A lustrous mane that defies age doesn’t come from expensive salons—at least not for Twinkle Khanna. At 51, the author and entrepreneur continues to be admired for her thick, glossy hair. Recently, Twinkle revealed her simple, traditional haircare routine that has stood the test of time—one passed down by her mother, the legendary actress Dimple Kapadia.
Unlike luxury serums or high-end spa treatments, Twinkle’s hair secrets are rooted in age-old home remedies, straight from the kitchen. In a recent Instagram post, the “Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle” host shared that she often treats her scalp to DIY masks made from beer, curd (dahi), and eggs—a wholesome blend of natural nourishment.
Twinkle playfully calls her scalp a “fridge,” as that’s where her beauty ingredients are usually stored. Each of these kitchen staples serves a purpose:
- Beer adds shine and volume.
- Curd soothes and conditions the scalp.
- Eggs provide protein to strengthen hair strands.
This simple yet effective mix, she says, has helped her maintain the shine and thickness that continue to draw compliments.
But that’s not all—Twinkle also swears by another traditional secret: onion juice. Known for its strong scent and even stronger results, onion juice is rich in sulfur, which helps stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote healthy growth. Her method is simple—massage the juice onto the scalp, leave it for about 20 minutes, and rinse thoroughly. Though not glamorous, the results are undeniably worth it.
Twinkle’s approach to beauty is refreshingly grounded. Instead of chasing instant fixes, she believes in consistency, tradition, and simplicity. By crediting her mother for these time-tested remedies, Twinkle highlights the value of natural, homegrown beauty practices—ones that have quietly sustained generations of Indian women.
In a world obsessed with chemical-laden miracle products, her revelation is a gentle reminder that true beauty often starts at home. If beer, curd, eggs, and onions are good enough for Twinkle Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, perhaps it’s time we rediscover our kitchen’s hidden beauty treasures too
