With Diwali around the corner, it is time to elevate your festive look with the perfect hairstyle. Whether you’re dressing up for a family gathering or heading to a party with friends, make a powerful statement this Diwali with these easy yet stylish hairdos recommended by celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim.
Here are his recommended hairstyles using just a good quality hair wax, to compliment your festive attire.
- Slicked back hairstylePerfect for a last-minute fix, this hairstyle offers a clean, sophisticated look. Start by pushing the hair on the top upwards, away from the forehead. Take a coin sized amount of a styling Gel wax, rub it evenly between your palms and then apply it while pushing the hair diagonally upwards. Using this water-based transparent wax provides high hold with a slick and shiny finish.
- The faded faux hawk hairstyleIf you’re looking to make a bold statement that lasts through long Diwali celebrations, the faded faux hawk is your go-to. With short, faded sides and strong volume on top, this style has just the right amount of edge. To create this look, take a small amount of wax and apply it on your hair, styling it upwards. Faux Hawk is a modern mohawk with texture and volume on sides tapering into drop fade. For a more defined look, opt for a styling clay wax that provides an ultra-matte finish that lasts throughout the day.
- The Indian pompadour hairstyleA modern twist to the classic pompadour, this style is ideal for those with medium to thick hair. Start with blow drying your hair while lifting the roots for volume. Shape the top into a high, swept-back style using a comb, and finish with a styling matte wax for a defined look that maintains a natural appearance with minimal gloss.
To achieve these looks, Aalim Hakim suggests using Set Wet’s range of hair waxes, suitable for all hair types. These waxes not only help create defined styles but are also free of alcohol and harmful chemicals like sulphates, keeping your hair healthy and moisturized. So, grab your favourite hair wax, try these easy-to-create looks, and step into the celebrations with confidence and style.
