    When your hair starts looking dull and brittle, a deep-conditioning mask might seem like the obvious choice. However, if dryness persists, it’s also worth checking your shampoo. To help you find the perfect match for your hair, we compiled the best hydration-boosting formulas that promise to repair and enhance shine, leaving your locks looking red carpet-worthy.

    What Causes Dry Hair?


    As we age, hair becomes weaker and duller, making it more prone to dryness. Overuse of heated styling tools like hair straighteners and exposure to harmful UV rays also contribute to damaged hair. Similar to how UV rays can dry out your skin, they affect hair much like bleach. They degrade its protein structure, making strands brittle, prone to breakage and overly porous.

    Hydrating And Repairing Shampoos


    While products can help improve the situation, finding the right shampoo for your hair type can make a noticeable difference.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
