Mira Rajput On Her Hair Journey, Switches To Make During Winter & More
You’ve spoken extensively about your hair journey (pre and post-partum) on your Instagram. what’s one habit you followed religiously through all phases of life?
I did not suffer from any post-partum hair loss the first time around but during my second pregnancy I had thinning spots on my scalp and my hair went for a toss. That’s when I decided to make a few healthy changes in my diet and started oiling my hair regularly. I sought expert help to ensure I top this up with professional haircare products and services.
What are some switches you’re making to your hair care routine during winter?
We all enjoy hot water showers during winter, but I always lower the temperature as excess heat can dry my hair and skin. I do not skip my deep conditioning even during winter. I make sure I use heat protection while drying my hair and top it off with a finishing oil to keep frizz at bay. Avoid heat styling too much since winter already brings along dryness, and instead air dry your hair in the warm winter sun!
Frizz is another thing you constantly talk about on Instagram – for all the frizzy-haired girls out there, what’s the tried-and-tested Mira-approved remedy that actually works?
Always condition after shampoo and deep condition once or twice a month. As most of you may already know I love oiling my hair frequently and follow it up with a thick hair mask. Post my oiling regime, I use the BC Bonacure Moisture Kick shampoo & conditioner from Schwarzkopf Professional. I can always trust them to leave me with soft, healthy, and hydrated hair even without a blow dry.
What’s one tip you picked up from Shahid when it comes to hair?
The best-borrowed hack from Shahid has to be the baby hair hack using his beard brush. I have always observed how this brush would set his beard perfectly. I decided to try it on my flyaways as the hair is small and thin and it did a great job at setting my baby hair. This is definitely my go-to hack for life!
Go on, try Mira’s hack for yourself and tell us if it really works!
