Kareena Kapoor Khan is a sight for sore eyes; being a headturner and trendsetter is her full time job, no matter what she’s dressed in, what makeup she’s wearing or how she chooses to style her hair. If you’ve gone through her recent images, it’s not tough to guess that she’s enjoying street style more than anything else. The street style vibe is easy in terms of both outfits and your look. Hence, you’ll find her sporting chic loose waves or a messy top knot more often than not. Seeing her hair makes us think of just one work – #HairGoals. So, we were curious to know more about how she looks after them. Here’s what she said.
What does your hair mean to you?
My hair makes a powerful statement about who I am. They are my best friend and most flattering asset. Regardless of good or bad hair days I embrace the beauty of it because it makes me feel confident as a person.

People are big on haircare routines these days. Do you have a haircare routine that you follow religiously?
Yes! A haircare routine that I religiously follow all year round is oiling my hair 1-2 times a week followed by shampoo and conditioner. Occasionally, I also apply a hair mask to give my hair that extra strength and shine. I swear by the deeply nourishing St.Botanica Moroccan Argan Oil range which includes the shampoo, conditioner, oil, serum and mask. The serum is easy to carry and I always take it with me on the go.
Why do you think following and maintaining a haircare routine is important?
It’s definitely important to maintain a haircare routine just like you follow a skincare routine. Most people face hair concerns like damage, dullness or dryness because they tend to ignore their hair when it comes to following a routine.

What are the ingredients that you swear by for healthier hair?
Moroccan argan oil! I absolutely love my Moroccan Argan Oil range from St.Botanica. I love to use chemical-free products on my hair and they have no parabens, plus they are made with exotic ingredients.
Any DIY hacks that have worked for your hair?
I normally don’t like applying too many things on my hair so I’ve almost always stayed away from DIY recipes but I oil my hair every week and sometimes apply egg with it.

What’s your favourite hairstyle for the summers?
A top knot is my go to hairstyle in the summer heat. Doesn’t let my hair stick to my face and also avoids frizziness.
Do you tweak your hair care routine according to the season? What are the changes you make during summers?
My haircare routine remains the same all year round because it’s simple and adjustable to all kinds of weather. In the summer however, my hair tends to get more frizzy which is why I use some of my argan oil serum when I’m on-the-go.

Did you observe any changes that your hair experienced during your two pregnancies? If yes, how did you combat them?
As lovely as my pregnancy experiences were, I did face hair fall issues. Oiling my hair overnight has definitely helped me overcome many hair problems. It is something that my family has advised me to do for years. Oil massages are necessary to have a healthy scalp. I love argan oil and that has become a haircare staple as it deeply nourishes my scalp and hair. Also, deep conditioning with a hair mask has helped me restore hair health.
Tell us about some hair rituals that you follow to maintain the health of your hair and reverse the damage caused by heat and styling?
I learned the hard way that it is very important to nourish your hair before and after styling them. I always apply heat protection.

What’s one Kareena Kapoor Khan-approved superfood for better hair?
I think my greens are the most important when it comes to my hair. Every morning I take a shot of a green juice that includes spinach, kale and amla (Indian gooseberry).
What’s that one no-no for you when it comes to hair?
Not using a heat protectant spray or serum before styling my hair.

Lastly, how would you describe your relationship with your hair in a word?
My hair is my best friend.
