The word Bollywood is an amalgamation of Bombay and Hollywood. As the
world's largest film industry in terms of movies produced, Bollywood is a
massive pop-culture phenomenon rooted in India, but popular globally.
The faces of Bollywood are constantly in the limelight on the
subcontinent and elsewhere. Like Hollywood stars, Bollywood actors and
actresses do their best to set and keep up with trends in hairstyles,
while taking pride in their thick, dark manes.

A number of female Bollywood stars from times past and present prefer
simple classic looks with a few modern flourishes when they wear their
hair down. Long hair that is simply cut and layered carries a timeless
look that is easy to make modern and edgy with the angles of the layers.
Highlights for long, layered looks give the hair depth, volume, and
complexity that is also modern and interacts well with light and
cameras. Bollywood stars wear the long, layered, and down look with and
without bangs, straight and with voluminous waves. Bollywood actresses
rarely cut their hair shorter than shoulder length.

A number of Bollywood actresses wear their hair up and down, calling
for a number of styles for different occasions. Tight buns are popular
with Bollywood actresses who wear their hair up. The hair on top of the
head is pulled back into the bun, though fashioned into a side part and
often pulled at an angle to the side of the head, then back, rather than
straight back. This type of bun creates a pixyish look coupled with the
traditional elegance of long hair. Many younger Bollywood starlets
untuck strands from their buns for a more spontaneous, unkempt look.
-
Most leading men in Bollywood keep their hair cropped. Popular
cropped hairstyles for Bollywood actors include the traditional crop,
which is short hair of uniform length. The razor crop is similarly short
hair that is shorn with a razor in places for a more dynamic look.
Razor crops often balance the buzz with jagged bangs. The shaggy crop is
another popular short hair cut for Bollywood men. It's a longer cut
than the traditional crop, and not entirely uniform in length. The
shaggy crop looks unkempt and as such is more than not referred to as
bed head.
-
Bollywood actors with longer hair prefer a voluminous and wavy look.
Male stars with long hair most often have a layered look that is shorter
in the front and longer in the back, though gradual enough in its
gradations to not be a mullet. Layered and lengthy cuts are considered
classy and elegant in the world of Bollywood. Medium-length long hair,
which is long enough to reach a man's jaw but not longer, is an
in-between look that marries the hipness of the shaggy crop and the
classy look of the long, layered cut.
