This dreamy bridal hair bun is perfect for receptions and cocktail parties if you are wearing a pastel lehenga or saree. Here's how you can recreate it.

Step 1: Dab your hair with Livon Professional Smoothening Serum before you use a heating appliance on your hair. Use a curling iron to create loose curls throughout your hair for added texture.
Step 2: Gather your hair into a high or mid ponytail and secure it with a hair elastic.

A Starry Half Ponytail

A starry night needs a hairstyle that makes you feel like you are made of the constellations and shine bright amongst all the people celebrating your special day. A beautiful half-updo with glittery pearls and statement embellishments is what sangeet and wedding dreams are made of. Here's how you can recreate this glamorous hairdo for an Indian wedding:
Tutorial:
Step 1: If your hair is naturally straight or has some waves, this style will work best. Use a bit of a curl cream on damp hair and scrunch up your hair to define the curls, or use some hair clay wax for added texture and hold if needed.
Step 2: Use a comb to divide the top half of your hair into small sections. Now individually make smaller braids of these strands and bring them towards the back of your head to make a half ponytail.
Step 3: Use a few bobby pins to secure the braids in place, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the rest of your hair.
Step 4: Use pearl pins or pearl-studded bobby pins to embellish your twist. Place them evenly apart along the twist for a balanced appearance.
If using individual pearls, dot a small dab of eyelash glue or specialised hair adhesive on each pearl and place them gently onto the hair. Add a pretty hair accessory near the half updo to enhance the look.
Step 5: Lightly spray your hair with a medium-hold hairspray to tame any flyaways and keep your style in place. Adjust the pearls and twist as needed for a polished look.
A Stunning Blowout

If complex hairstyles with too many steps and accessories wear you down and all you want is to have fun dancing to your sangeet song without fretting about your hairdo, then this simple hairstyle is a classic example of how to keep things uncomplicated and fun. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Use a Livon Style Pro Keratin Serum to guard your hair against heat damage from styling tools.
Step 2: Blow dry your hair. Focus on lifting the roots with your fingers to create volume. If you want extra volume, flip your head upside down while drying to give your roots a boost.
Step 3: Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips. Typically, 4-6 sections work well, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Use a round brush and start blow-drying the bottom section. Place the brush underneath the section at the roots and direct the nozzle of your blow dryer downward to minimise frizz.
Step 4: Slowly roll the brush down to your ends, using tension and rotating the brush to add a slight curl or bend at the ends. Repeat this process for all sections.
With this, our exquisite guide for bridal hair styles for long hair and short hair comes to an end. So go ahead and make all the heads turn with your gorgeous manes and make sure you enjoy your special day to the fullest.
