I have been using this new range from BBLUNT for about two weeks now and if you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen the story I did about this new haircare range and how my hair looks the day after I wash it.
It was this Repair Remedy Range from BBLUNT. This range is specifically meant to help hair that has been damaged by chemical treatments, pollution and heat styling, get back to life!
The two key ingredients of this range are Keratin and Argan Oil which help repair damaged hair and give it a shiny, smooth and soft feel and look respectively.
BBLUNT products are specially created for Indian hair and this range offers colour protection as well, so even if your hair is coloured or chemically treated, you can use this range.

Made with a special blend of Keratin and Argan Oil, this conditioner is perfect for coarse, brittle and damaged hair that needs a bit of love. Hair looks shiny, feels soft and smooth from root-to-tip. The deal fix for your hair hangover! Helps dry, damaged hair get back to life. Specially created for Indian hair. Colour protect
Claims: This hydrating leave-in cream helps replenish overly damaged hair, leaving strands supple and repaired without sacrificing natural bounce and movement. It works to smoothen hair whilst protecting it from harmful pollution, chemical treatment and heat styling damages. The special blend of Keratin and Argan Oil helps prevent split-ends and protects against breakage. The ideal fix for your hair hangover! Helps dry damaged hair get back to life.
MRP: Rs.550/- for 150g
I love the bright red colour and the packaging as usual is very convenient, a press pump for shampoo and a cute squeezy round conditioner. The leave-in cream has a very unique and interesting shaped bottle.
I have tried all the hair care ranges in BBLUNT and I have to say, this one is my absolute favourite.
My hair feels super sleek and smooth, very straight and shiny after using this range and stays so for 3 days. The best part is there are absolutely no knots in the hair even after washing, when there are usually at least 2-3.
I don’t use heat everyday or colour or chemically treat my hair, but sometimes for shoots you do have to style or use heat and that does damage your hair eventually. Since the time I have started using this range, I see a visible difference in my hair health and it feels so smooth, that I just can’t stop touching my hair or running my fingers through it.
Shampoo foams well and the conditioner is rich enough to hydrate the ends, but not weigh the hair down. It also amazingly detangles. The leave-in adds to the shine and smoothness and nourishes the ends.
I am super impressed with this range, and honestly it delivers much more than I expected it to. Highly recommend the BBLUNT Repair Remedy Range, especially if your hair is coloured/chemically treated/dry/damaged.
As odd as it may sound, onions are very beneficial for skin and hair treatments. These sweetly pungent dumplings are extremely effective for treating various skin and hair conditions if used in the right manner.
Onions are a rich source of vitamins A, C and E; sulphur and B-complex, thereby helping to improve blood circulation which in turn helps in rejuvenating a dull complexion and protects the skin from free radicals. Onions also contain a plant pigment known as quercetin which is known to be one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature. Quercetin helps to fight free radicals which in turns protects our bodies from diseases. Onions also help fight acne since they are antiseptic and contain anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. Onion juice helps in unclogging blocked pores which can help treat various skin and scalp conditions.
The best part about using onions for your beauty care is that they are a kitchen staple in most households and are easily available. They are also most likely to be organically grown unlike most other vegetables.
Below mentioned are some of the ways in which you can incorporate these pungent little beauties for your skin and hair care needs –
1. Acne Face Mask -Onion Juice + Neem Oil + Tomato Juice
Make a blend of 1 teaspoon onion juice with 1 teaspoon tomato juice and 2-3 drops of neem oil. Cleanse skin with a mild cleanser and apply this concoction directly all over the affected areas. Regular application will help to reduce inflammation as well as reduce acne scarring. Onion juice helps to kill the germs in the pimples thereby treating acne.
2. Anti-hairfall Hair root treatment- Onion juice + coconut oil or olive oil
Add 2-3 tablespoons of onion juice to 1/4th cup coconut oil or olive oil. Apply this in circular motion all over the scalp avoiding the length of the hair. Keep this mixture for 20 minutes before rinsing off with your regular shampoo followed by conditioner. This pack helps to strengthen hair follicles and stimulate healthy hair growth. Onion juice also helps to reduce and treat dandruff and promotes hair growth since it revives the hair follicles.
