Shruti Haasan says her glossy black hair is all thanks to this simple oil mix: ‘It’s worked miracles for me’

Shruti Haasan reveals the age-old secret behind her gorgeous hair and it’s not a fancy serum but a simple sesame oil ritual passed down through generations.

Shruti Haasan, the Indian actor and singer known for her roles across Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema, recently appeared on The Ranveer Show podcast on July 11. In a candid chat, Shruti opened up about the secret behind her long, luscious black hair.

What’s the secret behind Shruti Haasan’s gorgeous hair

When host Ranveer Allahbadia asked her how she maintains such healthy hair, Shruti revealed that it all comes down to one simple, age-old ingredient: sesame oil. "This is my natural hair colour," she began. “And I use oil, only sesame oil. Sesame mixed with coconut or sesame mixed with almond, depending on my mood. But basically, sesame has worked miracles for my hair.”

Shruti also shared her routine for oiling her hair and how often she uses it. "Before every wash," she said. "Like, I don't wash my hair every day. You shouldn't wash your hair every day. So if I'm shooting, then the night before, I'll put the oil in, go to sleep, wake up, wash, and go." For Shruti, oiling isn't just a beauty hack; it's a self-care ritual. "This oil is my rescue," she said, smiling. "Oils, I'm telling you, it's all about oil."

In a world of expensive serums, heat treatments, and salon rituals, Shruti's simple hair routine is a gentle reminder that sometimes, less really is more, and that our grandmothers were right all along.
