My Current Haircare Regime

Hi guys,

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.

MRP: Rs.600/- for 400ml (Buy HERE)

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.

MRP: Rs.400/- for 200g (Buy HERE)

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.

MRP: Rs.500/- (Buy HERE)

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.

MoroccanOil Moisture Repair Shampoo, Conditioner Review

MoroccanOil Moisture Repair Shampoo, Conditioner Review

Hi guys, I had this Moisture Repair Range since a long time but never really got to use it. Since this range is meant for dry and damaged hair, I thought the winters would be the perfect time to use it.

MoroccanOil products are sulphate, phosphate and paraben free and Color Safe.

What the Company claims: Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner are for hair that has been weakened or damaged by color, chemical processing or heat styling. They restore hair by bathing it in a highly concentrated formula rich in antioxidant argan oil, reconstructive keratin and fatty acids. Both products restore elasticity, moisture and manageability. The formulas are free of sulfates, phosphates and parabens, so they’re safer for the environment and won’t dry, fade or strip color-treated hair.

Directions:

To Use the Shampoo: Because Moisture Repair Shampoo uses a highly concentrated, water-loving formula, begin by using plenty of water to activate the shampoo into a rich, luxurious lather. Add more water if necessary. Massage through hair and scalp. Rinse and follow with Moisture Repair Conditioner.

To Use the Conditioner: Gently squeeze excess water from hair and apply a small amount of the highly concentrated conditioner from roots to ends. Leave in for 1–2 minutes. Rinse well.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.1395/- for 250ml (BUY HERE)

To start with, I love the blue and white round packaging, the color is quite bright. It has a flip cap and the shampoo being blue and conditioner being white, it’s easy to distinguish.

It has an off white tint and is quite runny. It foams and cleanses the hair well, but if you have oiled your hair, you will need to shampoo twice. Also as they have mentioned in the directions above, it does need a wet base and lot of water to foam up. Since I wash my hair twice a week, I do need to shampoo twice to cleanse my hair well.

Conditioner

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.1395/- for 250ml (BUY HERE)

The conditioner is thick and creamy and off white in color. It is quite rich in texture, it does hydrate the lower half and ends where it is applied, really well. Also it is easy to wash off.

Hair is soft, smooth and frizz free. No trace of dryness at all.

Both the shampoo and conditioner have a slight argan oil kind of smell, not very pleasant but kind of ok. It’s quite a rich range and even though I used it for winters, it is still rich for me. I have normal hair which are straight to wavy, they are not very dry or voluminous and neither damaged. I do not use heat, color, chemicals on my hair, so my hair is quite healthy and for my hair, this range was over rich. It weighed down my hair and also my hair looked oily 2 days post washing, which does not usually happen. My hair stays well behaved for 3 days post washing, sometimes even 4. (Perhaps I should also try the ‘Reverse Shampoo’ technique with this, do you guys know about it? Would you like a blog post?)

I loved the ingredients, it has argan oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, chamomile leaf extract, lavender extract, rosemary oil, castor oil, glycerine and even panthenol and hydrolyzed keratin. It has all the ‘good things’ needed for the hair. It is the best thing for dry and damaged hair coz the keratin and panthenol along with all the oils will deeply repair the damage and also control the volume and frizz.

For me since I do not have dry or damaged hair, I would skip this, maybe I would use this once a month or so or when I have travelled a lot or my hair has gone through some heat. I would love to try their other Hydrating Range. For now, I have switched back to Wella Pro Elements Range.

Moroccanoil is pricey and also available at selected salons, but now you can get it online on Amazon too. But being all chemical and sulphate free, it is perfect for cysteine, rebonded, colored hair or that has gone through any chemical procedure. And while being color and treatment safe, it will also repair, nourish and hydrate at the same time. Definitely recommend this range for dry, damaged and treated hair.

