Ace the zero-summer game with these tress styles
Hair care woes are neverending during the dog days of summer. It’s time to get creative, so here are some celeb-approved hairdos to beat the heat
THE HANDY HAIRCUT
If hairdos are too much effort, haircuts are to the rescue. Actor Shraddha Kapoor, too, joined the list of celebs who have rocked the bob cut to fight the rapidly rising mercury. A no makeup look with a jeans-and-tee combo was Kapoor’s pick, as she revealed her short-haired look that inspired many wavy-haired girlies. The bonus is, you can style it flexibly to suit your hair type.
BRAID-MINDED
Locking in moisture, protecting the scalp or the unbeaten style it lends to your look, the hairdo doesn’t let down (pun intended). This look by Zendaya is a testament to the braid’s prowess — the brown blazer, maroon nails, green and gold accessories betray an old-world charm. Broad braids part the actor’s hair from the middle and two smaller braids are styled snake-like along the parting to cast a curious spell. The French, Dutch or the fishtail braid are some variations to try.
TWIST IN THE BUN
The bun is a summer staple, versatile and customisable for any look. Take a look at actor Khushi Kapoor’s ethnic twist, paired with a sheer white saree. A fine necklace and rings highlight her golden bangle and chunky ear studs. Her warm yellow and white colour palette is perfectly matched with this rendition of the hairdo — a middle parting ending in low knot, with curtain flicks shaping her face delicately.
SLEEK ET STYLISH
Model Hailey Rhode Baldwin Bieber weaponises a sleek hairdo with this satin dress to serve a sharp and shiny look. Her square-necked white mini dress is accompanied by a silver ring and dewy makeup. Glitter eyeshadow complements her freckles as Bieber takes on the bow trend in a babe-core ensemble. Neatly pulled back and half tied, this hairdo allows your neck to breathe and adds the chic factor to any summer style. You can add a minimalistic necklace to finish the look, or go au naturel, just like the model.
METICULOUSLY MESSY
Red dress? Check. Hair twist? Check. Makeup mogul Kylie Jenner opts for the timeless faux mess. What sets the hairdo apart is the revival of Y2K’s face-framing tendrils in the form of a single curled strand on the forehead. The gleaming bronze and brown makeup accentuates the soft curls. The refined chignon can be achieved in different hair lengths.
