Himalaya Herbals Anti-Hair Fall Range Review : #4FabulousHair

Himalaya Herbals Anti-Hair Fall Range Review : #4FabulousHair

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.

Satthwa Premium Hair Oil for Hair Fall Control & Hair Growth Review

Satthwa Premium Hair Oil for Hair Fall Control & Hair Growth Review

Hi guys,

I have been using this Satthwa Premium Hair Oil since quite some time now, around 3 months. I had mentioned it on my Snapchat and few of you had asked me to review it. Also this was a part of last month’s favourites, see HERE

Claims: What is the oil made up of? The oil is made from a blend of 9 different oil which especially formulated to get into the roots and give second life to hair. No chemicals are used in the oil. What can the oil do? Within the 1st-2nd wash after use, you can feel the difference in the health of your hair (Soft and shine). In a month of use, it reduces hair fall and eliminate dandruff within 3-4 months it will help with regrowth of hair. Even for someone who does not have any hair problems, it will help improve the over quality and health of the hair and hair follicles. Read more here www.satthwa.com

Contains Omega 6 & 9, Iron, Calcium, Magnesium and rare Vitamin K from Sweet Almond oil. Ricinoleic acid from Castor oil which makes hair darker and stops premature greying. Has Lauric acid from E.V Coconut oil. Jojoba oil which is Anti-fungal & cleanses the scalp by unclogging pores. Vitamin E contains d-alpha Tocopherol. Amla oil which is rich in Vitamin C. Grapeseed oil which delays skin aging. Emu oil stimulates dormant hair follicles and helps in new hair growth. E.V Olive oil treats dry and damaged hair.

MRP: Rs.599/- for 100ml

Buy on Flipkart or Paytm

I always mix a few different oils when I have to oil my hair. This was a readymade mix of 9 different oils including Emu oil which is the main oil here for hair growth.

I tested this product for a long time, coz I definitely saw results in 2-3 uses in terms of softness and shine, and after one month use, saw some difference in my hair fall too. It was reduced to a great extent. But in terms of hair growth, the growing phase takes time and hence I am reviewing it now after 3 months.

It comes in this small plastic bottle with a white flip cap packaging. The oil is not very runny or thin, but neither too goopy or thick. It’s the perfect consistency and easy to use. Also the flip cap shuts tight and it doesn’t leak.

I love how each oil has a different benefit and a blend of all is giving all the benefits together. That makes this oil a blend of a lot of different vitamins and nutrients and you don’t need anything else additionally when using this.

It also helps in dandruff and greying of hair, along with hair fall and promoting hair growth. I usually suffer from dandruff in the Dec-Jan winter period coz of dry scalp and dryness in general. I have already seen some difference in my dandruff with this, I am pretty sure this will help keep the dandruff at bay this winter.

I do not have a lot of hair fall and still saw difference with this. I even made my husband try this and he saw difference in his hair fall too.

The only con would be the smell, it’s not very pleasing. But then this is 100% chemical free and only a blend of oils with no other chemicals, parabens or artificial fragrance in it. So can’t complain 😀

Also I know this is slightly on the expensive side, but some of the oils in this are expensive and not easily available. So anyway you cannot make this same blend at home and/or you will need to buy 9 different oils separately.

Since this works, the price is justifiable. And I totally recommend it! Many of you have been asking me a hair remedy or product for hair fall or promoting hair growth, look no further as we have found the perfect product here.

Dr Batra’s Hair Oil Enriched With Jojoba Review

Dr Batra’s Hair Oil Enriched With Jojoba Review

By Pallavi

Hii Lovelies,

Hair oils are my absolute favorite. You might think that I am blessed with really great hair. But no I am not. I don’t have great hair but I always keep working on them in order to have great hair like Bhumika. You know sometimes you are blessed with great hair and sometimes you have to really work hard to get that. Similar is the case with me too. I have been pampering my hair with hair oil and hair masks even DIY hair masks since ages. During my hair care journey I have tried a number of hair oils. But I have never tried anything from the house of Dr. Batra. And we all are well aware of the hair care products of Dr. Batra especially their hair fall products. So, one day when I saw this hair oil at my nearest store then I bought this one without giving any second thoughts and thus here follows the review of the same.

Price : INR 175 for 200 ml (Buy HERE)

Directions to use : Tilt the bottle sideways and take some oil in your palm. Rub your palms to warm the oil and apply it on your scalp by lightly massaging the oil all over your scalp and covering the hair ends too. For best results, use along with Dr Batra’s shampoo.

