A little about the traditions and meaning of the comb
The wedding comb is a fairly ancient household item for Slavic beauties. It was not just a hair accessory, but a kind of amulet for its owner. It has long been believed that it has powerful magical powers, affects female energy, and protects against damage and the evil eye.
Young girls, dreaming of quickly marrying a worthy man, combed their hair with a comb, and their wish certainly came true
Married ladies could wish for themselves in this way the improvement of family life or the birth of a healthy child.
Our ancestors considered the comb a talisman. Modern brides mostly prefer to see this accessory as just an element of hair decor.

How to choose a comb to suit your style
The comb should be purchased or crafted last, after creating the overall image of the bride. If possible, you should choose an accessory in the same salon where you purchased the outfit. This way you can better assess the overall appearance of the bride’s entire image. Depending on the method of decoration, the combs are:
- One of the most popular motives for creating a unique design is floral. The material for creating the decoration can be anything, the main thing is that it contains floral elements;
- metal combs, which are decorated with beads and various rhinestones. Most often these are asymmetrical or proportional patterns. The difference between this design lies in its strict appearance;
- combs in the form of a tiara, which have a strict triangular shape and are used either as a comb to maintain a high hairstyle, or as a tiara to create the desired decorative effect. Most often, decorations have strictly proportional decor.
There are also models of combs that are decorated exclusively with rhinestones and stones. When choosing them, it is worth remembering that such options create a certain massiveness to the image. Therefore, when choosing this method of decoration, it is important to think over the overall image of the bride so that it looks balanced.
Another subtype of combs are designer options. do not differ from the previous ones in their unusual design style. They can be created using any material or shape, as well as decoration method. Most often, these models are made in a single version to order. The only style of image for which you should not choose this type of decoration is classic. A traditional comb without unnecessary frills will suit it.
In addition to appearance, wedding combs differ from each other in such characteristics as reliability and workmanship. It is also important to take into account what function the comb will ultimately serve: supporting or only aesthetic, serving as an elegant decoration.
Headdress for the bride
Wedding hats
Hats are an excellent replacement for the traditional veil. They can be wide-brimmed, tablet-shaped, with or without a veil
It is important to choose this accessory correctly. It should match the dress, height and age, emphasize the shape of the face
So, wide-brimmed hats with a veil are suitable for girls with round faces, and flat hats for narrow-faced girls. Curvy brides should avoid small hats; miniature ones should prefer hats with small brims.
Diadem
Wreaths are created using hoops and rims on which flowers are attached. Live ones are used, but artificial ones are preferable. Modern technologies for making flowers make it possible to create them life-like. For this purpose, various materials are used - satin, silk, openwork fabrics. Flower arrangements are decorated with rhinestones, pearls, and beads.
Veil
When using a veil, you should remember that it must match the dress in material and length. There are several options for such products: shell, classic and others. Each one has a different length, cut, and fastening. The veil goes well with a veil; you can decorate it with stones or secure it with a diadem or tiara.
Bridal scarf
This headdress is used by real coquettes. The scarf can be tied on the head in different ways. Some prefer to create the image of a pirate girl, while others prefer to create the image of a romantic prude. In fact, a scarf, like a veil, is tied and attached to the head independently or with the help of hairpins or invisible pins.
Additional tips for choosing a bridal comb
The variety of comb models is so great that it seems as if any decoration would suit any look. However, it is worth remembering that the bride’s wedding image consists of little things. When choosing a comb, you should pay attention to the following details:
- what style of dress the bride will be wearing, and what additional decor is included in it. Such details become the starting points for choosing hairstyle decorations, which should be in harmony with the overall image;
- If you have other decorations, it is important to remember the basic rule. The more massive they are, the less noticeable the crest should be;
- The style of the bride's chosen hairstyle is also very important. There are models of combs that are suitable only for loose hair, while buns or high hairstyles will look at least ridiculous;
- It is also worth considering the nuance of placing a comb decoration on your hair. It can be placed either on top or on the sides, or in the center of the composition;
- When choosing a large comb, it is important to analyze whether it follows the curves of the head or not. If the comb does not follow the curves of the head, then it is possible that its ends will stick out from the hairstyle, and as a result the image will look unfinished and careless.
