We love Kriti Sanon’s fresh and fabulous look. For an engagement ceremony, opt for a casual twisted front. Divide your hair into a center parting and loosely twist and pin a portion of your hair to the back. Pretty pretty!   

2. Minimalistic and nice

It’s not a pony, it’s not a bun, it’s something in between and it sure is super stylish! A half updo that features a knot is perfect for a cocktail or reception. Comb and untangle your hair, use a straightener if required. Gather the mid section into a knot and leave the rest of your hair open. 

4. Puff it up!

Yet another shaadi perfect look from Kriti Sanon! Use a hair mousse to add some volume to your tresses and backcomb the crown area to create a puff. Carefully pin up the puff and use a hair spray to keep it in place.   

5. Classic elegance

For a vintage look at your friend’s wedding, opt for a hairstyle just like Sonam’s. A middle parting with loosely pinned hair that cover half your ears is such a classic and elegant hairdo. We totally love it, don’t you? 

6. Soft curls for the win

Divide your hair into sections and using a curling rod to neatly curl all your hair. Once done, all you need is two bobby pins to pin up the front section. Spritz on some hair spray to make sure it stays in place and that there are no flyaways. 

7. Sweep it to the side

For a traditional look at a shaadi function, style your hair in a messy half updo and sweep the rest of your hair to one side. You can even curl the ends for a more festive look. Decorate your hair with gajra and there you are, ready and gorgeous as ever. 

8. Beautiful in braids

For a basic traditional look that’ll complement your saree or lehenga, Madhuri Dixit’s hairstyle is so perfect. Use a tong to give your hair some tight curls and then pin up half of your hair at the back. A little flower tucked behind the ear will do just fine!
