About Holistic Hair Treatments & Styling
I started The Hair Kitchen in my own kitchen, mixing up hair packs and treatments the way my dadi (grandma) used to. For me, hair isn’t just about looking good - it’s about what’s happening inside your body too. If your hair is falling or feeling dull, it’s usually your body’s way of saying kuch toh gadbad hai (something’s not right).
Scalp-First, Always
Everything I do starts with your scalp. I mix old-school Ayurvedic scalp therapy with modern science, so you get the best of both worlds. No quick fixes or harsh chemicals here - just plant-based, cruelty-free stuff that actually works.
Colour, But Make It Safe
If you’re scared of hair colour ruining your hair, I get it. My ammonia-free hair color process uses a secret blend of plant extracts (straight from my kitchen) in every mix. This isn’t just for show - it actually protects and strengthens your hair while the colour sets. Works for full grey coverage, highlights, or even if your hair is thinning. Every root touch-up comes with a free homemade fruit hair pack for extra nourishment.
Repair & Rejuvenate
Damaged, frizzy, or lifeless hair? I’ve got you. My natural protein hair treatment (Tanino Botox, formaldehyde-free) smooths and revives hair. For deep nourishment, I use fruit spas and jaddibutie (herbal) blends for growth and shine. Dull hair gets a shine & bounce boost, no blow-dry needed.
Healthy Cuts & Styling
I cut to remove damage, not just for style. I avoid heat as much as possible, using no-heat hair styling techniques like soft drying with a bun. If we use heat, your hair gets protected with my Hair Glace leave-in.
Mera kaam is about healing, not just styling. If you want hair that feels as good as it looks, you’re in the right place.

My Story
I’m Ritu, and honestly, The Hair Kitchen started in my tiny kitchen, mixing up stuff from my love for Ayurveda and cooking. I swear by healing from the inside out, not just for hair but your whole self. That Mira Rajput Kapoor shoutout? Wild day, but what really matters is when someone like Saroj aunty calls her hair 'jhaadu jaisi' (broom-like), and a year later, she’s got baby hair sprouting. I look at your diet, stress, even blood reports. Not just hair, it’s everything.
My Work
What I Offer - Natural, plant-based hair products, ammonia-free coloring, Ayurvedic hair spa, online & Mumbai salon consults, and hairstyling courses.
Customised Hair Care Routine - No one-size-fits-all here. I check your scalp, lifestyle, food habits, then design a plan just for you.
Healing Inside-Out - Hair fall, PCOD, dandruff? I dig deep, sometimes even blood reports, for real holistic hair consultation.
Colour Without Worry - Ammonia-free hair color Mumbai style, mixed with my plant extracts, plus a fruit pack for extra care.
Ayurvedic Rituals, Not Just Products - All plant-based, no sulfates or parabens. It’s about rituals for healthy, happy hair, not just bottles.
