Simple Indian hairstyles for office

#1: The 30 Rock office hairstyle

This is a classic can’t-go-wrong option. Perfect for hair that is not too short and not too long. Loose long hair may get in your way at work (especially if you work in a lab) or while making a presentation. Use a good moisturizing shampoo like Herbal Essences Hello Hydration. A list of shampoo for dry hair can be found on Stylecraze. Use a leave-in hair conditioner for added moisture if you have dry hair.

If your hair is fine or oily, skip the extra moisture. Ensure your hair is freshly washed. Try to use a hair powder if your scalp is oily.

Take a side parting, and using a hair curling tong, twist random sections of your hair into curls. Hold for about 5 to 10 seconds with the iron. Read this post on how to curl your hair without using heat. Loosen your curls a little, spray on a setting spray and you’re good to go.

#3: Knotted half updo workplace hairstyle

This is a slightly more casual looking hairstyle for those of us who don’t have super business-style jobs.

Hide the ends under the pony by tucking or using a bobby pin.

#7: Updo for short hair

Separate a top section of hair. Gather the lower hair together and secure with sliding pins. Arrange the top layer over the pins and fasten at bottom with black elastic. This is a great hairstyle to wear under helmets if you are a moped/two-wheeler rider.