TRESemmé Ionic Strength Range Shampoo, Conditioner Review

TRESemmé Ionic Strength Range Shampoo, Conditioner Review

Hi guys,

So after I finished using the Dove Oxygen Moisture Range, I tried this new TRESemme Ionic Strength Range and here is my review.

What the Company claims:  This innovative range is inspired from salon treatments that “reconstruct”and “repair” hair that has been exposed to styling and in the process,weakened and damaged. The Advanced IONIC Complex in this new range nourishes the hair and forms a protective shield, allowing it to withstand the potential damage due to heat styling tools and frequent brushing, while also reinforcing hair’s natural strength. Gentle enough for daily use, TRESemméIonic Strength ensures your hair is strong and beautifully soft making it manageable, like you have just stepped out of a salon.

How does the product work?

Using an electric appliance on your hair can damage it. Damaged hair has more negative charge. TRESemmé Ionic Strength technology with ionic complex contains positively charged ingredients which get attracted to the negatively charged damaged hair, making it smoother. When used with Ionic Strength conditioner it helps restore and nourish your hair, reinforcing its natural protection to damage.

MRP: TRESemmé Ionic Strength Shampoo 190ml Rs. 185, 580ml Rs. 415

TRESemmé Ionic Strength Conditioner 85ml Rs. 94,  190ml Rs. 185

Ingredients Shampoo:

Ingredients Conditioner:

It comes in the trademark TRESemme black and white packaging with a press button flip to open and shut. Also it has the same runny white shampoo and a thick white conditioner as the other TRESemme ranges. Smells also almost the same. My favourite TRESemme Range was the Split End Remedy one, that reminds me it’s been ages I have not used that and should try that again soon!

The shampoo foams amazingly well and cleans your scalp and hair nicely, it is very hydrating and moisturising, so it actually would hydrate the dry, damaged hair as claimed. I don’t have dry hair and neither is my hair chemically treated or colored, so I did not see much of a difference in that. But it definitely left my hair softer and smoother, only thing being since my hair is not dry, rich shampoos kind of weigh my hair down and I do not get volume and bounce.

I love volume in my hair and the Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo actually used to give me amazing volume, since I used this shampoo directly after Dove, it was a straight comparision in my head and that is the only thing I don’t really like in this shampoo. However the same thing is a boon for dry, damaged hair.

Conditioner is rich and hydrating again, it untangles all the knots left while washing the hair and makes your fingers slide through the hair easily. I do like rich conditioners especially for the end parts of the hair and I quite like this.

At Rs.185/- it is slightly expensive than other shampoos and conditioners, but the difference is not much. I like it when brand has different sizes available and the smaller ones are perfect for travel.

Overall I would say, if you have dry, damaged hair, use a lot of heat, coloring, etc, this range will work really well on your hair. However, if your hair is normal, not very dry and you are not into coloring or heat, I would suggest using the Dove Oxygen Moisture Range. If I have to choose one for myself, I would go with Dove. I like this range but it is not my favourite

Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo, Conditioner Review

Hi guys,

So Dove has launched new ‘Nutritive Solutions’ (called ‘Advanced Series’ in US) and Oxygen Moisture is their first launch as a part of it.

What the Company claims: The new Dove Oxygen Moisture range comes with an advanced solution that gives your hair the balance of moisture and volume. This new range with innovative Oxyfusion Technology can put an end to your daily dilemma, leaving you with hair that is beautifully nourished, smoother and looks 95% thicker.

Dove Oxygen Moisture shampoo is a transparent, lightweight formula comprising of oxyfused moisture ingredients that instantly disperse on the hair. This formula helps to gently cleanse and nourish hair, leaving it beautifully bouncy, and full of natural volume.

