There are so many beautiful styles of girls Communion tiaras that enhance a variety of little girls Communion hairstyles and Communion dresses.

Traditional  Communion Tiaras: the most popular choice for little girls and can be worn with of without a veil

Communion Headbands: are very popular for little girls who want to wear their hair down

Double Headbands: They can be worn flat on the head as a headband or tilted forward in tiara style. Some can even be wrapped around a bun!

V – Bands : The First Communion v-band has a characteristic downward point feature, the v-band sits on the top of the head and the  v-shape is worn directly to the front of the face so that the point sits onto the forehead so to compliment the forehead.

Communion Combs: are a simple headpiece style that can be worn with almost any hairstyle.

Hair Curlies & Hair pins:  They are a great option for any Communion hairstyle

12 ways to incorporate a Communion tiara

into your little girls Communion Hairstyle
