About the Craft
Hair accessories have been an integral part of Indian adornment for centuries, from the flower garlands of South India to the gajras of North India. This modern interpretation comes from skilled artisans in Delhi who specialise in creating decorative hair embellishments using traditional braiding and beading techniques. The craft begins with selecting high-quality wool in coordinating colours that complement each other while maintaining individual character. Each strand is then meticulously braided by hand, a process that requires consistency and precision to ensure uniform thickness and texture throughout. The golden strand showcases classic three-strand braiding, creating a rope-like texture with a subtle shimmer. The pink strand requires additional expertise as artisans carefully thread lustrous white pearls at regular intervals during the braiding process, securing each pearl so it stays in place while allowing the braid to remain flexible. The coral-orange strand adds a bold pop of colour, completing the trio. Once the individual braids are complete, they're gathered together and attached to a durable black elastic hair tie that's strong enough to hold all hair types yet gentle enough not to cause breakage. The finishing touch is adding tassels at the ends of each braid, creating movement and bohemian flair. This entire process takes hours of patient work, with each accessory being a unique creation.
Speciality
What makes this hair accessory truly special is its ability to effortlessly blend with your natural hair while adding spectacular visual impact. The three coordinating yet distinct strands create depth and richness that a single strand could never achieve. The colour palette of golden, pink and coral-orange is universally flattering and works across seasons and occasions. The pearls add an element of sophistication, elevating the accessory from casual to celebration-worthy. Unlike rigid hair accessories that can be uncomfortable or clip-based ones that slip out, this elastic-tied design is secure, comfortable, and works with all hair textures and lengths. The braided construction means it moves naturally with your hair, creating a flowing, organic look rather than appearing stiff or artificial. It's also incredibly easy to use – simply tie your hair as usual and wrap this around your elastic, instantly transforming your look.
How to Care?
To maintain the beauty of your braided hair accessory, handle it gently and avoid pulling or stretching the braids excessively. After each use, store it in a cool, dry place, preferably laid flat or loosely coiled to prevent the braids from becoming mis-shaped. If the wool strands get dusty, gently brush them with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from water and moisture, as this can damage the wool and cause the pearls to lose their lustre. Avoid spraying hairspray or perfume directly on the accessory.
This pearls and braided cord hair accessory is where traditional craftsmanship meets modern style, offering you an easy, beautiful way to add charm and personality to any hairstyle, any day.
