Braids are a hassle free hairstyle option, ideal for when your mane refuses to be tamed. Additionally, braids add an elegant touch to outfits, especially with Indian wear. Of course gajra wrapped buns look stunning with Indian wear but why restrict your hairstyle to just that, right? Not only are braids super stylish, they require little to no heat so you're not damaging your locks either. Since the wedding season is almost upon us and nobody wants hair all frizzy when wearing a stunning lehenga, so here are some Bollywood approved braid hairstyles to make your ethnic looks top notch. Embellish them further with hair accessories or fragrant flowers and you'll soon be the most stylish desi girl out there.
