BANNER IMG

Festive season pressure is real. Period. There always seems to be some party or event to attend, and that means beauty burnout. I mean, how many hairdos can you think of before you just wish you could just let your hair down (pun intended).

Lucky for you, we’ve been scanning all the best celebrity hair moments that Bollywood has given us and we have inspo for you! You can try your hand at these, whether you’re a hair professional, an amateur hair enthusiast or even just someone who wants to look put-together for that dinner and taash party. Read on for all the deets!

High On Volume Updo

When the mother of updos serves you with such glorious inspiration, you have to recreate the look! This voluminous bun on super textured and tousled hair, with the added glam of a jewel hairband is just the thing to get you all the attention at those Diwali soirees.

Romantic Rhinestoned Curls

Give your romantic soft curls a major upgrade by adding stick-on rhinestones a la Diana Penty. Elegant in the most understated way, but eye-catching.

Frauline Braids

Fancy a little Indo-Dutch fusion this year? Try weaving a thin satin ribbon into Dutch braids, and tie them together from the nape of your neck for the most stand-out hairdo in any room you walk into. Plus, it keeps your hair out of your face, so that you can dance the night away.

Chic Knot

What do you get when you combine tucked away sweeping bangs, a low and loose knot, effortlessly framing front pieces and a fun bow? The most chic, most comfortable style you’ll ever try, of course! This has got to be the cutest way to rock “I-just-got-out-of-bed hair”, don’t you agree?

Fluffed Up Ponytail

This is the one hairstyle that will never go out of style. Whether you’re having an unmanageable hair day, or haven’t had time to pop in for a hair shower, the voluminous ponytail is your saving grace. Wave your hair, tease your crown, and don’t forget to wrap a section over your hair tie for the most polished look!

Graceful Braid

For the ultimate tradition meets glam look, the very classic, very Indian mogra adorned braid is your best bet. The beauty is in the details with this one, and the French twist at each side adds that oomph factor to your look.
