Sometimess you refuse to part with products that you've been using since childhood, but you really should bid adieu to Johnson's Baby Shampoo if you are in your 20s. And thanks to the Greenhouse Effect and pollution even the climate has changed, so you should change your products too.

Lady, all you need for lustrous tresses are the right products and a proper haircare regime. So follow these basics:

Listen to your mother
Do you follow your mother's advice and oil your hair at least once a week? Or boil neem leaves in a litre of water and wash your hair with it to get rid of dandruff? Fast-paced lifestyles leave little time for such home remedies. But massaging your hair with hair oil is a must to boost circulation in your scalp and flaunt healthy hair.

How to be a diva
Who said only Sushmita Sen and her colleagues in Bollywood use the world's most nourishing hair creams and potions?

After every oiling, shampoo and conditioning, apply a hair serum through the length of your air and it will be lustrous like a diva's. Moreover, hair serum also acts like a protective barrier against environmental hazards.

Mumbai-based hair specialist Imraan Sheikh explains, "It is very important to use a serum because it protects your hair from UV rays and pollution. Serums contain silicon which seals hair cuticles to prevent any damage. Even more important, is using the right serum for your hair type otherwise your hair will look limp and dull."

Sheikh recommends these steps to apply serum the right way:

1. Take a small (coin size) amount of serum in the palm of your hand.
2. Flip your hair upside down and rub in the serum.
3. You need to apply it through the length of your hair and not the scalp.
4. Apply really well with your palms because your body heat activates the serum.
5. Always ask your hair stylist or a hair specialist to suggest a serum that will suit your hair type and texture.
