Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming the ₹599 mask is a shampoo, it's a weekly intensive step, not a daily-use product, don't compare its price directly to a shampoo's.
- Picking based on price alone, match the mechanism (keratin, peptides, ceramides) to your actual damage type first.
- Expecting the cheapest option to underperform, the ₹249 picks use the same penetrating-active principle as the pricier ones.
