Your Quick Guide To Wearing Floral Hairstyles

Floral hairstyles are some of the prettiest hairstyles on this planet!

Not only do they look absolutely gorgeous, they're also really romantic and divine! You can wear them to spice up a casual outfit or to glam up an already elegant attire. You can wear them to the movies, to parties, to family events, and even to weddings. You can also wear them on hangouts with friends or even to romantic dates with your significant other.

Before you start doing floral hairstyles though, here's a quick guide on how you can pull them off properly.

1. Pick out the best flowers to match your hair

There are all sorts of flowers and colors to choose from, so choose wisely! If you prefer using fresh flowers rather than synthetic ones, it's best to use "something with a sturdy stem and strong petals that won't wilt and look sad, like orchids or gardenias", according to hairstylist Italo Gregorio in his interview with Allure. Definitely avoid heavy ones like tulips and roses. Yes, yes, we usually see roses in movies and cartoons placed behind ears, but in reality, they're quite heavy and are more prone to breaking or falling.

You can also choose flowers based on their meanings. For example, violets mean modesty and faithfulness, while camellias mean gratitude. Jasmines symbolize sensuality and hibiscuses embody delicate beauty and sensitivity. Meanwhile, gardenias mean secret love, so if you're planning to ask your crush out this coming Valentine's Day, you know what to wear on your hair!

2. Avoid wearing other attention-grabbing patterns

Floral hairstyles are already a fashion statement all on their own, so you should avoid wearing other attention-grabbing patterns when you're wearing flowers on your hair. Patterns to avoid include glittery designs, sequins, plaid, checkered, and other heavy patterns that can take the attention away from your hair. Flaunt your floral hairstyle, girl!

The best outfit to wear when you're donning a beautiful floral hairstyle? The simplest one you can think of. Think plain white dress, maybe a pastel shirt and shorts, or perhaps a pair of casual jeans. There's a reason why floral styles look so good at traditionally 'white-colored' events like weddings, you know.

3. Curl your hair for the best floral hairstyles

While you're free to wear floral hairstyles regardless of your hair type, these kinds of hairstyles or hair accessories do look best on non-straight hair, just because they look better on hair that has volume–something traditionally straight hair normally doesn't have. Your hair doesn't even have to be super wavy or curly; it just has to be non-straight to make the best use of this hairstyle.

If you've got straight hair, no worries! You can always use the ZALA 4-in-1 cosmo curling wand to achieve the best curly or wavy look for your hair.
