How can I fix a veil?
There are various methods for fixing such a wedding attribute.
Fastening the veil to the rim
The most popular are the following:
- transparent or light hairpins, hairpins, invisible and other hair accessories of this kind;
- tiaras and headbands;
- ridges of various shapes and sizes;
- Velcro, rubber bands from silicone and crabs;
- special loops.
Advice! If a veil is planned to be worn all day, it is necessary to fix such an accessory as firmly as possible.
How to attach a veil to a hairstyle?
To determine the best option for attaching such an accessory, you need to take into account the type of veil, the length of the bride’s curls and the particular hairstyle to which the product must be attached.
Tips for mounting a veil with studs
- in the area of attachment, part of the hair should be pulled into a small tail, the base of which will then need to be pulled in;
- prepare the required number of hairpins and bend one of the “legs” in half on each hairpin;
- the long “leg” of each hairpin must either be threaded directly into the thin fabric of the product, or threaded into a special eyelet for fastening and inserted into the base of the tail.
After such actions, the bent “legs” of the studs will reliably hold the accessory in the hairdo.
Advice! Before removing the accessory, you must first unbend the “legs” of the studs directly in the hairstyle.
We fasten the veil with a comb
For light hairstyles, you can use scallops with a small number of cloves (six will be enough). For thick and long hair or for a heavy accessory it is better to use a wide product that can securely fix this wedding accessory.
If the comb weakly rests on the hair or has short teeth, it is recommended to use additional studs or invisibility to fasten such a product.
How to sew a comb to a veil beautifully?
To do this, in addition to the crest itself and the wedding attribute, it is necessary to prepare a satin ribbon of suitable width, thread and a needle.
- The product must be folded so that the veil thrown onto the face has the required length. This place should be stitched with an accordion. The length of such an accordion must coincide with the width of the scallop.
- The tape needs to be stretched through the teeth of the comb and well attached to it close to its top.
- To the tape so fixed, you now need to sew a veil.
Comb Recommendations
The width and number of cloves of such an accessory must be selected in accordance with the length of the wedding attribute, the severity and thickness of the hair and the volume of the hair:
- transparent combs or matching in color with hair - a great option for attaching a product richly decorated with embroidery, rhinestones or pearls;
- products decorated with flowers or rhinestones will help create a solemn and romantic image of the bride;
- plain or bright will bring an original twist to the image, but in this case it must be borne in mind that the monophonic scallop of a contrasting color should harmoniously combine with other elements of the image.
Important! Combs made of metal are more reliable than plastic ones.
