Looks matter a great deal, especially for an actress.

Not all films offer the actress a chance to display her mettle. But in true Hindi film heroine spirit, she makes up with oodles of style and sizzle.

Makeup, costumes, accessories and hairstyles are the key ingredients which help.

Yesteryear heroines preferred to sport elaborate wigs. The current crop of actresses dares to experiment with their own tresses: colouring, streaking, highlighting, tinting, straightening, curling, crimping, chopping, etc.

Right now, curls are in. Although maintaining a curly hairdo tests a star's patience, she does it willingly.

Here are some of the lovely ladies of Hindi cinema at their curliest best.