3. Face pack for rejuvenating dull skin- Onion juice + gram flour + milk + rose water
Mix 1 teaspoon of onion juice with 2 teaspoon of besan (gram flour). Add enough milk to make a thick paste. Optionally, you can add a few drops of rose water. Apply this pack all over the face and neck. Relax and lay back for 15- 20 minutes before rinsing away the pack with cold water. This mask works as an excellent homemade and natural skin exfoliator, thereby helping to rejuvenate dull skin.
4. Lip pack- Onion Juice + vitamin E oil
Mix a drops of freshly squeezed onion juice with a few drops of vitamin E oil. Apply this mixture on the lips and let it sit for 10 minutes. Regular application of this pack will make the lips soft and pink.
5. To treat insect stings and bites
Insect stings and bites can be very painful. Onions are very effective in treating insect bites and bug stings. In case of such an event, simply slice an onion and apply it on the affected area. This will reduce the inflammation, sting, pain swelling and itchiness caused due to insect bites or bug stings and calm the affected area.
TIP- To make onion juice, grind or mash one onion. Take this onion pulp and strain it through a tight wire mesh to obtain onion juice.
I get this question asked a lot, which shampoo and conditioner do you use or what’s your haircare routine. Well it keeps on changing, I don’t stick to one shampoo or conditioner.
Currently I have been using and loving this range from BBLUNT.
I use the BBLUNT Perfect Balance Shampoo which is meant for normal to dry hair.
Claims: This pick-me-up for your hair gives it great moisture balance. Its unique formula gives you perfectly cleansed, healthy hair. An everyday fix made simple.
Specially created for Indian hair with a unique colour protect formula.
How to use: First, thoroughly wet your hair. Then take one pump or more depending on hair length. Spread it evenly throughout your hair by massaging the scalp with gentle circular motions. Rinse out thoroughly and repeat if necessary.
It has glycerin and pro-vitamin B5. It’s very gentle and nourishing, and perfect for everyday use if you shampoo your hair everyday. This won’t dry out your hair, yet cleanse the scalp well. It foams well and gets rid of all dirt, sweat and grime, without stripping hair’s natural oils.
Coming to the Conditioner, I use the BBLUNT Intense Moisture Conditioner because of my drier ends.
Claims: This moisture-rich conditioner makes out-of-control hair manageable. It smoothens, softens & adds shine. Show your hair some love.
How to use: Make sure to remove excess water after shampooing. Apply the conditioner evenly to lengths and ends, avoiding the scalp. Leave it on for at least 3 minutes and then rinse thoroughly. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately
It has Jojoba oil, Vitamin E, Hydrolyzed Keratin & Wheat Germ Oil. It adds back moisture to the hair and even if you have colour treated/dry/damaged hair, this will hydrate the ends and give a nice sheen. I have highlights towards the bottom and I do need a rich conditioner like this.
Always make sure you squeeze out all the excess water before applying the conditioner. I have fine hair and even though this conditioner is rich in texture, it does not weigh down my hair.
And finally to finish, I use the BBLUNT Intense Moisture Hair Serum which is one of their new launches.
Claims: This serum provides an extra boost of nourishment and gloss to dry hair. Thick and rebellious hair is smooth, manageable and well-nourished.
How to use: Take a coin size amount into your palms and apply it evenly, focusing on mid-lengths & ends. The amount may vary depending on hair length. Works best on damp, towel dried hair. Style as desired.
It has avocado extracts, jojoba oil, argan oil and Vitamin E. It doesn’t contain mineral oil which forms majority content in most of the leave-in serums including some high end ones. It’s like an oil but it is non-sticky and reduces frizz instantly!
Use a serum on an everyday basis, even if you haven’t washed your hair. It acts as a sunscreen for your hair and forms a barrier against sun damage and free radicals. A glossy shine and frizz control are added benefits 🙂 It also works as a heat protectant.
I am loving these three products currently, I usually air dry my hair and don’t use much heat. This combination does not weigh down my fine hair and hydrates the ends well plus the serum gives a nice shine.
