1. Alia Bhatt
It’s Alia Bhatt’s world and we are living in it. The multi-hyphenate, while accepting her National Award for the best actress, donned a French bun. The cherry on the top? The white roses – add a retro twist to the elegant look. If you wish to recreate this hairstyle as a Navratri hairstyle – start by puffing up your natural tresses for volume on the crown. Now, tie your natural (slightly tousled) locks in a low, loose pony. For the grand finale, twist and pin this pony into a bun. If you can’t find fresh flowers, grab this juda pin from Nykaa for a chic avatar.

2. Deepika Padukone
‘Not a single hair out of place’ is how I would describe DP’s hairstyle, the sleek bun. It is minimal, functional, jaw-dropping, and perfect for a Navratri garba hairstyle. Start with wet tresses or lather a considerable amount of gel onto the strands (for freshly washed hair). Avoid applying the formulation onto the roots, as it may weigh down your mane. Now, with a boar bristle comb-brush your mane back and secure it into a ponytail. Twist the ponytail into a bun while ensuring the strays don’t spike. P.S. You can don this hairdo even with supremely greasy hair. I call that a WIN!

3. Kiara Advani
Free-flowing and alluring, Kiara’s beachy waves look is the perfect fit as a Navratri hairstyle. It is effortless and flatters all skin shapes (no exceptions). To get Kaira’s ‘pretty in pink’ look, start with a generous spray of heat protectant on the tresses. Next, create two sections in the mane, in a half-up, half-down fashion. (P.S. I recommend tackling the lower half first with the curling wand). Now, wrap a section of your hair around the curling wand, hold it for ten seconds, and release it to form defined coils.

4. Khushi Kapoor
The ‘Archies’ star made her debut appearance at the coveted Paris Fashion Week. Although clad in a gold outfit– Khushi's power braid stole the show for me. An embodiment of confidence sprinkled with laid-back elegance, you too can perfect the sleek braid at home. Use a brush to smoothen out your hair (in and around the crown), plaiting the length into a low tail. If your hair is extremely frizzy, summon a flyaway stick for the desired impeccable finish.

The newly-minted mom, Sonam Kapoor, shows us how to work an Ariana Grand-sque pony with panache.

6. Aditi Rao Hydari
Aditi Rao Hydari has a knack for acing ethnic looks. In a gem from the actor’s Insta handle, we see her rocking a fishtail. This three-strand braid is one of the best Navratri hairstyles – equal parts bohemian and elegant. To recreate Aditi’s ‘do at home, create two sections along the length of your hair, let’s call it A and B. Now, take a lock of hair from the first section (A) and transfer it to the other side. Repeat this process- take a lock of hair from the second section and shift it to side A to create the best fishtail.
