Sun is brighter, skies are clearer and the heat has gone through the roof probably into another dimension. We are bang in the middle of April, and I am already contemplating just getting a pixie. I would have done it too, but my Instagram stalking bought long hair saviour, the amazing Karisma Kapoor to my rescue. Her braided updo was just what I needed to keep hair off my neck this season.
What I noticed first about this versatile hairstyle is that it can be worn with anything. You can be in an Indian outfit, casual denim or even a sundress and this hairstyle would work with them all! Another great this about this kind of an updo is that it can be done on second and third-day hair. So this is ideal to keep your greasy roots from dampening your mojo.
Let’s get a closer look.
This updo looks complicated but is rather simple to do if you have brushed up on your braiding skills. Make a deep side part and take most of your hair on one side leaving about a 4-inch section on the smaller side. Start Dutch braiding the smaller section to the absolute end and secure with a clear elastic. Then, leaving a few locks in the front to frame your face, take the rest of the hair in the large section and make it into a messy bun at the nape. Now take the braid and wrap it around the messy bun and pin the ends in place. Just take a toothbrush soaked in hairspray to tame flyaways, and you’re ready for whatever it is that you’re planning on doing!
