How to make: Gather hair from the back and make a low or mid-high bun. Wrap the curling accessory around the bun or fix it with a pin. That’s it, it’s ready.
Braid with gota: Perfect with saree
This is best for girls who do not want to keep their hair open. By applying gota patti in a simple braid, you can give it a completely functional look. It especially goes well with lehenga and saree. If you also wear heavy ear chain earrings, the look will become even more attractive.
How to make: While making a normal braid, braid one gota strip together. Place a gota paranda at the end of the braid.
Open Hair with Mathapatti: Royal and Simple
If you like open hair but want something different, then apply Mathapatti. It highlights the shape of the entire face, not just the forehead. Secure the hair with a pin or clutcher from the back and put a headband in the front. Just keep in mind that the forehead bandage should not be too heavy; otherwise, the look will look heavy.
