How to cover grey hair at home | BBLUNT Salon Secret High Shine Crème Hair Colour Review

Hi guys,

As most of you know by now, BBLUNT has launched another new product in the hair-colour category and that is the BBLUNT Salon Secret High Shine Crème Hair Colour.

I was sent the hair colour to test out and since I don’t colour my hair, I tried this on my mom to see the results. Does it deliver what it claims? Read on.

Claims: BBLUNT‘s Salon Secret High Shine Crème Hair Colour, is a 3-part hair colour that gives you salon like gorgeous hair at home. Packed in this box is our salon’s secret to dazzling hair colour.

Simply mix the luxuriously creamy Colourant and Developer together in equal proportions and add the Shine Tonic. Now mix till smooth for a fragrant, non-drip blend. Apply and Voila! You’re only 30 minutes away from epic, shiny hair! This no ammonia hair colour gives 100% grey coverage that lasts upto 8 weeks long.

SHINE TONIC.  Enriched with Silk Proteins, this special tonic is what your regular hair colour had been missing for so long.

MRP: Rs.199/-

Product Features:

  • 3-part colour hair colour with a unique Shine Tonic that gives you salon like gorgeous hair at home
  • Contains no ammonia
  • The rich colour provides 100% grey coverage
  • Enriched with Silk Proteins, the colour makes your hair smooth after colouring
  • Available in 7 colour shades

o Black – NATURAL BLACK 1

o Chocolate – DARK BROWN 3

o Blueberry – BLUE BLACK 2.10

o Honey – LIGHT GOLDEN BROWN 5.32

o Wine – DEEP BURGUNDY 4.20

o Mahogany – REDDISH BROWN 4.56

o Coffee – NATURAL BROWN 4.31

Ingredients:

The product’s USP is its Shine tonic – no other brand offers additional shine like BBLUNT, it’s a 1 st in the country.

– Grey coverage + global colour
– No ammonia – minimum damage

It comes in colour co-ordinated boxes as per the shades. Contents include the colour, developer and shine tonic plus a set of gloves and an instruction leaflet.

My mom has medium length hair and I thought I would need two boxes but the quantity is pretty good and one box was more than enough for her hair. But if you have medium-long length hair, you might need to go for two boxes. We opted for Chocolate – Dark Brown for my mom.

Read the instructions manual well, follow the directions, do a patch test at first if you have sensitive skin and remove any colour from the skin immediately, if applied accidentally.

All you need to do is mix the colour, developer and shine tonic together, the entire tubes, mixing them really well. For an all over colour, empty the complete tubes. For only root touch-ups, use 25 gm of Colourant and Developer and 4 ml of Shine Tonic, conveniently marked on the tubes.

And apply the colour immediately. Make sure you cover the roots, area behind the ears and all the inaccessible areas.

Let is sit for 30 minutes for the colour to develop (45 minutes for the Burgundy shade). After the 30 minutes are done, before washing add a little water to your hair and emulsify for 5 minutes. Then rinse until the water runs clear. Shampoo and condition as usual, preferably with any set of BBLUNT shampoo and conditioner as they are all colour protectant.

Here are the Before-After pictures..

I absolutely loved how each and every strand and root was well covered. The colour was very natural looking. Hair was softer and shinier, the unique shine tonic definitely worked! My mom has very dry hair and hence it is easy to feel and notice the difference, her hair is now softer and smoother with a visible shine.

It is easy to use at home, ammonia free, comes in 7 colour shades, plus gives a very natural result covering 100% grey hair really well! The shine tonic is an added bonus. I definitely recommend BBLUNT Salon Secret High Shine Crème Hair Colour, at Rs.199/- it is very economical for the result it gives!

Godrej Nupur Coconut Henna Crème Colour Review,Demo

Hey guys,

Godrej Nupur has come up with a new Coconut and henna based crème hair colour. My mom colors her hair very regularly and I have tried 1-2 hair colors on her before too.

Product features: The Goodness Ingredients: Henna and coconut oil have been trusted for centuries. It is an extremely popular hair care solution known for its natural goodness and deep nourishing qualities.

Goodness of Henna
Healthy, Nourished Hair
Nourishment of Coconut Oil
Long Lasting Colour

Convenience with Pre-Measured Sachets: The simple pre-measured sachets are easy to use, no need to measure.
Just cut, fully squeeze the colour & developer sachets, and mix in a plastic or glass bowl. You are ready to go.

