I’ve had a long, ongoing relationship with my hair, which has been a part of all my milestones in life. I have done everything from experimenting with dye jobs in my teens to cutting my bangs in the lockdown. There have also been times when my hair has faced the brunt of an ugly breakup with a dramatic transformation. But, if there is one thing that stayed constant throughout my hair journey, it was the feeling of being in control. I have always found my hair to be very empowering. Walking out of salons with a fresh cut or colour was always accompanied by a new sense of confidence. At the same time, I did take my hair for granted. I never went out of my way to look after it; my rituals were basic with a champi on a Sunday morning and a typical wash and condition routine – only to discover it didn’t suffice. I started seeing the red flags after my postpartum hair fall phase, and for the first time ever, I reached out to a trichologist for help and was made aware of the things lacking in my routine. Safe to say: Embarking on a hair care journey is like skincare one that changes with seasons, moods, and your lifestyle.
5 tips for a happy hair day, every day
• Blow dry for volume.
• Get a haircut that highlights your best features.
• Work with – not against – your hair’s natural texture.
• Use the right comb/brush that helps with frizziness.
• Invest in a dry shampoo to absorb oil to make it feel fresher and cleaner.
• Make sure to use a leave-in serum that hydrates the hair and prevents thinning, split ends, and brittleness.
