The glitz quotient

Age no bar, profession no bar, hair type no bar — for all you party hoppers, there’s a hairdo to suit everyone. From gorgeous hair-let-down to OTT ramp styles to chic red-carpet fads, hair presents the best ’dos to sport this season.

Now, here’s a style that represents grace and charisma. It is an interpretation of the classic ’do with an interesting twist and a slightly ‘messy’ finish. "It's a chic hairstyle with a hint of innocence and with the right accessory to give it a personalised touch," says Dodo.

This updo is for the fashionista in you! You can’t carry off this style at an after-office party, so save it for the Page-3 events. It’s high on fashion, edgy and requires quite a personality to pull it off. "Be it a power-dressing event or a prom night, this exaggerated ballerina bun is a versatile 'do," adds Dodo.

It’s time to mesmerise everyone. Soften your curls and entwine them to make a pretty updo on the crown. Leave it classy and simple or up the glam factor with a glitzy hair pin. Walk out in style, lady; the world is yours for the taking!

A messy updo + braids + more curls = the works! Rock the party circuit with this outrageously daring ’do. A braid woven into a messy curl-up will instantly transform you into a style diva. A sexy designer gown with minimal jewellery and you are all set to enthrall. As Zing puts it, "It's a Baroque-inspired hairstyle — great for vintage gowns."

Waves in a coil put in place with a classic hair accessory… and voila you are transformed into a Hollywood beauty! This is one style that will make the shutterbugs go crazy. A style that puts wavy hair to best possible use! Confidence and allure is all you need to carry this number off.

"Here, we have a contour of waves held up with a modern twist in this daring balzo hairstyle," explains Zing. If you have a strong mass of waves, piling them high on the crown with secure clasps will do the trick for you. Polish off with a good finishing spray!

Let it down

Apart from the fantastic updos, you can also wear your hair let down. Nothing beats classic straight hair! Wear your long locks like a thick curtain that sleekly cascades down your shoulders. For voluminous tresses, add extensions to your natural hair. This look will last you through the night. Have a hairspray handy to keep stray strands in place.

A bounce and a fall — that completes this look with wavy hair. A hot favourite amongst fashionable Indian women, the wavy hair let down is an anytime-anywhere look. Easy to sport and maintain, all you need is a wide brush and a good hairspray to let you have a good time on the dance floor.

Let it down

If you are the feminine sort, soft curls framing your face is the style for you. Enhance your natural curls by dabbing them with a styling primer and scrunching them up. Straighten out a section near the roots and let the curls do the talking. Walk into a cloud of an anti-frizz spray and you are ready to go!
