Types of Scallops for a Wedding Veil
Depending on the volume of the hairstyle, the thickness and severity of the hair of the hero of the occasion, the length of the veil, the number of teeth of the accessory and its width vary. For light weight hairstyles that do not have a special splendor, scallops with a small number of teeth are used - as a rule, six are enough. If the girl is the owner of thick long hair, and her veil is heavy, it is necessary to use wide scallops that will tightly fix the accessory.
