Nearly every woman is struggling with hair issues, where hair fall tops the chart. Some complain about hair thinning, some about a receding hairline, which eventually steals the glam away from our mane.

The reason can be blamed on one’s lifestyle, overuse of products, and even pollution.But, amidst all these issues, actress Shruti Haasan is unbothered and surviving with strong and long locks. You can’t put everything on genetics, as the diva has finally spoken about it and recently shared the best way to tackle hair loss issues by heavily relying on home remedies. Yes, you read it right! The ‘Coolie’ actress shared the secret behind her long hair: using a simple natural oil, which tames her locks and makes them strong and shiny.

During her appearance on the podcast, she revealed that she heavily relies on sesame oil and swears by this age-old ingredient. When the host asked her how she maintains her healthy locks, Shruti replied, “This is my natural hair colour. And I use 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."

She also gave a glimpse into her oiling routine and said that she uses this oil before every wash.

She said, "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."
