Stay Stylish in Summer

The soaring temperatures can leave hair dry and brittle. Add a colourful headband or scarf to cover the head…reports Asian Lite News

With the temperature soaring by the day, managing long tresses can become quite a task. Leaving the hair open can be messy and irritating during the summer. A celebrity hairstylist has shared some easy hairstyles that can look stylish and take less time to make.

Santosh Gahatraj, known for styling personalities such as Rana Daggubati, Elnaaz Norouzi, Nora Fatehi, and Amy Jackson, has provided tips to IANS on hairstyles to beat the heat.

Messy bun: This requires minimal effort. Gather all your hair, create a high ponytail, twist it into a bun, and secure it with a hair tie or bobby pins.

Beach wave ponytails or buns: Despite seeming like it takes too much effort, it doesn’t. After washing your hair, braid it when damp and leave it on for some time. Undo the braids when it’s slightly dry for effortless waves. Turn it into a ponytail or wavy bun.

Headbands and scarves: The soaring temperatures can leave hair dry and brittle. Add a colourful headband or scarf to cover the head.

Variations in ponytails: Experiment with a high ponytail, a low ponytail, or a side ponytail for a simple yet chic look.

Half ponytail: Pull the top half of your hair into a small bun, leaving the rest down. This will give a chic and stylish look.

Keep it easy with braids: Simple braids or fishtail braids look stylish and help keep the hair safe from drying out and split ends.

Top knot: Gather all the hair into a ponytail style. Backcomb to add volume and smoothen the top. Twist the hair around and turn it into a bun, securing it with pins. You can add a little spray for a stronger hold, although it’s optional. These styles are perfect for hot summer days when you want to keep your hair looking good with minimal effort.

Adhuna Bhabani unveils tips for self-styling

Bangs can look good on everyone, but if you want to make sure your fringe doesn’t turn out to be a disaster, you should keep your face shape in mind when asking for the chop…reports Asian Lite News

With the onset of the summer, give your beautiful locks a fun reset for the bright days ahead and your summer getaways. In case you are short on inspiration, here’s a round-up of the top hairstyles from renowned hairstylist Adhuna Bhabani in collaboration with Dyson that you can easily achieve.

Summer Hair Trends for 2023

Bangs and fringes all the way!

Bangs and fringes will be seen making a great resurgence in the summer of 2023. From Wednesday Addams inspired wispy bangs, to soft feathery bangs, baby bangs etc, bangs are versatile and one can choose basis their hair length and texture to compliment your face shape. To draw more attention to your strong facial features, suggest your stylist to keep the outer layer of the fringe longer and the middle part of the fringe shorter. Use the round volumising brush attachment of the Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler to add the necessary oomph to your bangs.

Pro Tip: Bangs can look good on everyone, but if you want to make sure your fringe doesn’t turn out to be a disaster, you should keep your face shape in mind when asking for the chop.

Wavy Bob

The wavy bob was recently spotted in the Dyson x Aprita Mehta’s showcase during the Lakme Fashion Week 2023, and this will become a big trend during the summer season. It’s a shorter bob that is cut with shorter layers at the front and longer layers at the back, adding more life and volume to your hair. While a chin-length bob may seem like a big chop to some, this hairstyle can actually be an extremely flattering choice.

Beachy Waves

Loose beach waves are certainly among one of the most appealing and versatile hairstyles you can wear. This look is one of Adhuna’s favourites, these sophisticated waves can assist your transition from day to night. Beachy waves dressed up are also a super ideal wedding hairstyle to complete your easy and relaxed look.

Voluminous Blow Dry

The 90s blowout was already very popular, and 2023 is no different. While some may think it’s challenging to get this look at home, the Dyson AirwrapTM multi-styler allows you to create the ideal voluminous blow-dry. Your hair will look effortlessly gorgeous and full of shine.

Summer Hair Care Tips And Tricks

As our busy lifestyle often deprives us of a proper hair care regime, Adhuna also shared some insightful tips for helping us attain gorgeous tresses that turn heads this spring-summer.

Cold shower followed by drying for smoother and shinier hair: Blast your hair with a cold shower (after shampooing) as hot water not only damages our skin but also our hair and scalp. Cold shower will seal the cuticles and make hair shinier, stronger, and smoother. However, don’t keep your hair wet for long as hair is more fragile in this state.

