How To Style Your Hair With Maang Tikka

Tikka, Maatha Patti, and Jhumars are considered to be the favorite headgear when it comes to jewelry. They are famous in Asian countries, especially Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. People don’t only wear them at weddings but on festivals, functions and dinners as well. Here are a few points which you must keep in mind before opting for any head jewelry.

  • Buns are ideal with Jhumars, Tikkas, and Maatha Pattis. You can go with sleek buns, high buns, or messy buns and fix your dupatta over them and stay relaxed.
  • If you have a square or round face, then straight hair will look perfect on you. Don’t go with tikkas that are too large. Opt for Borla Maang tikka or pendent tikkas.
  • You can do side partition if you only want your pendant to be visible.
  • Puff hairstyle is usually considered favorite when you want your tikka to stay fixed and not move. Crescent tikkas and Chaand tikkas fit this hairstyle the best.
  • Hair updos, open hair with loose curls, twists, front braids, and fishtails are also great ways to set up your hair.
  • If you are planning to wear heavy Maatha Patti or Jhumar, then avoid wearing roses or flower jewelry in your hair.
  • Make sure your hairstyle does justice to the jewelry and supports your dupatta as well.

↓ 35 – Best Tikka Size And Shape For Your Face Type

Weddings are all about details. You can ruin your entire look with one small mistake. Don’t take the risk and know your face shape and decide your jewelry accordingly.

Oval Face: The Oval face is the most proportional and versatile face shape ever. It’s the most common face shape in Asia. If you are one of the people with the Oval face, then wear anything that doesn’t add extra length to your face. Also, avoid large Maatha Pattis.

Round Face: Round face is adorable, but you might want to add a little sharpness to your face hence put on head jewelry that is thin and long. Avoid too many details and fancy Maatha Pattis. Oval or rectangle Jhumars, Tikkas, and Passas will suit your face the best.

Heart Shape: If you have a heart face shape, it means you have a broad forehead and narrow chin. So, to balance out your face, you should wear Cresent tikkas, Chaand tikkas, Passas and multi-layered Maatha Pattis.

Rectangle Shape: If your face is rectangle-shaped, then wear jewelry with a large pendant. Maatha Pattis are a big yes for you. Also, South Indian jewelry will look best on you.

Here’s one of the most confusing yet essential questions people ask with it comes to head ornaments.

What should I wear, Maang Tikka or Maatha Patti? 

Maatha Pattis and Maang Tikkas both have their distinctive appeal and look alluring. But the concern is which one should you opt for. Consider the following points and choose one for yourself. You should wear Maang Tikka if your face is small as you don’t have enough room on your face. Wear small tikkas like Borla or pendent if your forehead is small.

Matha Pattis are ideal for people with broad faces, especially round or oval, as they conceal your face and make it look smaller. People with large foreheads should wear Maatha Pattis to contour their faces.

↓ 34 – Broad Maatha Pattis

Broad Maatha Pattis reflect the vibrant culture and takes us back to the era of Raja and Rani. If you want an aesthetic and luxurious look at your wedding or big day, then opt for broad and fancy Maatha Pattis. But make sure you have a broad forehead; otherwise, it will cover your eyes. Sleek hair buns or high buns are ideal hairstyles with such jewelry.

Reception is the fun day of the wedding, and there’s no way you are missing Maang Tikka. There are a variety of designs from fancy-colored stone tikkas to pearl hanging that you can wear on this day. We recommend you go with the most decent one on this day.

↓ 20 – With Open Hair

If you have a nice long and wavy here, I believe the best option would be to go for open hair. You can use some mousse or other hair products to add volume to your hair if required. If you are using the Maatha Patti with a center strand, then obviously you will be parting your hair in the middle. When such loose wavy curls are combined with a Maatha Patti, it creates a really soft, simple, and attractive look. In case you have straight hair and want a similar effect, then you can use a hair curler or even a straightening iron to create some loose and natural-looking waves. This hairstyle is also specially recommended if you are wearing a heavy Maatha Patti or if you have long hair. Check out how stunning the Bollywood actresses Amisha Patel and Priyanka Chopra are looking in this hairstyle.