Ingredients:

What it Claims : Dr Batra’s – Jojoba Hair Oil Jojoba’s excellent moisturizing property restores the texture, glow & luster of hair naturally. Dr Batra’s hair oil enriched with jojoba extracts, prevents tangles, dryness, brittleness and even split ends.

My View:

Dr. Batra Hair oil comes in a medium sized plastic bottle packaging. The bottle is really light weight and easy to carry with. The packaging has the product related information and other claims mentioned on the packaging itself which is really informative for all the consumers. The bottle has a small hole at the top through which the oil comes out.

This oil from the house of Dr. Batra is infused with jojoba oil which is really beneficial for your hair. It is incredibly lightweight and does not feel sticky or heavy on your hair. It spread easily and has a very soothing calming effect not only on hair but also on the nervous system. This oil is also very light in weight and spreads very easily on hair. It nourishes the hair cuticles without a feeling of sticky or heavy. The oil has a very mild and soothing smell of jojoba oil which is not at all strong and I am sure won’t bother sensitive noses.

Since the oil is so lightweight, you can easily apply it overnight and then wash off your hair in the morning. You hair won’t feel the normal chip-chip of any usual hair oil. And once you wash your hair you can still feel the bounce and the healthy feeling of your hair. Also, this oil is meant to take care of any scalp infections or irritations if any. Thus usage of will ensure that your scalp remain free of any kind of scalp infections and thus promotes the healthy growth of your hair.

You require a very little amount of hair oil and thus a single bottle will last you for months. A single 100 ml. Bottle lasted me for 2 months. So, that way it is good economical hair oil.

Good about Dr Batra’s Hair Oil Enriched With Jojoba

1. Good packaging

2. Huge quantity

3. Makes hair soft and bouncy

4. No sticky or heavy feeling on hair

5. Single bottle lasts long

6. No hair fall witnessed

Bad about Dr Batra’s Hair Oil Enriched With Jojoba

1. Sensitive noses can be bothered by the smell

Rating –

Packaging – 4.5/5

Texture – 5/5

Effects – 4.5/5

Overall – 4.8/5

Editor’s Note: This sounds really interesting.

Step By Step Description of How to Do Hair Spa At Home

Step By Step Description of How to Do Hair Spa At Home

By Sanchita

The idea behind the hair spa is to rejuvenate and protect the hair. Yes, the good old warm oil massage and mild shampoo followed by conditioner is the regular or weekly routine carried on by us to protect and condition the hair. But, apart from that the hair needs specific care and rejuvenation by the process of hair spa. Now, hair spa is not necessarily done in parlors or hair care institutions and can be easily carried on at home with specific and easy available ingredients at your own volition. So you need not spend valuable money or time at the spa session every time. Let us see the step by step description of how to do hair spa at home.

1. Hair Oil

When you are going to devote yourself to the self-spa session, avoid using the readymade oils from the market which are nothing but merely mineral oils. So it will do no good to the hair. Use a concoction of hair oils like coconut oil, castor oil, almond oil and olive oil. The mixture should be 4parts coconut oil, 1 part castor oil, 2 parts almond oil and 3 parts olive oil. You can add other essential oils like argan, rose, ylang ylang or lavender as per your choice. Warm up the oil in a double boiler (no direct heat) and you can also add various herbs as well. For e.g. dried amla, methi seeds, neem leaves, hibiscus leaves paste, etc. can also be added in the warm oil which will further strengthen the hair. The hair oil is the vital step and best if it is done for.

2. Through massage

While the oil is the most important ingredient, the massage is the process which completes the procedure partly. Simply applying the oil won’t do so make sure you dedicate a good amount of time to massage the scalp well. Do not vigorously rub the scalp but merely run the fingers in a circular motion covering the whole area of the scalp. Massaging is essential as it improves blood circulation in your scalp area. You should massage your hair for 10 to 15 minutes. It helps relax the scalp and increase softness. It further aids in strengthening the roots of the hair and nourishes the hair-shafts, promoting new hair growth and strengthening current hair.

3. Warm Towel

If you have applied the oil a night before, then apply the warm towel in the morning and if you have applied the hair oil in the morning, do this at least an hour or two post oil massage. Dip a towel in warm water (just make sure not to burn the hand) and wrap it around the hair. In general, salons use a stream machine but the warm towel will surely do the trick. Warmth open up the pores on the scalp and thus it gets all the benefits of the oil. Also, it cleanses the scalp thoroughly, thereby promoting healthy hair growth.

