8 scalp saviours for hair that thrives in heat and humidity

This Ayurvedic-meets-clinical serum is like a wind-down ritual for your scalp. Packed with soothing ingredients like amla and bakuchiol, it calms inflammation, rebalances sebum levels, and helps reduce hair fall—especially useful after long, sweaty days. Use it as an overnight treatment; wake up with a refreshed, nourished scalp that feels like it just had therapy.

7 scalp serums that will help you tackle seasonal hairfall

This hair growth serum by Inde Wild is formulated with a trio of clinically studied actives—redensyl, procapil and baicapil—ingredients that are known to work at the follicle level to support stronger roots, improved density and healthier regrowth over time. Despite its strong ingredients list, it feels calming, lightweight and non-irritating on the scalp, which truly matters when a treatment is meant to be part of your regular routine. It’s a great pick if you’re looking for a product that offers targeted hair growth paired with a clean, scalp-friendly formulation that doesn’t overwhelm.

6 beauty picks for a routine that works as hard as you do

Strong, healthy hair begins at the scalp. Powered by redensyl, procapil and baicapil, this targeted serum supports stronger, fuller-looking hair while helping soothe and rebalance the scalp. The lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs easily, making it ideal for nighttime use. Apply before bed, switch off and let it work quietly while you rest.

Massage it in before bed, wash it out the next day and your hair feels softer, shinier and a little more cared for.

10 beauty picks Team Tira tried & loved in 2025

“After long shoot days, especially, I have a little post-work ritual where I get a proper head champi from my mom. It’s honestly the best stress relief,” says Pragati Namdev from the studio team. “The Inde Wild Champi Hair Oil has become more than just a haircare product for me. I love that it’s infused with herbs and botanicals like brahmi, amla and neem. It helps with blood circulation, soothes my scalp and my hair feels noticeably healthier over time. With oils like castor, sesame, coconut, almond, argan and vitamin E, it feels like a truly nourishing find.”

7 beauty essentials for someone who loves a pared-down beauty routine

This one’s for nights when you’re not in the mood to experiment and just want your haircare routine to feel familiar and effective. This herbal hair oil is infused with brahmi, amla and neem, ingredients known to boost blood circulation, soothe scalp irritation and support healthy hair growth. It’s a multitasker, helping you tick off multiple hair goals with one simple step. The formula also features castor oil blended with five potent carrier oils that deeply nourish the scalp and strands, leaving your hair feeling stronger and softer over time. Massage it into your scalp for 10 to 15 minutes to unwind after a long day. Leave it on overnight for a deeper treatment or rinse it out after 30 minutes with a mild shampoo.

What can silk pillowcases do for your hair?

The touch of silk is all you need to feel like you are drifting among the clouds, but the benefits don’t end there. For starters, the gentle sheen of silk will go easier on your strands than a regular cotton pillowcase. The payoff? Lesser tangles and reduced frizz when you wake up in the morning.

If shaving some crucial time off your getting-ready routine on hectic mornings wasn’t enough, the reduced friction also means that you’ll be waking up to find fewer strands on the pillowcase. Side-stepping a hectic detangling session every morning will further dial back unnecessary hair breakage. Besides, the slick surface of a silk pillowcase also works wonders for maintaining hairstyles, helping that blowout last way longer. With breathability and temperature regulation, you’ll find that the cool surface of the fabric also helps keep your scalp from getting heated during the night. And unlike other drying fabrics, the smooth touch of silk prevents any loss of moisture from the hair shaft, thereby keeping your hair hydrated for longer.

Should you make the switch to a silk pillowcase?

If waking up to silky-smooth, frizz-free hair sounds like your idea of a good morning, you’ve likely hit ‘add to cart’ on a glossy silk pillowcase already. Here are some helpful pointers to keep in mind so you can say hello to your best hair and skin.

1. Quality is everything when finding the right silken companion for your strands. Silk is measured in terms of momme—think about thread counts when shopping for cotton. A good silk pillowcase will offer a momme between 22 and 25.

2. Once you’ve found the right one for your needs, it is equally important to pay attention to caring for your silk pillowcase. This luxurious fabric doesn’t take well to scalding hot water or rough-and-tumble wash cycles, which is why you’ll want to opt for hand-washing it with lukewarm water.  

3. Instead of wringing out excess water by hand, gently dab until damp with a towel and air-dry on a flat surface in shade to prevent direct exposure to the sun.

Planning the perfect nighttime haircare routine

Finding the right pillowcase is just the beginning—there are endless ways to level up your haircare game as you clock in a quick snooze. Here’s how:

1. If you have long hair, it is helpful to braid it lightly to avoid friction and breakage as you toss and turn all night under the covers.

 

2. Hoping to fortify your strands as you sleep? You’ll find a host of nighttime creams and overnight treatments ready to help.
