Haku lei is a type of Hawaiian lei that is worn on the head. It is typically made from various fresh flowers, foliage, and other natural materials woven together into a circular or semi-circular shape. The flowers used in a Haku lei can vary depending on the occasion and the availability of flowers. Common flowers used in a Haku lei include plumeria, orchids, hibiscus, pikake, and maile. Other materials, such as ferns, leaves, and grasses, can also be incorporated to add texture and interest to the lei.
