Ponytails 

Messy staples are the go-to choice, especially for a sangeet or mehendi day, allowing for effortless movement and minimal fuss.
Athiya Shetty’s partial ponytail, styled with a half-up, half-down rendition for her mehendi day, is a great example. For added length or volume, testing extensions beforehand is ideal to ensure comfort and proper weight distribution.
