his pick

Karisma Kapoor

The perfect length, waves and texture in tune with global tress trends make Karisma’s style a favourite with Habib. “Karisma’s hairstyle complements her fair skin, eye colour and figure just perfectly. And she carries it off in great style,” says Habib.

He, in fact, is all praises for both the Kapoor sisters ? Karisma and Kareena. “Kareena’s thick bouncy hair suits her facial structure and is very international as well.”

The same goes for Malaika Arora Khan, “who also has a great personal style and carries it off with much oomph”, adds Habib.

Bhaichung Bhutia

“Most sports personalities have good hairstyles and cuts, but what they lack is the right colour,” says the man who boasts the record of 410 haircuts in 24 hours. Our city’s star footballer Bhaichung Bhutia, however, scores high on this count.

“The right dash of colour, good styling and the trendy spikes that are very much in fashion now, make Bhaichung’s style just perfect,” hails Habib.

Sachin Pilot

The young politician impresses Habib with the perfect combination of a good physique complemented with a trendy haircut. “Sachin Pilot’s neat, short haircut with lots of texturing looks very smart,” he says. Habib also points out the down-but-not-out Lalu Prasad’s hairstyle. “Look at Lalu Prasad’s haircut and style. He has been sporting the spikes for the last 15 years and today they are a rage!” he laughs.

John Abraham

“The highlight of John’s personality is his unique hairstyle, which complements his macho looks very well. But to enhance the character of his hair, he needs to add lots of colour,” feels Habib.

A dash of copper to highlight the hunk’s fair complexion is what the stylist orders. A warning: John should avoid a blonde hue as that would dull his looks.

Sania Mirza

Habib is quite impressed by the wavy texture and length of the tennis icon’s tresses. “Sania carries the length of her hair pretty well and the styling is also nice,” he says. However, to put her in the “international league”, Habib prescribes a dark coffee tone for the base hair, highlighted with blonde streaks.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

“Dhoni has got dry and frizzy hair. I wouldn’t like to tamper with the styling and the length because that’s his trademark look,” says Habib. The expert stylist, however, feels that the copper colour of the slam-bang cricketer’s hair doesn’t suit him much and recommends a khaki gold shade, instead. “Hair colour goes a long way in defining someone’s personality. The right colour can enhance or mar your appeal totally,” he adds.
