About this collection
When I create a traditional poola jada, the focus is entirely on structural integrity. I use high-quality 30-40 inch extensions to build the base, combined with specific wiring techniques to secure your gold jada billai and fresh flowers. This ensures the braid doesn't sag or loosen under the weight of the accessories during the long rituals of your wedding day.
Building Your Bridal Look
Creating a traditional South Indian bridal braid is more about architecture than just styling. Because these looks often involve heavy temple jewellery—like jada billai and fresh jasmine gajra—the braid needs to be strong enough to support the weight without dragging.
My process involves:
- Structural Base: I start by integrating high-quality extensions to provide the volume and length needed for a clean, thick plait.
- Secure Attachment: I use professional-grade pinning and wiring methods. This means your flowers and gold ornaments are individually wired into the braid rather than just clipped on, which keeps them from shifting while you are moving or sitting for hours.
- Saree Draping Coordination: Since your hairstyle and saree drape are part of one visual flow, I also handle your Kanjeevaram draping for a sharp, clean finish. Getting the pleats and the hair-to-saree connection right is what makes a look feel polished.
What You Need to Know
- Preparation: I travel to your home or venue anywhere in Bangalore. Please ensure your hair is washed and clean before I arrive, as I do not provide hair washing services.
- Supplies: I bring all the professional tools, sprays, and extensions needed to build the structure. You are responsible for providing the fresh flowers and the gold jewellery pieces you want integrated into the braid.
- Durability: The styles I design are intended to last through the entire ceremony, including the heavy-duty pinning for the saree. If you are planning an elaborate reception look after the wedding, let me know in advance so we can factor in the styling time.
