1. That messy look

We’re loving Jacqueline’s messy, messy braid! Messy braids look fab with every outfit, Indian or western and the front middle part with tousled hair looks just perfect. You’ll need a good volumizing spray to add bounce and volume to your hair along with bobby pins to keep those flyaways in place.
2. Braids all over

Such a pretty hairdo! Jazz up your jooda by dividing your hair in equal parts and start braiding right from the front. If a basic plain jooda looks too boring, this is the way to go. Opt for a low side bun and pretty it up with flowers.
3. Twisted and undone

This messy undone braid is just the most stylish look ever. For your bestie’s cocktail night, opt for this hairdo to match your anarkali or gown. Twist your hair and braid less than half of your pony. For the rest of your pony, just twist the strands and finish off with a setting spray.

Alia Bhatt sure knows how to rock a braid! Her heart hairdo looks extremely charming and is perfect for the engagement ceremony. For a striking yet not too OOT look, the rest of her hair was kept nice and simple. Talk to your hairstylist in advance to get this look.
5. Jazz up the ponytail

Love the good old pony but find it too simple for a shaadi function?! Well, just incorporate a sleek braid on one side and you’re pretty much done. For a more festive look, you could even opt for two thin braids on the side. Puff up the crown and get ready to dance the night away!
6. Fishtails so pretty

For a dreamy look at the bestie ki shaadi, fishtails are just perfect. You could opt for a single fishtail or part your hair in two equal parts for two different braids…just like this bride. The two braids are then merged together at the ends for that beautiful mermaid hairdo. Pretty it up with flowers if you wish to!
7. A princess style

For those princessy vibes, this one hairdo is just what you need. Take a part of your hair from one side and start braiding across to the other side like a tiara. Secure the other end of the braid with bobby pins and you’re done. Opt for a thin braid for a subtle look and you can go thicker for a more prominent look.
8. Braids and a bun

A messy bun always looks fabulous. But you could totally add a twist to your look by loosely braiding the front. Two twisted braids on the sides and a messy bun, now wouldn’t you want this for the much-awaited sangeet night?!
9. Criss-cross charisma
