Jasmine Hair

Princess Jasmine Hairstyle

Inspired by Disney's Aladdin

This Princess Jasmine hair style is inspired by the "puffy ponytail" as seen in the Disney movie, live plays, and books on Jasmine from Aladdin.  This isn't meant to be an exact replica of the original hairstyle, of course...but rather our take on it. Cartoon hairstyles can be difficult to recreate on real hair sometimes!   

 As you can see, right now the Princess has fairly long hair (like Jasmine) which worked out well for this hairstyle.  You could definitely create a similar look with shorter hair though.  I actually had our "short hair girls" in mind when we were re-creating this hairdo!  You may have noticed on the original style, the "puffs" in the ponytail actually start down lower on her head (at the top of the ponytail itself.)  We placed our elastics up higher on her head. So, if you don't have as much length to work with, you can still get a few "puffs" in before you run out of hair.  ;) 

We wanted to keep this hair style simple and quick.  But, if you have the time and you like to braid....In the hairstyle pictures below is a more intricate Jasmine hair variation, as another option. We braided the ribbon headband into the style using a 4 strand pleated ribbon braid across the top of her head for this variation.

The main reason we decided to make a Jasmine hair tutorial this week is that we recently attended a live performance of Disney's Aladdin and the Princess was very excited to wear a Disney Princess Hairstyle to the musical!

To complete this hairstyle you will need:

• A ribbon, headband, or scarf.
• Several small elastics (the amount will depend on the length of your hair, we used 9 total.)  The brand we used is "Goody Ouchless."
• 5-10 minutes.
• Love for Disney Princesses!

Jasmine Hair Tutorial:

This would be a very cute hairstyle to wear if you are planning on going to Disneyland, Disney World, or an Aladdin show. This would also be a great addition to a costume if you are dressing up as Jasmine or a genie for Halloween or other occasion!

If you are into the Disney Princess thing, we have done a few other Disney inspired hairstyles in the past which can be found here:
