It is a romantic relationship that we have with flowers. From having floral prints on our clothing to the ambient fragrances that we immerse ourselves in, room fresheners to embroidery and more, we cannot have enough flowers, can we? Flowers are very innate and feminine, and this is what often inspires us to tuck a bud or two into our hair as well. Indian women are known to decorate hairstyles with flowers. And this is not just for a bridal look, but given a chance, we would wear flowers in our hair every day.
Down south, we find a lot of women wearing flowers in their hair almost daily, and it is a popular tradition too. If you are fed up with the normal hairstyles and accessorizing of hair, it is time you thought about hairstyles with flowers. This would be a new mode of hairstyling for sure and would give off a very vibrant and a fancy look, or maybe an ethnic one too. Depends on how you style hairstyles with flowers and carry them.
How To Decorate Your Hair With Flowers:
- You can use real flowers or artificial ones on the hair. Decide if you want to go with updos, buns, topknots or plaits, and then tuck your flowers in it.
- When doing an elaborate hair decoration, use a mix and match of flowers, like small and big. The color contrast and the shape of the flowers should be right, and should be in line with what you wear too. You can also add leaves to the hairstyle as well, which will help enhance the beauty of the hairstyle.
- Using artificial flowers are very easy. They do not wither at all and would look fresh for a very long time. However, if you do plan on using real flowers, the species of flowers that you should think of using are- Gardenia, daisy, lily, peonies, and orchid to name a few. These flowers last long and look very pretty with the flower hairstyle you chose to wear and flaunt.
- Cut off the stems of the large flowers when you use them and keep the stem size not more than an inch. You should also use a strong U pin for the flowers to insert into the hair, in the areas where the hair is thick. For intricate details, using smaller flowers would be good and get them fixed with tiny beaded pins.
- Never use hairspray on the flower hairstyle once the look is complete. They can destroy the flowers because most hairsprays have polymers in them, and the freshness of the flowers would be lost.
So here were some tips on how to use flowers for a flower hairstyle. Now let’s take a look at some flower hairstyles.
Braided Flowers:
Braided flowers would be one of the simplest flower hairstyles that you can do. For this, you would need an inch-long stemmed flower, since they would be embedded into the hair that is braided.
Steps by Step Process:
- Start by taking a small section of hair from the front and do the three-strand braiding.
- When a few overlaps are done, you then can place the first flower onto the braid directly with the stem inside the hair.
- Overlap a section of the hair over the stem, so that it is hidden.
- Go ahead and do more overlaps and continue doing so until you reach the end of your hair with more flowers in alternate overlaps placed.
- Tuck the flowers into the braid with a strong U-pin and you are done!
