1/5

Powerful Indian alternatives at your fingertips

People have a global obsession with scalp serums, glass hair, and a 10-step haircare routine invented by the Korean beauty industry. But, long before these inventions, we Indians used to heavily rely on natural ingredients, which still hold the same important value. Let’s swap some trendy Korean hair care products with Indian hair growth ingredients, which are natural and, of course, budget-friendly.

2/5

Amla oil in place of scalp serums

The K-beauty market is saturated with scalp serums that promise to stimulate the follicles and boost growth. However, in the Indian market, you can do the same with amla oil, which is a vitamin C powerhouse and strengthens the roots while improving hair density. Its rich antioxidants reduce hair fall, support collagen production, and delay premature greying as well.

Swap the hair growth ampoule with bhringraj

If you’re using any type of hair growth ampoule, then switch it with bhringraj, which works much like Korean ampoules and is designed for intensive hair repair. It activates hair follicles, prolongs the growth phase, reduces issues of dandruff, treats scalp irritation, and also improves your hair thickness.

Ditch the hair-moisturising essences with coconut oil

Well, Korean outlines heavily rely on hydrating essences and hair toners, which can easily be swapped for trusted coconut oil, which is known for its deep-conditioning staple. It penetrates deeply inside the hair shaft and is better than the other oils. From preventing protein loss, which is the main reason for breakage, to adding natural shine and intense softness, coconut oil is a must-have pick.

5/5

Bid adieu to protein treatment for fenugreek paste

If you’re still into protein-rich treatments for your damaged hair, then stop it today and opt for fenugreek seeds, i.e., methi, which offer a natural alternative. Brimming with proteins and nicotinic acid, it strengthens weak strands, reduces shedding complaints, and adds volume and smoothness as well.
