First up we have Sonam Kapoor’s beach, romantic waves to wear on breezy days and be caught in the wind! Sleep with your hair braided in multiple loose plaits, blowdry once in the morning and open them. The natural waves won’t require any heat styling and sit pretty under the sun.

I personally love pigtails...they are silly, trendy and nostalgic of a carefree childhood. What better way than to enjoy summer than a pair of easy-to-do lazy pigtails. We love Sara Ali Khan’s trick of sectioning the pigtails with hair tires. It looks so cool!