Enriched with the Oxyfusion technology, the Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner delicately moisturizes dry and dull hair, restores smoothness and leaves hair looking thicker. With the new Dove Oxygen Moisture, you no longer need to choose between well moisturized hair and natural volume. Oxyfusion technology for Dove promises you both! So leave your hair worries aside, and breathe life into dry, dull hair

Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo

Directions to use:

1. Apply shampoo through wet hair. Lather and rinse thoroughly.

2. For beautifully smooth and bouncy hair follow it up with New Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner

MRP:  Rs.83/80 ml, Rs. 176/180 ml, Rs. 292/340 ml (Buy Dove Shampoo)

Ingredients:

Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner

Directions to use:

1. After shampooing, apply along the lengths of wet hair, focusing on ends.

2. Keep for 1-3 minutes and rinse off thoroughly.

3. Use conditioner every time you shampoo for beautiful, smoother hair

MRP: Rs.91/80 ml. Rs. 194/180 ml (Buy Dove Conditioner)

Ingredients:

I have already shared a mini review of this in my August favourites YouTube video HERE. I have been using it since more than a month now. This is the first Dove shampoo that is in transparent, gel form. The packaging of  both the shampoo and conditioner is like the usual Dove range with a flip top cap. This one is white and blue.

Also the transparent gel like formula of the shampoo has a slight blue tint. The conditioner is white and creamy and rich like usual conditioners.

Now I have used Dove quite a lot and it has always worked for me, but many told me Dove gives them major hairfall. The only reason I see is that the Dove shampoos were always very rich and if someone has thin or fragile hear prone to breakage, the richness of the shampoo would be weighing down the hair causing breakage. I have never experienced any hairfall with any of the Dove ranges though. But this range is perfect for all of you did not like the previous ranges, coz this is very light and not that rich.

This shampoo will not weigh your hair down and will not give any hairfall. In fact I love the way it cleanses thoroughly and gives a nice bounce and volume to the hair. The conditioner is rich though but if you apply it only towards the ends, it should work. And the hair will retain the bounce.

I love the fresh smell of both the shampoo and conditioner. My hair is well behaved from the time I have been using this combination. There have been no frizz issues and I get the desired volume and bounce too with the smoothness of course.

Sorry I am unable to find the swatch pics in the folder, would update later.

I am happy with the price point too, and these smaller bottles are good to carry for a trip too.

Overall, I am loving this range and definitely recommend giving it a shot.

L’Oreal Professionnel Hair Spa Deep Nourishing Shampoo,Conditioner Review

What the Company claims: L’Oreal Professionnel’s HAIR SPA helps heal your hair from root to tip, so that your hair looks beautiful inside and out. Hair Spa, is now infused with the soothing and calming Water Lily, to give you an even more relaxing and restorative experience. Known for its hydrating and therapeutic properties, Water lily helps relieve pressure, for a soothing experience.

MRP:

Hair Spa Deep nourishing shampoo: Rs. 400/- for 230ml

Hair Spa Deep nourishing conditioner: Rs. 400/- for 200ml

Shampoo claims and Directions to use:

Shampoo Ingredients:

Conditioner claims and Directions to use:

Conditioner Ingredients:

L’Oreal Professionnel Hair Spa comes in two variants: Deep Nourishing and a Detox range. This Deep Nourishing range has Water Lily extracts and is meant for dry hair and the Detox one is infused with tea tree oil for people with oily scalp and dandruff issues.

I have been using this L’Oreal Professionnel Hair Spa Deep Nourishing Range since 3 weeks now. I had a lot of expectations from this range after trying out and falling in love with the Absolut Repair Lipidium Range.

I love the bright blue packaging with the grey cap, it is very nice to look at and you can find out your shampoo from the lot in the bathroom :p The shampoo has a flip cap packaging and comes in this long,slender bottle and the conditioner comes in a tube packaging with a screw cap.

The shampoo is off white in color and runny in form, the conditioner is white and thicker. Both smell very refreshing,very close to soft, floral,water lily. A mix of aquatic and floral, I love the smell!

