SRK carries mineral water to wash his hair

Mumbai:
King Khan ke fab baalon ka raaz? Constant care and bottled water!

Men have their cars, and women have their hair. Or so we thought. But men are as fussy when it comes to their locks. Case in point: Shah Rukh Khan.

Particular paani

The actor is very particular about his mane and makes sure he treats it well. He is finicky; not just about hair products, but also about the water he uses to wash his tresses.

When the actor shoots out of the city in remote places, where there is only hard water available, he carries mineral water to care for his locks.

During a shoot of Priyadarshan's Billu Barber in Pollachi, the actor ensured there was a steady supply of mineral water for his bath.

Bottled water only

A source reveals, "His hair reacts badly to hard water. He has a condition where his hair gets hard and loses its shine if he doesn't take good care of it.

And you can't have a bad hair day while shooting, so he only uses bottled water in such cases." On the sets of Billu Barber, it had become a joke, and everyone would tease him about it.

Once bitten...

Says his hair stylist who advised King Khan against using hard water, "It's important for styling that hair be washed with regular water.

In the past, SRK's hair got damaged when he used well water while shooting in remote locations during Paheli. After that, he has learned to be careful.

As an actor, you are in the business of looking good, so you better take care of your skin, body and hair. Also it affects the look and continuity in the film and he doesn't want to take any risks."
