A wedding hairstyle without adding magical notes to the decor will not be able to give the bride’s image elegance, grace and modernity. Nowadays there are quite a lot of such decorations, and each of them brings its own nuances.
A wedding hairstyle with a comb is one of the simplest options, but at the same time it enlivens the styling in an original way and suits almost any style, as the design of the accessory is varied. You can find products decorated with rhinestones, beads, pearls, seed beads and other materials.
Low buns
One of the most versatile wedding hairstyles that can be created using a comb is the low bun. For girls with long and thick hair, it will not be difficult to style a bun of any shape.
Otherwise, special rollers are used to create volume. For those with medium-length hair, extensions are available for sale, which can also be successfully used to lengthen hair. The advantages of styling with a low bun are as follows:
- an indispensable option for hair that does not curl well;
- in inclement weather it will not lose its shape, since the hair is secured with pins and covered with a fixative.
Please note that quite a lot of bobby pins and hairpins are used to create the bun, which can make styling more difficult. The location of the beam can be different: at the back of the head or a little closer to the crown. This is determined on the basis of the selected dress style and the features of the oval face. For example, if you choose a mermaid-style outfit, then it is better to place the bun higher. For an A-line silhouette, you should choose a low volume bun. And for a dress in the Greek style, a low bun, styled with an elastic band.
This style is decorated with a comb, placing it at the upper base of the bun, which brings elegance, femininity, freshness and originality to the newlywed's image.

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.
Purpose of scallops
Depending on the purpose of use, this accessory can be divided into the following types:
- combs designed for combing curls;
- combs decorating hairstyles;
- hair combs that perform multiple functions.
Combs, which are used as hair decorations, have a decorative effect. Their shape is curved, and their height is equal to or greater than their width. The teeth are sparse and long.
Combs that perform several functions are used for combing curls and as hair decorations.
With such a product you can easily collect the strands, and if necessary, unravel and smooth them. Hair combs of this type must be durable.
For daily use, girls usually prefer compact versions without a handle, made of wood or plastic. They are very convenient to put in your purse. In order not to damage the items in the bag and the teeth of the comb, you should put it in a case.
Loose curls
A comb that decorates a hairstyle with loose curls looks interesting. This accessory not only highlights it favorably and secures the strands well, in any desired place. This styling can emphasize feminine notes and naturalness in a girl’s image.
It suits the owner of any face type well and goes well with all types of wedding dresses. In addition to all the listed advantages, a hairstyle with loose curls can simply be done at home.
Simply curl your hair with curlers, then fluff out the curls a little with your fingers and style them the way you prefer. The upper strands can be combed a little to give additional volume. Particular attention is paid to bangs:
- If the parting is in the middle, then it is laid on one side, creating a large wave on both sides. In this case, the comb is fixed in the middle. It is better if it has the shape of a tiara.
- In the case when the hairstyle is done with an oblique device, the bangs will be laid to a greater extent on one side. It is on this side that you need to attach a comb, which will support the volume and add originality.
In the case when it is decided to fix the curls at the back, they are collected in such a way that the strands fit loosely around the top of the head and are fixed at the back with hairpins. Then a comb is inserted from behind at the upper base of the curls. In this case, the decoration must be of an original shape in order to attract attention.
Its design may contain pearls, rhinestones, and Swarovski stones.
Types of combs
A comb can have 3 purposes:
- Comb.
- Decoration.
- Barrette.
Let's take a closer look at the types of this hair accessory:
- Combs. Their teeth are short but very frequent. For a comb to serve well, it is made of durable materials, for example, plastic, wood, metal. Used both at home and in beauty salons. They can be of several shapes: wide, long narrow, with a “tail” handle that helps to separate the hair into strands. For personal use, women most often prefer wooden, less often plastic, combs. They do not damage your hair, and they are convenient to take with you.
- Decoration for a celebration/wedding. This comb has infrequent, but long teeth, and on the base there are various decorative elements, which actually serve as decoration, complementing the beautiful appearance of the hairstyle. It is very easy to use. To use this hair accessory, you need to carefully stick it into your hair, in the place where its decorative part will look good. Decorations on the combs can be very diverse, from cute beads to real fresh flowers. At weddings, experienced hairdressers, when doing the bride's hair, pin the veil with this accessory. This is a fairly effective and reliable method.
- Multifunctional hairpin. This is a special comb, equipped with teeth on both sides, in the center of which there is a decoration. This hairpin not only brings beauty to the hairstyle, but is also the main way to secure it. In addition, you can easily comb your hair with it, because the fixing accessories are quite strong. So it turns out that with the help of such a comb you can immediately create one hairstyle, and when you get tired, loosen your curls and comb them right away.
- The Spanish version is payneta. Today it is not produced and therefore not used by people. This decorative element can only be seen as a museum exhibit. This accessory is quite long. It should only be worn on top of the head, strictly in the center. Nowadays, the Spanish accessory is often used for themed events, filming, and photo shoots. Women always wear Peineta when they receive an audience from the Pope, as well as at traditional weddings and some holidays.
Of all the types of combs described above, any fashionista will be able to find a convenient option for herself.

- wire 0.3 mm;
- transparent and white beads 8 and 4 mm.
To make a comb, you need:
- Secure the wire to the comb by wrapping it around it.
- String large white beads onto the top.
- Using wire, secure large transparent and smaller white beads in the form of a branch. To do this, you need to thread beads into the wire in the sequence white-transparent-white. They need to be raised along the wire 4 cm from the ridge. At the same time, it should be scrolled so that the beads do not move (about 10 turns). Next, you need to create a new petal of the product in the same way. There may be 5-6 petals on a branch. Make 4 more branches.
