Bollywood-Inspired Hairstyles For Your Wedding Day

A would-be bride might be dreaming to style like Aishwarya Rai or Kareena Kapoor on your D-day. You cannot afford exclusive latest lehenga designs by Bollywood designers or exquisite jewellery as worn by Kareena Kapoor on her D-day. But Bollywood-inspired hairstyles are surely something you can adorn with no additional costs.

Indian bridal hairstyles are essentially traditional with braids, puffs, buns and side locks. But hairstyles have undergone great and interesting changes today. And it is the Bollywood divas who are setting the trend looking stylish within tradition. So no wonder, many girls try and recreate the hairstyles of their favourite celebrity. Even stylists attempt to recreate Bollywood-inspired styles for brides.

Aishwarya Rai: Aishwarya’s bridal look in Jodhaa Akhbar and Devdas has inspired many brides and hairstylists. They brought back braids and the concept of simple hairstyles with ethnic ornaments. Inspired by this look, you can try a simple braided hairstyle, bejewelled with kundan jewellery. This will ensure you look queenly on your D-day.

Karishma Kapoor: If you love buns and if suits your face, Karishma Kapoor can be an inspiration for you. Her typical bahu looks in movies like Biwi No.1 with a gajra around the bun is a hairstyle option. This gives a neat look with Indian wedding dresses.

Vidya Balan: Vidya Balan’s trendy look with those short waves on her face is super classy for any bride. Try this look on your wedding day with a trendy bun along with a few short curly strands on both sides.

Short or Long? Curly or Straight?

Women with round faces: Women with round faces like Bipasha Basu should go for straight looks rather than waves. This gives a slimming effect. Waves for Bips often look like a tangled mess.

Women with strong jaw lines: Kareena Kapoor has got a strong jaw-line and straight hair gives a softer feel to it. So, if you have a strong jaw-line like Kareena, go for straight looks rather than curls. Curls will make your face look more angular.

Women with scanty hair: Women with scanty hair like Katrina Kaif can make it look luscious while letting it be straight. Being scanty, her hair looks thin when curled.

For bubbly women: For bubbly women like Preity Zinta, curly hairstyles can do wonders. Her wet-and-curly look in Dil Chahta Hai can inspire your bridal hairstyle, to compliment your bubbly looks and dimple cheeks.

Choose hairstyles based on comfort on top of all!

Whatever be the bridal hairstyle you choose, the most important factor while choosing it is comfort. The style you choose should also match with your personality and your wedding dress. You should ask your stylist to try multiple hairstyles on you before the D-day. And choose which hairdo best suits your face and makes you comfortable.

Lastly, make sure that you are happy with your looks on your day! This will reflect on your face and enhance the bridal glow!