2017 comes to an end, another year passed. It feels like yesterday it was 2010, no idea where time is running. As always, my 2017 skin and hair favourites are here. I have been doing this since 6 years now and this is the 7th year 😀
Now this list is not about only new products that have been launched this year. I include all my favourites, some which I have tried this year and some which are my Holy Grail since years. Basically all products which I have used the most in 2017. We will start with skin and hair today, and then move on to makeup.

Skin:
Face Wash: Avene Cleanance Gel, Forest Essentials Delicate Facial Cleanser Kashmiri Saffron & Neem (It’s very gentle and perfect for daily use)
Face Scrub: Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub, The Body Shop Tea Tree 3 in 1, Pixi Glow Tonic, Zenmed AHA/BHA Refining Scrub (more of chemical exfoliation this year)
Oil: I didn’t oily my hair much this year 🙁 I should get back to it
Hair Scrub: The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Hair Scrub
Shampoo: Sebastian Professional Penetraitt Shampoo (Lovee this!), Wella Pro Oil Reflections Shampoo, The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Shampoo, L’Oreal Professionnel INOA Color Care Shampoo
Conditioner: Sebastian Professional Penetraitt Conditioner, The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Conditioner
Deep Conditioner: Wella Pro Oil Reflections Mask, L’Oreal Professionnel INOA Color Care Mask
These were all the products I have used and loved the most in 2017. The categories and products have reduced compared to previous years. I realize right now I haven’t been using too much for skin care, in terms of masks or exfoliation. I used multi use products which work as moisturizer/serum/oil all in one. I think I was just plain lazy this year especially the past 3-4 months. I will try and take more care of my skin and hair the next year as I just turned 30 🙂 It is all the more essential for me now to stop being lazy and give my skin some TLC.
What about you? What are your 2017 skin & hair favourites? We will cover makeup next.
If you have fine/thin hair or straight hair like mine, one of the cons is flat, limp hair. I am always looking for products which can help add volume to my hair. I have been using these two products from BBLUNT currently and have been loving the results.
Hence, I thought of sharing them with you guys.
First is the BBLUNT Blown Away Volumizing Leave-in Spray
Claims: If big hair is your thing, we introduce you to your new best friend. This volumizing spray gives you incredible fullness & bounce. Go big with confidence. Specially created for Indian hair. Protects from the environment and heat styling damage.
How to Use: Flip your hair upside down and spray evenly on damp hair, focusing on the roots. Dry naturally or blow dry for full-blown volume. For maximum effect use with Full On Volume Shampoo & Conditioner.
MRP: Rs.550/-
I love the bright yellow packaging! The cap on the spray secures it perfectly. It’s a watery liquid which comes out as a spray and is to be used on damp hair, post washing.
Then you let the hair air dry naturally or blow dry. Flip hair upside down and spray it, blow dry upside down for added volume!
I love the result it gives. My hair is usually flat from the top because it’s long and straight and the weight pulls it down. BBLUNT Blown Away Volumizing Leave-in Spray helps add some volume on the top making the hair look bouncy and full.
This was for damp hair. Now after 2-3 days when you hair gets flat again and scalp a little oily and you have no time to wash your hair, the BBLUNT Back to Life Dry Shampoo comes to rescue.
Claims: Instant freshness is now just a spray away. This dry shampoo does a smooth job of absorbing excess grease & grime and revamps your hair in seconds. It has a fresh floral inspired fragrance with refreshing notes. Don’t leave home without it. Specially created for Indian hair.
How to use: Shake well before use. Hold can in an upright position, six inches away from the hair & spray evenly, close to the roots. Leave it on for 2 minutes. Massage & brush thoroughly.
MRP: Rs.550/-
I have used and loved the original one, they have launched it in two new variants: Spring Fling and Beach Please. I am currently using the Spring Fling one and it smells so good!
All you need to do is shake and spray on the scalp, more where you feel it’s oily. Rub the hair and scalp, lightly massage it. And you are done! It will absorb all the oil and give a little bounce and volume
I feel they have improved the formula and it doesn’t leave any white cast on the hair or scalp now. Spring Fling has a soft, floral smell and I love this variant more than the original.
