Diwali is the most celebrated festival across India — a time of lights, sweets, family, and dressing in your most beautiful ethnic wear. While most people plan their outfit and jewellery well in advance, one detail often gets overlooked: the perfect Diwali hair accessory. This year, let your braid do the talking with a handcrafted Kunjalam from KANAV Store.
Why Your Hair Deserves Attention This Diwali
A Diwali look is incomplete without the right hair styling. Whether you're wearing a silk saree, an anarkali, a lehenga, or a contemporary ethnic outfit, your braid is the canvas for one of India's most beautiful traditional hair accessories. A well-chosen Diwali hair accessory ties your entire look together and adds that extra layer of cultural elegance.
Kunjalam — The Braid Adornment That Shines at Diwali
At KANAV Store, our signature Kunjalam is rooted in Kerala's heritage but reimagined with Parandi-style drama — making it the perfect braid accessory for Diwali celebrations across India, not just Kerala. Rich in texture, vibrant in colour, and handcrafted with care, our Kunjalam adds festive flair to any braid.
For Diwali, we especially recommend:
- Gold-toned Kunjalam — for silk sarees, kanjeevarams, and rich ethnic wear
- Deep red or maroon Kunjalam — for the classic Diwali colour palette
- Sunflower or marigold yellow Kunjalam — festive, bright, and joyful
- Forest green with gold accents — for a regal, understated look
How to Style Your Braid for Diwali
Getting your Diwali hair right is simpler than you think:
- Classic braid: Oil your hair lightly, plait a long braid, and tie a KANAV Kunjalam at the end — timeless and effortless
- Fishtail braid: Add a Kunjalam at the tip for a modern festive look
- Side braid: Drape it over one shoulder with a Kunjalam — elegant for sarees and lehengas
- Half-up braid: Pull the top half into a braid and let the Kunjalam rest between your shoulder blades
Diwali Hair Accessories for Every Outfit
- Silk saree / Kanjeevaram: Gold or deep jewel-toned Kunjalam with jhumkas
- Lehenga: Match the Kunjalam colour to your dupatta or blouse
- Anarkali / Salwar: A lighter, brighter Kunjalam for a playful festive mood
- Indo-western: Bold contrasting colours — let the Kunjalam be your statement piece