The shampoo foams really well and gets rid of all the oil and dirt in the hair within one wash. Quite impressed here. The hair is completely clean in one wash. If you have oily scalp, you will really like this. Even though this range is meant for dry skin, it is not heavy and creamy kind but very light.

The conditioner is hydrating but not very heavy,it won’t weigh down your hair. It is not the most hydrating conditioner out there, but does a decent job for someone with normal to dry hair, and would work perfectly for oily hair too. If you have very dry hair or prefer a heavy conditioner, then you would need something extra.

Hair remains soft,smooth and frizz free with this range for 2 days untill you wash next. There is no oiliness and no dryness. If you have drier ends, you will need to use a serum on the ends. Even though its meant for dry hair, it is not the deep hydrating kind, and that makes this range perfect for summers.

Price wise, they are decently priced and quite economical for the quantity. The bottles are huge and not travel friendly though. Also, the availability of the Professionnel range is an issue, and is only available on selected online sites or in salons.

Only downside is it has SLS and silicones, also I see ‘Mineral Oil’ 3rd in the Ingredients list in the Conditioner which I am not too pleased with.

Overall, I would say this range is good for summers and would work for all kinds of hair from oily to dry. It cleanses the scalp well and leaves the hair soft, smooth and frizz free. It is mild enough for everyday use too. If you have very dry hair, I would recommend the L’Oreal Professionnel Absolut Repair Lipidium Range. I would prefer using this range for summers and the Absolut Range for winters. If you have chemically treated or colored hair, I wouldn’t advise using this as it has SLS.

I love the red and white packaging. The first can shaped packaging shampoo I own, its different. Though not very travel friendly coz of the size.

Entire range is white in color and smells nice like a salon treatment does. The shampoo is runny but foams well. Cleanses scalp amazingly well, gets rid of all the dirt and grime. It is not drying and detangles hair. Its perfect for daily use too.

Conditioner is slightly runny. I like my conditioners rich and creamy. I did not find the conditioner rich or hydrating enough. My ends need more hydration and runny,liquid type conditioners do not work for me, This conditioner might work for someone with oily hair and scalp.

Coming to the hair mask, its the best in this range! Its thick, rich and creamy. It hydrates the hair really well with no heaviness. Hair does not weigh down. It is like a deep conditioning spa at home. I use it once a week or so coz it requires extra time and I am usually late and running :p But still whenever I use it, hair is super soft and smooth. No frizz or weighing down.

Overall, I would say I loved the shampoo and mask in this range. I did not like the conditioner much and when I use the three together, the results are amazing coz the last thing is the mask.

Ingredients: Glycerin & Provitamin B5

Specially created for Indian hair with a unique colour protect formula.

Specially created for Indian hair with a unique colour protect formula.

Ingredients List:

MRP: Rs.375/- for 200g (Buy online HERE)

They have four different ranges in shampoo and conditioner:

  • Born Again- For Stressed Hair
  • Full on Volume- For Fine Hair
  • Perfect Balance- For Normal to Dry Hair
  • Intense Moisture- For Seriously Dry Hair

I got recommended the Perfect Balance in Shampoo and Intense Moisture in Conditioner after my hair consultation.

Shampoo and Conditioner are a part of Prep. They also have dry shampoo, foams and other styling products as a part of Style.

I have been using this from quite some time now. To start with, I love the packaging! So colorful and the shapes are fun too! Pump packaging in shampoos are very convenient, though not good for travel. You can pump it out in a small bottle for travelling. And the conditioner has a flip cap packaging.

Both are white in color and have a fresh smell. Shampoo is a little runny and does not foam too much but decent enough.

Shampoo cleanses the hair thoroughly well in one wash and hair does not feel dry after cleansing, it maintains the Ph balanace as claimed.

Conditioner is rich and creamy and since I have drier ends, its perfect for them.

Hair had less tangles while being washed. It gave volume and bounce to the hair. Hair was smoother with less frizz. But it does not give a sleek look or shine, I was not even expecting that.