4. Henna Mask

There are several hair masks available for hair and you can include the ingredients like ripe banana, eggs, curd, mayonnaise, etc. but I would suggest henna. Personally I have benefited a lot from the henna hair packs and it works like wonder. Henna is an age old method widely used in Ayurveda for treating hair and scalp problems. It is one of the best natural remedies for hair growth, helps to prevent dandruff and scalp itching. It acts as a good conditioner for your hair and helps to grow your hair. Mix the henna powder in the form of a paste with the help of curd or lemon and simply apply on the hair.

5. Shampoo

Once the hair mask is dried or after 40-50mins, wash off the mask with plain water. The rinsing will be easy as the hair as already well-nourished with oils. Next, move on to the main process of shampooing the hair. Try and use a SLS and PARABEN free shampoo which is mild and easy on the hair. Using a harsh chemically enriched shampoo means whatever effort you gave would go down the drain and the hair will be frizzy, rough and unmanageable. Shampoo will cleanses off every layer of dirt, grime, dandruff or any other residual substances on the hair, including the hair oil and hair pack. Although, the hair would retain the benefits for sure. One of the most important thing is that, rinsing off the shampoo is very important. A lot of people do apply it correctly and massage onto the scalp but forgets to rinse it out.

6. Conditioner

After the shampoo, apply the conditioner to the length of hair and keep it for around 2-3mins and no longer than that. Make sure the conditioner doesn’t slips onto the scalp and gets rinsed out properly after the shampoo.

7. Leave in Serum

This is the last step but I would call it optional. Since I have curly and dry hair, I always apply a leave in serum to make it manageable and frizz free but it is completely up to you. Also, I would not advise this step if you have thin and flat hair because it may weigh the hair down as the hair has already been conditioned since step 1.

These are the ways you can easily carry on the hair spa at home without shelling big bucks and also at our own convenience.

Editor’s Note: Absolutely loved this post Sanchita. This is the ideal procedure, wish I was not that lazy and time crunched :/ But even once a week or once in 2 weeks, following this routine would be amazing.

Lever Ayush Therapy: Nature’s Healing Secrets

Lever Ayush Therapy: Nature’s Healing Secrets

Hi guys,

I love using natural, organic products but nothing beats the ayurvedic products following the age old recipes and made with pure plant extracts and oils. For any of your skin, hair or body problems with which you have been struggling for days and tried it all, go back to the ‘Dadime Ke Nushke’ and you will see the results guaranteed!

Today we face a lot of problems due to our current modern lifestyle. Late working hours, meeting deadlines, being on our computers and cell phones almost 18 hours a day, it all takes a toll on the body. The results being hair loss, premature hair greying, dark circles, head aches, shoulder pain, back pain, water retention, lack of stamina, etc.

I am glad brands are going back to ayurvedic formulations and bringing products which are all natural and ayurveda has never failed in showing results. We have ayurvedic solutions for our skin/hair problems and pain management now. One such brand being Lever Ayush.

About Lever Ayush: Rapid urbanization, booming economy, new job opportunities and high disposable incomes in India have paved way for an affluent lifestyle. But they also put you at the risk of lifestyle diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, heart diseases etc. Through Ayush, this new generation of Indians can rediscover everyday health and vitality through customized Ayurvedic solutions.

LEVER Ayush Therapy range comes with some of nature’s healing secrets discovered by Ayurveda, almost 5000 years ago!

Lever Ayush range consists of products for skin, hair and pain management. They are based on authentic Ayurvedic formulations, where the rarest natural ingredients are distilled into the most effective Ayurvedic recipes. Lever Ayush introduces a range of personal care products that are specifically designed to solve skin and hair problems borne by the pressures of a modern day lifestyle.

Products Available:

HAIRCARE

Lever Ayush Bhringamalakadi Tailam

The oil serves the purpose of preventing premature greying and ensures that your hair grows long and strong for years to come. With carefully selected ingredients such as cow’s milk, Yashtimadhu, Bhringaraj, Til oil and amla juice, the oil not only prevents premature greying but assures that your hair gets its natural colour back.