MRP: 20gm + 20ml- Rs.39/-

Shades Available:

  • Dark Brown
  • Natural Brown
  • Natural Black
  • Burgundy

When I got a chance to try this new hair colour on my mom, I was like why not. I like the fact that Godrej Nupur has added natural ingredients to hair colours- ingredients which are really good for your hair, especially coconut oil. The coconut oil is known to be an excellent deep conditioner for hair and helps to make hair healthier and luxuriant, while the henna in the hair colour is known to nourish hair, making it silkier and shinier, and making it look healthy.

It’s been 7 months since I have got married and I miss my mom like crazy, I had expected that I would miss her, but I miss her way too beyond any expectations 🙁 More so, coz I live all alone i.e. just me and hubby.

This time I coloured her hair, trust me you should do it too for your mom. You get to spend that time together and it is like a small connect emotionally.

Since this hair colour has pre- measured sachets, I just had to mix the colour and developer and it was ready.

The Mix of Colour and Developer

I went with the colour ‘Natural Brown’ for my mom. As the pack mentions, for longer hair you would need 2-3 packs., we tried covering majority areas of greys for which one pack sufficed.

I used a brush and had worn gloves for easier application and to avoid staining my hands. We did a patch test on her before to see if she is not allergic to anything in the product and as expected, she was not and we went ahead with the colour. Godrej Nupur Coconut Henna Hair Colour is safe and contains natural ingredients and is also an ammonia free hair colour, but every skin is different, so always do a patch test first. The packet also suggests doing a patch test first before application.

You can read more about the hair colour and some FAQ’s HERE

You need to keep the colour for 30 minutes and then wash with normal water.

Here is a Before-After. I tried it from 2 different angles,coz the crown was where my mom has the most greys and it showed a remarkable difference.

Before,With the Colour,After
Before-After (Crown)

I would say I am pretty impressed with the results.The coconut & henna in the colour worked wonders by leaving her hair feeling nourished, covering the greys, giving it a shine and silkiness & a nice natural brown shade with a lovely fragrance. And it is so economically priced at Rs.39/-. My mom loved it too and I guess she is going to stick to this for a long time now 😀 Recommended. It is truly a #ColourThatCares

My Lakme ‘Show Stopping Hair’ Makeover

Hey guys,

Remember the Lakme Show Stopping Hair Collection I had posted about HERE and also the show I attended at Lakme Fashion Week W/F’14 which was styled by Little Shilpa.

The collection includes three dramatic themes:

• ‘Illusion’, inspired by the natural phenomenon of the ‘Northern Lights’, it is a playful fusion of colors

• ‘Metamorphosis’ inspired by the complex art forms of postmodern Paris, it is the line of dual hairstyles and textures ranging from straight and curly, to short and long

• ‘Moulin Rouge’, a modern take on the ‘classic elegant’ with bouffants and waves

So I have never ever colored my hair and was very apprehensive but still wanted to give it a shot. I was given an appointment at the Lakme Absolute Salon, Bandra which by the way is the most awesome Lakme Salon in Mumbai. I love that place, been there 3-4 times, its always a pleasure.

I chose the hairstyle in the below pic..

 

I was attended by Shefali (who btw is amazing) I told her my apprehensions that I want to maintain the length of my hair and I am coloring for the first time, so something very dark and minimal. She heard me out and suggested me the best route we could work on, also since I had cut my hair just a month ago for the wedding, she said the hair flow is perfect and she will just texturize a bit and no need of chopping off.

She brought the hair color booklet (shown above) and played a small game with me as to which color do I naturally divert towards..and it was darker shades obviously. I did not want global color but subtle highlights. we went for streaks at the top and then at the ends starting below the neck with enough space in between for the color to be visible.

She suggested I go with auburn blend which would be perfect for my hair and will just play a peek a boo in between just as I wanted it.

We started with the hair color and it had to be kept on for about 35 minutes. I was also given steam since my hair was virgin which takes more time for the color to develop.

And later the hair was washed, blow dried and some texturizing wherever required. Shefali gave me slightly shorter bangs in the front as I like it that way.

Before-After

I loved the outcome! It was just perfect..the way I pictured it and wanted it to be. I was so happy with the results, I did not expect I would like color on my hair!

One of you will get a chance to experience this Show Stopping Hair Makeover..I will announce the contest soon 🙂

I hope you liked the result too..do let me know 🙂
