Combs & Clips

Bridal combs work best in updos, low buns, half up styles and side swept looks. A comb needs hair to anchor its teeth, so gathered styles hold it best. If you wear your hair fully loose, a clip or headband often stays put more easily.

Keep a bridal comb secure by anchoring it against a base of crossed bobby pins or a small braid. Slide the teeth over the pins so they grip. Push the comb in against the direction of your hair, then flip it back so the teeth lock.

Choose a bridal comb for an updo, a bun, or the side of long, side swept hair. Choose a clip for half up and loose styles. A comb slides in and holds with its teeth. A clip snaps shut on a small section of hair. Decide on your hairstyle first, then pick the piece.

Yes, you can wear a comb and a veil together. Set the veil comb first, at the height you want the veil to fall from. Then place the decorative comb just above it, so it hides where the two meet and frames the top of the veil. Check both from behind in a mirror before the ceremony.

For a side swept hairstyle, place the comb or clip behind your ear on the fuller side. Angle it with the sweep. That keeps it visible from the front and in profile. Our Petite Pearl & Floral Clip is shown in a side swept style.

Yes, a bridal comb can hold in fine or thin hair with some prep. Add texture spray to your hair first. Then create a small base of crossed bobby pins for the teeth to grip. A slim comb with fewer teeth often sits better in finer hair.

With a comb worn at the back of your hair, bold long dangle earrings pair well. The comb keeps the sides of your hair clear, so the earrings have room to move. Match the metal finish of the comb and the earrings.
