Wearing and Caring for Bridal Hair Vines

Appealing, stylish and eye-catching, these are the words that can best describe hair vines. They are flexible hair accessories, adored by many brides. Usually, these vines are made from wire intertwined with other details like crystals and pearls, but over the last few years, these vines have also been available with leaves on them for a more rustic and vintage look. Most of them come with a little loop at either end, and maybe a few along the vine, which allows you to pin them to your hair. They are available in a selection of lengths, colours and designs, giving you the freedom to browse through an entire range in order to find what you are looking for.

Unlike tiaras and crowns, which need to be placed in one place only, these hair accessories can be placed anywhere on the head, which allows them to be paired with a selection of hairstyles, giving you the freedom to experiment with them.

Ways to Wear Them?

Attached to a Low-Updo

One of the most common uses of these versatile bridal hair vines is around a low updo. Depending on the style and type of updo you want, you can secure them across the hairstyle both vertically and horizontally. Keep in mind that for this hairstyle, you won’t need a long vine, so make sure to choose a shorter version.

Across the Forehead

If you are into the Boho, rustic and vintage-inspired hairstyles and wedding themes, then you should certainly consider the idea of wearing the vine across the forehead. You can either pin it on both ends or tie it with ribbons at the back. For those of you who are into rustic and Boho style, you can always choose a detailed vine with smaller leaves and crystals in between to add a bit of sparkle. However, choosing one that is a combination of pearls and crystals is also acceptable. Regardless of the type and model you choose, make sure it’s simple and not overpowering because that way you won't look too much, and you’ll risk ruining your look.

Wear It on One Side

Are you familiar with hair combs worn on the side?! If so, and you happen to like it, choosing bridal hair vines is a much better option as they are lighter and won’t weigh down your hair.  Adding detail to one side of your hair can certainly add interest to your style, so why don’t you try it?! The best thing is that wearing a vine like this goes both with the hair up and down. In case you are wearing your hair down, you could try sweeping it to one side and pinning the vine. This will add a touch of sophistication and glamour to your overall look.  

Around the Back of Your Head

As you can already know, wearing a vine around your back is popular in lower updo hairstyles, however, it also isn’t strange seeing one worn with your hair down or in a half-updo. Instead of wearing it across the forehead, you can wear it at the back for a more stylish and improved look.

Weaved in a Braid

The last but not least way you can wear a vine is woven around a braid. These hairstyles are both romantic and stylish, perfect for the romantic souls. Speaking of romanticism, aside from choosing ones with both crystals and flowers in between, for adding a touch of romance.

How to Care for Them?

One of the greatest things about these vines is that, unlike tiaras and crowns, they can be used multiple times for several other purposes, which makes them one of the most versatile bridal hair pieces. But just like with everything else, in order to use them, you’ll need to take good care of them. With proper care, you can expect to have them and enjoy wearing them for a long time. In order to do this, you should do the following:

Store Them at the Right Place

In order to avoid tangles and damage to its crystals, pearls, leaves or flowers, you should store them in their original packaging. Ideally, you should store them in a soft cloth placed inside a jewellery box for greater protection. When storing them, avoid bending them, as this will ruin their shape and appearance.

Clean Them Properly

Regardless of the type and material of the vine you have invested in, cleaning it after each use is important for keeping it in perfect shape. Ideally, you should take a clean, soft and dry cloth and gently remove any residues. This is important for keeping its shine.

Keep Them Away from Moisture

In order to preserve their appearance, colour and shine, you should keep them away from water and humidity.

Clean Them Professionally

From time to time, take them to a professional jeweller and pay for cleaning the vine properly. This will help you keep all details intact.
