The festive season is the perfect time to experiment with your look and make a bold statement. Whether you’re heading to a family gathering, a grand celebration, or an intimate get-together, a striking hairstyle can elevate your entire appearance. This guide walks you through some versatile and glamorous hairstyles, perfect for any festive occasion, as shared by two top industry experts.
Classic Waves for Timeless Elegance
As Dastagir Sayed, Technical Head at Artisto, explains, “Classic waves are your go-to hairstyle if you’re looking to keep things elegant yet effortless.” Soft waves add volume and bounce, making them perfect for both long and medium-length hair. The waves give off a glamorous vibe while remaining natural and easy to style. For a festive touch, accessorize with vibrant floral pins or pearl headbands to complement your look.
Sleek Styles and Voluminous Curls to Complement Your Festive Attire
Vipul Chudasama, Creative Director, Ikonic Professional, emphasizes the importance of pairing the right hairstyle with your festive attire. “Whether you’re getting ready for a glamorous night out or planning a cozy get-together with family during Navratri, Karwa Chauth, or Diwali, your hair needs to complement your festive outfit and make you feel confident and radiant,” he says.
Chudasama notes that professional styling tools like dryers, straightening irons, and curling tongs are essential for achieving flawless hairstyles. “For a sleek and polished look, a straightening iron is your best friend,” he advises. Begin by blow-drying your hair with a high-performance hair dryer to ensure a smooth, frizz-free base. After that, use a straightening iron on small sections of your hair to create a shiny, sleek finish. This style pairs perfectly with traditional outfits such as sarees or gowns, adding an elegant touch.
Sleek Ponytail for Chic Simplicity
A sleek, high ponytail offers chic simplicity for those who prefer a modern and minimalistic appearance. Sayed highlights that this hairstyle works beautifully for both casual and formal events, and it’s incredibly versatile. You can pair this look with statement earrings or bold makeup to further enhance your festive style. A sleek ponytail can make any outfit, traditional or contemporary, look polished and sophisticated.
Braids for a Boho Vibe
For those who love a touch of boho chic, braids are a perennial festive favorite. “Braids offer versatility and style, whether you choose intricate fishtail braids or simple three-strand braids,” says Sayed. You can elevate your braided look by adding festive hair accessories like beads or threads for extra flair, making it perfect for festive celebrations.
Updos for Sophistication
Updos are classic and timeless, exuding sophistication and grace. Sayed suggests that whether you opt for a neat bun or a textured updo, this style never fails to impress. Perfect for both formal and festive occasions, updos also allow for creative accessorizing with jeweled pins or ornate clips to enhance the overall look.
Romantic Waves or Bold Curls for Added Glamour
If you’re aiming for soft, romantic waves, Chudasama recommends using a curling tong. “Wrap larger sections of hair around the barrel for loose, natural-looking waves. It’s an effortless style that adds volume and movement, making it ideal for festive parties and celebrations,” he says. For those who prefer a bolder look, defined curls created with a curling tong can make a striking statement. This style works especially well for shorter hair or to add texture to a classic updo. Finish the look with vibrant accessories like jeweled pins for an extra festive flair.
Achieve Picture-Perfect Hairstyles with Professional Tools
According to Chudasama, high-quality styling tools can make a significant difference in achieving your desired look. Whether you’re using a dryer for a blowout, an iron for sleek styles, or tongs for textured waves, these tools ensure your hair looks smooth, shiny, and picture-perfect. “Ikonic is here to ensure you’re picture-perfect for every festive celebration,” Chudasama says, emphasizing the role professional-grade tools play in achieving salon-quality results at home.