Price: Rs. 599

Lever Ayush Hair Poshak Oil

When an individual is stressed, the body produces increased levels of testosterone which gets converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This DHT will interrupt the hair growth cycle because it restricts the blood supply to your hair follicles which means the amount of nutritional intake reduces, leading to the weakening of hair and therefore breakage. The Lever Ayush Hair Poshak Oil is a unique combination of Ayurvedic ingredients like amla, rosemary, til oil and neem. Designed to fight and reduce hair fall in three weeks, this oil comes with dual advantages. It prevents breakage and simultaneously fights dandruff, keeping your hair well-nourished.

Price: Rs. 249

Lever Ayush Keyur Poshak Shampoo

The word ‘Keyur’ is used in religious books to describe the lustrous, thick hair of various deities. ‘Keshya’ means that which gives bountiful, black and lustrous hair. The best ‘Keshya’ herbs have been selected to formulate Keyur Poshak Shampoo. It helps to get back the lost shine in your hair and simultaneously nourishes, strengthens and conditions your hair too. The ingredients that make up this shampoo include Amla, Bhringaraj, Yashtimadhu and Henna – all helping to keep your hair shiny, bouncy and strong.

Price: Rs. 310/-

Lever Ayush Dandruff Naashak Shampoo

Consisting of ingredients such as amla, neem, tulsi, rosemary, henna and shikakai, the shampoo cleanses and conditions your hair with its anti-microbial and cooling properties. With its triple benefits of being anti-dandruff, cleansing and strengthening, Lever Ayush Dandruff Nashak shampoo is all you need to fight this problem without going in for any expensive treatments.

Price: Rs. 325/-

PAIN RELIEF

Lever Ayush Pain Naashak Cream

Lever Ayush Pain Naashak cream has been created on the lines of Ayurveda which recognizes that pain can occur in different parts of the body. This can be broadly categorized as ‘Sandhishool’ (joint pain) and ‘Katigraha’ (backache). This cream contains carefully chosen ingredients such as ‘shulahar dravyas’ like lavang, pudinah and gandhapura, which effectively relieve pain, tenderness and swelling, in case of sprains, strains and even in cases of osteoarthritis. Lever Ayush Pain Naashak cream is an effective analgesic cream that will give a soothing relief from different physical pains.

Price: Rs. 119/-

Lever Ayush Narayana Tailam

The best medicine for ‘Vata’ disorders according to Ayurveda is regular ‘Abhyanga’ (external application) with oil. The Lever Ayush Narayana Tailam has 32 ingredients known for its pain relief solutions. The oil is made solely of Ayurvedic solutions using taila pak vidhi (method of processing medicated oils) that can cure muscle and joint aches even in the case of osteoarthritis.

Price: Rs. 599/-

Ayush Headache Naashak Roll-On

It includes wintergreen oil, lemongrass oil, eucalyptus oil, menthol, clove oil and camphor. A combination of these products works on relieving congestion which is often the reason for headaches. It also works towards easing out respiratory issues and colds. The product works effortlessly against headaches, whether they are caused due to congestion, sinusitis or stress on the eyes – within 15 minutes. A must have in your daily bag.

Price: Rs. 199/-

SKINCARE

Lever Ayush Suvarna Poshak Cream

The Lever Ayush Suvarna Poshak Cream is an excellent supplement for your skin. Ayurveda recommends ‘Varnya Dravyas’ (promoters of complexion) for enhancing natural complexion and providing glow. Brimming with natural ingredients, the cream is concocted with healthy skin in mind. With herbs like ‘Rasayani’ and ‘Tirit’, it restores the lustre in your skin, enhances your natural complexion, smoothens out wrinkles and makes your skin young and healthy from within. The cream also helps fight blemishes and dullness and keeps your skin soft and deeply nourished.

Price: Rs. 210/-

The products are divided into Doshas i.e. Vata/Pitta/Kapha and Gunas/Karmas i.e Poshak (Grow), Nashak (Destroy) and Rakshak (Protect). Each and every product has Dosha and Guna mentioned on it. For e.g. these three hair products here, the Bhringamalakadi Tailam is Rakshak i.e. it prevents hair from greying, Hair Poshak Oil is obviously Poshak i.e it helps in growth and reduces hair fall and breakage and Dandruff Naashak Shampoo is again as the name suggests Nashak i.e destroy dandruff.

