3. Kiara Advani’s Low Effort Dutch Braid

If you have long, thick hair and want you hair to appear like that, then Kiara Advani's low effort braid is the best hairstyle for Karwa Chauth. But this is not a regular three-strand braid as it's a textured, slightly messy and voluminous braid. From the front, the hair is given a soft, twisted puff and then taken back in a loose side French or Dutch braid style.
