A birdcage weighs almost nothing, so there is very little pulling against the combs. For extra hold, especially with fine or very smooth hair, cross two grips in an X just where each comb will sit and slide the comb over them; your hairdresser can also add a little backcombing underneath. It works well with updos, chignons and braids. If you have a short crop or bob, our headband style, the 'Etta', may suit you better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"britten-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"britten-faq-question\"\u003eWhat is Russian net?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"britten-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRussian net is the traditional millinery veiling, recognisable by its open diamond weave. It is crisp rather than soft, and that firmness is exactly what allows a birdcage to hold its curve around the face. The net drops approximately 23cm from the combs as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"britten-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"britten-faq-question\"\u003eHow should I store my birdcage veil after the wedding?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"britten-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA birdcage keeps its shape best when it is stored loosely and never folded flat under weight, so the net is not creased out of its curve. Keep it somewhere dry and away from direct sunlight.
