Hairdresser Amit Thakur, known for styling Alia Bhatt's famous hairstyles, offers insights on duplicating her preferred hairdos

Amit Thakur, the hairstylist behind Alia Bhatt's versatile and stylish locks, has shared his expert tips for recreating some of her most iconic hairstyles. From textured ponytails to distinctive braids and soft waves, here's a guide to achieving these looks at home.

The Textured Ponytail

According to Thakur, a textured ponytail is not shiny, tidy, refined, or perfect-looking. To create this undone, messy textured ponytail, simply braid the hair, take out some strands around the hairline, and let the hair fall in the face. For fine or limp hair, Thakur suggests roughly backcombing the braid inside after tying it to make it look bigger.

For straight or fine hair, Thakur recommends curling the hair with a curling iron, spraying dry hair shampoo or texture spray, messing the hair up, and then braiding it.

Bumpy Hairstyles

Thakur often creates bumpy hairstyles on Alia Bhatt's naturally wavy hair to make them last long. To achieve this, he uses a one-inch curling wand and holds the tong roughly when creating waves to avoid melting the hair. After curling, he blasts dry the roots with a dryer on a cold setting to combine the products and increase volume.

Textured Waves

To create Alia Bhatt's textured waves, Thakur uses a one-inch curling wand and finishes the look with a texturizing spray from Toni & Guy. He also uses a bit of lotion rubbed into his hands to add shine to the hair without affecting its appearance. For an added shine-from-within look, Thakur preps the hair with argan oil and a heat protectant spray.

Long-Lasting Hairstyles

According to Thakur, achieving long-lasting hairstyles involves accepting the natural appearance of one's hair. He suggests using dry shampoo and a fluid structure spray on limp, oily hair to add volume. Thakur also uses the Schwarzkopf Professional Osis+ Sparkler Luster Spray to add shine and gloss to the hair.

Thakur's expert tips for recreating Alia Bhatt's signature hairstyles can be found in an interview with iDiva. However, there are no search results providing information about Thakur's recommended hair products for achieving these looks. Nonetheless, with these tips, you can create your own version of Alia Bhatt's iconic hairstyles.
