Veil

From the stylist's point of view a veil is weight and an anchor point. Most veils attach to a comb that slides into the hair, and the comb needs a firm base: a section of teased and pinned hair at the crown, the top of an updo, or the back of a half-up style. Where the comb sits changes the whole silhouette, so it is decided at the trial, not on the day.

Veils range from a short blusher over the face to a cathedral length that trails behind, and from plain tulle to heavy lace. A heavier veil needs more anchoring and usually an updo; a light one can sit in loose waves. Many Gulf brides wear a veil for the entrance and remove it for the evening, so the hair must look complete both with it and without it, and the comb must come out without pulling the style apart.

Bring the veil to the trial. Hamd Beauty's bridal hair is styled and pinned to hold under a veil, and to survive its removal.
