Creative Braids and Ponytails for Mehendi and Sangeet
Braids are the ultimate vibe for pre-wedding functions. Whether you want an intricate gota patti weave for your mehendi or a chic bubble ponytail for the sangeet, I create styles that stay put through every twirl.

About Creative Braids & Ponytails
Let's be real about braids—they look stunning, but weight is a genuine factor. If you are planning a heavy, long-line braid with lots of gota patti or fresh flowers, it adds up. I always advise my brides on the best way to secure these so you aren't pulling your hair all night while you are busy dancing.
When it comes to pre-wedding events like the haldi or mehendi, comfort is just as important as the look. I love working with braids because they are incredibly versatile. For a traditional mehendi, we can go heavy with a gota patti braid or intricate floral weaving using baby's breath and seasonal flowers to match your outfit. If you prefer something modern for your sangeet, a bubble ponytail is a fantastic, trendy option that keeps your hair off your face while you hit the dance floor.
My approach is to never force a style. We always look at your natural hair texture and face shape first. If your hair is fine, we might need extensions to add the volume needed for those thick, pull-through braids. If your hair is prone to frizz, I suggest specific prep techniques before we start weaving to ensure the braid looks sleek and polished, not messy, by the end of the ceremony.
I also love DIY accessories. If you cannot find that perfect piece to match your lehenga, I often whip up creative hair accessories on the spot during our session. Whether it is a waterfall braid for a boho look or a heavily accessorized bridal braid that makes a statement, my goal is to give you a hairstyle that reflects your personality. Shaadi ka time means your slot matters, so I make sure we are efficient without compromising on the quality of the work.
