They’re fantastic on the field, and make fun style choices off the field! Instep loves the hairstyles these fab Pakistani athletes have chosen to sport.

Hajra Khan

Not only is she Captain of Pakistan’s national football team, Hajra Khan makes her stance on everything from sports to her view on popular figures known boldly. We love how Hajra expresses her natural fierceness through her style too. In a world where straight hair is still the go-to for casual, formal, at-home and at-the-beach looks, Hajra wears her natural curls on the red carpet, the field, and television with equal ease. Embracing natural hair texture is not always easy, especially for curly girls, and having role models like Hajra Khan to look up to is definitely something to applaud.

Shaheen Shah Afridi

Shaheen Shah Afridi is known as Pakistan’s best left arm bowler, and we would like to crown him as best Pakistan’s best left arm bowler with the best hair too! Of course, a lot of this is nature’s work, so he had a great canvas to work with, but this full-maned wind-blown look is super cool.

Nida Dar

Hair Play

Long hair is culturally considered a sign of
natural beauty, and of course female athletes around the world carry their game well no matter the length of their hair. Nida Dar wears her straight crop with incredible panache. Ladies, once you make the decision to get the big chop, your hairstyling days are definitely not over. Take a cue from Nida, and breeze through every event holding your short ‘do held high.
