Every girl wants strong, shiny and lustrous hair like those in hair care commercials. But we’ve been forced to believe that this kind of hair can only be achieved by frequently visiting the salon and using expensive hair care products. That’s not true, because it's not the price that gives you gorgeous hair — it's the ingredients.
To help you get the hair of your dreams without spending a bomb, we have collated a list of budget-friendly hair care products. So go ahead, build the ultimate hair care kit without breaking the bank and forget all your hair woes.
Shampoo
While the primary job of a shampoo is to cleanse your hair and scalp, it is super important to pick one that does not leave your hair dry and brittle. Some shampoos contain ingredients that are too harsh for your delicate tresses and leave them frizzy and lifeless. The Dove Intense Repair Shampoo For Damaged Hair is formulated with Keratin actives that repair surface damage and penetrate the strands for deep nourishment. It makes the hair soft and manageable right from the first wash.
Price: ₹110 for 180 ml
Conditioner
There’s a reason why shampoos and conditioners come in pairs, one cleanses the hair while the other adds the lost moisture back in. We recommend using a conditioner from the same brand and range as your shampoo. They work in conjunction to deliver the best results. The Dove Intense Repair Conditioner For Damaged Hair deeply conditions hair and protects it from everyday damage.
Price: ₹190 for 175 ml
Hair oil
Hair oil is a must for everyone, regular oil massaging keeps the roots and scalp healthy. There are tons of hair oils available in the market. However, make sure you choose the right one. Ayurvedic hair oil like the Lever Ayush Ayurvedic Bhringaraj Hair Oil contains a concoction of natural ingredients that can address more than one hair concern and is quite affordable. Regular application of this oil will prevent hair fall and make your hair healthy, shiny and soft.
Price: ₹149 for 100 ml
Hair serum
Regular styling, sun exposure and pollution cause hair damage and dryness. While conditioner helps lock in the lost moisture back in the tresses, your hair also needs an extra tonic. Serums not only add shine to your hair but also form a protective layer to prevent damage. The TIGI Bed Head Control Freak Frizz Control And Straightener Serum is a light, greaseless hair serum that helps fight humidity and controls frizz, leaving the hair smooth and silky.
Price: ₹1100 for 250 ml
Hair mask
If your hair is dry and damaged, it indicates that your mane requires some serious nourishment. A hair mask is one of the best ways to do that. Instead of spending a bomb on hair spas, use a budget-friendly hair mask once a week. The Tresemme Keratin Smooth Deep Smoothing Mask contains marula oil that fights frizz, detangles hair, boosts shine and makes hair soft.
Price: ₹600 for 300 ml
