    Wedding hair comes with its own workload. There are buns held together by a hundred pins, curls that need to survive long hours, and the inevitable, dreaded unpinning ritual at the end of the night. Between heat styling, accessories and back-to-back functions, your hair is put through far more than its usual routine. A good mask in the weeks leading up to your events keeps it nourished, smoother, easier to style and less prone to post-wedding damage.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
