We are girls! We can’t be faulted for being painfully particular about our hairstyles. We get our hairstyle inspirations from celebrity looks and of course the fast fashion currently winning the mob on various social media platforms. We often find ourselves drooling over certain style guru’s amazing hairdo or a celebrity’s current haircut.

Messy buns are the best hairstyles not only with cocktail dresses but also with fusion and traditional dresses. These hairstyles are perfect for medium to long hair. You might even try these on shoulder-length hair. Though awfully chic, these messy buns are quick and very simple to do. They are not partial to anyone hair type; be it curly or straight, they still look fabulous. Don’t forget to use gold or silver stud accessories for extra oomph!
How to do:
Comb the hair and separate the bangs with a clip. Make a ponytail with the rest of the hair. You don’t have to be neat with the ponytail. You can also do a one-sided ponytail to get a one-sided bun. Now do a quick wrap-around bun or chignon bun with the ponytail hair. Secure it with bobby pins. Now, comb the bangs and make a messy side-parting or no-parting. Wrap the loose ends of the bangs around the bun in the back and pin them with more bobby pins.

Balayage is a special kind of highlighting where the rough sections of hair are highlighted in a manner that no obvious root can be visible. This French hairstyling technique gives a more natural look than traditional highlighting. That is the reason behind the immense popularity of this hairstyle. In balayage, the base colour is dark and the highlight colour is just 3-4 shades lighter than the base. It gives a more natural and fuller look if the base colour is kept as natural as possible.
Fishtail Mohawk

Traditional mohawk braids are generally done on the crown of the head but this fusion hairstyle uses three or five braids of mohawk style. This is a perfect day to day look that you can carry to your gym as well!
How to do:
Make a neat ear to ear parting at the back of the head. Leave the hair at the back and make five sections from the rest of the hair. Make fishtail braids out of each section. Finish at halfway through the back hair and tie each braid separately.