With the right choice of comb, the bride’s wedding look will look stylish and unusual. Combs also help add femininity and some mystery to the image. In addition, some brides believe in the magical power of the item, so when creating an image they take into account a number of details. So that in the end you will have not only a stylish decoration, but also powerful magical protection. A wedding comb can have several functions and be an excellent addition to the main image of a young bride.
Veil combination
Naturally, most brides cannot imagine decorating their heads without a veil. It is an important accessory that cannot be ignored. And the comb will be a great addition to it. There are several ways you can use a veil and comb together in your hair:
- Secure the veil with a comb. This option is suitable for bunches. Hook the accessories on top of the bun, and if it is made at the top of the head, then secure them under it.
- On collected hair, place a decorative comb on top and a veil on the bottom of the bun.
- If you chose loose curls, like a “malvinka” hairstyle, then add a light transparent veil to the beautiful comb at the back of the head.
You can add a veil to any hairstyle with a comb. Most of these decorations are attached to each other, and are even immediately sold in this form. Try different positions to secure them to find a way that works for you.
Wedding jewelry for hair of different lengths
The length of your haircut may influence which wedding hair accessories you choose. And if absolutely everything is suitable for owners of long and medium hair, then for short hair you will have to look for wedding accessories.
Before you start choosing jewelry for the bride's hair, be sure to consult with your stylist. A professional will tell you which accessories will look best. Come to our salon or open the online catalog of wedding hair jewelry and enjoy the selection!
Our store makes sure that the assortment always includes goods for the bride, made in different styles and from different materials. Therefore, you will certainly find exactly the attributes that suit you.
Nuances and tips
The size, purpose and shape of the comb depends on the chosen hairstyle, and only then the material and color of the product.
The comb is created both to decorate the hair and to secure it. Therefore, if the second point is important to you, then choose a suitable accessory with long, frequent and strong teeth. Then you will keep your hairstyle for more than one hour and will not hamper your movements. When you fix the accessory on your head, test it so that it does not fly off, but at the same time does not put pressure, thereby creating discomfort for you.
If you cannot find a suitable comb in stores, then turn your attention to handmade masters. They often offer similar DIY items. Or you can order jewelry from them to suit your taste. But you can create the product yourself. There are video instructions to help you with this.
Combs are mainly chosen to decorate long and medium hair. Brides who have short hair above the shoulders can use this accessory only for decorative purposes. For example, by decorating your hair with it or picking up a few strands on the side. Then buy scallops that are not very large and neat.
Choose the color of the decoration so that it emphasizes the trim on the dress or is neutral, white, metallic, beige. An exception may be combs with fabric flowers. They will complement the rustic style well. But their shade should be delicate, for example, pink or blue.
Attention! Pay attention to the combination of a comb and a veil. An accessory decorated with large stones suggests a lush and fairly long veil. The same applies to tiara combs. And add a suitable veil to the modest decoration.
What types of wedding combs are there?
Centuries later, the comb has not lost its popularity, and it is especially in demand among brides. The range of these accessories in stores is so wide, so when choosing, difficulties often arise.
The main difference between combs is the material from which they are made; the strength and cost of the decoration directly depend on it. It could be:
- metal (copper, cupronickel, aluminum, as well as precious silver and gold);
- wood of various species;
- plastic;
- natural bone.
The price of a comb primarily depends on the quality and strength of the material. Products made of gold, rare wood, and carved bones are the most expensive.
The decor of the product for the bride is also of no small importance, and sometimes even determining the choice. Combs are formed:
- stones and pearls;
- beads and seed beads;
- fresh and artificial flowers;
- rhinestones and other decorative elements.
Hair decorations also differ in size and number of teeth. This is a very important factor; it must be taken into account so that the comb can fulfill its functions of decoration and fixation. Miniature products will not hold the strands, but will help create an elegant and laconic hairstyle.
A separate group should include diadem combs, which in appearance resemble a crown. Brides often choose the image of a princess, and such decoration will come in handy.
