The Best Braiding Styles for Weddings & Special Events — From My Chair to Your Big Day
Updated: Oct 9
If you have been following along with my journey, then you must have read some of my blog posts especially— the one where I said braiding chose me and healed me — you already know this is not just hair for me.I started braiding when I was going through a lot. Braiding kept my hands busy and my heart calm. So when a bride sits in my chair and says "Fafa, I trust you with my wedding day," ... ah, that hits different. I don't take it lightly at all.So for all my 2026 brides, birthday girls, and event girlies — this one is for you.
My top 5 most requested event styles:
1. Goddess Knotless with Boho Curls
My brides LOVE this. It's soft, it's romantic, it looks amazing in photos. And yes, I use Master Mix / Featherless hair so it's not heavy on your head. You will dance all night.
Half Fulani Braids Half Sew-In Weave
That front Fulani detail is what makes it look royal, and the sew-in back gives that full, natural bounce for photos. A bride can wear this for traditional wedding on Friday and still rock it for white wedding on Saturday.
3. Stitch Cornrows into Low Bun
For my simple but classy ladies. No too much noise. Just neat, sleek, and it will last the whole weekend.
4. Soft Locs / Boho Locs
For my bold babes who love dreadlocs but don't want the commitment. This style is lightweight, beautiful, and it can keep you throughout your wedding season — from bridal shower to honeymoon. You can switch styles up and we do offer styling throughout your wedding season.
5. Miracle Knots curls
Because why choose one? Half sleek, half soft. Perfect for birthdays and baby showers too.
When should you book? Please don't wait!
Brides - please, 4 to 6 weeks before. I need time to do consultation properly.
Bridesmaids / Guests - 2 to 3 weeks.
Birthdays / Shoots - 1 to 2 weeks, but weekends go FAST. My Sundays are always gone first.
About price:
I know everyone wants price list. But event hair is not one price. It depends on length, hair type — synthetic, master mix or featherless (like the one in the picture I showed you). That's why consultation is FREE. Just DM me a picture of what you want and I'll tell you honest price. Deposit secures your date.
Listen, I will not rush your hair because it's your big day. I block enough time so your edges are safe and you leave happy.