It does not weigh the hair down. And is a normal no fuss shampoo that cleanses the hair thoroughly while maintaining the moisture balance. Hair is neither oily nor dry and stays so for 2 days. Its safe and light enough to use everyday too.

Conditioner is rich and creamy and moisturises the ends, but still did not weigh the hair down. Neither made it oily or greasy.

Both the shampoo and conditioner are decent enough and good for everyday use. They do not claim tall things. It is what you expect from a normal shampoo and conditioner.

Only availability is an issue. Its either available at BBLUNT salons or online.

It does not have SLS but does have SLES,it does not foam much, so mild enough to cleanse your hair and get rid of the dirt and grease.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo,Conditioner Review

What the Company claims: Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Range:  Enriched with the goodness of oils and fruit  vitamins,  Triple Nutrition nourishes and strengthens* the hair  from scalp,  through lengths to tips, leaving hair strong, nourished, shiny and manageable. This range has been specially developed for Indian women and has an exquisite fragrance. The conditioner can be applied on hair and scalp.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Strengthening Shampoo: Available in 80 ml for MRP Rs. 69, 175 ml for MRP Rs. 135, 340 ml for MRP Rs. 230, sachet:6.5ml for MRP Rs.3

 

Shampoo Ingredients:

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Strengthening Conditioner: Available in 80 ml for MRP Rs. 70, 175 ml for MRP Rs. 135,sachet: 7.5ml for MRP Rs.4 

Conditioner Ingredients:

Recently Alia Bhatt,being the new Garnier Fructis Brand Ambassador, launched this new Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner at Palladium Hotel.

It comes in a lovely yellow colored packaging. Triple Nutrition involves Coconut Oil, Almond Oil and  Olive Oil. I was never much impressed with Garnier Fructis range especially the conditioner, coz what I seek in a shampoo is smooth, silky, shiny hair which the previous range did not give me.  Though it helped in cleansing well and frizz control, straighter hair.

So I did not expect much from this range too, but reading the claims and ingredients, I did find it interesting.

L’Oreal Paris had launched the 6 Oil Nourish Range sometime back, and both L’Oreal and Garnier Fructis fall under the L’Oreal Paris group. So another oil based nourishing shampoo range from the same parent company, was intriguing.

The ingredients of both the ranges are quite similar. Even the 3 oils out of the 6 in L’Oreal 6 Oil Nourish Range are the same, with actually the slightly more expensive ones like Argan, Jojoba and Camelina being removed, when the price of both the ranges is exactly the same for the same quantity.

Though I would say its nice that its not completely oil based and has a blend of fruits like lemon, apple and sugarcane extracts too, which makes it lighter and perfect for oily scalp and hair.

Both the shampoo and conditioner are white in colour. Not too thick nor the runny kinds. I love the fresh lemon, apple smell!

Shampoo cleanses hair amazingly well in one single wash. If you have oiled your hair, you might need two washes. Conditioner is creamy but not rich. And not gel like which slips or falls from the hand, like in some brands. Its the perfect texture and moisturizing enough. Though they say you can use it on your scalp, I never use the conditioners on my scalp.

Leaves the hair softer, smoother and stays so for 2-3 days without the scalp feeling oily/greasy. And hair was tangle free. Though it does not help much in hairfall and dandruff, which I did not even expect it too.

If the shampoo/conditioner is not moisturizing enough, it may leave the hair dry, but if it is too rich and creamy, it weighs down oily scalp and hair, though works well for dry hair.

L’Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Range is richer and perfect for dry hair. This one is moisturizing yet light enough for normal to oily hair.

Overall, I liked it. Much beyond expectations being Garnier Fructis. The 1st ever Garnier Fructis range that worked so well for me.

Pantene Total Damage Care  Range comes in a pretty yellow and white packaging..though all Pantene range have the same packaging, I feel they should change some color somewhere to differentiate the range.