With tiara
The tiara wonderfully complements the wedding look with loose hair, and in addition, it can additionally support it, preventing unruly strands from falling on the face. Nevertheless, you can’t do without varnish and invisible ones.
The shape of the tiara can be very diverse - a flirty little crown, a butterfly or flower, a crown of leaves or other patterns, a classic, strict headband.
Whatever you choose, the main thing to remember is moderation - such a chic decoration does not really tolerate competitors. Therefore, if you have a tiara in your look, it is best to complement it exclusively with a veil and not add other large decorative elements to your hair and face.
Options for wedding hairstyles with combs
The most interesting options will be offered below.
Shell
The advantage of this design is that it can be done on both long and medium strands. The presence or absence of bangs is not specified. A shell will look ideal if the girl has a round oval face, since hair secured in this way visually lengthens it. At the same time, there are no restrictions on the use of this hairstyle.

Advantages and disadvantages
Almost any literature on hair care says that for gentle combing you need a comb, preferably a wooden one. What are its advantages:
- Ideal for any type and length of curls.
- Does not injure the hair structure and scalp when combing.
- Does not electrify curls.
- Constant use of a comb promotes increased hair growth.
- It has a pleasant smell that turns the combing procedure into an aromatherapy session (for example, oak/juniper material).
- It lasts a long time.
There are combs made from other materials, which also have their own advantages:
- A comb with sparse thick teeth, made of rubber, is simply indispensable for combing wet hair after washing.
- The bone material does an excellent job of detangling strands, does not injure them, has a pleasant smell, and leaves the hair shiny and not electrified.
- A carbon comb is indispensable for gentle backcombing.
- Silicone is used when dyeing hair; it does not react with the oxidizing agent/dye.
- A metal comb is convenient for separating strands and creating a perfectly even parting.
It is difficult to name any serious shortcomings of the comb. These include:
- Not everyone is comfortable using this item.
- Bone combs, for example, those made from buffalo horn, are expensive and quite fragile, and a broken accessory can damage the hair structure or scalp.
- It is not easy to fix it on the hairstyle, because it needs to be fastened (it is made from bobby pins or a small spikelet is braided under the hairstyle, into which the teeth of a comb are then inserted).
This accessory has many more advantages than disadvantages.
Buy or make it yourself?
Wedding hair combs are sold in almost every metropolis. St. Petersburg, Moscow, Volgograd - all these cities are literally filled with wedding accessories, including these. If there is no ridge in your small town, you can go to the big one to get it.
If the dress was made to order, and you simply cannot find the desired comb model in stores, then there is no need to get upset so quickly! In any store you can find a regular accessory and a lot of decorative items. Then you can make a wedding hair comb with your own hands.
At the same time, the choice of decorative products is so wide that choosing details that will match the dress will not be difficult. The rest is a matter of technique. You just need to carefully glue all the decorative elements to a regular comb. The main thing is to do everything carefully so that in the future not a single flower or bead comes off, and no dried glue is visible from under it.
Laying on one side
Asymmetrical hairstyles are in fashion today. Chic, beautifully laid curls on one side add uniqueness and romance to the look. They look great in combination with dresses of a lush type or with an open neckline. This justifies its popularity among modern brides.
For asymmetrical curls, large combs must be selected. Otherwise, they will get lost among the splendor of the styling. In the case when the hair is styled in such a way that the ears are visible, it is better to choose earrings with a decor similar to the comb. The hairstyle on one side can be styled in different ways:
- low-set curls add tenderness and prettiness to the image;
- collected strands and pinned high like the Greek style brings majesty and solemnity.
An asymmetrical hairstyle can contain more than just curls. There are other types of styling that can provide the proper volume. One of them includes different types of weaving. It should be noted that at the present time, braids occupy a leading position. From them you can create quite a lot of different and unsurpassed compositions. For example, a French braid.
This hairstyle is decorated with a comb located at the top and complemented, if appropriate, with artificial or real flower buds.
