See, the 90s were a simpler time in Bollywood. Actresses didn’t really need to use a straightening or curling irons to club their hair into dank submission the way they need to now.

Here, Aishwarya’s naturally thick and wavy hair has simply been smoothed down with a bit of smoothening serum and parted down the middle to showcase its natural beauty.

7. Old Fashioned Beehive
