Those with long hair and who do not wish to wear wigs can do a French roll hair or tie bun in a different fashion, sources said.<br \/>\nSome of the crew members however have found the wig to be a more practical option. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You do not need to spend time doing up your hair and can tuck it in the wig and get going,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a crew member said.<br \/>\nMeanwhile flight attendants wearing the wigs have been putting up a brave front in the face of severe scrutiny by curious passengers.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">15\/09\/10 Aneesh Phadnis<\/span>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.punemirror.in\/article\/2\/20100915201009150001056487bd4e4fc\/She%E2%80%99s-a-hair-hostess.html\">Pune Mirror<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Low cost carrier Indigo Airlines may have taken the idea of a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcuniform look\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 a bit too literally.
