Cop these post-wash hair oils for smoother, luscious hair

We list the best elixirs that put frizz to rest

It doesn’t come as a surprise that winters are gruesome for our mane. If the skyrocketing pollution, dirt, smoke and other gunk from the surroundings were not already stirring up a mishmash on your scalp, the nippy weather adds to the mayhem, leaving your hair frizzy, dry and damaged. Needless to say, you end up subscribing to a bad hair day, almost every day. Turning to a post-wash hair oil can be more beneficial than you think, and, before you ask, such oils are fabricated in a way that allows them to bestow heavy nourishment without making your tresses sticky, greasy or flat. From argan oil-infused concoctions to keratin-based treatment oils, here’s a line-up of the best post-wash hair oils.

Kérastase L’Huile Originale Elixir UltimeFrom smoothening the hair to offering heat protection, taming frizz to controlling damage, this serum is a versatile do-it-all. The rich formulation is an amalgamation of five precious oils, namely marula, argan, camellia, corn germ and Pracaxi that soften, smoothen and protect the tresses. The texture definitely makes it a win-win, rendering nourishment sans weighing down the hair. Did we mention that Emily Rajatkowski swears by it, too?₹ 2,900Shop here
