History Behind Dimple Kapadia Voluminous Hair

“I remember my hair being laden with oil and tied into two tight braids with a side parting. This was a requisite style for school and my mother adhered to it religiously. The habit of oiling was prevalent throughout my childhood, and it helped as I have always had very dry, thick and coarse hair. Without the amount of professional styling I’ve had over the years, it would not look so glossy and shiny,”– She spilt some secrets about her voluminous hair in her recent interview with Vogue.

Beer For Hair

Dimple remembered, “I got highlights for the first time in 1984. I was in London and the weather there is beautiful. Then I flew back to Mumbai to shoot for Sagar. Suddenly the heat and humidity caused my hair to frizz and I had a tough time figuring out how to take care of it! But beer is a great conditioner. I remember for ‘Tera Naam Liya’ with Jackie Shroff in Ram Lakhan, I’d used beer as a conditioner. The song was a hit, but it was my hair that ended up being talked about incessantly!”

Nourish Hair With Onion

While talking about hair nourishment, she revealed one incident. “A couple of years ago, I was travelling with my children and grandchildren. I’d doused my hair with onion juice – you could smell me miles away – it’s so strong. The scent stayed, even after I’d shampooed my hair 4 times. My hair was wet so I opened the car window to let it air dry only to find onion tears streaming down everyone’s faces and a barrage of complaints!”

She further added, “onion juice is excellent for the hair but I think the safer option is to use the onion extract oils you get now.”

Homemade Hair Mask

Homemade hair masks can help moisturize and nourish the hair. They are especially beneficial for dry, damaged, or frizzy hair. Dimple shared her secret hair mask recipe that basically contains nourishing ingredients which hydrate, and add shine and softness to hair in the form of deep conditioning.

Dimple said, “Oiling goes a long, long way. I oil my hair overnight and get a head massage with a homemade hair pack which is a mixture of eggs (5 whites and a whole egg) and a banana. I leave it on for 10-30 minutes and then wash it through with lukewarm water.”

Sharing her secret hair oil recipe, she said, “(that Twinkle mentioned in an interview with Vogue in 2018) is a concoction of almond and sandalwood oil as a base, with geranium, rosemary and lavender essential oils. This is the legacy I’ll pass down to my grandchildren – oil your hair and do not colour it!”

Mane meals

The ‘BOBBY’ star believes that to accelerate hair growth, it is important to watch what you consume on a daily basis.

“I ate a lot of fish growing up. We lived in a coastal area and I feel it really helped my hair. Include lots of protein in your diet, eat balanced meals and include seeds and nuts,” advised Dimple.

Dimple Hair Experiments

Either indulging in short hair fads or colouring her hair in reds, blues, aqua, teal shades or many other unusual colours, Dimple has experimented several times with her mane. She loves the ‘salt n pepper’ look too. “Apart from in Tenet, I also grew my greys out during this lockdown. I’m 62 and it’s so empowering to stop hiding your greys. After Tenet people have said it’s a fashion statement. I think wearing your natural greys with artfully placed highlights, looks spectacular. I loved showing off my natural hair and I think every woman should be able to sport them with confidence. If you’re going grey, just add the right highlights to enhance them and wear them with pride,” said Dimple.

Last but not the least, the style icon said, “I’m thinking of shaving it off! Let’s see when this mad impulse hits me. But long or short, greys and all, just love your hair. Nourish it, take care of it and it will always look beautiful.”
