For many, runways have always meant couture which has generally been understood as inaccessible fashion. While that's true in many cases, the one place it isn't is at Lakme Fashion Week. On day 3 of the spring summer edition, the showcase saw plenty of accessibility in the form of hairdos. Hairstyles on the runway were chic, fashion-forward and most important, wearable. Here's a look at 6 of those runway hairstyles from Lakme Fashion Week that you can try yourself.
For the Amoh show by Jade, models wore their hair down straight with a strong centre parting and low ponytail tied at the nape. Just what's needed for a Monday morning presentation, we think.
As showstopper for the same show, Kalki Koechlin sported a striking hairdo with her hair worn in large shiny curls and a statement-making fringe right down the centre. Nothing like this breezy look for a day time lunch with the girls.
The next time you slip on your Indian wear, don't get tied up between tiring buns and confusing braids. Simply try Gaurang's runway hairstyle, the scarf ponytail. Where the hair tie would usually be, the ponytail is wrapped with a matching scarf for a simple, colourful touch. It really doesn't get any easier than this.
When you can't decide whether to pull it up or throw it down, take notes from Ka:Sha's show and opt for a half ponytail hairstyle. Along with the laidback Indian wear, this showed off shiny waves on the lower layers with a half ponytail tied at the back of the crown. Even hairstyle newbies can give this a try.
No, you don't need to hide under a blanket the next time you have a bad hair day. Take notes from the 431-888 by Shweta Kapur show and wear a low ponytail with a black head wrap. Not only does it require little to no effort, it'll make sure no one knows a thing about those frizzy hair days.
For a rare celebrity statement that you can actually pull off, look no further than Sonakshi Sinha's look. Along with an androgynous embroidered suit, Sonakshi wore her hair in a deep side part with stiff waves and a braided accent on one side. Saturday night 'do, anyone?
