“Choti si choti baalon mein bhi Garba ka style chhupa hai” 😉(Trust me, your short hair isn’t a curse – it’s a secret weapon. Less sweat, more bounce, and zero tug-of-war with pins.)
Every Navratri night is basically a marathon of selfies, spinning and sweating under fairy lights. Your hair needs to look fab, stay intact, and not make you want to scream by the third dandiya round. If you think short hair = no style, think again. Here’s my real-girl guide to 15 Garba hairstyles for short hair that are festive, secure, and selfie-proof.
Think of it as choreography for your head – plan it before the music starts.
1. Braided Mini Crown 👑
Two small braids pinned like a crown. Keeps hair off your face, adds a halo effect.
For pixie cuts. Twist one side, add oxidised pins or a tiny maang tikka clip.
Use a texturising spray, add soft waves, pin back one side with a mirror clip.
Tiny Dutch braids starting from the front hairline, tied back. Works even on chin-length hair.
Section hair in the middle, roll pin curls upwards for a faux Mohawk vibe.
Take top section, twist into a tiny knot. Secure with floral pin.
Old-school glam for bobs. Side part, finger wave, and secure with a shiny clip.
Flat iron or blowout for a sleek look. Add a statement oxidised clip or gajra behind one ear.
Pull as much hair as possible into a low micro ponytail. Wrap base with beaded thread.
Even short hair can make a mini bun. Add gajra or rose buds for a festive finish.
Twist sections from front, pin at back, add coloured ribbon matching your outfit.
Braid along the hairline like a headband. Works best on layered bobs.
Use curl cream or wand for soft curls, add multiple metallic clips on one side.
Make 3–4 tiny Bantu knots at crown, leave ends out. Funky + sweat-proof.
Deep side part your bob, place decorative comb pins for instant glam.
Pro Tip: Pack a few pins and a mini serum in your clutch for quick mid-night fixes.
Light accessories > heavy jhumkas for short hair. Balance is everything.
Yes! Twists, accessories, and texture spray work wonders.
Only if pinned or sprayed properly. Half-up styles are safer.
Yes, but keep scale small. Short hair looks best with minimal yet striking pieces.
Spritz with water + curl cream or aloe gel, scrunch and go.
Don’t let your bob or pixie make you think you can’t slay Garba night. With the right prep, accessories, and a little practice, short hair can look just as festive (and often holds up better than long hair in humidity and sweat).
“Baal chhote hain toh kya? Garba mein style toh bada hi karna padega!” 😎🔥
Pick one or two of these styles, try them before the big night, and watch your short hair outshine even the longest locks on the dance floor.
