4. Topknot
The top knot is a simple yet elegant approach to elevate your style game during Holi. This hairdo is fuss-free and prevents your hair from being ruined by harsh chemical powders.
5. Milkmaid braid
Another stylish method to wear your long hair during Holi is in a milkmaid braid. This charming bun-thick style’s braid design is guaranteed to add more glitz to your Holi ensemble. You may effortlessly show off your gorgeous long jewels that compliment your traditional clothing with a braided bun.
