Let’s face it. It’s a cruel summer. And a lot more cruel to our hair. Product build up, a sweaty mane and damage due to the heat are some of the problems we will be facing. But help is on hand. I’ve rounded up 5 easy hairstyles that our favourite celebrities have been spotted with. They’re easy to do and can help you step out stylishly this summer. Want to know which one they are?
1) The Fish Tail Braid
I personally love the fishtail braid. If you have long hair and don’t want to wear it as is, opt for this style. It’s less school-girl and more high-fashion. Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma are ardent fans.
2) The Pixie Cut
Summer is the best time to go for the chop. If you’re worried it may be deemed as to boyish, try getting a side-swept fringe like Anne Hathaway did – it looks feminine and you can sweep it back or pin it with a pretty barrette.
3) The Braided Updo
Chignons are so passe. If you really want to create some drama opt for a braided updo. Braid one section of your hair and pin back. Sweep a few strands out to make it artfully messy – you don’t want to look pageant-y!
4) The Textured Ponytail
Ironing your hair during summer would cause even more damage to your locks. Instead of a super sleek ponytail opt for some texture. Add a coin sized amount of mousse on damp hair and scrunch. Back comb the crown area and fasten with a rubber band. Voila! Textured ponytail!
5) The Messy Curls
We crave for a hairstyle where we could just wash our hair and go. So imagine our delight when we spotted Priyanka sporting the messy curl/wavy do. Wanna try this out? Apply serum to damp hair and plait your hair and leave overnight. Open it out in the morn and instant curls.
