This summer, try these four throwback hairstyles by Janhvi Kapoor that you can do at home

Famous women in the 1950s and 1960s often wore their hair half up, half down. Variations of this hairdo were popularized by actresses like as Madhubala, Waheeda Rehman, and Nutan, who turned it into a symbol of classic Bollywood splendor.

 

The ultimate Gen Z celebrity, Janhvi Kapoor, is seen sporting this vintage haircut, proving that the look is still popular. Janhvi gives these half-ups a contemporary twist by incorporating her own unique touch.

The four versions shown here are quite simple to make and go well with all of the adorable summer ensembles you have been dying to wear.

Here, Janhvi is seen wearing a white floral saree with a top that has an enormous bow at the back, typical of her desi coquette period. The side-parted half-up adds just the right amount of vintage romanticism to the ensemble.

Her hair naturally cascades down her back before softly flipping upward at the end. With the exception of the shorter layers in the front that loosely frame her face, it’s neither too sleek nor overdone in waves. The side-swept hair exudes an easygoing, vintage glam vibe. Marce Pedrozo, an Argentine celebrity hairdresser, created her hairstyle in this photo.

Janhvi’s half-up, middle-parted hairstyle was pinned in the back with matching pink and orange flowers for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding event.

It’s customary in India to accessorize hair with fresh flowers. The way it’s done here respects tradition while yet having a tinge of modernism with the large, beachy waves. This half-up, with its ideal harmony of tradition and style, is a must-have for summer weddings.

Janhvi, who looks stunning in her shimmering pink tissue saree, gives us another half-do. Her hairdresser, Hiral Bhatia, gave her a neat back with well-defined, gentle waves flowing down it. She tacked on a white gajra, weaved neatly at the back in the form of a crescent. This refined interpretation of the half-up is tidy and timeless, glitzy yet modest. Perfect for dressy ensembles, it exudes a princess vibe!

Janhvi’s half-up hairstyle, which she paired with her sister Khushi for a joyous family gathering, is all about embracing her inherent beauty.

Her hair, parted in the center, doesn’t seem too styled with makeup. Her carefree, lightly disheveled hair is casually pulled back to showcase her glowing face. This is our favorite for formal occasions or for a more subdued appearance that radiates effortless elegance and carefree charm.

These half-up, half-down hairstyles are all simple enough to do at home. Whether you’re seeking for daily hairstyles that look amazing with little effort or retro hairstyles that evoke vintage elegance, these Janhvi Kapoor-approved designs are ideal for your carefree summer looks.
