About Elegant Buns & Updos
Before we even pin the first accessory, I focus on the prep. Humidity in Mumbai can be a nightmare for hairstyles, so I use deep texturizing, crimping, and root lifting to make sure your updo stays put through the pheras and the party without feeling heavy or stiff.
Finding the right updo is about balance. You want something that looks effortless but holds up for 8 to 10 hours of dancing and photos.
My process for buns and updos is super detail-oriented because I know what makes or breaks a look. If your hair is fine, I’ll bring in professional extensions to give you that voluminous, Pinterest-worthy bun. If you want a specific accessory, we’ll source the fresh hydrangeas or pearl strings to make it yours.
Here is how I approach the different vibes:
- The Classic & Clean: For receptions and formal events, I love a sleek, low bun or a high-fashion top knot. These are all about clean lines and volume, perfect if you have a high-neck outfit or statement jewelry.
- The Soft & Romantic: These are my favorite for sangeet or engagement parties. We go for a messy, textured bun—looser, a bit undone, and usually finished with a few scattered pearls or fresh floral buds to keep it whimsical.
- The 'Main Character' Detail: Whether it’s a Swarovski knot that catches the light or a traditional paranda braided into a bun, I focus on the little things that make people ask who did your hair.
I handle the hardware—the donuts, invisible nets, and heavy-duty pins—so you don't have to worry about a thing. My team and I are also equipped to style your bridesmaids or mom, ensuring everyone looks cohesive while keeping the bride as the star.