 Extreme heat is detrimental: Choosing the right temperature is of utmost importance while styling. The Dyson haircare range is equipped with intelligent heat control to maintain optimum temperatures and prevent extreme heat damage. Do not forget using a heat protectant before styling your hair.

 Say yes to updos: Nobody likes their hair falling on their face during the summer. Hence it is ideal to opt for hairstyles like braids, messy updos and ponytails. These hairstyles are also great to camouflage an oily scalp.

 Hair Massage + treatments = shiny hair: The action of the massage/ brushing stimulates the blood circulation which feeds the root of the hair and helps maintain healthier hair and scalp. Hair massage needs to be done at least two or three times a week. A good hair massage also helps the nutrients to efficiently reach the hair follicles. Hair treatments are also a great way to nourish your hair and improve its shine and condition. Apply a hair treatment at least once a week or as recommended by your stylist.

Volume, volume and some more volume: Who doesn’t like to add some volume to their hair, especially in the crown area? If you are tackling flat hair, then use the round volumizing brush to add volume to your hair.  It can also be used to seamlessly sweep bangs away from the face to provide volume and create the desired style. Another way of adding volume to your hair is by layering the crown area,

Prepare, Style and Fix: After spending hours styling your hair, sometimes your hairstyle or curls may loosen up. If this describes you, then you may be missing one of the most important steps, i.e., setting your hairstyle with a lightweight setting spray or cold shot. Our hair often sets in the same position as it cools down. Hence the correct procedure for styling your hair should be – style your hair using the Dyson AirwrapTM multi-styler, set your curls/hairstyle using cold shot, pin up your curls for 5-10 mins and finish off with a setting spray. You can go with styling products that fit your hair type, length and thickness.

Cool looking hair styles for summer

This simple updo looks elegant while requiring little effort. Pull your hair back into a ponytail with an elastic, and make a space at the base of the pony to pull the ponytail through and add a twist to the hair…writes Olivia Sarkar

The sun has finally shown its face, and we’re eager to embrace our summer vibes. Though, in the blazing heat, no one needs a thick mop of hair around their neck, that’s why some low-maintenance summer hairstyles are a must to keep our hair looking great while also keeping us cool.

Plus, no matter how hot it gets, they’re quick, don’t require any heat, and remain out of your sweaty face. Here are some of our favourite summer hairstyles that will keep you looking cute while you’re out and about.

High Pony


Brush your hair back and secure the elastic tightly for the perfect high pony. Add a bobby pin to the base of the ponytail, pointing up, to add volume.

Low Slicked-Back Twisted Bun

Pull all of your hair back into a low pony at the back of your head to achieve this sleek bun. Then, twist your hair clockwise all the way down and style it into the desired bun shape. You can make a classic bun shape.

Space Buns

Space buns are classic because they look chic and cool with very little effort. They are probably the easiest hairstyle out there. Simply create two small buns on either side of your head and secure them with an elastic or a bobby pin. This look works well whether it’s sleek or messy, making it as versatile as it is.

Braided Bun

This style gives your low messy buns a little something extra. Part your hair on the side and braid it from the crown of your head to the back, where you want the base of your bun to be. Then, using elastic and bobby pins, gather the rest of the hair into a messy bun.

Sleek Low Pony With Accessory


Ponytails are popular because they can be styled in a variety of ways while remaining incredibly simple. Brush your hair back, removing any lumps or creases. At the nape of your neck, gather all of your hair and secure with an elastic. Complete the look with your favourite hair accessory.

Messy Wrapped Ponytail


This ponytail looks great because it highlights any natural texture or leftover curls. Make a ponytail at the nape of your neck with your hair. To keep the pony in place, use an elastic. To hide the elastic, pull a small piece of hair from underneath the ponytail and wrap it around it. Pin the end of your hair to your head with a bobby pin.

Twisted Up-Do

This simple updo looks elegant while requiring little effort. Pull your hair back into a ponytail with an elastic, and make a space at the base of the pony to pull the ponytail through and add a twist to the hair.

Twisted Top Knot

A sleek top-knot is one of the most popular hairstyles because it looks put together and looks good on almost any hair type. Pull your hair to the top of your head with a brush, making sure to brush out any creases or bumps. Gather your hair into a ponytail and secure it with an elastic to keep it tight and in place. Then, twist your hair into a bun and pin it in place with bobby pins.
