I focus on securing the crown for volume while ensuring the waves hold through the entire celebration, even if you are the first one on the dance floor. Whether you are opting for a boho braid for your Haldi or a sleek, classic look for a cocktail night, a half-up style strikes the perfect balance between being polished and relaxed. I often use clip-in extensions to add the extra volume you see in my gallery, especially for that bouncy look that lasts. My process starts with setting your hair for longevity, using heat tools to create structured waves that do not fall flat by the end of the night. If you want a bit of personality, we can add accessories like small daisies, as I did for a recent Sangeet, or keep it clean and classic with a simple knot. I am based in Mumbai but travel anywhere for my clients, so if you are planning a destination event and want this specific style, I can make it happen. Since this look works well with both traditional Indian outfits and modern cocktail gowns, it is one of my absolute favorites to create. ## About Shweta Hathiyani I’m Shweta. My life is basically makeup, hairspray, and chasing that perfect glow. Whether it's a sleek half-updo for your Sangeet or a soft bridal look, I’m all about making you feel like your best self.