So these are the two products I am currently using and loving to add volume to my hair. I do recommend trying them out, if you haven’t already. You can buy BBLUNT products HERE
What do you do to add volume to your hair? Have you tried these products? Let me know in the comments below.
The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Haircare, Amazonian Saviour Balm, Spa of the World New Launch Review
Hi guys,
The Body Shop launched a bunch of new stuff and I have been trying them out since almost a month now.
To start with the Fuji Green Tea Haircare Range, there is a shampoo, conditioner and a hair scrub in this range.
Fuji Green Tea Refreshingly Purifying Shampoo
Claims: Enriched with revitalising Japanese green tea, our refreshing shampoo cleanses and removes impurities, basking your hair and scalp in an invigoratingly fresh feeling.

Ingredients:
Fuji Green Tea Refreshingly Purifying Cleansing Hair Scrub
Claims: Introducing a new, nature-inspired approach to haircare, our invigorating scrub shampoo blends Japanese green tea, mint menthol, salt crystals and Community Trade honey from Ethiopia. Massage onto the scalp to help stimulate blood flow and whisk away impurities like dust, smoke, sweat and styling residue. This purifying scrub will make your scalp feel instantly refreshed, help reduce build-up on hair and leave you feeling revitalised with a healthy-looking shine.
For normal to oily hair and scalp Gently massage to remove impurities and reduce build-up on hair Hair feels clean and purified with a healthy-looking shine Enriched with Japanese green tea and Community Trade honey from Ethiopia 100% vegetarian Formulated without silicones Scrub shampoo
MRP: Rs.1845/- for 240ml
Ingredients:
All Body Shop hair care products are silicone free. This whole range smells so fresh and citrusy, it’s very refreshing. The shampoo is clear and runny, it foams and cleanses well. The conditioner is thick to dispense from bottle, but it is not heavy or rich in texture. It does not weigh the hair down. If you have very dry hair, this conditioner won’t be moisturising enough for you. But for oily to normal hair, this conditioner is absolutely perfect.
The star of this range is the hair scrub, it’s a thick scrub with salt-like granules. The thick salt settles down, so you need to mix the scrub well before taking it. It is a scrub shampoo, so it even foams as you massage it on the scalp, the salt starts melting. The scrub is not very harsh or abrasive but it cleanses the scalp well and circulates the blood on the scalp. It also removes dirt, build up, etc., but it is a little drying. I would suggest using it once a week, not more than that.
I start with the scrub, then follow it up with the shampoo. Since the scalp is cleansed well with the scrub, the shampoo foams and cleans easily. Finally the conditioner towards the lower half of the hair.
Amazonian Saviour Multi-Purpose Balm
Claims: Packed with powerful natural origin oils and waxes, Amazonian Saviour™ Multi-Purpose Balm helps to revive the appearance of tattoos, intensely nourishes severely dry skin and helps to improve the appearance of skin marks with a nourishing, 100% natural-origin formula. Inspired by the Amazonian communities that have relied on natural oils to care for their skin for centuries, Amazonian Saviour™ Multi-Purpose Balm is made with just nine natural-origin ingredients. £1.30 from the sale of every Amazonian Saviour Multi-Purpose Balm will be used by The Body Shop’s Building Bio Bridges Programme to support conservation and communities by funding Bio-Bridges. Our Programme funds ground-breaking organisations who build Bio-Bridges to connect land and create sustainable communities. The total raised from sales will be paid to non-profit organisations selected for their expertise in building Bio-Bridges around the world.
Nourishing multi-purpose balm Helps revive the appearance of healed tattoos Helps improve the appearance of skin marks for more even-looking skin texture Intensely nourishes dry skin 100% vegetarian Enriched with Community Trade organic babassu oil & organic andiroba oil from Brazil
MRP: Rs.1045/- for 50ml
Ingredients:
It’s a thick and waxy balm, it melts in contact with fingers. I had a particular dry patch above my lips since 3-4 months and I tried everything from oils to butters but this patch kept coming back. With this balm, it vanished in just two uses! I was amazed, it is quite rich and is multi purpose as the name suggests. It can be used on elbows, knees, cracked heels, every dry part of the body. It is truly a saviour in winters.
