Simple and elegant hairdos that are perfect for your next Diwali party

The festive calendar block brings with it the opportunity to go all out with your glam. From bedazzled ensembles to bold glossy beauty looks, your mane should also be playing the part well. 

We’ve rounded up the most elegant hairdos celebrities have pulled off with their ethnic ensembles to serve major inspiration for the festive season. Putting together a chic yet fuss-free hairdo doesn’t have to be idealistic as proven by this exhaustive list. 

Mane-parted braid  

Athiya Shetty proves there’s much merit to a braid due to its versatility and sleekness, which is also easy to put together. Elevate the three-strand and wear it out by adorning it with fresh flowers, say gajras or a red rose. 

Accessorised half bun 

The latest additions to everyone's accessory box, courtesy of Gen-Z, are Y2K style claw clips and bows, and Diana Penty proves how you can effortlessly incorporate these into your ethnic looks too. Put together a chic half-bun in a jiffy and add your preferred accessory to elevate the hairdo. Try Gold Plated Brass hair accessories from Jaypore, their collection features intricate designs that should perfectly complement your ensemble. 

Loose braid adorned with flowers

The timeless allure of flowers can't be denied as they instantly add a spark of romance to your look. Take a page out of Genelia Deshmukh’s book and turn to traditional sensibilities proving that flowers as hair accessories remain unmatched. Think a gajra-clad hairdo, or go with baby’s breath, you can never go wrong. 

Quintessential messy bun 

Ananya Panday turned showstopper for the Rohit Bal Lakmé Fashion Week show. With all eyes on her, the actor posed on the ramp with a mane-parted messy chignon for a chic finish to her ensemble. Gather your tresses and work your way up to tie the bun, tease your hair as you do this because volume is a must. Choose face-framing tendrils to instantly add an oomph to your look. This hairdo steals the spot for a no-brainer hairstyle that works for all hair lengths and textures. If you’re one who prefers a neat finish, consider going for a slicked-back bun by taming the flyaways, and a helping of gel should serve you well. 

Go with a good quality styling paste that offers a good hold for your tresses to stay in place throughout the festivities.

Classic beach waves

It’s hard to go wrong by sticking to a classic blowout option— beach waves. 

Jahnvi Kapoor plays the perfect muse to prove flowing bouncy locks are bound to always help you ace your festive looks.  

Opt for a good mist that forms a protective film over your strands and provides optimal hold and helps achieve a beachy wavy look right after you take a shower. Try Olaplex’s volumizing blow dry mist.

Half up half down

Sonam Kapoor often favors a half-up half-down hairstyle to round out her looks, and there’s much to learn from it. Cascade your tresses along your shoulders for a fluid look and keep your mane neat while drawing attention to your visage. Brownie points for ease because a simple claw clip can do the job of tucking your hair. It's a chic option that can be modified as per the occasion.
