"5 Beautiful Ways to Wear Jewelry in Your Hair\\nWe love a good hair accessory. But there&amp;#39;s also nothing wrong with repurposing a necklace, an earring, or your grandma&amp;#39;s vintage brooch as a barrette or a headband. In fact, the pros do it all the time for the runway and red-carpet events. Hairstylist Teddi Cranford shows us how to think outside of the jewelry box.\\nRethink the headband\u2014in more ways than one.\\nMist your hair all over with a dry texturizer (Cranford used [Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/oribe-dry-texturizing-spray)). Take all the hair above your ears and brush it back to remove your part, then split that hair into two equal sections. Holding each section in your hands, twist them toward each other one or two times and crisscross the right section over the left.\\n\\n__Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray__, $44, [neimanmarcus.com](http://www.neimanmarcus.com/Oribe-Dry-Texturizing-Spray-8-5-oz-br-b-NM-Beauty-Award-Finalist-2015-2014-b/prod136060043/p.prod).\\nUsing your right thumb to hold the hair in place, slide a U-shaped pin into the top section of hair to secure it in place.\\nDepending on how much hair you have or how heavy it is, you may need an extra pin or two to ensure the half-up style is secure.\\nSlide the ends of the collar under the top half of the hair. You may need to stretch open the sides of the choker slightly so that it better fits the curve of your head.\\nFinish by wrapping the bottom half of the hair around a one-inch curling iron, leaving out the ends for a more relaxed, natural effect.\\nMixing and matching different pieces of jewelry creates a decadent baroque effect.\\nStart with easy, rough-dried hair. Don't worry about it being perfectly smooth and sleek; the imperfections will add texture and a cooler quality.\\nComb your hair back with your fingers and slide a duckbill clip behind each ear to keep short layers and face-framing pieces of hair from falling out. Then take the ends of your hair and begin to twist and wrap them into a loose chignon.\\nAs you continue to wrap, stretch out the chignon with your fingers to create a donut-like shape.\\nOnce you've created your donut shape, take the very ends of your hair and push them through the center of the donut, tucking them underneath the sides of the bun.\\nTake your nondominant hand and press it on top of the chignon to keep it flat against the head, then use your dominant hand to slide U-shaped pins around the perimeter of the bun.\\nMold the chignon into a neat round shape with your hands and tuck away any loose ends.\\nRemove the duckbill clips and spray the hair with more texturizing spray\u2014this will add grip to the hair, making it easier to secure the jewelry. For this look, Cranford used an oversize bracelet and laid it across the top of the chignon. Securing pieces of jewelry in the hair can be cumbersome. The trick is to look for sneaky openings in chains, metal loops, and clasps\u2014something that you can easily slip a bobby pin through.\\nYou can keep it clean and simple with one piece of jewelry, or...\\n...you can start to layer. Inspired by the Dolce &amp; Gabbana runways shows, Cranford draped a crystal necklace over the back of the head, securing each end by crisscrossing two bobby pins through the hoop on one side and the spring ring on the other.\\nUse the hair hanging loosely over the ears to conceal the bobby pins. Cranford folded the hair up and over the pins and secured it in place with another bobby pin.\\nFor a final, shiny touch, Cranford clipped in a graphic, Art Deco\u2013style earring over one ear. A small brooch or pendant would also work.\\nRepurpose a major statement necklace for a look that's pretty in the front and all party in the back.\\nSeparate your hair into thirds\u2014two side sections and one in the middle. The middle section should start behind each ear and stretch from the crown down to the nape. Take that middle section and throw it up into a high ponytail.\\nFasten your necklace and hang it over the base of the ponytail. Then wind the chain around the elastic to shorten the length of the necklace. The ends of the fringe should graze the hair at the nape of your neck.\\nNext, gather all of your hair\u2014the side sections and the ponytail\u2014in one hand and hold it right above the crown of your head. Run a brush over the top layer of hair to smooth out any bumps.\\nHolding all your hair in one hand, begin twisting the ends (you can go either right or left\u2014whatever feels more comfortable).\\nKeep twisting the ends until you can't twist them anymore. Now you're ready to create your topknot.\\nWrap the tail around the base of your ponytail, but instead of tucking in the ends, let them splay out along one side to keep the knot from looking too prim and proper (you're wearing a badass fringe necklace in your hair, after all). Secure the knot in place with U-shaped pins and set with a fine mist of hair spray. From the front, you've got a simple, pretty topknot.\\nChokers are back, and while we love the '90s vibe of wearing them around the neck, they also look pretty sweet wrapped around a low ponytail.\\nTake a boar-bristle brush and smooth your hair back into a low ponytail. You can either wear this look with a middle part or no part at all.\\nWrap the jeweled section of the choker around the base of the ponytail, then take the leather strings on either side and wrap them around your head like a headband. Bring the ends of the leather strings underneath the base of the ponytail and tie it off in a double knot.\\nChannel your inner Greek goddess with a chunky gold necklace, or add a subtle hint of shine with a simple gold chain. This look is as easy as brushing your hair and placing a necklace atop your head like a crown. Blow-dry your hair smooth, add in beachy waves, air-dry, or flatiron it straight. For extra security, stick a bobby pin on either side of the necklace."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