Main types of combs
It is worth noting that the comb has not lost its popularity as a wedding decoration even after centuries. Wedding stores have a huge number of options for this decoration. The main thing that is important to pay attention to when choosing a comb is the material it is made of. The better the quality, the more expensive the product itself can be. Traditionally, the following types of combs are distinguished:
- metal, including gold or silver;
- natural wooden specimens;
- plastic combs;
- natural ivory jewelry options.
The most expensive are gold combs, as well as those made of natural wood or ivory.
When choosing combs as a wedding decoration, you should also pay attention to the decoration of the element. This criterion may have the following options:
- decor using pearls and stones;
- decoration with beads;
- decoration using rhinestones and other elements.
Also, such elements differ from each other in size and number of teeth. If the comb will have not only a decorative, but also a supporting function, it is very important to pay attention to these criteria.
It is worth remembering that products of miniature sizes with sparse teeth are unlikely to become a support for a hairstyle, but they will fit perfectly as a decorative element.
A separate category includes combs, which in their style resemble tiaras or crowns. This style of combs will fit perfectly into the princess look that brides often choose for their celebration.
A little about history
The comb was invented thousands of years ago. It was a barrette with teeth, which was used both in everyday fashion and on special occasions. They also combed their hair, but chose wood products. Among the ancient finds there are many similar accessories that were decorated with precious stones and made from precious metals. The Spanish comb was especially popular. It was used to create voluminous hairstyles with a veil.
Interesting! Beautiful wedding hairstyles can also be achieved with flowers and a tiara. Be sure to pay attention to them.
A few more important nuances of choosing a comb
A wedding hair comb is an accessory, the choice of which sometimes becomes a really difficult task. For example, if the bride liked a specific copy on the Internet, and she makes a model to order, it is best to either redraw it or print a picture from the Internet. The more clearly the girl’s desire is presented, the higher the chance of getting the desired model.
It is important to understand that the final result of the hairstyle may differ slightly from the previously planned option. To avoid major disappointments, you can first make the desired sketch on paper. It is also important to know a number of other nuances:
- a comb located in the center of the head can visually lengthen the face;
- to distract attention from facial imperfections, the comb can be placed on the hairstyle on the opposite side of the defect;
- if the decoration will also serve as a support for the hairstyle, then you should choose a model with strong and frequent teeth;
- if you need to fix a complex hairstyle with a comb, you should choose a decoration option made of durable material;
- You should not choose materials that will obviously hold your hair unsteadily or create an electrifying effect on your hair.
It is also worth considering the hair color and its combination with the decoration. Contrasting teeth showing through the hairstyle will not look very aesthetically pleasing. It is also worth remembering the importance of harmony in the image; you should not choose a comb that is too different in decor or material from the main image of the bride. Otherwise, the image will look unaesthetic.
For Greek hairstyle
A hairstyle in the Greek style is suitable for both an everyday look and for a wedding or prom. Jewelry for a Greek hairstyle will add romance and elegance to a woman’s look. Properly selected accessories will complement the bride's or graduate's outfit.
Greek hairstyles have several variations, the most popular among them is the hairstyle with a bandage. This accessory can be made of velvet or silk and is usually decorated with flowers, bows or rhinestones.
Another popular accessory for styling in this style are headbands. According to stylists, multi-layered head decorations look especially stylish and beautiful.
Flowers are also often used to create Greek-style hairstyles. For example, a hairstyle in this style, such as the “Greek bun,” looks incredibly beautiful and stylish.
You need to do it like this:
All hair should be combed well and curled along its entire length, using a straightening iron. You should get not small curls, but large beautiful curls.
When all your hair is already curled, you need to make a straight parting and gather the strands into a low, loose bun, securing it with decorative hairpins.
You can leave a few curls on both sides of the temples so that they beautifully frame the face.
The hairstyle is ready, now you can decorate it with hairpin flowers.
How to use a hair clip for short hair
At first glance, it may seem that combs are not suitable for short hair, but this is not at all true. They look great with both smooth styles and voluminous curls. Solving the problem with fastening is not difficult - a small, inconspicuous braid, tightly woven to the head, and the teeth are firmly fixed in the hairstyle. A comb attached to the side, wrapped in short, mischievous curls, simply looks great.
