In fact, you do not need to be a skilled hairstylist for this. There are some easy ‘no salon’ hairstyles that can turn you from drab to drop-dead gorgeous in your designer ethnic outfit right away. So, if you are still stuck with the same old, boring hairdo, it’s time for a serious change! Here are 10 sorted hairstyles with churidar kameez that you can ace yourself without much fuss.
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, make sure that 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, thereby giving your hair a beautiful wavy look.
- Sweep all your hair onto the shoulder opposite to 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
When wearing a churidar kameez in a summer wedding party, this hairstyle can be your savior! It combines style and comfort just in 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 create volume on the top as well as the crown by backcombing gently.
- Grab all the hair from both sides of your head and separate them from the hair at the back. There should 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 your straight hair is also very important in order to keep it sleek and stunning. If you have medium to long hair that is well-trimmed and not very fine, just go for it and win the style game with confidence!
Style Decoded:
- Divide your hair into small sections and straighten each of them carefully with a straightening iron.
- Take all of them together, apply a hair serum thoroughly, and comb down the straightened hair.
- Add a little volume to your crown area and secure it 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
If you are wearing a Chinese-collared kameez with your churidar, then this is the perfect hairstyle for you. It takes minimal time and gives an awe-inspiring look to turn heads. Complete the look with chandelier earrings, the right dose of makeup, and some gorgeous accessories.

- Make a side part and sweep all your hair to the other side. If you wish, make soft curls before you start.
- Take a thick section from the front and pin it at the side loosely.
- Now, make a loose messy bun hanging low on the same side and secure it by using a hairspray.
5. Backcombed Curls With Puff
No other hairstyle can appear as beautiful as this one with a classic Anarkali churidar. 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. If you have deep layers, let the curl in your front layer frame your face beautifully.
- Backcomb the crown area to puff it up and secure the volume with some hair clips.
- Let 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.
