Getting all excited and nervous as D-Day is approaching and so much to do in little time. Out of so many things to handle for your wedding preparations, hair is something that usually gets your preparation attention at the end but we are here to look after that, after all, your hair is something that has the power to transform your bridal look, so why not keep the perfect idea ready in advance. Fashion comes full circle, so it seems like the Gajra is back. Hence, why not try wearing Gajra instead of hair ornament or style both together. We are here to help you out by helping you as we’ve come up with more than 15 Gajra Hairstyles that you can simply flaunt on your D-Day.
1. The Minimal One String Gajra
Let’s start with a simple way which though simple but looks graceful. It’s what we term as ‘Minimal One String Gajra’. The Gajra is circled around a bun. The reason we term it as minimal is that it does not require much work, you just roll it in a circle shape around the circumference of the bun that you’ve tied as your hair and requires just one string. Isn’t it simple yet elegant at the same time.
2. The Gorgeous Gajra Bun
The next is the Gorgeous Gajra Bun. As the name suggests it is a Gajra which is in a bun shape. The reason we say bun shape is because it covers the hair bun that you have made from your glorious hair. It can be made from a long string or a few small strings to cover the bun. It can act as a substitute for hair-based ornament.
3. The Popular Hanging Gajra
Thinking of going old school with hair makeup, why not let loose the Gajra by letting it hang, you can do it with Mogra as well. It’s hard to go wrong with traditional looks. You can either let it hang at the back or you can pull it in front from both the left and right side. If paired with a hair ornament it looks beautiful.
4. Play it Full Length
You can take it forward by wearing a full-length Gajra that is pinning it at the top of the hair and taking it till the ankle or knee-length. Preferably, the latter is in an ankle-length as you might trip and fall and anywhere otherwise. This idea is unique and special as it gives you a beautiful diva-look.
5. Add some color with white
Want to add color if you think all white is too dull? Add it with red roses or perhaps other colorful flowers. The red roses and the white Gajra go extremely well together, that your guests may say that “the Gajra with the red roses seems like they were meant to be together and one can get confused as to who the couple is” pun intended.
6. Lets Go Floral
You can try Floral Gajra, just make it all flowery, the good part is you have so many options. You can make it thematic as well or create combinations and choose one that suits your outfit the best.
7. Place it Diagonally
Modernize the Gajra look by doing a side-parted look. When we say side-parted, it’s more like a diagonal look where you take it from the top right-hand corner and tie it up at the bottom left corner. The reverse could also be done. This might need just one string which is about one hand. The measurement of Gajras is done by a measure of hand.
8. The Half Gajra
You can also modernize the Gajra look by going semi-circle or as some people like to call it as Half Gajra and it can be worn with a low bridal bun. If you believe you are a trend-setter you can totally rock this look since it’s still not as popularized as others mentioned above.
9. Gajra intertwined with Bun
If you want to do something that is almost something that the public eye has never seen, try the Gajra within a bun that seems like it is intertwined with your bun. To tell about how it looks it’s something like the previous one which is semi-circle. However, more like intertwined and one end of it is slightly lower than the other.
10. The Grand Gajra Look
If flowers are something that interests you, go all flowery with the Gajras let your back of the head feel like a garden. The smell of Gajras is something that many people love. What better way to be complimented not just for looks but the fresh Gajra smell that the Gajra is oozing out?
11. Wear one as a Rubber Band
Have always wanted to look different but not too different. Why not wear the Gajra at two places that is behind as a portion of hair and at the bottom near the braid to seem like instead of a rubber band it is the Gajra that has tied the braid. It would require at-least two strings, one for the head and the other for the braid and since the braid can be brought forward you can get to see the compliments through people’s reaction from the front instead of guessing who might be complimenting you from behind.
12. Make it part of the Braid
How about going all the way from the top to the bottom in a braid manner and instead of three portions of hair make it two and the third one is the Gajra to make it look like the Gajra is just an extension. It would look like one part is hair and the other part is the Gajra, more like a Criss-Cross between the hair and the Gajra.
13. Stringed Gajras
Too common for your eyes or imagination to think of stringed Gajras, How about let the string remain but the placement of Gajras be that the petals are in equidistance of each other and the space is visible between each petal. You could even switch Gajra and go for Mogra instead.
14. Netted Gajras
Since we are talking about Gajra being in equidistance, why not try the netted Gajras. These Netted Gajras can be either worn in a bun or a braid which gives a covering like a net. It looks amazing and who knows your husband may want to fall in the trap that you have set by wearing the netted Gajra and sigh a relief as it is mission accomplished.
15. Let’s create Fusions
Now that we have spoken of these many styles, why not try and fuse some of them for example, create a bun and braid of your hair and fuse the simple with either braid or the netted one, that is create a circumference with one string around your bun and another string can act as one of the portions of hair when creating braids.
16. The South Indian Style
When it comes to Gajras who better to look for inspiration than your South Indian friends / colleagues. Gajras and South Indians are like Bread and Butter / Jam or as men would want to say Car and Petrol / Diesel. They may have many ideas like covering the whole braid with the Gajras as if to make it look like your hair is made of these amazing Gajras and smell so awesome.
17. Gajra Bunch
18. Gajra Interwind In Open Hair
19. Half-tie with a strand or two
