According to Vidya Balan, a veteran Bollywood actress, and dedicated saree-lover, “Saree is the sexiest garment ever. It shows you the right amount; it covers the right amount.

What Kind of Hairstyles Complement a Saree?

Hairstyles enhance the natural beauty of a face and make you look well-put and presentable. Not all kinds of hairstyles are suitable for all types of faces. Moreover, hair types differ from person to person. Some people have naturally lush and thick hair, while some have hair that has thinned out all over their scalp. Lengths vary as well, which decide how elaborate a hairstyle you can try. Textures also play a huge part in deciding the hairstyle you choose. Therefore, we are here to provide you with saree hairstyle ideas that can look nice on your face cut and the texture/length/type of your hair.

How to look good in a saree?

It’s not that hard, so don’t feel daunted. There are just a couple of things you need to take into consideration:

  • Pay attention to the fabric the saree is made from. Is the fabric light and easy to drape, or does it add too much bulk to your frame? Depending on how you want to look, choose the appropriate fabric.
  • Sarees with subtle prints, colors, and borders are a safe bet. Darker and heavier sarees are harder to pull off.
  • Make sure it is pleated well. Saree is nothing without good pleats.
  • Experiment with different types of blouses. Traditional sarees all have simple blouses but draping a modern saree is so much fun because it allows you to play with various kinds of tops.
  • Your saree shouldn’t be too long as to brush the floor nor too short as to reach your ankles.
  • Wear heels.
  • Natural makeup is always a better idea for every occasion unless you want to go dramatic.
  • Choose an appropriate hairstyle.

Which hairstyle looks best with a saree?

It’s a subjective question: the answer varies from person to person. Hair types, textures, lengths, as well as preferences of the person, are the deciding factors. What looks best on a person is up to them to figure out.

However, the hairstyle you will most commonly see on saree-clad women is a simple bun. Deepika Padukone favors buns, while Rekha jee’s style is a mix of open hair and sleek buns.

Let’s start with something straightforward, shall we? This hairstyle is adaptable to almost any kind of hair and most hair lengths. All you need to do is create a big puff on the top of your head, pin that puff to the back of your head (you can get creative here), and leave the rest of the hair to fall gloriously down your shoulders. To make the hair appear artistically messy, curl all the loose hair.

↓ 17 – Juda Updo with Traditional Saree

A traditional banarsee saree with a small blouse and carefully arranged pleats calls for a similarly desi hairstyle. Indian soap operas are an excellent source for gaining insight into all such updos. They range from mediocre to hilariously overdone, but they all have one thing in common: they capture the vibe of a traditional saree. You need to be moderately skilled to create a beautiful updo like this. You can also take shortcuts; for example, instead of twisting your hair at the back like in this picture, take a wig scrunchie and tie your hair with ease.

This style is fantastic for family and friends’ weddings.
