Recently, I came across a dm on my Instagram which requested details for hairstylists in Bengaluru that were comfortable and skilled with styling naturally wavy and curly hair.
I know this is a big struggle, especially in India.
The go-to solution for all brides is to get their hair straightened so it looks sleek and elegant during important functions and weddings.
Even if you want to be natural, there are hardly any stylists and salons that won’t offer keratin treatments to make it easier to style or expect several hours of blow drying it straight.
This is not to disparage any curly or wavy bride that WANTS to straighten their hair for their wedding.
Without a doubt, on such busy hectic days, under the harsh glare of lights and sweating through several wedding clothes, having it straight makes it easier to handle and reduces prep time.
Also, if you’re someone who loves and celebrates their natural hair but wants to achieve a beautiful elegant look with styled, blow-dried on their special days, go for it!
This post is for brides who want hair stylists that can with minimal heat can make their hair look stunning.
My Wedding Hair Style
When I got married in 2020 in Delhi, I roped in my curly friend who also dabbles in makeup and hair. I trusted her to do my updo for the reception dinner – I went with freshly washed open hair for my court wedding.
Yes, it got a little frizzy in the end- but I didn’t mind honestly. My priorities while getting married in the pandemic after things opened up (and shut down slowly again) were different.
Plus, I was thrilled at the court wedding going through without any snags haha!
I didn’t know any special bridal curly hair stylists. Delhi in terms of even salons/hairstylists for cutting curly hair definitely underperforms compared to other cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, and Hyderabad. Hopefully, that changes soon!

If you need inspiration for deciding what hairstyle to choose for your wedding, I suggest taking a look through Pinterest and google and saving pictures for reference.
Remember, your hair type matters when it comes to the style you want.
Also, small amounts of heat, curling, and such are fine- just make sure you use a heat protectant cream and deep condition once things are back to routine!