I like how they come in a cloth bag packaging. I have used the Hair Poshak oil twice yet and really liked it, I will use it a few more times before reviewing it. It has a blend of amla, rosemary, til oil and neem which helps in reducing hair fall and dandruff and also strengthens the hair follicles. Amla and sesame oil also help in conditioning hair and reduce split ends. When I used the Hair Poshak Oil before shampooing, hair was much more softer and there was reduction in hair fall while washing them too.

I loved the Headache Nashak Roll-On, if you follow me on twitter or Snapchat (@bhumika_t), you know I am suffering from terrible cold from the past few days and every night I get this unbearable headache, I tried this roll-on and I felt so much better. This is definitely going to be a part of my hand bag now. If you suffer from congestion, cold or frequent headaches coz of that, this is a must buy for you!

I tried the Dandruff Nashak Shampoo too, I use it once a week and have used it twice till now and already see the difference. It has rosemary oil as one of the ingredients which is anti fungal and anti bacterial and one of the few essential oils which help combat dandruff.

The pricing is pretty reasonable for Ayurvedic products coz all the natural and organic products are priced a little higher these days as they can’t and do not generally use the cheaper ingredients and all the blend of herbs and oils turns out to be a little expensive. All the Lever Ayush products are available online on Amazon India

I only did not like the fact that the complete ingredient list is missing, except for the Headache Nashak Roll-On, other products do not have ingredients mentioned.

Overall, I would say I am glad Lever Ayush has come up with products with age-old ayurvedic formulations. I am really looking forward to try the Narayana Tailam for my back aches and Suvarna Poshak cream.

Have you heard of Lever Ayush products? Tried any?

Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil Review

Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil Review

Gorgeous hair is best maintained by the age-old wondrous coconut oil. However, no matter what your hair type, texture, colour or length, you may fall prey to hair problems, at some point in their life. Are you battling hair fall, dandruff, split ends and more? Pollution, stress levels, sun, erratic lifestyles, inadequate diets, etc., could be playing havoc on your hair. While you can’t change what has been done, maybe it’s time to sit, up, take notice and use something extra. Make repairs with Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut + + Hair Oil and make hair damage a thing of the past!

Dabur Vatika Coconut Oil Key Ingredients: Say goodbye to all your hair problems. Switch to Vatika!

3 hair problems, 1 solution. With the triple power of Amla, Henna and lemon, Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil, saves your hair from problems like dandruff, split ends and hair fall, thereby giving it volume and shine that make your tresses gorgeous!

MRP: Rs.84/- for 180ml (150ml + 20% extra free)

Benefits of Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil:

  • It helps in deep conditioning your scalp
  • Amla promotes hair growth
  • Coconut is very nourishing and hydrates and nourishes even the hair follicles
  • Amla helps prevent hair greying
  • Lemon is very good to keep dandruff at bay
  • Coconut oil being rich and hydrating, also helps get rid of split ends
  • Coconut helps retain moisture in the hair & also works on repairing damaged hair
  • Coconut oil is a natural detangler for hair
  • Henna also helps retain hair colour and keep it rich and dark

And there are numerous other benefits of Coconut alone, much more of Henna, Amla and Lemon infused together. In monsoons, if I get wet in the rains, the first thing that gets affected is my hair. If I do not immediately oil my hair and wash them, the texture changes and I even face dandruff issues coz of the rain water. In winters, dandruff is the main issue always. I am glad the Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair oil has lemon which is what I mostly use for my dandruff, this is helping me keep dandruff at bay.

How I use it: I either keep oil in my hair overnight or do use it an hour before shampooing, and it makes a huge difference. Whenever I have oiled my hair before shampooing, the hair is super smooth and more softer with less frizz than just alone shampooing. Overnight oiling is more beneficial, but if forgot or do not like the oil on your hair overnight, at least try and use it an hour before shampooing.

It takes an extra wash to remove the oil, but then it’s so worth it. Fortunately, Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Oil is not that sticky and very light in texture, it would not make your look like an oil slick or give you that sticky feeling when you touch your hair.

I would say it is one stop for all your hair problems from hair breakage, split ends, greying , dandruff, etc. Use this twice a week on a continuous basis and you will definitely see a lot of improvement in your hair.

It is very economical price wise too, plus I got 20% extra 😀 I love the light smell too, it is not over powering or bothering.

This is my current favourite hair oil. I definitely recommend trying it out.

