Engagement Hairstyle Ideas Inspired by Bollywood

Engagements are the one event where you can probably let your hair loose and fancy-free and if you are wondering how exactly to style your locks - look no further than Bollywood. Celebs may bend over backwards to outdo their individual style every award season, but in the end, the winner is us.  Take hairdos, for example. The lines between modern and traditional are only blurring further, and so, the more you look at the following, the more you’d want to try them regardless of what style your outfit veers towards. Here go eight stunning red carpet hairstyle sightings that make for amazing updos for your engagement:

Extreme Side sweep 

Flirtatious and fun, Kriti’s hairdo is astoundingly simple yet won’t fail to make an impression. Make sure you spritz a shine spray to highlight ‘em waves!

Simple Twisty sides

  Keep it soft and natural with a non side twist on one on both side, and with loose curls down your shoulders.

Braided Bun

But… if you’d like to keep your hair tamed and in place, how about a braided bun like DP’s? Regal and no-fuss, this is one hairdo that never goes wrong!

Pouf plait

How frolic is this pouf plait by PC? It’s amazing how this hairdo works as well on western outfits as it does on, say, an embellished Pakistani kurta with palazzos, or a floral ghaghra-choli combo!

Side bun with plait 

Side buns lend your look a fun Grecian touch, instantly elevating any outfit you opt for. While there are multiple ways to don a side bun, we particularly love Yami’s do here with a cutesy plait.

Glittery Hair Accessories with Vintage Curls

Aditi Rao Hydari keeps it vintage with structured curls and a glittery hair clip!

Tiny braids

Safe to say that braids are all the rage! Whether in a bun updo, or as part of a sweet, cheery half-up-half-down do a la Sonam!

Sweet pony 

Here’s a versatile hairstyle that’s sure to work on almost any outfit you choose for your Mehendi! Easy-peasy with just a hint of romantic, this hairstyle makes for a welcome change.  

Soft side swept bun

Not the usual aunty bun, but on with oodles of character and style!

Mathapatti with Open Hair

Look like a goddess with this style - a regal matha patti with open curly hair.
