The excitement of getting ready for a night out in Bangalore is palpable. The nightly hubs, like Indiranagar and MG Road, are arenas for fashion battles fought with every strand of hair. Here are five hairstyles that are currently reigning supreme.

The Classic Bangalorean Bun

The Bun – a timeless classic that has withstood the test of time. In Bangalore, it’s not just a style; it’s a statement. The Classic Bangalorean Bun is for the women who value simplicity and elegance. It’s perfect for the working professional who transitions seamlessly from the office to a soirée at the Shiro. It keeps the hair under control amidst the city’s tropical climate and always looks polished.

To achieve this look, start by creating a middle or a subtle side part. Gather your hair at the nape of your neck and twist it clockwise. When the hair begins to coil, tuck the ends under to create a neat chignon. Use bobby pins to secure the bun and finish off with a stronghold hairspray. Voilà!

The Modern Sleek Ponytail

The Modern Sleek Ponytail is the epitome of sophistication and modernity. Ideal for a night at the I-Bar, it presents a casual chic look perfect for the flashy or fusion attire. This hairstyle immediately draws attention to the facial features and the nape of the neck, adding instant magnetism to the wearer’s aura.

To create this at-home look, straighten your hair. Pull it back and secure it at the crown of the head. Take a small section of hair and wrap it around the base to conceal the hair tie, and secure it with a bobby pin. For extra sleekness, you can apply some anti-frizz serum before tying up the ponytail.

The Boho Braids Resurgence

In recent years, the Boho Braids have come back with a bang and are favored by the women frequenting the Manyata Tech Park who appreciate a carefree yet chic look. These braids are versatile and can be sported in various ways—half up, half down or as a crown braid. They’re perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to a bohemian outfit or to balance out an edgy look.

Braiding might seem intricate, but a little practice goes a long way. If you’re new to braiding, it’s best to start with dry shampoo to give the hair texture. Section your hair and start a regular three-strand braid, incorporating hair from the side as you move downwards. Secure with a clear elastic band and pull the edges of the braid outwards to create a fuller, messier look.

The Bangs and Beach Waves Combo

Bangalore has a burgeoning love affair with beach waves. This relaxed style screams carefree and cool and has taken the city by storm. This look paired with bangs adds an air of mystery and allure, encapsulating the essence of Bangalore’s nightlife—both modern and laid-back. It’s a hit among those heading to high-energy clubs or beachside inspired lounges.

If you don’t have bangs, you can fake them by parting your hair in such a way that it mimics bangs. For beach waves, spritz damp hair with a texturizing spray and twirl small sections around a curling wand. Shake out the curls when they cool and you’ve got yourself some Bangalorean beach waves.

The Diva Curls for Extravagant Evenings

On the other end of the spectrum are the Diva Curls. These are for the bold, the sassy, and the ones making a grand entrance. Perfect for the stage at a concert in UB City or an event at the ITC Gardenia, these curls demand attention and exude an air of sensual confidence. They’re all about volume and bounce, embodying the spirit of the night.

The key to Diva Curls is a great curling iron and a volumizing mousse. Start by applying a heat protectant and then divide your hair into sections. Curl the hair away from the face, hold, and release. After curling each section, roll the curl back up and pin it to your head until the total look has cooled. Finish with a generous amount of hairspray.

The Intersection of Fashion, Beauty, and Confidence

Hairstyles aren’t simply about aesthetics; they’re extensions of our personalities. When we feel good about our hair, we feel good about ourselves, and this confidence illuminates our presence in any room. In Bangalore’s nightlife scene, where expression is king, your hairstyle plays an influential role in how you present yourself.

Confidence is the invisible accessory that makes or breaks a look. Whether you’re in the dimly lit bar of Toit or under the bright lights of the massive Sutra stage, exuding confidence makes your hairstyle shine even brighter. It’s not about following trends blindly but rather interpreting them in a way that aligns with your individuality.
