asian bridal plaits — Bridal plait and braid ideas.

Traditionally South Indian brides wear their hair in a very long plait adorned with fresh jasmine flowers which just smell heavenly. Mehndi and sangeet nights are also wedding events where I find many brides like to keep their hairstyles traditional with long braids. I’ve created a few designs for those wanting something a little different yet still keeping the feel of the traditional three strand plait.

fishtail plait — Classic fish tail plait.

pony and skinny rope braid — Skinny winding rope braid.

ropebraid — Classic rope braid, this can be made much thicker by adding in more hair for a fuller braid.

Multiple rope braids for an interesting textured braid.

ruffled rope braid — Ruffled rope braid for a more fuller braid with a softer more casual look.

Some brides like to wear these type of plaits/braids on the traditional wedding day when their head is covered and the long plait it pulled over the shoulder and decorated with flowers or hair jewels like the pictures below.

rope braid 1 — This loose ruffled rope braid can also be place to the side and pulled over the shoulder so its visible from the front for when the hair is covered or simply to just frame the face.

To simplify the flower decorations use rose buds instead of the fully bloomed flower, or mix together like in the picture above.

braid 2 — Multiple hair pieces allow you to create interesting shapes that can be incorporated into the braid for something different.

Long braid 1 — Weaving plaits together can create an intricate looking braid.

fishtail braid — A more fuller loosely plaited version of the fishtail plait – also called a two strand plait.

Loose chain braids draped down the length of the hair and loosely gathered half way.

Excellent. Tina provided hair and makeup for a family wedding and the bride was very happy with the looks for all her functions. Puntual, reliable and friendly, I highly recommend.

Tina is a very talented hair and make up artist. We hired her services for my daughters prom in 2016 and again recently for my younger daughters prom in June 2019. My daughter was very fussy and stressed about how her hair and make up would look. Tina is a very calm and easy going person and came to do a trial several months in advance which gave my daughter some peace of mind. On the day, her make up and hair was perfect, she loved it and was awarded Prom Queen...so thank you Tina as the hair and make up were the definitely the crowning glory.
