The quintessential royal bridal bun. I create this look with precision, ensuring every strand is in place and the gajra is secured perfectly for a timeless and regal appearance on the wedding day.
I love showing the versatility of traditional accessories. Here are three different gajra hairstyles I created, from a classic full bun to a modern wrapped braid, suitable for any wedding event.
For a Haldi ceremony, a simple and elegant gajra bun is a beautiful choice. It keeps the hair neatly away from the face while adding a touch of traditional grace that complements the yellow attire.
This is a South Indian inspired bridal braid, decorated with marigold flowers. The style is both traditional and trendy, making it a stunning choice for functions like the mehendi or the wedding itself.
A soft, open hairstyle with loose waves and delicate floral details. This look is perfect for a Haldi ceremony, offering a fresh and youthful vibe that feels effortlessly beautiful.
The bubble braid is a modern and playful choice for an engagement or cocktail party. I use colorful threads to match the outfit, creating a unique and eye-catching party hairstyle.
For a reception, many brides prefer an open hairstyle. This look features soft waves with a braided crown and a playful bow accessory, creating a romantic and glamorous party look.

About Bridal & Special Occasion Hairstyles
Many people think a fancy hairstyle is just about the final look, but the secret is in the prep work. Whether you want a bubble braid or a classic gajra bun, we focus on texturizing your hair first so the style stays secure and does not droop, even if your event runs late into the night.
Your wedding or party look isn't just about the pins and curls; it is about how the style sits with your outfit and holds up under the event lights. At Pooja Salon & Academy in DLF Phase 3, we approach every hairstyle as a technical project, not just a quick fix.
Why Prep Matters
Before we start, we assess your hair texture. Fine hair needs volume-building products, while thick hair needs careful weight distribution to prevent the style from pulling. We use professional texturizing techniques to ensure your hair has enough grip to hold pins and flowers securely. This is why our gajra buns stay in place during a long Haldi function and our open styles keep their bounce through the reception.
Matching Style to Function
We often see clients bring Pinterest photos, which is great, but we also customize them for reality.
- Haldi & Mehendi: We prefer styles that keep hair away from the face, like intricate floral braids or neat buns, especially when there's a lot of movement or floral application.
- Cocktails & Receptions: This is where we play with volume. Whether it is Hollywood waves or a modern messy bun, we ensure the heat-styling is sealed to combat humidity so you don't end up with frizz by the time you hit the dance floor.
The Finishing Touches
We are particular about accessories. If you have fresh flowers, we prep the stems to ensure they stay fresh and fragrant. If you prefer hair extensions for added length or volume, we blend them seamlessly. We don't just stop at the hair; we look at the whole picture including your draping and makeup to ensure everything feels balanced. If you are confused about what works for your face shape, come by the salon—we will consult, diagnose your hair needs, and guide you to the perfect style.
