QUESTION

Hi Petrica,

With Diwali around the corner, I would like to pick an elegant hairstyle that will make me look feminine yet feisty. All five dresses have been selected, but choosing hairstyles to pair with them has never been easy for me. Can you help me with some last-minute hairstyles?

Love,

Jolly!

ANSWER

Hi Jolly,

Once October arrives, the season of festivities begins and the vibes are palpable. Yet, Diwali is the one festival where everyone dresses fancy and looks drop-dead gorgeous in their Diwali pictures. However, you can always update your hairstyle with some last-minute hairstyles.

Last-minute hairstyles that will never fail!

Flowy curls

Whether you’re attending Diwali puja at home or work, loose curls will look great with all the traditional dresses and even Indo-western wear. Feel the bong vibe this Diwali by curling your wavy hair and making your gram pictures stand out.

Straight-haired high pony

The easiest way to manage and style hair is to keep it straight. It is not a hassle to choose a hairstyle if you have straight hair. You can, however, straighten your hair locks and then style them however you like for a crisper and more finished look. When it comes to not wanting open hair, nothing beats a crown style. Put your hair in a high ponytail after straightening it and clipping it with pins to give a small puff.

Crimped hair

Tired of the same old straight and curly hairstyles? This year, try crimping your hair to break up traditional curls and bring back the retro look with a modern touch. With crimping, you can accentuate your bid OOTD by giving your wavy or straight hair perfect bends!

Middle-partitioned open hair

Give your freshly shampooed hair a fresh blow dry using a hairdryer if you don’t know what to do with it. After your hair has dried up, use the hair straightener to get polished and shiny strands. You can brush the hair and leave one side open or the middle partition open.

There you have it! Here’s how you can slay your look this holiday season! Please let me know how it turns out.

Love,

Petrica!
