Best 5 Gorgeous Jasmine Flower Hairstyles
With its white blooms and pretty fragrance, the Jasmine gajra gives an elegant finish to your hairstyle and acts as the perfect festive addition to your outfit. Here are some gorgeous Jasmine flower hairstyles that you can easily make at home and steal the thunder.
1. Classic Jasmine Gajra Bun
Jasmine gajras are the easiest and classic hairstyle that suits almost everyone. Secure the gajra around your bun with the help of hairpins and elevate your overall look. You can easily create this hairstyle in minutes and look regal.
How to do it?
- Firstly, brush your hair and tie it up in a ponytail that is low or high based on personal preference
- Now simply twist it and wrap the ponytail into a bun shape
- You can also use the bun pad/artficial bun for additional volume
- Then secure your hair bun with U-pins
- Hold the gajra at the base of your bun and wrap it in a circle
- Lastly, pin the gajra and hair together with a juda pin to secure it
2. Jasmine-Adorned Braided Hairstyle
The braid with jasmine flowers adds an impressive traditional element to your festive style, as the fragrant white flowers complement dark hair nicely. You can use jasmine flowers either in the braid or in a garland tied around it.
How to do it?
- Firstly, make a neat, regular three-strand braid or a fishtail braid
- There are two ways to put gajra in that braid. You can either just lay the gajra on the braid, from top to bottom, or use a strand of gajra as part of the braid
- To make it even more attractive, you can also add a few rose flowers at the tip of your braid
3. Half-Up Half-Down Jasmine Hairstyle
We suggest taking a break from traditional buns and braids. Leave your hair open or tie it in a half-up, half-down hairstyle. To accentuate the look, add jasmine flowers to your pinned hair to give it a festive look that is elegant and modern.
How to do it?
- Part your hair into two parts: the top and bottom.
- Either make a bun of the top half or just tie it into a ponytail
- Take a short gajra and either wrap it around your half bun or make it fall on your half ponytail
- Curl the rest of the bottom half of the hair a little, and you are done
4. Jasmine-Wrapped Ponytail
If you are looking for some easy-to-style, modern, and low-effort hairstyles to try out this festive season, then a ponytail wrapped in jasmine is a fresh, modern and Gen Z take on a simple style. It keeps your hair off your neck, which is a big plus during a long day of pujas, visits and photo sessions.
How to do it?
- Tie your hair into a mid or high ponytail
- Now use a strong elastic rubber band and make sure that it is tight enough to hold the gajra strongly
- Either wrap the gajra around the base of the ponytail or just lay it off
- If you are making a bubble ponytail, then wrap a small gajra piece in between the bubble
Pro Tip: Use some serum to control your baby hair
5. Jasmine-Accented Open Hair Hairstyle
The most appealing and OG hairstyle is to leave your hair open and put a pretty gajra strand in the middle. This is also one of the easiest hairstyles that doesn't take much time.
How to do it?
Either blow-dry or curl up your hair in soft curls
Part your hair on either side, in the middle or whichever way you like your hair
Take a small section of hair from near the temple on one side, and twist it back
Pin the gajra on that twisted part and secure it with the U-pins or bobby pins
Lastly, spray a light hairspray to keep everything intact
