12 Hairstyles That Survive Indian Humidity and Wedding Functions

7. Low Chignon with Gajra

The low chignon is a timeless choice and becomes especially durable in humidity when kept compact and paired with a gajra designed for long wear. Prep by smoothing hair with a cream serum and working any loose ends into the coil neatly. Coil hair into a low chignon and secure with pins; wrap a thin elastic if you want added reinforcement. If you're using a fresh gajra, anchor it to the buns with a few pins tucked beneath the chignon so the flowers don’t droop or shift with heat. For humid climates, favor smaller, tightly coiled gajras or artificial floral pieces that won’t wilt. Seal the look with a flexible anti-frizz spray that lets the chignon remain soft while resisting humidity. This style is well-suited for more traditional ceremonies and looks especially good with sarees and heavier jewelry because the low placement keeps the profile balanced and comfortable throughout the day.
