Even male gaddis belonging to upper strata of the community wear gold rings in ears and they call it “Murkies”. Gaddi women keep long hair which are dressed with wooden comb known as `Kangi’ which functions from both sides. Some have started using rubber\/plastic combs. Gaddans while combing hair part them in centre and thus the hair on both sides are some times tied in many plaits and then a long braid is tied with cotton or silken “Parandu” of red or black colour.
