Moroccanoil Oil Treatment, Rs 2,600 approx

Prep before a shampoo

Treat yourself to a relaxing oil massage right before a wash. Apply any nutritive oil, like argan, to the midlengths and ends, then run a brush over it to help the hair absorb the oil. If the stickiness puts you off, invest in the new oil-in-cream formulas. They give you the same benefits without the mess.

Commit to heat protection

Applying the pre-blow dry lotion requires more precision than you think. Just patting it on won't work. Sodhi elaborates, “Massage the serum between your hands, then apply it to the length using your fingers. Rub your
hands again and apply the rest closer to the roots.”
