20 Gajra Hairstyles You Can Pull Off With Any Indian Outfit
So, when we started looking through Pinterest and Instagram to give you inspiration for some amazing hairstyles, we literally got obsessed with gajra. Who thought that something as simple as gajra can be used in so many different and beautiful ways? Well, here are some ways in which you can incorporate gajra in your hairstyle – bridal and non-bridal.
Gajra Bun Hairstyle
When you consider accessorising your hair with gajra, what is the first hairdo that comes to mind? Buns…and why not? Buns go with any outfit you could possibly wear to a wedding, including sarees, suits, shararas, and lehengas. They are extremely simple to pull off.
Messy Side Bun Hairstyle
One of the most loved gajra hairstyles is this messy side bun hairstyle. This is such a versatile hairstyle as it gives you the perfect opportunity to play with hair accessories and hair colour. So make a messy side bun with gajra tied around it with some accessories of your choice. Best part? You can sport this look on any occasion!
Heavy Gajra Braid Hairstyle
Want your hairstyle to capture people’s attention & look all OTT? This is the hairstyle for you! You can either make a simple braid or tie a fishtail braid and cover it heavily with white flowers all over.
Half Moon Affair
With a Banarasi saree, this gajra bun hairdo will look absolutely stunning. Get a messy bun hairstyle or a braided bun like the one in the pic, either with or without a centre parting and dress up your juda with a gajra in the shape of a half-moon.
MyGlamm Recommends: MyGlamm Superfoods Onion & Moringa Serum
This one's a great shine-inducing serum that uses a targeted blend of vitamins, extracts, and natural oils. If you’re on a quest to nail a gram-worthy braided hairdo, this is the product to call on.
Bun Wrapped With Baby Mogras
In order to give your bun a more dressed-up appearance, you can use the gajra to completely enclose it rather than just a string. Try this at the next wedding you attend to turn heads. In this one, the addition of baby mogras looks so fresh and new. Try this wonderfully scented hairdo with a lehenga, sharara, or saree.
Circle It Up
A single or double-stranded gajra can be wrapped around a regular bun for those who like to keep things simple and classy. Both a low, sleek bun and a sloppy bun with gajra work wonderfully for that festive look. These gajra hairstyles complement Banarasi sarees so well.
MyGlamm Recommends: MyGlamm Superfoods Mangosteen & Avocado Hair Mask
Another coined hero, this hair mask works to deliver long-term nourishment to damaged hair while simultaneously smoothing frizz and adding shine. Yup, you’ll get real salon-level results without bleeding your bank account.
Jaalidar Mogra To The Rescue
Another easy yet lovely method of using gajra to adorn your bun is as seen in the picture. Make a lovely gajra net and use it to embellish your bun. Instead of going completely white, you can even use colourful gajra.
MyGlamm Recommends: MyGlamm Superfoods Cacao, Coffee & Coconut Hair Mask
A conditioner cannot do the job of a mask, and that’s why investing in the latter is an essential part of any thoughtful hair-care regimen. This mask is infused with superfoods like coconut as well as coffee to nourish and repair dry and damaged hair. Enriched with the goodness of cacao to reinstate the long-lost lustre of your tresses, it retains their natural moisture balance too.
Braided Gajra Hairstyles
Don't worry if you don't want to wear your hair in a bun but still want to use a gajra! You can even braid your hair and add a gajra to beautify it.
Hair Clip Gajra Braid Hairstyle
Have you ever thought you can style a gajra like a hair clip on your braid? Well, it’s a hairstyle that’s been the talk of the town and is sure to gather a lot of attention. You can pair this hairstyle with everything and anything.
Criss-Cross Gajra Wrapped Around Your Braid
You too can add gajra to your long braid in a crisscross pattern, much like Sonam Kapoor did. Trust us, you'll be shaadi-ready for your bestie's wedding if you add chain earrings or Raakodis and gajra to your hairstyle.
Twirl It Around
Make a simple braid with any type of front styling you like and wrap long gajra strings around the braid. The easiest and most beautiful way to accessorise your traditional outfit, whether it be a suit or a lehenga, is with a gajra.
