Minar-e-Pakistan hairdo for the win!

"Even women can celebrate August 14 as much as men do," says Lahore model.

GUJRANWALA: Put up a flag on your car, paint your face green and roam around the city because it’s August 14. But this way of celebrating Pakistan’s independence is as clichéd as having pakoras in Iftari.

Lahore-based model Madhu decided to do something different to express her love for the country. She travelled all the way to Gujranwala to have her hair styled as one of the greatest national monuments – Minar-e-Pakistan.

Hair dresser Ali spent eight hours to make this unique hairstyle. He twisted, moussed and sprayed Madhu’s hair to create a Minar-e-Pakistan replica.

Madhu further decorated her hair with a star and a crescent, wrapped herself in a green flag and joined Independence Day celebrations with others.

The enthusiastic model said her reason for donning such an unusual hairstyle is to tell everyone that even women can celebrate August 14 as much as men do.