Parachute Advansed #MomWasAlwaysRight Contest

Parachute Advansed #MomWasAlwaysRight Contest

Hi Guys,

I am back with a contest! First of all, how many of you feel our moms were always right and we should have listened to them more often 😀 :raises hand slowly: I think majority 😉

Let me share a few things today which my mom always told me to do, and I never did :p And now I feel, she was so right, I wish I had listened to her before.

  • Don’t binge on junk food

Well, I would not have to exercise later on, if I had listened to her.

  • Oil your hair more often,not only for the hair health but also to de-stress

Mom used to regularly oil my hair when I was in school and I had the best hair then, well like all, I reduced the frequency of oiling my hair once I entered college and then slowly it went down and down to nil. I should start oiling my hair again, miss my old awesome hair. Also the head massage my mom gave while oiling my hair was so so de-stressing.

  • Use natural stuff like curd,honey,besan,etc., for your skin

We all run after these face packs,face scrubs,face washes and what not and after using them for years, we suddenly realise that natural products are actually the safest and best. We should have listened to our moms before,right.

  • Early to bed,early to rise

Those late nights throughout our teens have changed our sleeping pattern and the weekends too, so getting up on weekdays for office has been such a pain for most of us :p

  • A penny saved is penny earned

Oh ya, the savings! Let’s not even talk about it, right :p Mom was always so right on saving and not spending like crazy.

As I mentioned in the previous post, I have not been oiling my hair much from the last one year or so and does the need some nourishment as it has also turned drier.

Tamper proof flip cap

I got to try this new Dabur Amla Hair Oil. I like the new packaging and the flip cap which shuts tight, does not spill and dispenses only the desired quantity. It has that typical amla oil smell, but does not bother me much and a light green tint.

With the change of weather and water, my scalp is super itchy these days. I really needed something to soothe the scalp and reduce the itchiness and flakiness. It did exactly that and the scalp feels so much better.

Its not very sticky and heavy and does not give the chip chip feel. I did not notice longer or thicker hair as such, coz I anyways have a good length of hair and it grows quickly and also coz the time period is still too less to conclude that. Stronger yes, also coz of less irritation to the scalp and less dandruff issues in winters, if oiled regularly.

But one needs to use it continuously to see results. Amla also helps people with premature greying of hair. Those who use amla oil regularly from a young age still have rich,dark hair in their old age. (Have seen quite a few examples)

I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Rating: 3.75/5

Pantene Pro-Vitamin Oil

Step Out In Style with the All New Pantene Pro-Vitamin Oil

Get the 24 – hour nourishment of the

 non-sticky hair oil inspite of staying outdoors!

v  The new Pantene Pro-Vitamin Hair Oil instilled

with an almond oil formula which gives your hair 24-hour nourishment

v   Its non-sticky  nourishing quality  infuses the hair with strength and prevents hair fall

Gone are the days when one would refrain from stepping out of the house with the fright of embarrassment caused by oily hair. Pantene, for the first, launches a Pro-Vitamin Hair Oil instilled with an almond oil formula which gives your hair 24-hour nourishment, infusing it with strength and thereby, preventing hair fall. More importantly, its an amalgamation of completely non-sticky and nourishing qualities, making it an ideal oil meant for outdoors – almost like a fashion accessory, you’d love to flaunt without any embarrassment! Apart from the wide gamut of benefits it lends your hair with, the oil is a perfect accomplice for styling, strengthening, nourishing and reaping the benefits of the advanced Pro-V almond oil formula all at the same time.

“Pantene’s Pro-V Hair Oil is not just any ordinary oil that you apply, but one that enhances your look and ups your fashion quotient; Oil that you can step out with because it’s stickiness is barely noticeable,” says face of Pantene, Shilpa Shetty.

The key behind the efficacy of all Pantene products lies in Pro-Vitamin B5, otherwise known as Panthenol, which has remarkable qualities to improve and maintain healthy hair, its strength and elasticity. Studies have revealed that Pro-Vitamins penetrate deep into the cortex of each hair strand. The two ingredients that make-up Pantene’s Pro-Vitamin complex – Panthenol and Panthenyl Ethyl Ether – are carefully coupled in the formulation to restore health and shine from within.

Explains Pantene Hair Expert Coleen Khan, “I personally am of the opinion that oiling is extremely beneficial for your hair but I have seen many girls refrain from oiling due to the stickiness. Almond oil in particular has exceptional benefits! Being a rich source of magnesium it works wonders in preventing hair fall. What’s more, Pantene’s Pro-V oil promises to nourish your hair and prevent the stickiness altogether!”
