Dhokri
Embrace tradition with the Dhokri bridal hairstyle, an ornate North Indian updo perfect for weddings and celebrations.
About Dhokri
The Dhokri is a classic bridal hairstyle originating from North India, particularly popular in Punjabi, Rajasthani, and Gujarati cultures. It features elaborate braiding techniques that create a structured, voluminous bun or multiple buns, often adorned with traditional accessories such as fresh flowers, maang tikka, jadai ornaments, and gold jewelry. This style is designed to complement heavy bridal attire and is known for its symmetry and grandeur. It typically requires long hair and may incorporate extensions for added fullness. In Birmingham, where there is a vibrant South Asian community, the Dhokri is sought after for weddings, festivals, and formal events.
