Keep Your Mane Glossy All Festive Season With Nykaa’s Healthy Hair Habits

Well, we have finally made it to the last quarter of the year, and you know that’s all about celebrations and festivities. And the one thing about the festive season is that it’s non-stop. Between last-minute shopping, endless invites, early mornings at work, and late-night get-togethers, our schedules barely leave space for a proper meal, let alone a full-blown haircare routine. Add to that the constant heat styling, heavy-duty products, and pollution, and suddenly your hair is in its full-blown, damaged, dry, and sad era.

I learned this the hard way last year when, by week two of Diwali prep, my “party curls” were less glossy and more crispy, thanks to dry shampoo abuse and way too much blow drying. If you’ve also found yourself trying to slick back flyaways with hand cream before a dinner (guilty), you already know how quickly festive glam can turn into festive hair chaos.

This year, let’s not just fix the damage after it’s done; let’s prevent it. And trust me, it’s simpler than you think. With the right Treat, Wash, Nourish ritual tailored to your hair concern, be it frizz, hairfall, or damage, you can actually enjoy the season with these healthy hair habits.

Frizz-Free Festivities

Frizz loves festive season chaos: humidity, heat styling, and late-night dancing all make it worse. Here’s how to keep the halo at bay:

Treat: Lock in moisture before the chaos with the Wella Professionals Ultime Repair Miracle Hair Night Treatment Serum. It works overnight, so you wake up with smoother strands (and a much calmer morning routine).

Nykaa Recommends:

Wash: Start gently with the Moxie Beauty Gentle Cleansing Shampoo, follow with the Nykaa Naturals Fermented Rice Water & Hyaluronic Acid Conditioner, and give your hair a weekly spa moment with the L’Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Mask. Seal it all in with the Redken Acidic Bonding Leave-In Treatment.

Nykaa Recommends:

Nourish: Post-shower, smooth on the Matrix Biolage Smooth Proof Avocado Deep Smoothing Serum. Once your hair is dry, finish with the L'Oréal Paris Extraordinary Oil Hair Serum for an anti-frizz shine that lasts through brunches and bonfires alike.

Hairfall-Proof Flip

Stress, lack of sleep, and endless styling? Hair fall loves that combo. Here’s how to stop strands from shedding faster than festive glitter.

Treat: Give your roots some TLC with the Bare Anatomy Advanced Hair Growth Serum. It strengthens the scalp and keeps shedding in check.

Nykaa Recommends:

Wash: Reach for the Kérastase Genesis Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo and pair it with the L'Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss Conditioner. Together, they balance the scalp and give your strands the elasticity they need to survive styling.

Nykaa Recommends:

Nourish: Hydration is key. Spritz on the Streax Moisture Boost Spray Hair Serum post-wash. Once your mane is dry, add the Plum 1% Glycolic Acid Cherry Blossom Serum for shine and static control.

Damaged Hair Revival

If your hair is already tired from colouring, straightening, or back-to-back blowouts, consider this your recovery plan.

Treat: Repair from the roots with the WishCare Hair Growth Serum Concentrate. It’s packed with biotin, keratin, and caffeine to encourage healthier growth.

Nykaa Recommends:

Wash: Nothing beats bond repair here. Start with the Olaplex No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, follow with the BBlunt Curly Hair Conditioner for hydration, and indulge in the Schwarzkopf Professional SPA Essence Cream Masque once a week.

Nykaa Recommends:

Nourish: After your wash, add a layer of the Mise-en-Scène Perfect Serum. When your hair is dry, top it off with the Streax Professional Vitagloss Serum for gloss that screams “healthy” even if you know it’s still in recovery mode.
