10 Gorgeous Hairstyles with Churidar Kameez
Try the following hairstyles with churidar kameez and look stupendously beautiful:
1. Elegant Side-Swept Waves
If you are wearing a kameez featuring an embroidered collar or an embellished neckline, this is how you need to style your hair. It can even be a part of your perfect date night look. However, ensure you drape the dupatta just on the other shoulder.
Style Decoded:
- Make a small side partition and add a little volume to the crown by backcombing the hair with a rattail comb.
- Take a curling brush of wider barrel and curl up the hair starting right from the nape of the neck. It should give you large, fluffy curls and a wavy look.
- Sweep all your hair onto the shoulder opposite the partition and fix the style with a flexible-hold hairspray.
Wrapping the hair under and around the barrel of a 1.5-inch curling iron will give you curls away from your face and cooling it in a velcro roller will retain the shape longer. For a unified ’50s-style wave, brush the curls lightly with a paddle brush (1).
2. Super Chic Rolled-Up Bun
This hairstyle can be your savior when wearing a churidar kameez at a summer wedding party! It combines style and comfort in just the right proportions. Using a hair accessory will boost the elegance of this hairstyle almost a few hundred times.
Style Decoded:
- Center-partition your hair and gently create volume on the top and the crown by backcombing.
- Grab all the hair from both sides of your head and separate them from the hair at the back. There should be three distinct sections in your hair now.
- Roll the section of hair at the back into a bun and secure it a little above the middle.
- Roll up the sections of side hair separately and then wrap them around the previous bun together. Secure with hairpins and hairspray.
3. Smart And Trendy Straight
These days, straight is ‘hot’ in fashion. Maintaining straight hair is also very important to keep it sleek and stunning. If you have medium to long hair that is well-trimmed and not very fine, go for it and confidently win the style game!
Style Decoded:
- Divide your hair into small sections and straighten each carefully with a straightening iron.
- Add all of them together, thoroughly apply a hair serum, and comb down the straightened hair.
- Secure a little volume to your crown area with hair clips. Leave the rest of the hair loose.
Frequent and/or incorrect use of a straightening iron can burn the delicate hair shafts by depleting them of their natural moisture. Using teflon-coated irons and prepping the hair with high-quality heat protectant sprays can minimize the damage to a large extent (2).
4. Gorgeous Side Messy Bun
This is the perfect hairstyle if you are wearing a Chinese-collared kameez with your churidar. It takes minimal time and gives an awe-inspiring look to turn heads. Complete the look with chandelier earrings, the correct dose of makeup, and some gorgeous accessories.
Style Decoded:
- Make a side part and sweep all your hair to the other side. If you wish, make soft curls before you start.
- Tract a thick section from the front and loosely pin it at the side.
- Secure a loose, messy bun hanging low on the same side using a hairspray.
5. Backcombed Curls With Puff
No other hairstyle with a classic Anarkali churidar can appear as beautiful as this one. It not only exudes oodles of feminism but also takes your Indian ethnic look to a whole new level. However, make sure that you keep your makeup and jewelry minimum with this hairstyle.
Style Decoded:
- To start with, side-part your hair and create tight, medium curls. Let the curl in your front layer frame your face beautifully if you have deep layers.
- Backcomb the crown area to puff it up and secure the volume with hair clips.
- Let the rest of your curls fall loosely on your shoulders.
Backcombing is an indispensable step in creating puffs as it gives the hairstyle great hold and structure. But instead of it, you can also puff up your hair by twisting it into place and creating enough tension.

- Now, please bring all your hair to the nape of the neck at one side and tie it into a ponytail.
- Brush the ponytail carefully and apply serum all over it.

Best Hair Care Tips for Perfect Hairstyle
No matter your hair type, you should take the best care of it to make the most of your hairstyle every time. Here are the tips to follow:
- No matter how relaxing a scalding shower is, it is too harsh on your hair. You should always use lukewarm water for washing your hair.

- Your hot tools must be used in a low or medium-temperature setting only.
- While blow-drying your hair, use the hair dryer at a distance of 15 cm and keep moving it continuously to cause less damage to your hair (4).
