Step 1: A Nourishing Champi
The good ol’ champi works to condition the scalp, nourish and strengthen your hair roots. Getting an oil massage on the regular will make your hair look and feel its healthiest self. Some of your favourite celebrities also swear by the good old champi to give their tresses the nourishment they need.
Step 2: Sulphate-free Shampoos For The Win

Switch to sulphate-free mild shampoos that are easy on your locks as they help in moisture retention, and will make hair look and feel naturally softer and shinier.
Step 3: Never Skip Conditioner
An unskippable part of your hair care routine, conditioners help combat frizz and dryness, making hair appear smoother and silkier. It also helps detangle hair preventing breakage. Make sure to opt for a sulphate-free one to get the best results.
Step 4: Go The Extra Mile With A Hair Mask
Once or twice a week, pamper your hair with a nourishing, repairing hair mask. Add this extra step to your regime to help retain moisture, softness and even brightness to your tresses, in a matter of minutes.
Step 5: A Shine Boost With Serums
Leave in serums work as the perfect protective layer for your hair. It helps protect your hair from environmental aggressors, and everyday wear and tear. Serums also help control frizz and lend a natural-looking sheen.
