We all have a story that starts with a bad hair day — but ends with a lesson in self-care. Today on Candid Confessions With Chhavi, we’re talking about something that’s often treated like vanity but is actually deeply personal — our hair.From hair fall to scalp health to the endless cycle of products we try, it’s time to get real about what’s actually happening up there. Because hair care isn’t just about how you look — it’s about how you feel when you look at yourself.So we have DHRUV SAYANI, the man who changed the face of the Indian hair care industry by launching our very own Salon brand, KT PROFESSIONAL, and let him untangle the myths, decode the marketing, and understand what your hair is really trying to tell you. Whether you oil it every Sunday, colour it every month, or have just given up — this conversation is for you.Don’t forget to subscribe for more candid conversations that challenge conventional thinking!GUEST: DHRUV SAYANI, Founder-KT Professional