Criterias of choice
Before purchasing, you should think about the purpose of the scallop. It is unlikely that you will be able to find a universal option, so having identified a specific goal, you can go shopping.
Criterias of choice:
- The size and shape will help determine its intended purpose (for home or business travel).
- Preference should be given to natural materials.
- For thick and curly hair, a tool with large and long teeth is more suitable.
- Short haircuts will benefit from a short-toothed comb.
- Wooden products should be those made from hardwood.
- For coarse hair, it is better to choose a product with bristles.
- The bristles are also suitable for the drying process.
- The tips of the teeth should not be sharp.
- The selected product should be tested by running it through the curls several times.
- Check the integrity of the teeth and base, and the flexibility of the material.

Main tasks and functions of ridges
There are some girls who don’t really believe in the magical properties of combs. But even they fully consider it as a possible decoration for a wedding look. In addition to protection on the energy plane, the ridge has several other useful functions:
- serves as a reliable fastening for any wedding hairstyle;
- creates an aesthetically pleasing image of the bride.
The ridges have common functions, but may differ from each other according to various criteria.
Shell
Quite often lately, brides have been giving preference to such a seemingly simple hairstyle as a shell. And not in vain, since there are many variations of this hairstyle, and each of them is original and is a real work of art.
It can be placed either on the top of the head or on the side. Or even create a composition diagonally. This hairstyle highlights the girl’s neck, so it will suit everyone. The image will gain sophistication and grace.
A current accessory for decorating a shell is a comb, which will not only decorate the hairstyle, but will also additionally fix it. In this case, it would be appropriate to complement the decoration with hairpins with pearls or rhinestones; fresh flowers are often used.
Experts note that a shell can be created from hair of different lengths. On medium-length hair, you can perform a relaxed version. When your hair is curly and you want a certain order on your head, use a hair straightening iron.
Types of combs based on the presence of decorative elements
In addition, several types of decoration are used on the combs, according to which all decorations can also be combined into groups:
- Floral decoration. This group includes combs decorated with all kinds of leaves, flowers and other plants. At the same time, it does not matter at all what material the comb itself is made of, nor the material used to create jewelry. So, there are combs with flowers made of clay, fabric, metal, beads and other things. An accessory of this kind will emphasize the elegance and modesty of any bride.
- Metal jewelry with stones, pearls and beads. If a girl is most suited to a classic or even a little strict look, then such a wedding hair comb will come in handy more than ever. In this case, it does not matter at all what materials it will be made from (be it cheap rhinestones or natural stones). A sophisticated and shimmering product will be a wonderful addition to a festive outfit.
- Rhinestone jewelry. A wedding hair comb, shimmering in the sun with all the colors of the rainbow, will make any bride’s look even more elegant and solemn. Such jewelry looks great with a veil or veil.
- Tiara jewelry. Combs of this type are suitable for girls who find it difficult to make a final choice about their hairstyle. A tiara attached to the hair will become an original decoration, turning the bride into a real princess.
- Special models. This category includes scallops, which are decorated with the most unusual products. For example, this includes combs with a cute, miniature hat, as well as products with intertwining chains. Such scallops have recently become in great demand. After all, more and more often young people are organizing extraordinary celebrations, with unusual stylistic directions.
A girl can easily make each type of scallop on her own, because their design is completely simple. Only a homemade decoration will make the hairstyle unique and inimitable and will indicate the creative nature of the bride. Another division of scallops depends on the number of cloves. Thus, on sale you can find jewelry with both two teeth and a whole row. In this case, the choice of product depends entirely on the chosen hairstyle, on its intended purpose (decorative or restraining) and on the thickness of the girl’s hair.
Which accessory to choose
This is not to say that the accessory is suitable only for certain dresses, makeup and wedding style. It is selected for almost any occasion that takes into account feminine style. Therefore, let’s look at different images and scallops that will suit them:
- Metal combs with precious stones are suitable for brides who choose a classic look. Discreet makeup, collected hair and an elegant, tight, floor-length dress. Style worthy of the Hollywood red carpet.
