Shalini Passi’s natural shampoo
Talking to Pinkvilla, Shalini revealed that her black tresses are all-natural and never colours them. The 48-year-old also avoids heat styling her hair because she wants it to ‘last like this for 100 years’. She added, “I don’t colour my hair. I have two white hair – one from the pandemic and one from my son’s college admissions. This is my natural hair colour. I use Reetha (Indian soapberry) and amla to wash it. You first soak it in water for 24 hours or more, and then you grind it. It’s like a natural shampoo. So, I use that. Just sometimes, when I am travelling, I use regular shampoo. I also use coconut oil (sic).”
The Fabulous Lives star also dished out the products she strictly avoids to maintain her hair. “I avoid anything with silicone. I don’t use shampoos or hair products that have silicone. I don’t straighten my hair permanently, but I do occasionally do it with an iron. He [Shalini’s hairstylist] is not allowed to spray anything on my scalp. Also, I have donated my hair [and] shaved it four times in Tirupati. So, that’s why I don’t style or colour my hair,” she stated.
‘I am not a minimalist’
In the interview, while getting her makeup done, Shalini proclaimed that she has found her signature style, and she loves to keep it as it is. The 48-year-old is often seen at many events with her hair tied in a high ponytail. According to her, this ensures that minimum products are used in her hair. She explained, ‘We have found a cheat code where I blow dry minimum. Then, we tie it in a pony, clean up the front, and then we put clips. So even tho everyone is asking me to change hairstyle, I always say no, and now it has become my signature hairstyle.’
