Bridal Hair Comb with Crystal and Pearl Accents for Updos

Floral metal with crystal and pearl finish

Floral metal with crystal sparkle

The base is electroplated metal, so it has a polished shine rather than a dull wire look. Clear crystals are set across the floral head and catch light from every angle as you move.

Fine teeth that grip hair

Fine metal teeth and a flat back let the comb sit close to the head. Slide the teeth in along the hair, then angle it so they catch the pinned layers underneath.

Silver or gold to match

The silver version pairs clear crystals with champagne pearls. The gold version adds sapphire-blue centre stones, a good match for a richer or jewel-toned palette.

Pin it in with four steps

1. 1
   Pick the spot

   Choose the side, back or crown of the updo where you want the focal point. Side placements read best in photos.

2. 2
   Tuck the teeth under

   Slide the fine teeth in flat along the hair, teeth pointing toward the underlayer of pinned hair.

3. 3
   Angle until it sits flat

   Tilt the comb gently until the teeth grip underneath and the flat back lies close to the head.

4. 4
   Check it in daylight

   Turn your head and check the sparkle in natural light. Adjust once more before the veil or final touches go on.

From bare updo to finished look

The updo that looks unfinished

Your hair is pinned, your dress is chosen, and the style still looks bare in the mirror. Plain pins slide out or look thin, and you start checking the back of your head every hour.

The piece that finishes the look

This comb sits at the side or crown and becomes the focal point of the updo. Layered metal petals, clear crystals and cream pearl clusters read as one jewelled piece rather than a scatter of pins.

Sparkle that stays put

The fine teeth slide under pinned hair and grip the underlayer, so the comb stays where you set it from the ceremony through the first dance. The stones keep catching light all evening.

Keep the sparkle through the big day

• Apply products first

  Put on perfume and hairspray before you place the comb, then let them dry.

• Keep chemicals off the stones

  Direct spray can dull the plating and cloud the crystal and pearl finish.

• Store it separately

  Keep it in a soft pouch or its own compartment so the stones do not scratch.

• Wipe dry after wear

  A soft dry cloth removes oils from the metal and keeps the shine even.

Why this, not bulk pins