- Tiara combs are suitable for both loose hair and buns or babette hairstyles. Lush dresses for real princesses, a veil and a special event - this is what is definitely associated with such an accessory.
- For a wedding in a rustic style, when the bride makes a choice in favor of modesty and lightness in her outfit, a comb with flowers and leaves is suitable. It can be metal, fabric and even plastic or wood. The main thing here is how it is decorated. This option is good for modest events with friends and closest people.
- Bright combs with rhinestones will be indispensable at lavish weddings, when the bride wants to be the center of attention. A dress with a voluminous skirt and expressive makeup are included.
- Scallops of unusual shape. Wedding fashion does not stand still, so new types of this decoration appear. There are products with intertwining chains and unexpected decoration, for example, in the form of a small hat. This option is suitable for you if you are having a themed wedding, but you need to think through all the details so that this accessory fits the theme.
Making a comb for a wedding with your own hands
Some girls, following the desire to create a unique image, often create combs with their own hands. Making them is not so difficult, but the result will exceed all the expectations of the young bride.
Necessary materials:
- base for combs;
- thin wire;
- beads and other decor;
- scissors.
As you can easily guess, thanks to the base, you can only show your creative imagination by creating a unique comb for your celebration. Watch the video for a master class on making a comb.
Types and characteristics
Now there are several varieties of Greek styling. And although in the modern interpretation they somewhat modified the original features, they still retained the general idea:
Greek knot. Volume bun at the back of the head. In the front, the hair is separated with a traditional straight parting, and the strands are curled. Perhaps the most popular Greek hairstyle, which has several variations.
"Karimbos" ("korimbos"). It is the same knot, but made low on the back of the head.

Recommendations for preparation and implementation
Good news for lovers of hairdressing experiments: Greek styling can be done not only in the salon, but also at home, in front of your favorite mirror. If you are not confident in your own abilities, ask a relative or friend to help you. It would be useful to study the basic tips for creating such hairstyles:
- Hair should not be freshly washed. But dirty curls won't do either. It is optimal if you wash your hair about a day before you plan to do Greek styling. Girls whose hair quickly gets dirty in the root zone, as well as those with short haircuts, can skip this point.
- When planning to curl your hair, treat it with a heat protectant. Transform straight hair into flowing curls using curlers, curling irons, hair dryers with diffusers, etc.
- To make your hair more voluminous, backcomb the top of your head.
- Prepare the necessary equipment and accessories. In addition to a brush, comb, hairpins, bobby pins, and elastic bands, you will need Greek-style jewelry. For example, a headband or headband that looks like a beautiful weave, or a strip of fabric that has a design on it, etc. They are easy to put on because the bottom part is usually an elastic band.
- For especially special occasions, a tiara, accessories with beads and rhinestones, a brooch, as well as fresh flowers, etc. are suitable.
- The elastic bandage should not be very tight, otherwise red marks will remain on the skin and normal blood circulation will be disrupted. But don’t buy too loose a decoration that doesn’t fit well on your head and barely holds your hair in place.
- It is optimal if the headband is made of natural fabric, because synthetics glide over the hair and electrify it.
- For long curls, a wide decoration is suitable, for short ones - a narrow one.
- The headband and headband should be in harmony with the color of the clothing and differ from the shade of the hair. You can also buy one to match the color of your hair if you want to disguise the accessory. Classic - pastel colors, gold and silver.
- If, according to your idea, the decoration will go through the middle of the forehead, choose a smooth ribbon without beads, etc.
- A bandage that does not fit well on the head can be fixed with the help of invisible ones.
- Styling products will help make your hair more durable. Treat your hair with foam or mousse or spray the finished style with hairspray.
Instead of buying a headband for a Greek hairstyle, you can make it yourself. One simple option:
- prepare a piece of cotton fabric of the required width. Its length should be 2 times the circumference of the head;
- twist the strip into a rope and fold it in half;
- twist tightly again;
- Tie the ends on both sides with knots.
If desired, decorate the ribbon with beads, beads, and rhinestones. You can weave laces into it or make a “spikelet”: form a three-strand braid from 3 stripes.
