5 Elegant Gajra Hairstyles For Hariyali Teej 2026

Here are five beautiful and effortless hairstyles you can make with your traditional outfits this Hariyali Teej 2026.

1. Sleek Gajra Bun

A classic favourite that never gets outdated. The sleek bun, decorated with gajras, is ideal to wear with a saree and lehenga. Create your hair into a sleek, elegant bun and wrap it around with gajra strands.

2. South Indian Style Gajra Braid

For those women who appreciate the old-fashioned braiding style and would like to have long braids, you can opt for this combination of an old-style 3-stranded braid combined with flowers. The gajra will be fixed to the bun of the ponytail and wrapped along the whole braid.

3. The Half-Up Gajra Bun

If you prefer leaving your hair open, the half-up, half-down look offers a soft, youthful vibe. Section the top half of your hair into delicate side twists or a small crown bun, and wrap a single or double ring of gajra around the pinned section. Pair your airstyle with your classic suits to look effortlessly gorgeous.

4. Messy Gajra Bun

Gather your hair into a soft, textured messy bun with face-framing tendrils pulled out in the front. Wrap your messy bun with a gajra and tuck it with a pin. Pick this hairstyle with your timeless sarees to grab everyone’s attention.

5. Low Braided Bun With Gajra

An intricate, detailed low braided bun with gajra is an apt hairstyle for ethnic outfits. Create two thick Dutch or French braids along both sides of your scalp, sweeping them back to merge into a low braided bun. Accentuate the base of the bun with gajra strands.
