When the interviewer asked, “Since your hair undergoes a lot of chemicals and treatments, what is your hair-care regimen like?”, Kriti replied, “I like to keep things simple and use a shampoo and a conditioner that’s free from harmful chemicals. Sulphates and parabens can make your hair dry and dull so it is important to pick a shampoo conditioner that has natural ingredients in it. Moringa oil and avocado not only reverse damage caused by constant styling but also help moisturise the scalp and restore shine. I also indulge in regular deep conditioning at home and hair spa treatments.”

When asked if she has some homemade remedies, she said, “I enjoy DIYs but I won’t lie that it gets quite messy and is also time-consuming. Instead, I am always on the lookout for products that are infused with natural ingredients such as avocado, red onion, green tea etc. I am currently obsessing over avocado, it is a superfood that does wonders, not just for hair but also the skin!”

When asked about her weight gain for Mimi, which put on a lot of stress on her hair, and how she dealt with it, she said, “Fortunately, I did not see any direct impact on my hair. I ensured I was maintaining a healthy lifestyle even though the weight-gain process and used the right products that are good for my hair and deliver quick results.”

The actor also added on her diet that she follows to maintain her hair, “Eat protein-rich food, add greens to your diet, don’t skip your daily dose of vitamins and most importantly, maintain a balanced lifestyle. Avocado is something that I have integrated into my life quite religiously—it not only moisturises the hair but also repairs and strengthens your tresses. You’ll see the difference almost immediately.”

When asked if she likes to experiment with her hair, she said, “I love to wear my hair naturally on the go. I do experiment with my colour and opt for hair accessories to jazz up a look. I always keep cloth headbands handy.”