In the Spa of the World Range, two new products have been added. Thai Makrut Lime Firming Oil and French Grape Seed Body Scrub
Claims: Our new body oil is infused with zingy makrut lime, praised by Thai women for its stimulating and uplifting scent – ideal for re-awakening your senses. Discover a firming oil that’s quickly absorbed to nourish your skin, infused with Community Trade marula oil. Use as part of our Spa of the World™ Firming Ritual.
Firming Massage Oil Infused with nourishing Community Trade marula oil and zingy makrut lime 100% Vegan
MRP: Rs.2195/- for 170ml
Ingredients:
It comes in a round bottle, and same tinted brown outer packaging as all Spa of the World products. It has a round dispensor at the center and dispenses the required qty of oil. I love the fresh, scent of the oil and it’s very light weight and not at all greasy. It gets completely absorbed into the skin and does not leave any residue. You won’t even feel you have applied any oil, my skin drinks it up instantly.
Spa Of The World French Grape Seed Body Scrub
Claims: We’ve infused our new scrub with grape seed powder from France and Community Trade sugar from Paraguay. It helps to invigorate, exfoliate and refine your skin plus, the fresh and delicate fruity fragrance helps awake and revive the senses. Use as part of our Spa of the World™ Firming Ritual.
Refining grape seed sugar scrub Infused with grape seed powder from France and Community Trade sugar from Paraguay 100% vegan 94% agreed that skin looks and feels smoother and softer (User trial on 101 women after 4 weeks)
MRP: Rs.2895/- for 350ml
Ingredients:
My favourite product of all these new launches, has to be this body scrub. It’s a clay based scrub with fine exfoliating granules. It is not at all harsh but still scrubs the skin well. This scrub is literally a spa in a jar! It is exactly like the body scrubs they use in spas. When you take the product on your fingers and start massaging it on the body, it feels slightly warm, I believe it heats up on massaging and in contact with the skin. Then it scrubs the dead skin cells really well without even feeling like a scrub. I assumed it would be a little drying since it’s clay based, but it has oils in it, so in turn it leaves the skin moisturized and my skin feels soft like a baby’s bum! Literally. My skin doesn’t crave a moisturizer after using this, even in these winters. I skipped it once, and it felt fine. This is the best body scrub I have used till now, hands down!
It is neither drying not overly rich/oily. It is nothing like those usual oil/sugar/coffee based scrubs! I highly recommend getting this.
Though I loved all the new launches this time, if I have to absolutely pick a few and recommend, I would go with the Grape Seed Body Scrub and the Fuji Green Tea Hair Scrub! I am sure you will love them!

Two Easy Heatless DIY Hairstyles for Indian Outfits
Hey guys,
It’s been quite some time I did a post dedicated to hairstyles here on the blog. Today I am showing you guys two easy heatless DIY hairstyles for Indian outfits, perfect for the wedding season.
I usually prefer my hair down and don’t go for updos as hair down looks better on me, comparatively. Plus this is quicker and easier.
Now I prefer washing my hair previous night to save on time the next morning, if I have to attend an early morning function. Also this first hairstyle needs some prep the previous night.
Hairstyle 1: Natural Beachy Waves with a headband
Step 1: After washing my hair and towel drying them, I use the BBLUNT High Definition Curl Defining Leave-In Cream. Apply it from mid ears to ends and scrunch my hair well.
Step 2: After about 30-40 minutes when hair is semi dry, I tie them into two regular braids and blow dry them. Now as I mentioned heatless, you can skip this step. My hair is poker straight and I need little heat. Then just sleep with your braids 🙂
Step 3: Next day after your makeup and outfit is done, just untie the braids and you will have amazing, natural beach waves and voluminous hair. Don’t brush your hair, just run your fingers through. Add the BBLUNT B Hive Volume On Crown Clip-In Hair extensions on the top for added volume on the crown and that 70’s look.
