How to Wear a Birdcage Veil with Natural Hair

In my wedding planning efforts, I will admit I haven’t thought much about whether or not I want to wear a veil, or what kind of veil I’d wear. After all, I haven’t even set a wedding date, let alone figured out what to do with my hair! Luckily with the Natural Hair Bride Box, I’ve gotten some help jumpstarting the beauty brainstorming for my big day. Since the first inaugural box contained a birdcage veil, I gave it a go with a roll, tuck, and pin like updo that can be modified for various hair lengths!

To achieve this look, I twisted up freshly co-washed hair (with Eden Bodyworks All Natural Cleansing Cowash) using Eden Bodyworks All Natural Curl Defining Creme with my new favorite braid, twist, then bantu knot method. In my mind, I wanted some curl definition to create a curly bang, similar to this style:

Wanna know how I did this makeup look? Check out this video.

Unfortunately my hair didn’t dry fully so curl definition went out of the window, but at least my hair was nicely moisturized and pliable. I did a series of criss cross/folds of hair in the back to create a basketweave, bobby pinning as I went along. In the front, I two strand flat twisted my hair to create a twisted bang. If that sounds confusing, don’t worry, there’s a video below!

I bridal-ized (lol) the updo by adding the birdcage veil from the Natural Hair Bride Box, and some flowers by Flowers from Fatima to make it even more romantic. Here’s what you’ll need to get the look for yourself.
