What does a printed crown look like up close?

Sharp. The feathers, the face and the scrollwork are sculpted in fine detail, and the color runs through the whole piece, so it will never chip or fade. Look closely and you'll find the faint lines where each layer was laid down, like the grain in carved wood, and here and there a small mark from finishing. Those are the signature of a printed crown, not a flaw, and no two are exactly alike. Anything more than that, a loose comb or a crack, is covered by Lifetime Care.

How does it stay in?

Two seven-tooth combs press into the back of a half-up, a low bun or loose waves and hold the crown on their own. For dancing, or a long day, loop a styling elastic onto the concealed anchor point at each wing tip and slide a bobby pin through it into your hair. Elastics and pins come in the box, and the Wearing Guide shows every step.

Which hairstyles does it suit?

Three we love. A twisted half-up, the simplest, with a hint of woodland magic in natural waves. A braided half-up: braid a small section from each side, join them at the back, and set the crown just above where they meet. A rope twist, which does the same on curls and textured hair. It sits just as well across a low bun or loose waves, in straight, wavy, curly and coily hair.

How big is it, and will I feel it?

About 6 inches across and 3¾ tall, enough to span the back of your head without crowding it. Printed as one solid piece, it’s sturdy, and at under 2 ounces it’s light enough to wear all day, from the ceremony to the last dance. Set it once and you’ll forget it’s there until someone asks where you found it.

Which finish should I choose?

All seven are the same sculpted crown, printed in the finish you choose, with the color running through the whole piece. Midnight is matte black. Snow is pure white. Dawn is a soft rose gold. Honey is a warm peach. Moonlight is a pale silver grey. Willow is a muted sage green. Copper is a rich metallic copper. Pairs and trios can mix finishes or repeat one.

What if it isn't right?

Send it back. Returns are free within the U.S. for 30 days of delivery: email us, we send a prepaid label, and the refund goes to your original payment method within 5 business days of the crown reaching us. Every order ships tracked, free in the U.S., and a flat $35 to Canada and 48 other countries. If a comb ever loosens or an anchor point breaks in normal wear, Lifetime Care repairs or replaces it, free. See Shipping & Returns.

In the box

  • Your crown, in the finish you chose
  • Styling elastics
  • Two bobby pins

An owl in flight, wings swept wide and sculpted to curve along the back of your head, as if it had just landed there. Every raised feather catches the light as you turn, from a candlelit handfasting to a sunlit faire lane, in seven finishes from matte Midnight to soft Dawn.

It rests above a twisted or braided half-up in straight, wavy, curly and coily hair. See the Wearing Guide.

What customers say

Customers say the Woodland Owl looks even better in person and is sturdier than they expected. Many bought it for weddings, handfastings and Ren Faires, or as a gift. These reviews are of our first, painted finishes: a few found the paint darker than pictured, and some waited on the painting, which is why the printed finishes are coloured through the piece and ship in 1–2 days.