Step 4: Add a nice, bejewelled head band and finish with the BBLUNT Spotlight Hair Polish for instant shine.
And ta-daa. You are done!
Hairstyle 2: Twisted Tale with a dash of pink
Step 1: For the 2nd hairstyle, I used the BBLUNT Climate Control Anti-Frizz Leave-In Cream on towel dried, damp hair.
Step 2: Make a middle parting and take one inch hair from the front. Twist it vertically from top to bottom, and then twist it horizontally shifting it behind.
Step 3: Secure it with bobby pins and repeat the same on the other side.
Step 4: Take a middle section from the hair left ahead towards the bottom, and spray the BBLUNT One Night Stand Temporary Hair Colour. I am using Blush Pink here, as it goes well with my outfit. There are other colours to choose from- Bronze, Copper, Blue, Green. Place a foil/paper so that the colour doesn’t spoil your clothes. Finish with the BBLUNT Spotlight Hair Polish for that added shine.
And we are done 😀 You can also add a maang tikka at the centre.
So these were the two easy and quick hairstyles for Indian outfits. I hope you try them, do share pictures tagging me, if you do. Links to the products..
Himalaya Herbals Anti-Hair Fall Range Review : #4FabulousHair
Hi guys,
Many of us are facing hair fall with our current lifestyle and water. Diet is something which we have to take care of, to reduce hair fall. If we lack iron/folic acid, proteins, water/zinc/omega-3, we need to add them in our diet through food or multi-vitamins.
The external factors like dirt, harsh shampoos, hard water, dandruff, etc. which lead to hair fall can be controlled with a proper range of hair care and correct use.
Himalaya Herbals has an entire anti-hair fall range and I gave that a try..
There are four steps in their range and four products i.e. oil, shampoo, conditioner and cream.
Steps
Anti-Hair Fall Oil
Claims: Himalaya’s Anti-Hair Fall Hair Oil prevents hair fall and stimulates hair growth. It is enriched with the goodness of Bhringaraja and Amalaki which strengthen the root shafts and prevent hair fall.
Key ingredients:
Bhringaraja is rich in phytochemicals like eclalbosaponins and wedelolactone which help promote hair growth and strengthen the hair root, and keeping hair healthy.
Amalaki, a natural hair tonic used extensively in Ayurveda, is an effective ingredient for treating the hair and scalp. It strengthens hair follicles and promotes hair growth.
Directions for use: Part your hair and apply Anti-Hair Fall Hair Oil on the scalp. Massage the scalp gently in a circular motion using your fingertips so that the oil is absorbed into the scalp. Leave for an hour or more before washing.
MRP: Rs.100/- for 100ml
Ingredients:
Anti- Hair Fall Shampoo
Claims: Himalaya’s Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo is a breakthrough 2-in-1 formula that reduces hair fall and provides nourishment to hair shafts. It also conditions and improves your hair texture to reduce hair fall due to breakage. The herbs Butea Frondosa and Bhringaraja stimulate hair follicle growth and are effective in strengthening hair roots and controlling hair fall.
Key ingredients:
Butea Frondosa or ‘flame of the forest’ is native to India and Southeast Asia. It strengthens hair and helps promote hair growth.
Bhringaraja is traditionally used in Ayurveda for hair growth and hair dyeing. It nourishes the hair root, improves hair texture and reduces hair fall.
Directions for use: Gently massage the shampoo into wet hair and scalp. Leave for two to three minutes, and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if necessary.
Effective for all hair types. Safe to use on artificially colored or permed hair.
MRP: Rs.130/- for 200ml
Anti-Hair Fall Conditioner
Claims: Himalaya Anti-Hair Fall Conditioner nourishes, fortifies, and improves the texture of hair, making it smooth, soft, and healthy. Enriched with protein-rich herbs like Bringaraja and Chickpea, it stimulates hair follicle growth and effectively strengthens hair strands and roots, helping control hair fall.
Key ingredients:
Bhringaraja
Butea Frondosa (Palasha)
Chickpea, a rich, natural source of protein, effectively nourishes hair, making it healthy and strong.
