Before making a splash in Bollywood, birthday girl Genelia D’Souza earned her success in the South Indian film industry. Not to forget, the bubbly actress also gave us the classic, adorable flick Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na that we, cinema buffs, have watched fifty times over. These days, she’s having a gala time making fun of Instagram reels. And a quick scan of her Insta feed will show you she LOVES donning fancy and fuss-free hairstyles.

As she celebrates her birthday today, we dive into Genelia’s hairstyle archives and list five of the most stunning and simple hairstyles that she sported oh-so-flawlessly. Keep scrolling!

 

Beach waves FTW

Beach waves FTW

We know, long, poker-straight hair can often get monotonous. To make things edgier and more dramatic, take hairstyle cues from Genelia’s long beach waves that you can easily achieve by braiding multiple sections of your hair, pressing it for a few seconds with a pre-heated straightener and unbraiding after a couple of minutes. And voila; beach waves just like that!

 

Slicked back hairdo

Genelia’s slicked-back hairstyle is giving us major hairstyle goals and we just can’t keep calm. This one is an uber-cool hairdo that will make you look power-dressed even on a lazy weekday!

 

Lazy half-up bun

A half-up bun is easily one of the most fuss-free hairstyles that will help you waltz from AM to PM effortlessly and Genelia is proof! We love how the actress has sported this chic hairstyle with her wavy, red-tinted tresses.

 

Flirty French mohawk braid

A French mohawk braid has to be one of the most tried hairstyles by B-Town celebrities. And if you haven’t jumped on this bandwagon yet, then let Genelia inspire you with her version of a half-up and half-down mohawk braid. On centre-parted hair, she braided both sides of her top hair section into French braids and pinned them up behind.

 

High ponytail

The best thing about ponytails is that you don’t have to try too hard to make them look perfect. Take for instance Genelia’s combed-back high ponytail that you can recreate in less than five minutes and style with any and every outfit.
