair. Although some hair accessories won't overpower a look, the general rule is that the more elaborate the hair accessory, the less jewelry you should wear near your face (especially earrings.)
