The constant splashing rain and the peaking humidity during monsoon can wreak havoc on our hair, turning the prettiest hairstyles into a mess. But, if you learn how to crack the code and sport the most befitting hairstyles, you’ll look amazing, come what may! To make it easier for you, Vidhi Arya from Professional Beauty India brings you some monsoon hairstyles inspired by our B’town beauties.
As Monsoon brings in untameable frizz and heart-breaking breakage, it’s a time to keep aside your styling tools and let the hair be. As you embrace your natural texture and combat humidity, the ride can be demotivating in itself. So, here are our Bollywood divas inspiring us with some easy, good-looking, and weather-appropriate monsoon hairstyles.
Slick It Back, Ladies
When the frizz is at an all-time high, nothing is better than a slick back bun or ponytail. Wrap your hair in a low or a mid-high bun and slick back the front sections with a good hairstyling product like a mousse, wax, or hair gel. You can experiment with your parting to create a look that flatters you the most. In that case, part your hair first and neatly comb it back into a bun, smoothening the front.
Messy Bun Is Great Fun
It’s a great way to tame unruly hair during monsoon. Since it’s supposed to look messy, no rules apply, and you don’t have to worry as much about the final outcome. Comb out all knots and tangles, gather the hair near the crown and secure it in a messy bun with a thin rubber band or a scrunchie. You can tuck out some sections of the hair and comb out others till you are satisfied with the look. At the end of it all, secure the hairdo with some hairspray.
All Hail, Ponytail
Everyone loves a loose ponytail; comfortable and chic, all at once. You can decide the height and play around with whether you like it backcombed or with a partition, You can start by teasing the hair a little at the crown and combing down into a ponytail. With some texturising spray, you can add a lot of volume to your ponytail to make it look full of life.
The Half Updo, For Me and For You.
This classic hairstyle fits all locations, occasions, and even weather conditions. For those who are not comfortable with tying up their hair, this is a great hairstyle to try. You can amp it up with a half-bun. Or, you can braid the tied half of the hair. Or, you can also experiment with some tendrils or braided sections going from the front to the back. The versatility of this style makes it a super-hit!
It’s Time To Embrace Your Natural Texture
Since monsoon is not a good time for intricate styling, as it will all wash off due to rain and humidity, it’s a good time to find ways to embrace your natural texture. You can experiment with texturising sprays or products that offer hold and shine to make your hair look healthy and happy. Also, if you aim to go out with bare hair, serum is your best friend.
The Tendrils Trend
Tendrils are a fun way to accentuate a monsoon hairstyle. Whether you slick it back or opt for messy buns and ponytails, you can pick out tendrils from the front section for an added finish. You can opt for as neatly pulled-out tendrils as you like or as messy as you want. You can also play around with partitioning your hair – middle, right or left. Or, you can pull out a few after back-combing all your hair. There are no rules.
