The half rose bun has gotta be our favourite hairstyle. It’s pretty and super easy to make. For this hairstyle, all you gotta do is divide your hair into two halves and pull back the front half of your hair to make a simple three-strand braid at the back of your head. Once done, twist and wrap the braid where you wish for the rose bun to sit and secure it with a U-pin. Easy-peasy!
02. Statement hair accessory

Take a leaf out of Kiara Advani’s book and see how the actress has amped up a simple fishtail braid by adding a golden chain and lace to her hair. The simple addition made her hair the highlight of the look without much effort.

Gorgeous and classy, this half-up braid is all this and more. Perfect for when you’re running late for your Diwali parties, this hairstyle needs you to do the bare minimum to make your hair look stunning. Start by parting your hair in the middle and taking a section from each side to make a simple braid, falling backwards. Once the braids from each side reach the back of your head, just secure it with a hair tie and you’re good to go.
05. Messy braided updo
