Craving a relaxed, effortless vibe? Karisma Kapoor nails it with her wavy bun hairstyle. To nail the hairstyle, she let soft curls frame her face with a subtle centre part, while the rest is finger-combed into a loose bun. This romantic and breezy hairstyle is perfect for a quick coffee run.

The clutcher bun hairstyle

The easiest hairstyle, this just requires you to finger-comb your hair back and upwards, and then twist the lengths into rolls, securing the ends with a clutcher or claw-clip. The beauty of Karisma’s buns is their adaptability. You can wear them with summer dresses, jeans and tees, or even at a casual brunch with friends. The takeaway? Keep it light, breezy, and fuss-free.

Kareena’s drama bun hairstyles

If there’s one thing Kareena Kapoor Khan has mastered, it’s the art of looking effortlessly glamorous. And nothing says “I woke up like this” better than her signature high top knot. Perfect for those sweltering summer days or when you just don’t want your hair on your face, this style is a lifesaver.

Kareena’s top knot is not only practical but also incredibly stylish. Pulled back tightly, it elongates the face and lets you flaunt those cheekbones. Pair it with oversized hoops and a flowy maxi dress, and you are good to go.

The dramatic mogra hairstyle

Heading to a wedding or festive function? Take a cue from the Kapoor playbook and opt for the sleek centre-parted bun. You can accessorise it with a gajra made of fresh mogra (jasmine) flowers.

The look has even been copied by her sister Karisma. The mogra adds a touch of elegance and fragrance, while the neat bun keeps your hair perfectly in place.

The oily hair look

We’ve all had those days, your hair is greasy, but you have a dinner, event, or party to attend. Kareena has the solution: the sleek, slicked-back bun. Instead of fighting oily roots, lean into them. Add some serum and comb it back to a sleek bun.

The ballerina hair bun: The Kapoor sister favourite

For nights when you want to turn heads, Kareena and Karisma swear by the mid ballerina bun. Not too high, not too low, it sits perfectly in the middle of the head, giving just the right balance of drama.