MyGlamm Recommends: MyGlamm Superfoods Cacao, Coffee & Coconut Conditioner
Has your hair been feeling dry and brittle? This nourishing and moisturising blend of coconut and coffee makes your hair healthier than before and enhances its lustre over time. Thanks to its composition of cacao, it hydrates and protects your hair without stripping them off its natural moisture.
Gajra Strings For The Win
You're mistaken if you believe that gajra can be used to decorate a regular braid or a fishtail braid. Choose a lovely style like a tangled bubble braid and combine it with strings of gajra to make it look fantastic.
Gajra Hairstyle On Open Hair
Who said you could just use gajra when making a fancy hairstyle for yourself? Even when you prefer to wear your hair open, you can accessorise it with a gajra. Here are various gajra-adorned hairstyles for open hair. Look them up!
Side Gajra Open Hair Hairstyle
A string of gajras on one side with open hair is the best way to add an oomph factor to your personality. So curl up your hair, put them all on one side & pair it with some pretty flowers & gajra.
Colourful Gajra Hairstyle
It’s time to ditch the cliche white gajras & be friends with some colourful ones! Sounds interesting? This colourful gajra hairstyle spreads vibrant vibes and makes you look super pretty. So curl your hair or style them wavy and don’t miss decorating them with colourful gajra flowers around it.
Half Updo With Gajra
When in doubt, we frequently gravitate towards gentle curls and half-tied updos. Some girls like to keep their hairstyle simple, while others enjoy accessorising it. How about replacing the hairclip with gajra strings? It adds elegance and takes your conventional hairdo up a notch.
MyGlamm Recommends: MyGlamm Superfoods Passion Fruit Rosemary Shampoo
Do you like the shine of freshly blow-dried hair? Do you want to always smell like you just stepped out of a fancy salon? Me too! And that’s exactly what you get from this shampoo. Not to mention, Vitamin B5 imparts strength, shine, and silky texture to dull and dry strands.
Hang Along The Gajra Curtain
You can create this gajra hairstyle on open hair by yourself because it's extremely simple. Simply create a half-updo and pin it in place. The only thing left to do is to tie a few strings of gajra together and clip it onto the half-do like a curtain falling along your tresses. Sleek and classy!
Gajra Hairstyle On Long Hair
Gajras have always been a part of Indian culture, but nowadays, ladies are accessorising their hair with gajras in unusual ways. Although you may have already come across numerous lovely hairstyles with gajra, some gajra styles will appear even more beautiful on long hair. Here are some examples of long hair gajra styles.
Jazz Up Those Soft Curls
This gajra hairstyle is ideal for you if you have lovely long hair and would prefer to show it off rather than pull it back into a bun or braid. Demand gentle curls from your hairstylist, then half-tie them however you wish. After that, you can add white or colourful mogra flowers in various places to style your long, luxurious hair. Doesn't this seem lovely?
MyGlamm Recommends: MyGlamm Superfoods Onion & Moringa Conditioner
This Onion Hair conditioner is uniquely formulated with all-natural, superfood ingredients, handpicked for their efficacy. The nutrition-rich Onion Conditioner replenishes and strengthens your hair, combats hair breakage, and keeps them soft.

Gajra + Hair Embellishments = Adorned Bun
Using a gajra does not mean bidding adieu to any other hair accessory. To go completely glamm, pair the gajra string with roses or other hair decorations. The gajra and floral string only need to be wrapped around a messy or simple bun. Throw in a beautiful hair trinket for an added oomph.
That Typical South Indian Braid
One of the most traditional ways to adorn a South Indian girl's braid, especially for the brides, is with mogra veni. You can use different hair ornaments, such as phooljadas or nagajadas, in addition to mogra veni (which come in a variety of colours), to further elevate your look. If you're a bride from South India, you must go with this gajra hairdo.

Wear It As A Maatha Patti
There are so many alternatives these days for Matha Pattis, from floral to Gota Patti designs, and they are all so trendy. So why not wear a gajra Matha Patti if you're considering decking up for your best friend's wedding? It is obviously going to look a class apart with a saree, but you can also wear this with a suit or a lehenga for her Mehendi or Haldi ceremony.
What About A Gajra Dupatta?
Pick a good gajra dupatta if you want all eyes on you at your sister's wedding. Trying to picture it? Wear a saree as usual and carry the gajra dupatta as a veil. To do some twinning at your sister's Chura ceremony, have two gajra dupattas made for you both.