Directions for use: After shampooing, gently apply Himalaya Anti-Hair fall Conditioner along the length of wet hair from base to tip. Leave for two minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
For best results, use in combination with Himalaya Anti-Hair Fall Oil, Himalaya Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo, and Anti-Hair Fall Hair Cream.
MRP: Rs.130/- for 200ml
Anti-Hair Fall Cream
Claims: Himalaya’s Anti-Hair Fall Cream is a unique, daily-use formula which reduces hair fall and strengthens hair follicles. The goodness of essential herbs like Bhringaraja and Amla nourish hair from the roots, help reduce hair fall, improve hair growth, and strengthen hair follicles.
Key ingredients:
Bhringaraja
Amla
Directions for use: Massage Anti-Hair Fall Cream gently into the scalp using a circular motion. Use regularly before and after shampooing to reduce hair fall and maintain healthy hair.
For best results, shampoo hair with Himalaya’s Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo.
MRP: Rs.80/- for 100ml
The cream can be used before or after hair wash i.e. as a deep conditioner. I either oil my hair if I have an hour before I shampoo or I use the cream as a pre treatment, 10-15 minutes before washing my hair.
The oil is very light in texture and non-sticky as claimed, it gets absorbed easily and is easy to wash off as well. It does help a bit with hair fall, I will have to use it more regularly to see visible results in hair growth though.
Both the shampoo and conditioner are white in colour and have a soft, floral smell. They are very light weight and do not weigh down the hair or make them flat.
Shampoo foams and cleans the scalp well, and the conditioner does moisturize the ends and give them enough hydration. But if you have very dry hair and need extra hydration towards the ends, I would suggest using the cream regularly.
The cream is very rich and moisturizing, it’s perfect for dry hair. I love using it as a pre-treatment, so that it doesn’t weigh down my hair and yet I get it’s benefits.
Overall I am loving this range and I definitely see a visible difference in my hair fall during and post hair wash, plus regularly too. The hair I see each time I comb my hair, is reduced to a great extent.
If you are looking for a good anti-hair fall hair care range, definitely try out this new Himlaya Herbals Range.

Strands of Gold: 72 Hours Frizz-Free Hair with Wella Professionals Oil Reflections
Hi guys,
I got to experience the new Wella Oil Reflections range. The launch was at The Taj Mahal Palace, Colaba followed with the experiential of the same treatment at The Taj Salon.
We were briefed about this new Wella Oil Reflections Range. It has a shampoo, conditioner and mask for home use and an elixir for in salon use and I’m here to share what I learned at the event.
Our hair is made up of keratin and lipids. While every company tends to concentrate on keratin, Wella Professionals Oil Reflections range works on lipids. Lipids work like cement in binding the hair, and even though hair has just 4% lipids, it is very essential as they are the main binding factor.
This range works on dry and frizzy hair and gives an instant moisture boost to the hair. The conditioner from this range works in 30 seconds, so you don’t need to keep it for 2-3 minutes.
There is a mask which can be used once a week for deep conditioning and to add even more moisture.
Wella Professionals Oil Reflections Range can give you 72 hours of Frizz Free hair and instant luminosity. The range has great ingredients such Camellia oil and White tea extract; while the versatile Oil has macadamia oil, avocado oil and Vitamin E.
To experience the range at The Taj Salon, they started with washing the hair with the shampoo, following it up with the elixir which was directly applied on the wet hair. And finally the mask was applied, which was then kept for 5 minutes before washing off.
My hair felt super smooth and soft and more importantly was frizz-free, as you can see in this video.
I got the treatment done on 14th and it claims to keep the hair frizz free for 72 hours i.e. 3 days and I must say, it does what it claims! My hair felt super soft for all three days and I couldn’t stop touching my hair.
I have the shampoo and the hair mask from this range and used it again at home. I used this range quite a few times after that and I am absolutely loving it!
Here’s what you need to know:
Luminous Reveal Shampoo: FOR ALL HAIR TYPES
Light moisturizing shampoo leaves the hair deeply cleansed and luminous.
