When it comes to hair care, it can get too confusing to find out which products deserve shelf space in your beauty closet.
So, we spoke to dermatologist Dr Stuti Khare aka ‘Hair Growth Queen’, who is known for her non-invasive methods to improve your hair health. A healthy balanced diet that is rich in iron, vitamin D and vitamin B as well as avoiding stress are some of the easy lifestyle changes that you can make to get the hair of your dreams. She adds, "Choosing the wrong styling products, trying too many random products, too much of chemical treatments is another reason for many hair troubles. The best way is to seek the advice of your dermatologist before starting any product or treatment."

Here are her product recommendations for common hair issues that beset many of us:
Frizzy, curly hair
Curly hair require a lot of hydration and moisture. In the absence of nourishing products, curly hair tends to become frizzy and unmanageable. So, include haircare products with intense hydration to ensure soft, bouncy curls.
