Just as a bride’s lehenga and makeup play an important role in the overall look of the bride, her hair are also equally important. A bride's hair should look perfect on her special day. Even when you’re not the bride, you always want perfect hair, so wanting that when you’re going to be the bride, is a given. Indian hairstylists generally prefer the bun for the Wedding day. It helps to pin the dupatta on the top of the head and gives the desired height and volume too. However, brides with short hair do not need to lose heart. Short hair is so chic and trendy and there is so much you can do with it. If you want to leave your hair open, we have just the right look for you. Consider beachy waves, soft curls and some gorgeous accessories. Indian wedding hairstyles can be very versatile and because we have so many lovely accessories, the hair becomes all the more important. So if you're a bride who wishes to rock her hair and inspire future brides with #hairgoals, here are a few bridal hairstyles that you must try. In fact, we have some lovely suggestions not just for the bride, but for the bridesmaids and her close family as well.