But, I like the fact that they are to be stored upside down. No struggle and waiting for the shampoo or conditioner to dispense when its half over as its already collected towards the opening. The mask also has a easy flip cap packaging in a tub.

The shampoo is pearly white in color and has a shine. Its runny and foams very well. Conditioner is a thick, white cream, and smooth and moisturising enough.

Hair feels smoother and softer after the first use itself. I have tried using the mask as a conditioner and skipping the conditioner and all three together too. I thought all three together would weigh down my hair, but I was so wrong.

Did not weigh down my hair at all. The mask is the hero of this range. Its the bomb.com

Intensive Hair Mask

I so love the mask. My hair feels amazingly soft and smooth with this range, especially with the mask. Though I use the mask only once a week. The conditioner is good too, but nothing beats the mask 😀

The best part, this mask is also available in Rs.10 sachet form, which is THE thing to carry, when you are travelling.

Though, it did not help much with dandruff,Does not even claim to. But, hair is manageable and non frizzy as claimed. And super soft and smooth. And, I believe the Keratin Damage Blockers technology is actually protecting my hair from damage and repairing it too.

Yes, I did see visible results in 14 days. You should absolutely take the 14 days challenge if yet not convinced.

I highly recommend this range !

TRESemme Split End Remedy Shampoo, Conditioner Review

What the Company claims: The new range incorporates Amino Vitamin Blend and helps to rescue split ends,resulting in – easier to style, more manageable, shiny and stronger hair.

TRESemmé Split Remedy Shampoo gently cleanses hair of oil and dirt while the TRESemmé Split Remedy Rinse Out Conditioner conditions hair strands leaving your hair look healthy and stay smooth. TRESemmé Split Remedy is a salon quality formulation with Amino-vitamin blend and helps rescue up to 96% of split ends with use of shampoo and conditioner in just three washes for healthy-looking, smooth hair ready to style.

How does it work?  The Innovative range contains Silicone, amino-vitamin blend and conditioning ingredients. All these ingredients from the formulation work in synergy to reduce split ends of hair fibre. The Silicone in the formulation has ability to form a lubricating layer on hair fibre. When hair is treated with shampoo and conditioner this layer helps to coat hair fibre to help bring hair fibres and split ends together. This layer also helps to reduce friction between 2 fibres and improve hair alignment.

This also includes blend of vitamins- Vit H, Vit B3, Vit C and Vit E along with lysine all known nourishing ingredients. The formula also contains poly electrolyte complex, oppositely charged polymers which are known to aid bringing split ends together.

I had been trying out the TRESemme Split End Remedy  Shampoo and Conditioner as I had mentioned HERE and had even shared on my facebook..from about 2-3 weeks..

And now its time to review them. First of, I am loving the bright green  colored packaging..the smell and feel of this shampoo and conditioner is totally professional salon kinds.

Both the shampoo and conditioner are white in color with normal texture..not too runny..have a nice fresh smell..that stays throughout the day! They have a easy flip cap packaging.

The shampoo lathers amazingly well..you do not need lots of it..it foams well, cleanses well..and gets rid of all the dirt and oil in a jiffy.

The conditioner is not the heavy moisturising kinds..but does its job well..I work it especially towards the end..since its meant to mend split ends..

If you read the ingredients carefully, you would see Keratin, Bition, Vitamin E, Vitamin B3, Vitamin C, etc which are all very good for the hair. It definitely gave me healthy looking, smooth hair as per their claims!

Now, I do not have much of an split ends problem, so cannot comment on the difference it makes. But what, I love about this range is, it is super light weight and gives my hair the shine and bounce..even the next day..I love how my hair feels after using this! No frizz, no weighing down, no greasiness. Only nice smelling, shiny, bouncy hair.

You can see my love for this range and how much my hair loves it.. my hair stays well behaved with this range.

I surely recommend this range..its my current Holy Grail! Highly recommend it.
