About this collection
These braids are built to last. To achieve the volume and structure you see in these photos, I start with full head crimping and the installation of synthetic padding. This builds a secure foundation that prevents hair from falling flat and ensures heavy jewelry or fresh flowers stay firmly in place for over eight hours.
Whether you need a traditional look for a main ceremony or a modern style for a Sangeet, I design each hairstyle with structural integrity in mind.
The Process
Most clients think a heavy braid is just about the length, but it is actually about the base. I apply heat protectant and volumizing mousse before crimping every section of hair. This creates the necessary grip for pinning. For styles like the fishtail or bubble braid, I use discreet padding to enhance thickness, ensuring the look holds up through long ceremonies and dance performances.
Styling Elements
- Traditional Parandi & Flowers: For Mehendi and Haldi functions, I integrate traditional parandis, colorful threads, and fresh flowers like roses or baby's breath.
- Jewelry Setting: I specialize in the secure anchoring of heavy Matha Patti, Passa, and Jhoomar pieces, ensuring they do not pull or slide.
- Modern Ponytails: My high-volume ponytails for reception events feature advanced tonging and extension blending, finished with anti-humidity sprays to combat heat and sweat.
