Sanya Malhotra has truly taken the spotlight by storm, captivating audiences with her powerful performance in ‘Mrs.’, which has quickly become the talk of the town. The actress, who first won hearts with her debut in ‘Dangal’, has now elevated her craft with a role that showcases her incredible talent and fearlessness. As her career continues to rise, there’s no better time to reflect on the other aspects of Sanya’s life that have made her a standout, including her stunning, natural curls that always manage to steal the show.

Sanya’s luscious curls have long been admired, and she’s never been shy about sharing the secrets to maintaining them. During an interview with Tweak India, when asked about her curly hair routine, she didn’t hold back. “I’m very passionate about this question, so let me start,” she said, launching into a detailed explanation of how she keeps her curls looking flawless. Her routine has even inspired curly hair influencers like Swarnim (Curlem Up), who followed Sanya’s steps and achieved equally beautiful results.
Here’s how to achieve those gorgeous curls. The first step is to wash and condition your hair as usual, making sure to use products that are gentle and moisturizing. Next, invest in a wet brush or detangling comb, which you should gently run through your hair while flipping your head downwards to avoid breakage. After rinsing out the conditioner, Sanya emphasizes the importance of styling while your hair is still soaking wet. This is when the magic happens.
For styling, start with a good curl cream. Apply it generously, scrunching it into the hair in sections to ensure even coverage. After that, follow up with a strong-hold gel to lock in the definition. Working in sections once more, use a diffuser to dry your hair, allowing the curls to form naturally. Once your hair is dry, finish by breaking the gel’s hold with a dab of hair oil, scrunching the hair upwards to give it added volume and bounce.

While this routine is perfect for defined curls, it’s also ideal for frizzy or wavy hair that’s on the cusp of being curly. Either way, following Sanya’s curly hair routine isn’t just about achieving great hair—it’s also an incredibly soothing, self-care experience. With a regimen this thoughtful, it’s no wonder her curls are as iconic as her performances.
