It’s that time of the year when almost every house in India is lit with bright lights, hearts filled with love, sweet delicacies being prepared, and gifts getting exchanged. Diwali is around the corner, and it’s the right time to deck up in the most lovely-looking traditional outfits plus a nice hairstyle to go with it.

So, as we talk about Diwali hairstyles, let’s dive deeper and check five simple, elegant, and easy traditional hairstyles that will complement your Diwali look perfectly.

 

1. The Traditional Hair Bun

The first one on the list has to be the sleek bun. For starters, you need some key products handy to enhance the look of your bun. A good heat protector, a serum, a hair oil, and a hairspray are some products that you need to keep ready. Now let’s break down the exact method to create a nice hair bun.

Steps:

Step 1 - Apply a good heat protector and blow-dry your tresses 

Step 2 - Next, use a tail comb and create a middle or a side parting. 

Step 3 - After that, you can apply a styling gel to hide the flyaways (not necessary, only if needed).

Step 4 - Post that, pull all your hair back into a tight low ponytail using a brush. Twist the ponytail with the help of some hairpins. 

Step 5 - Once you have got the bun right, you can finally apply a light hair oil such as the Parachute Advansed Jasmine Coconut Hair Oil for shiny and manageable hair. 

Pro-Tip: To avoid excessive use of the blow dryer, work these steps on damp hair. 

 

2. The Messy Side Braid

 

This is a quick-fix for a Diwali night that’s easy-breezy and doesn’t require large effort. Some practice and you’re almost there!

Steps:

Step 1 - Divide your hair into two parts. Pull your hair on the other side and create 4 sections. Begin with the left-most section and start crossing it under and over the other parts in an alternative manner.

Step 2 - Repeat this process right till you reach the end of your hair, forming a braid.

Step 3 - Once there, secure your hair braid with the help of a good elastic/rubber band so that the braid remains intact.

Step 4 - For the messy look, simply use your fingers or a tail comb and tease the strands out.

 

3. The Sleek Pony

Who says the ponytail is out of fashion? A simple, elegant ponytail can be your go-to choice for a Diwali party, combined with a nice Desi attire. 

Steps:

Step 1 - First things first, you need to detangle your hair just right to ensure the ponytail turns out to be a smooth one.

Step 2 - Next, blow-dry your hair for the straight look, and not to forget, a good hair serum, or a heat protectant is a must before you expose your tresses to the excess heat.

Step 3 - Gather your hair to the crown of your head and create a strong ponytail with the help of a hair tie/band. If you prefer a middle-partition, then begin these steps by first creating a middle-part in your head. 

Step 4 - You can also use a curling iron to jazz up the ponytail, as it will enhance the texture and provide nice layers.

Step 5 - Finally, to ensure that the ponytail look doesn’t spoil and stays intact, use a nice hairspray for the right finishing. 

 

4. The Wavy Hair Look

 

From an ethnic outfit to a party occasion, the wavy hair look will always rule the roost. If you get the technique right, you can never go wrong with this Diwali hairstyle for short hair or long hair. 

Steps:

Step 1 - Wash your hair and blow-dry to soften the texture of your hair first.

Step 2 - Make use of a triple barrel tong or a curler, picking every section of your hair one by one.

Step 3 - Brush out your hair next, with the help of a detangling comb. For those who don’t wish to use the curler, you can simply scrunch your hair with your fingers until the natural waves start appearing.

Step 4 - Spritz a hairspray to ensure the hair remains in place.

Step 5 - You can do a side or middle parting and let your wavy tresses flow naturally, depending on the outfit and your preference.

Pro-Tip: Always remember to not use any hair products directly on the scalp as it could negatively impact the overall health of your hair.  

 

5. The Low Bun With A Side Braid

 

We have learned to do the simple bun hairstyle and the messy braids in the above-mentioned steps. How about combining the two classic styles? The end result- a chic, polished hairstyle that’s going to amp up your Diwali look.

Steps:

Step 1 -  After washing and blow-drying your hair, start forming the braids on any one side of your choice.

Step 2 - Do a side part, pick thin strands, and begin creating the side braid with your fingers, by alternating the strands under and over, until a nice braid is formed.

Step 3 - Once the side braid is ready, gather your hair into a low ponytail and wrap the tie or band over the hair.

Step 4 - Create a low bun and use your fingers if you want a messy bun look.

Step 5 - If you’re not quite happy with just one side braid, you can first create 2 similar-length braids on both sides of the hair by creating a middle partition and then repeat the next steps for the final side braided low bun.

We are hoping that these five most simple yet effective and stylish Diwali hairstyles for long hair and short hair will definitely add the zing to your Diwali festivities.
