Everyone dreams of looking irresistible on one of the most important days of their life. On the wedding day, not only the dress, but also the bride’s hairstyle is important. It should highlight the natural beauty of the face as much as possible and be combined with the rest of the outfit. A delicate hairstyle accompanied by a thin veil of a veil is a win-win combination that will charm your future husband.
Features of choosing a veil for a hairstyle with long hair
The main advantage of long curls is you can use them to create almost any hairstyle. Making romantic waves, pulling them back, braiding them in an airy braid - all this will not be a big problem. Besides, long hair should hold the veil well. Listen to a few rules to ensure that the veil fits seamlessly into your look:
- With an updo, a veil of any length looks great. It can be attached both under the “shell” and on top, covering the entire head or barely covering the neck;
- With loose curls, a veil longer than your hair looks best. For example, with shoulder-length hair, the veil can reach the waist and even go lower. This combination will look as organic as possible and will only decorate you. A veil shorter than long hair usually looks very awkward;
- For voluminous styling, choose a weightless veil, and for smooth hair, we recommend purchasing a fuller model.
Advice! The most important rule for choosing a veil is that it should match any element in your outfit. Based on this, when preparing your look, follow this sequence: choose a dress and accessories, then find several hairstyle options, and then go for a veil. You can try on the veil with approximately the hairstyle that you want to see on yourself on your wedding day.
How to decide on a hairstyle to suit your face?
Any styling should emphasize the advantages of the face shape and hide disadvantages:
- Girls with a round face are recommended to curl their hair into light waves, but not leave them loose, but pull them back into their hair. Large loose curls visually expand the face and make facial features larger. An elongated veil will help to stretch it out;
- pronounced square cheekbones can be smoothed with a fluffy hairstyle and a delicate shoulder-length veil;
- Almost any hairstyle suits oval and triangular faces. The main thing is not to weigh down your facial features, so give preference to light textures.
Important! With the help of a well-chosen hairstyle with a veil, you can not only correct your facial features, but also your figure type. For large breasts and problems in the abdomen and waist, choose a long flowing veil. “Hourglass” will balance hair pulled into a voluminous hairstyle and a short veil.We advise plump ladies to abandon long and curvy models in favor of a small veil.
How to do hairstyles with a veil for long hair
Before creating a wedding hairstyle, it is important to take care of the cleanliness and well-groomed hair. Wash them, comb them thoroughly and dry them with styling products. Options for the most popular hairstyles are offered below.
Babette
To create a beautiful and laconic babette, you need to make a small backcomb at the roots and collect the hair in a ponytail on the top or back of the head. Place a foam roller under your ponytail and curl your curls under it. Don’t forget to secure everything tightly with pins or bobby pins.. Place a flowing light veil on them. This can be done both above and below the babette. This hairstyle should be generously sprayed with hairspray.
Shell
The second version of the pulled-back hairstyle is a romantic shell. At its core, it is made in the same way as babette. There are several features:
- the tail should not be pulled straight at the back of the head, but with a slight shift to the side;
- then you will have to carefully twist your hair, not down, but to the right or left. Stylists and hairdressers recommend experimenting with variations and twisting the shell also diagonally or changing direction. The result is a very feminine hairstyle that, if carefully secured, will last the entire evening and even night.
Curls
A win-win option for any festive event is light curls. No need to twist small curls — Soft waves are ideal for a wedding. They can be created in several ways:
- using a special round curling iron;
- straightening iron. It can also be used for curling.To do this, you need to pick up a strand, twist it one turn and slowly move the iron down;
- wrap on curlers.
In any of these methods at the end, carefully comb the curls with a comb or use your fingers to make them look natural.
Greek
A Greek style hairstyle is a great option for romantic people. Its main difference is the presence of delicate curls, braids braided to one side. A good addition to the image of the Greek goddess is a headband made of fresh or artificial flowers, a headband with shiny stones, and a small tiara.
With a bang
Fashionable bangs are back in trend again. Oblique bangs look fresh and stylish when worn with airy curls. Loose waves look great combined with a small braid, worn like a hair hoop.
If you are the owner of straight bangs, then straighten them with an iron, and take the rest of your hair into a laconic bun or shell. A fluffy veil will add volume. Please note that it should not be pinned next to the bangs.. It will cover all the beauty of the styling. Attach it at the back of your head or right above your bun.
With added flowers
On a warm summer day, you can add fresh flowers to your wedding dress. You can either attach them to a bun of curls or weave a beautiful wreath. It is even worn over a veil. It is important that it is not attached to the top of the head, but below, near the neck. The wreath looks especially cute if the wedding takes place outdoors, for example, at a recreation center.
With tiara
A small crown makes you feel like a real princess. The tiara fits equally well with both smoothly combed hair and delicate loose curls. The veil itself can also be attached to a tiara pin.
What hairstyles suit the length of the veil?
The hairstyle and veil should always be combined with each other and complement each other. The choice of hairstyle should largely depend on the length of the purchased veil.
To short
A short veil fits well with a dress with well-defined volume in the hip area. For example, a model with a corset and a multi-layered full skirt. A short and fluffy veil in this case externally balances the appearance. For the same reason, she has become a favorite among women with an hourglass figure. Under a short veil or net length that reaches the chin or shoulders, make light curls and gather them back into your hair. It is also perfect for those with bangs.
To the middle
With a veil just below the shoulders, it is recommended to wear your hair pulled up or styled with braids and other weaves. If your hair is longer than the veil, then in this case it should definitely be collected. It looks more aesthetically pleasing when the hair is shorter than the veil decorating the head.
To the long
For owners of a long model, choosing a hairstyle should not be difficult. Almost any hairstyle can be combined with a light and flowing veil.:
- loose curls;
- smooth, pulled back bun;
- openwork braids;
- voluminous weaving raised to the back of the head.
The only exception: avoid top buns and other very high and full hairstyles. Paired with a long veil, it will look old-fashioned. Everything in your look should be romantic and tender.
To multi-tier
A multi-tiered veil looks very voluminous, so it is recommended to combine it with a smooth hairstyle, such as a shell or a bun. The two-tier model can be easily worn with complex braids and braids in the Greek style.
To a veil of an unusual shape
Modern brides very often refuse a veil in the usual sense of the word. Instead they wear, for example, a small veil on a hair hoop or a light mesh is attached almost above the neck. Laconic buns and babettes go perfectly with such models. Curls gathered in a ponytail are also worn with a romantic veil.
