From back-to-back celebrations to endless outfit changes, the festive season brings sparkle, chaos, and a calendar full of soirées. Between all the sweets, selfies, and social events, everyone wants to look effortlessly radiant, whether it’s through quick glam fixes, glowing skin, or lasting beauty treatments.

We bring you expert-backed tips and trend-led insights from India’s top beauty and wellness voices spanning hair, skin, makeup, and holistic glow to help you shine brighter this Diwali.

Quick & Glam Hairdos for the Festive Rush

The festive rush is real, invitations pile up, time runs short, and your hair needs to go from “work mode” to “wow” in minutes.

Zaara Kazi, Artistic Director, LOOKS Salons, Mumbai, says, “The festive season is all about back-to-back events, endless glam, and barely any time to get ready! These quick and stylish hairdos will have you looking stunning in minutes.”

Among her go-to looks is The Effortless Top Knot, a high bun with teased volume and a few loose face-framing strands. “Add a festive accessory or hairpin and finish with a shine spray, it’s the easiest way to look polished yet playful,” she says.

For those skipping hair wash day, Kazi suggests The Greasy Hair Glam Fix, a Deepika Padukone-inspired sleek ponytail. “A small middle parting, smooth clips, and a high tie hide oily roots beautifully,” she explains. “It’s classy, quick, and party-ready.”

And when in doubt, go classic. “The Sleek Low Bun never fails,” she says. “With gel-slicked hair and a neat twist, it gives that minimalist, red-carpet finish, perfect for evening glam.”

Kanikka Dewanii, Founder, Mintree, agrees that effortless hair is the new festive essential. “You need hairdos that are quick, stylish, and party-ready, looks that keep you glowing without compromising on elegance,” she says.

Her picks include The Twisted Half-Up Glow, where two small front sections are twisted back and pinned for a soft, romantic vibe. “It’s feminine, easy, and instantly elevated with a sparkling clip,” she adds.

For something playful yet sophisticated, Dewanii recommends The Braided Side Sweep “A deep side braid that sweeps across the back adds charm and keeps hair off your face,” she notes.

And for a look that transitions seamlessly from day to night, she suggests The Messy Voluminous Ponytail, “Pull at the crown for volume, wrap a strand around the elastic, and finish with a texturizing spray. It’s youthful and versatile.”

Her mantra? “Festive hair should be effortless, elegant, and reflective of your personal style, these hairstyles do just that in minutes!”
