Do you remember the days your dresser was occupied with bobby pins, clutches and butterfly clips? Back then, elastic hair bands and fluffy scrunchies were a rage too. In fact, I still love them! The good part is that some of our Bollywood hotties have started flaunting them in their movies too! If you’ve got these hair accessories lying around at home, now is the time to bring them out. Take pictorial inspiration from these celebs and learn how to use your childhood hair accessories as a grown up. Good luck!
1. Deepika Padukone in Piku
Butterfly clips, bobby pins, mini claws and ribbons, you name it, you too can style your mane like Deepika! When shopping for clips you can either pick all of them in the same shade or pick colours that complement each other. While you’re at it, don’t forget to play around with colourful hair extensions too.
