So, if you stay in a city where pollution is high and you are exposed to a lot of dirt and grime then make sure you wash it every alternate day and if you live in a city where pollution is not much and humidity is low you can wash it twice a week.

She understands the inside-out approach when it comes to hair. Hence, she makes a point to eat for her hair; iron, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbs that help keep hair shiny, fuller, stronger and manageable. Want to score big?
