## About Romantic Waves & Open Hair

Holding a perfect wave on Indian hair can be tricky, especially in our humidity. I rely on a combination of base crimping for volume and professional-grade texturizing sprays to ensure your style doesn't drop by the time you hit the dance floor. If you are looking for that extra length or drama, I can seamlessly blend in your clip-in extensions during the styling process.

### My Approach to Open Hair

I treat every open hair style as a structural challenge. The goal is to make it look effortless, but the foundation needs to be solid. 

**Hollywood Waves vs. Soft Curls**
- **Hollywood Waves:** This is all about precision. I use a deep side part and structured, uniform curls to create that vintage, high-glam look. It works best for evening receptions and cocktail parties where you want a polished aesthetic.
- **Soft Romantic Curls:** If you prefer something more natural, we go for looser, voluminous waves. I pull the hair back slightly or do a half-up style to keep it away from your face, which is perfect for Sangeet or Mehendi functions where you are moving around a lot.

### The Technical Side

When we do your trial or on-the-day prep, we focus on three things: 
1. **Foundation:** I crimp the roots to build a grip that holds the style.
2. **Heat Styling:** I use professional tongs and wavers to shape the hair, setting it so it stays flexible but firm.
3. **Finish:** I use humidity-resistant sprays so the hair keeps its bounce even if the venue is hot or outdoors.

### Can I use hair extensions?
Absolutely. If you want added volume or length, bring your clip-in extensions. I specialize in blending them into your natural hair so the transition is invisible. Just let me know beforehand so we can account for the extra time needed for installation.
