6 Indian Wedding Hairstyles For Short Hair – Short hair, you’re in luck. Unlike long hair, short hair can be pulled into an array of beautiful hairstyles that look just as fancy as they do on their longer counterparts.
From braids to updos and flower crowns to headbands, there’s no shortage of ways to make your short hair look gorgeous at a wedding.
Braided Updo
To create this style, you’ll need a hair elastic and a few bobby pins. First, braid your hair into a low ponytail at the back of your head.
Be sure to leave enough room at the ends of your hair so that they’re not too short when you’ve finished braiding.
Next, pull the ponytail through the hole in the crown of an elastic-banded headband and secure with bobby pins as needed to keep it in place.
Add A Flower
You can add flowers to any hairstyle for a more feminine look. If you’ve got a traditional updo, like the braid, try adding flowers to the braid itself or around the crown of your head.
You can also choose a headband or tiara and add flowers to it. Flowers are great for casual events too! A flower crown is easy and looks great on anyone – even if you have short hair!
Half Up Half Down
This style is very similar to the Half Up Half Down, but instead of pulling the hair back, a small braid or ponytail is pulled up in a larger ponytail. The rest of your hair can be left down or pulled back into a ponytail.
This look works well for women with short curly or wavy hair who want to show off their curls without spending too much time styling them.
Look Like A Queen
If you have short hair, don’t let that stop you from styling your tresses! There are plenty of ways to add volume and texture to a pixie cut.
To get the look:
- Use a curling iron or wand to create loose waves in all directions. Don’t worry about getting every single strand at an angle; just focus on creating natural-looking waves throughout your entire head of hair (the more random and messy, the better). The more texture there is, the better it will hang down when curled—and trust us when we say this style looks even better with some extra height!
- Toss your hair up into a messy bun and secure with bobby pins as needed for extra hold in place (we like these ones from Amazon). You can even use some hairspray or texturizing spray if you want everything to stay put once it’s been pulled back into this updo shape.
Messy Chignon
- Step 1: Start by sectioning off your hair and tying it into a low ponytail. Secure the end of the ponytail with an elastic band.
- Step 2: Take some bobby pins and loosely pin back sections of your hair to create volume at the top of your head while securing them in place with bobby pins on both sides of each section. Make sure you don’t pull too hard when you’re doing this so that you don’t rip out any strands (and also because it hurts).
- Step 3: Gather all of your loose hair together at the nape of your neck, making sure to tuck everything underneath itself so that there aren’t any flyaways sticking out past where they should be. Pin this little bun up until it’s secure—but not tight enough that it hurts! You want something that looks messy but intentional, like a crown or tiara made from flowers instead of diamonds…or maybe even just some leafy vines wrapped around a couple twigs? That’d be cute too!
Braid Headband
If you have short hair and a wedding to attend, there’s no reason why you can’t look just as beautiful as your long-haired counterparts.
One option is to use a braid headband to keep hair out of your face. You could also use a regular hair tie if you don’t have time for that extra step, but I recommend doing something different than simply tying it back into a ponytail.
If you want something more formal with your updos, consider using two braids instead of one!
