Accessorise
When asked if hair accessories are in this season, Jawed says, "The only hair accessory I suggest is a good shampoo. Shampoo your hair regularly, and you won't need accessories like hair bands or scarves."
Summer is one season when people don't want to let their hair down. "There are two main styles. One is the very long hair and the other is very short," says Jawed. "When you get your hair chopped, get it done in layers, so that it doesn't fall flat. People with long hair can tie a high ponytail. For that ultra glamourous look, you can get a fringe done in front. Bangs are also quite the rage," he explains.
On the subject of colouring and highlighting hair, Jawed says, "We Indians should never blindly copy Westerns colours.u00a0 Certain colours look good with light eyes. With our rich complexion, we should opt for highlights with a warmer or darker tone beneath. Colours like brown and mahogany look great on Indian skin." He also hastens to add that style does not revolve around colour alone.
Most of the Bollywood actress look lovely, either with long or short hair. Since they are in a glamourous profession, they ought to look good. Most of them manage their hair well and keep it trendy. Stars have to look good, even if they don't have hair
