The scorching sun makes it doubly difficult to tackle your tresses and sometimes the process of fixing your hair can turn out to be a true pain. But hey, we’ve got hairstyling hacks coming straight out from the style files of Bollywood divas. These simple-to-achieve hairdos promise to make you look comfortably stylish.
Alia’s Highway
Alia Bhatt’s chooses to add quirks to a high ponytail and we must say, it can be your absolute saviour for the sweaty summer. Just tie it up in a high pony, keep it a little off centre and use a section of your base hair to create a fun braid that you can fix in place with bobby pins. People will definitely go all ‘OMG’ on you!
Anushka’s Twist-n-Twirl
Just a little bit of Anushka Sharma style twisting and twirling, and you’ve landed yourself a picture-perfect hairstyle. Pick up the front section of your hair and keep twisting it as you move through the length. As you reach the back of your head, get the last bit of your hair in order by pinning it up. Gather all the hair that’s left open and pull it back into a bun. Girl, you’re ready to go.
Sonam’s Retro Wave
Create a side parting in your hair, leave a small section in the front, but tie all the locks into a bun. Don’t leave the hair loose, the slicker, the better. Now use an iron or a brush with a hair dryer to induce a wave in the left out front section of your hair. Make it sit on the forehead and apply a serum (if needed) to keep it in place. Your retro vibe is ready to rock.
Deepika’s Messy Affair
Lift the top section of your hair and back comb it to give your locks the much needed volume. Now simply collect all the hair, as casually as you usually do when tying it up at home. Twist it around and make a top knot, keeping it in place with a rubber band. You don’t need make it look neat. The point is to have some loose ends falling out naturally. What you’ve got yourself is a the sexy, out-of-the-bed look.
Priyanka’s Blunt Cut
For all of you who just can’t deal with the heat and the drama that comes along with long hair, it’s time for a royal chop. Take a cue from Priyanka Chopra and see how short hair can make you look simply adorable, especially in the heat. A side flick and a headband is just about what you need to look easy and breezy.
