I use specific pinning techniques to anchor the weight of the Jadanagam and real jasmine flowers, ensuring your hairstyle remains secure and comfortable from the initial rituals to the final photograph without sagging. Creating a traditional bridal braid is about more than aesthetics. It requires a deep understanding of weight distribution and hair health, especially when incorporating heavy accessories. Whether you are opting for a classic South Indian look with a Jadanagam or a traditional Maharashtrian style with a Peshwa bun, the goal is always durability. My approach focuses on creating a solid foundation. I use humidity-resistant setting products to ensure the hair remains smooth, even in Mumbai’s climate. For styles adorned with fresh mogra or jasmine, I treat the hair to ensure it supports the weight of the flowers without pulling. I also specialize in extension blending, which is often necessary to achieve the volume required for these long, intricate braids. If you have clip-in extensions, I integrate them seamlessly into the braid, making the transition invisible. I work closely with your makeup artist and draper to ensure the hair complements the outfit neckline and jewellery placement. During our time together, we focus on the details that impact your comfort throughout the day, such as the placement of the Maang tikka and the security of your veil. My service includes the full setup, meaning you do not need to worry about the logistics of fixing the floral arrangements or adjusting pins once the look is complete. ## About Puja Palkund I'm Puja, and for me, a bridal braid is the ultimate statement piece. Whether we are weaving in jasmine or anchoring heavy gold temple jewellery, I focus on the structure so you can focus on the celebration. We will work together to make sure your hair feels as classic and secure as it looks.
