Headbands & Hair Vines

A headband sits over the top of your head in a set shape. A hair vine is a flexible strand you shape and pin into your style. A headband slips on in seconds. A hair vine takes a few pins, but it can wrap around a bun or trail along a braid.

To wear a hair vine in a braid, weave it along the braid. Pin it at both ends and in the middle. In a low bun, wrap the vine around the bun and tuck the ends in with bobby pins. Add a pin at each curve so it stays in place all day.

Yes, a headband works well if you wear your hair down. It is one of the easiest bridal hair pieces to wear with loose hair. It slips on and needs no updo to hold it. A slim headband also leaves room for a veil behind it.

Yes, a hair vine and a veil work well together. Set the veil comb first, then pin the vine just above it, so it hides the join and frames the top of the veil. In a low bun, you can also wrap the vine around the bun and let the veil fall from beneath it.

Many hair vines can be bent to shape, and each product page describes how its vine is made. If a style is wired, you can curve it gently around a bun or along a braid. Shape it before you pin, not after.

Yes, headbands suit short hair. A slim headband or a short hair vine works on a bob or pixie cut. Pin it behind your ears so it stays in place. Choose a piece that sits close to your head. Try it at your hair trial, so the placement is set before the day.

A hair vine or comb worn at the back shows best in photos from behind. During the ceremony, guests and the photographer see the back of your head for most of the vows. Detail placed there is what the camera captures.
