5 hairstyles for the new-age bride

Fuss-free bride? Ace the undone, bed-head look. Begin by air drying freshly washed hair, then divide your hair at ear-level and start backcombing the upper section. Use a few bobby pins to secure the hair and leave the rest loose. You can wear a hair accessory or maang-tikka to add some bling to your do.

Bridezilla or bridesmaid, side-swept waves will see you through any role. Blow dry your hair and divide it into six sections. Then, using a thick curling iron, twirl your hair to get large waves. After all your hair has been curled, gently brush it out and move it over one shoulder. Instead of hairspray, finish with some shine spray.

After making a thin braid, cross it over your crown, pin it above above the opposite ear and finish by running a straightener over the loose section. Works best for pre-wedding functions.

When it comes to weddings, especially your own, comfort is key. Instead of spending an hour pushing bobby pins through your hair, simply plait wet hair the night before and wake up to naturally crimped waves. Apply some gloss serum for finishing touches.
