It’s true; your hairstyle holds the power to completely change and elevate your look. Once your outfit and makeup are locked in place, it’s time to zero in on your hairstyle for the big day—but there are multiple factors to consider. For instance, if you’re having a beach wedding, there might be merit in going with a style that is durable and keeps frizz under control. Then, there’s the overall vibe of the function—have you planned a classic, more traditional ceremony, or a fun, after-hours cocktail party? Lastly, and most importantly, it’s also essential to consider the texture of your hair.
Curly hair is infamously trickier to style, but that shouldn’t stop you from having the most picture-perfect hairdo for your big day. Below, find three effortless hairstyles for every wedding function and vibe—and our best product recommendations to recreate them.

Messy low bun
When in doubt, go for classic. This low, loose bun is fairly easy to recreate and pairs well with most Indian outfits. You will especially like this option if you prefer a comfortable, low-maintenance hairdo that won’t require many touch-ups throughout the day. Extra points since it also keeps your hair out of your face (particularly beneficial for day or summer weddings).
To recreate this look, use a shine-boosting gel to ensure that your curls are super hydrated and glossy. Section a few strands from the crown to allow them to fall loosely for some face-framing tendrils. Finish with a setting spray to hold the look in place.

Fishtail braid with a center part
Another versatile hairstyle that works well for almost all wedding nuptials is the classic braid. For an elevated twist, explore French braid, Dutch braid or a fishtail braid to try on your special day. A fishtail braid is fairly simple to achieve and creates volume around the crown, while adding length at the back.
To recreate this look, apply a hydrating cream near the roots and create a sleek centre part. Allow a few face-framing strands to fall freely and finish with a shine spray all over.

Voluminous half updo
If you want to ditch the more traditional hairdos in favour of something more unconventional or fun, this half updo is for you. Perfect for cocktail evenings, sangeet night or even haldi or engagement functions, this hairstyle truly allows for your natural curls to shine through.
To recreate this look, apply a volumising mousse on damp, freshly washed hair to define your curls. Then, follow up with a curl gel to add hydration and lustre. Next, section your hair into two parts at the crown, securing the top half into a high pony and finish off with a soft hold spray.
