Dr Nene said in the video, 'One mindset that keeps me calm under pressure – be the Zen in the storm.

You know that inside you, you are burning. But outside, you have got to be calm. This is how I stay calm.'

To help others in the same boat, she shared the six things that changed the (hair) game for her in an Instagram post. These include: *Inversion hair combing every morning *Consuming moringa powder with a glass of water on an empty stomach *Nail rubbing *Kapalbhati kriya *Use serum regularly *Gentle scalp massage Along with these tips, she shared that she prioritises a diet rich in essential nutrients for healthy, thick hair. 'I include protein-packed foods to support hair growth and strength. I also consume plenty of leafy greens, like spinach and kale, for vitamins A and C, which help produce sebum and promote scalp health. Healthy fats from avocados, nuts, and seeds keep the hair hydrated and prevent dryness. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is also crucial for overall hair health,' said Srinivasan. Taking a cue from her, we asked experts if these tips work. Celebrity cosmetologist Dr Mahnaz Jahan Begum, founder of Keraderm Clinics, shares that scalp massage and applying a serum containing all hair growth ingredients like redensyl procapil is a good tip. 'Gentle stimulation of the scalp may increase blood flow, potentially promoting hair growth,' said Dr Begum. A post shared by LogaPritika Srinivasan (@ However, she shared that 'no scientific evidence supports the claim that rubbing fingernails promotes hair growth'. 'Inversion hair combing may increase blood flow to the scalp, potentially promoting hair growth,' said Dr Begum. While not a magic bullet for hair growth, moringa powder may have some benefits that can promote healthy hair growth, added Dr Begum, adding that a balanced diet is essential.

Even though sheet masks have taken the spotlight, nothing beats the power of the traditional Indian face masks. Don't believe us? Take cues from Bhumi Pednekar, who made Multani mitti (fuller's earth) a part of her "Self care Sunday". Bhumi Pednekar, known for her radiant skin and natural beauty, recently shared an Instagram post and a refreshing glimpse into her skincare routine. In the post, The Royals actor is seen in a homemade face mask made of Multani Mitti while holding a rose.

For the unversed, Multani Mitti is a mineral-rich clay-like substance that is known for its cooling properties. A natural cleanser and astringent, Multani Mitti helps reduce oil, fight acne, balance and brighten skin tone, and reduce pigmentation. It is a staple in Ayurvedic skincare and has been used for centuries in Indian households. Bhumi Pednekar's choice to use this age-old clay highlights that she likes to take the natural route to take care of her skin. And a reminder that you don't always need fancy skincare products to keep problems at bay. Bhumi Pednekar's Face Mask Recipe One of the easiest and best ways to make this face mask is by simply taking some fuller's earth and mixing it with water. That's how Bhumi is using it too! Once it mixes well and comes to normal consistency, you can apply it to your face. You can also mix almond milk, rose water, or coconut water in it as well. While this works for Bhumi Pednekar's skin, you should check with your doctor to avoid any skin issues or allergies.
