Weddings are traditional, but believe me; you don’t need long hair to look traditional and beautiful. No matter what outfit you choose to wear, you don’t have to worry about your short hair not complementing your attire, because the short hairstyles on this list will surely help. The things to remember is choose your hair accessory in a way that looks elegant and beautifully complements your outfit and the rest of your jewelry. Like, you just can’t use a heavy embellished accessory for your hair along with heavy earrings and a heavy neck piece, and no, not even for a big fat Indian wedding.
If you are wearing heavy jewelry, use fresh flowers for your hair. It is straight from the old eras, but it is still charming. Also, taking care of all the small and baby hair is frustrating, but make sure that all the baby hair, along with the smaller strands, are in place and neatly pinned if you want a neat hairstyle.