MRP: Rs.975/- for 250ml
Luminous Reboost Mask: FOR ALL HAIR TYPES
Mask that nourishes and replenishes the hair structure leaving the hair smooth and luminous
MRP: Rs.1075/- for 150ml
Luminous Instant Conditioner
It acts in just 30 seconds!
MRP: Rs. 975/- for 250ml
The shampoo is clear and very light in texture, so even if you have an oily scalp, this will work for you and your scalp will be oil free next two days. Mask is thick and white and very rich. It conditions the ends really well and keeps them frizz free as the hair gets enough moisture. I absolutely love the fresh scent of this range.
Wella Professionals Pro Elements range was my absolute favourite untill now, and I recommended that to everyone. I am so glad Wella Professionals has launched this new Oil Reflections range, I see my new favourite in this.
While Wella Professionals Pro Elements is SLS and Paraben free, Wella Professionals Oil Reflections is not completely SLS free but it does not dry out or damage the hair, in fact it is all the more moisturising because of the Camellia Oil.
Wella Professionals Oil Reflections is meant for all hair types. I definitely recommend trying out the new Wella Professionals Oil Reflections Range. You can buy the range at at a salon near you, find here https://www.wella.com/professional/en-EN/salon-finder or online on Nykaa.
Have you tried any Wella Professionals Hair Range before?
Dafni The Original Hair Straightening Ceramic Brush Review, Demo
Hi guys,
I tried the Dafni Straightening Hair Brush and here is my mini review and demo..
I heard so many good things about this and when finally I got to try this, I was really excited. A lot of brands have tried making similar straightening brushes like Corioliss, etc., but Dafni was the first brand to make it and it’s their original concept.
Claims: Dafni is an innovative straightening brush that is based on a revolutionary technology and a unique patent pending 3D ceramic surface design.
Lesser time: Your straightening time will be reduced by a whopping 10 times. Lesser effort just brushing through will straighten your hair.
Lesser damage: Your hair remains damage free in the long run despite heat induced straightening. The contact area is 10 times larger than a usual straightener. It works with thicker sections as well, covering more area in less time. It requires less number of passes to straighten, which means less damage. Its smart software maintains a constant temperature, which is recommended as the optimum temperature to avoid heat damage. Since the temperature doesn’t vary, heat is distributed evenly along the shaft of the hair, reducing risk of damage to the hair cuticles. It takes only 1 minute to heat up and it’s ready to be used. As with usual straighteners, the hair strand isn’t being pressed between two hot plates. The hair runs freely through the bristles with 3D heat applied evenly as it moves along. This method doesn’t dry the hair strand out. It also leaves hair bouncy and adds volume to it. Brushing is intuitive. Hence, straightening becomes easier and the results are better. Reaching those tricky spots at the back of your head won’t be a problem anymore. 44 spring loaded insulators on top of the bristles protect the scalp from the hot surface.
Dafni has a contact area that is 10 times larger than normal hair straighteners this makes hair straightening really easy and fast and you can actually straighten your hair in less than 5 minutes
It comes in the standard black and purple packaging. It is 12 inches in size and is slightly heavy, but not as heavy that it would weigh down your hand or pain while straightening.
It looks exactly like a hair brush, the bristles have a vaccum base. It comes with just one on-off switch, no other complications. And it has one standard temperature.
I know my hair is naturally straight but it’s all wavy and curved towards the lower half and ends specifically, so this gave me a nice and sleek look. The results are not miraculous on my hair as most of it is straight anyway.
It takes 60 seconds for the brush to heat up and I straightened my hair in less than 2 minutes. It’s as easy as brushing your hair and anyone can do it. The red light blinks for 60 seconds and it turns green once it’s hot. And you can switch it off, once you are done. Even if you leave it on, it will switch to standby mode in 15 minutes.
Demo..
If you have curly hair, this is a blessing for you! It may take you about 5 minutes, but nothing more than that. I can take thinner sections and go about twice for complete straight and sleek hair, but I prefer this naturally straight look.
I highly recommend this, it’s expensive but totally worth the price. You will save a lot of time and efforts in managing your hair!
P.S : You can use this only on completely dry hair! Do not use on damp/wet hair
