About this collection
Braids and ponytails for wedding events need to be both photogenic and durable. I use micro-crimping for volume and professional setting sprays to ensure your style remains intact through hours of dancing and photos. Whether we are incorporating fresh flowers for a Mehendi look or using extensions for a sleek cocktail ponytail, every detail is secured to handle movement and heat.
Why Choose Braids and Ponytails for Your Wedding Events
For pre-wedding events like Mehendi, Sangeet, or Haldi, you want a hairstyle that keeps hair away from your face while you participate in rituals and dance. My approach combines traditional Indian aesthetics with modern techniques to ensure your look is practical and elegant.
My Styling Process
- Volume & Base: For many of these styles, I start with full-length micro-crimping. This provides the necessary grip and volume that standard blow-drying cannot achieve, ensuring your braids or ponytails do not sag.
- Secure Fixation: I use professional-grade products like Schwarzkopf Osis+ or TIGI to provide humidity resistance. For ponytails, I use specific layering techniques to ensure they stay high and tight for 6 to 8 hours.
- Accessories: I am experienced in working with fresh flowers like baby's breath and orchids, as well as modern accessories like ribbons, sparkling clips, and extensions. I ensure that these are pinned using invisible techniques so they look seamless.
Customization for Your Event
- Mehendi & Sangeet: I focus on textured styles that can handle floral jewelry and movement. I can create Dutch braids, fishtail variations, or textured ponytails that look great with traditional outfits.
- Reception & Cocktails: I transition into sleeker, more polished looks. Think high, sleek ponytails that highlight your makeup and jewelry, perfect for a modern cocktail gown or a sequined outfit.
I travel across India for destination weddings. If you have a specific vision or an outfit that requires a particular hairstyle, tell me about your event timeline, and I will recommend the best style to keep you looking perfect from start to finish.
