Did you know that migraines and the pain, nausea and visual disturbances associated with them affect between 15-23% of the adult UK population? That's up to a quarter of us! Did you also know that migraine more commonly affects women?
As someone who has to work hard to avoid migraines myself (I can still clearly recall the awful affects that wearing a fixed plastic headband had on me as a child), just the thought of wearing a hair accessory on my wedding day that's designed to stay in place by pinching on that sensitive part of skin behind the ears, makes me feel unwell!
And it's because I want you to be able to wear your Glorious by Heidi wedding headpiece comfortably all day long and well into the night, that I design my wedding crowns, and full bridal headpieces, on flexible wires.
So, what are 'flexible wires?'
These are individual lighter gauge wires that I twist over each other and then wrap with another fine gauge wire, to create a base that your wedding hair accessory will sit on.
Unlike a fixed, hard, metal or plastic headband of the type you'll see many full wedding hair accessories using, Glorious by Heidi headpieces stay in position by being pinned into place through discreet pin loops that sit to the back of the flexible wire base. You or your hairstylist can simply thread a couple of regular hair grips through these loops and into your hairstyle to secure your hair accessory into place.
Your Glorious by Heidi headpiece will also be supplied with ribbons that can be used to tie your accessory into place for extra security, or simply removed if you'd rather not use them.
Even if you aren't a migraine sufferer, you'll find that a wedding day hair accessory that's set on flexible wires will be lighter and much more comfortable to wear than one that stays in place by pinching tightly behind the ears. And that means that wearing your wedding hair accessory through your wedding ceremony, during the wedding breakfast, the speeches and while you get to moving your body on that dance floor will be as pain free as it should be!
And another bonus to wearing a wedding headpiece set on flexible wires...
The flexible nature of Glorious by Heidi headpieces means that they can also be worn as a neck piece, giving them a life way beyond your wedding day, making them both sustainable, and stunning! Win, WIN!!!
It's important to me as a wedding accessory designer that you not only look glorious on your wedding day, but that you feel glorious too, and that means feeling comfortable and thereby confident.
