Saree is an evergreen and sophisticated piece which signifies ‘beauty’. However, what pairs well with the saree remains the crown – no pun intended – or the fall of it; the hairstyle. The right hairstyle not only contributes to the overall aura of the saree but also completes the entire look whether it is a traditional wear or contemporary, traditional mixed with contemporary or the exact opposite. Here is the simple step by step guide to styling your saree according to the formality of occasion and to lend you that brilliant shine.
- Traditional form of wedding cakes – Classic Bun for Traditional Occasions
How about going retro, by a simple bun and a beautiful traditional saree? This hairstyle is most appropriate for weddings, fellowship meetings and any other more formal occasions. This one can be done really neat and quite tight, or more loose – basically, depending on the type of saree you’re going to wear and your general style.
How to Style: Take the hair and gather it on the head at the nape of the neck forming a low ponytail, then take the ponytail and roll it then fix it with a bobby pin. For the traditional look you can use fresh flowers which are preferable jasmine flowers or rose flowers these can be added to the bun.

- curled hairstyle to the side for that extra glamorous and sex appeal side
For an evening party or reception event, I love side-swept curls because they immediately make things glamorous and go well with sarees that have a little sheen or some beadwork. Flowing curls resting on the one side of the neck not only complement the saree arrangement but also give the womanhood look.
How to Style: One more method is to gather all the hair, and make big curling with a curling iron and collect all the hair to one side. Curl with a few bobby pins and after you make sure that the hairspray would keep those cURLs in place. This preferred style accompanies sequined or chiffon sarees and suits best to chandelier earrings.

Well suited for occasions like Diwali, Dussehra, or family occasions, this braided bun is pretty intricate and seems like weaves a story of its own. It is a unisex hair fashion that introduces a traditional aspect to the modernity of the subject.
How to Style: You can start by playing your hair in one single braid or more sections, then plaiting and twirling them into a low bun at the back of your head. If you plan on looking sharp, dress your hair with some small hair pins or flowers. It goes well with cotton, silk and Kanjeevaram sarees so that you can highlight jewelries including heavy necklaces and long earrings.
