Glamorous Open Hair: Waves & Curls
From Hollywood-style vintage waves to relaxed beach curls, I create open hairstyles that hold their shape from your morning ceremony through the late-night reception.

About this collection
The secret to these open styles isn't just the iron; it's the base work. Before I touch your hair with a tong, I micro-crimp the roots. This hidden step creates a solid foundation for volume that stops your hair from falling flat within an hour of stepping out, keeping that blowout look fresh throughout your event.
Whether you are choosing a classic Hollywood vintage style or relaxed beachy waves, the goal is always the same: a look that lasts. Many clients worry that open hair won't survive the Delhi humidity or a long night of dancing, but my technique focuses on durability as much as aesthetics.
The Styling Process I start by categorizing the look based on your hair length and outfit. For a reception or sangeet, many clients prefer the sleek S-pattern of Hollywood waves. If it's a daytime event or a mehendi function, I lean towards textured beach waves that offer volume without looking overdone. Every session includes essential prep—root crimping for built-in volume and heat protection to keep your hair healthy even when we use high-heat tools.
Working with Extensions & Accessories If you have clip-in extensions, bring them along. I integrate them into your natural hair, ensuring the blending is invisible. Whether you want to add a ribbon, pearl pins, or fresh flowers, I can secure them so they don't shift.
Common Questions
- How long does it stay? With the right thermal styling and hard-hold spray like Silhouette, these curls are built to hold.
- Does it suit my hair? I adjust the curl tension and size based on your hair texture to ensure it frames your face correctly.
- Can you travel? Yes, I travel across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, and outstation for destination weddings.
For a final finish, I use a light glossy serum to catch the light, which is perfect for wedding photography and close-up portraits.
