Ponytails have shed their schoolgirl image for grown-up glamour. Pull your hair back into a high style like Alia Bhatt did during the Dear Zindagi promotions or give your flyaways a break with a relaxed ponytail like Deepika Padukone's at a recent watch launch. If you prefer to keep things sleek, take inspiration from the Nikasha Fall/Winter 2015-16 show, where models wore straight, glossy hair twisted along the crown that finished with ponytails at the nape. No time for a straightening iron? Scrunch your hair with sea salt spray for insouciant elegance.
