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.

Have you tried these BBLUNT products?

Pantene Pro-V All Day Smooth Miracle Water Review

By Lovleen

Hello beauties,

This my very first review out here and I’m super excited! And the product that I’m going to review is Pantene Pro-V All Day Smooth Miracle Water. Today this product will complete a month in my house and I’m pretty happy about that, because I never thought that such a small bottle would come a long way. Still I have about ½ of the product left in the bottle, which definitely says a lot about its value for money features.

Product Description: Silky, smooth and shiny hair; these are the three things to die for. I know that there are a plethora of products that claims to give you the best of the three, yet how many stand upto it? Talking about this product well, it is a nice water-like serum that is defined as miracle water! The product guarantees to give you bouncy, shiny and silky hair which would last all day long.

Directions for Use: Just take about 1-2 pumps as per your requirements and evenly rub it in your fingers. Then spread your hands across damp or dried hair to get the best results. Never rinse the product as it is a leave on treatment.

Product Quantity and Price: Rs. 159 for 100ml

Shelf Life: 2 years!

Packaging: The product comes in a pump bottle pack which is quite easy to use. It pumps out just the right amount of serum which avoids over application or wastage too. In addition to that the transparent plastic cap and the pump lock system protects the serum.
Texture: The texture of the serum is perfect; it is neither too runny nor to thick. This is why applying it on the hair is a cakewalk. Even when I’m am in a hurry I just pump the bottle twice and get the adequate amount needed to cover my hair, so basically it’s as simple as it can get!

Key Ingredients: The product contains Water, Mineral Oil, Betaine, Isparaffin, Benzyl Alcohol, Fragrance, Panthenol, Silk extracts, Jojoba extracts, Seed Oil, Hexyl Cinnamal, Laureth-7, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloydimethyltaurate, Panthenyl Ethyl and Methylisothiazolinone

My Experience with Pantene Pro-V All Day Smooth Miracle Water

I’m a workaholic with no time to take care of my hair, so with such a tight schedule I really wanted something which would magically work on my hair, so that all the hard work will be done by the product. And this search came to an end with Pantene Pro-V All Day Smooth Miracle Water. Just as the name of this product, it works miraculously on my hair helping me to maintain its vibrancy and shine. It’s been almost two months that I’m using it and yes I have nothing to complain at all.

Pros:

Applying the product is quite easy
The packaging and pump tube is excellent
Love the smell and texture of the product
Can be applied on both damp and dry hair
Leaves the hair smooth and silky after application
Value for money because 100ml will go more than two months!
Travel friendly too, as I carry it almost everywhere for giving a finishing touch to my hair

Cons:

It does take time to work on too dry and frizzy hair
Contains mineral oil
Availability

Rating: 4/5 (You have to be patient for its magical results, so it loses 1 point for the delayed results)

Would I Recommend This Product To You? Why not try it as it is one of my all time favorite serum which suits almost any hair type.

Editor’s Note: How come I had never seen it yet?! Looks promising, I would love to try this out too. Nice review Lovleen 🙂

Streax Pro Lovely Hair Argan Secrets Serum Review

Streax Pro Lovely Hair Argan Secrets Serum Review

What the Company claims: A complex blend of essential oil, this moisturizing serum helps to replenish and restore dry and frizzy hair. Designed to provide an expert solution to everyday hair problems, this professional serum is aided with the rich benefit of Argan. Non greasy and greatly effective, the serum leaves hair soft and supremely conditioned, allowing you to let down your hair anytime, anywhere.

Claims & Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.349/- for 45ml

I like using hair serums as it controls most of the frizz especially in monsoons since hair is more frizzy due to the moisture and humidity (A forever story in Mumbai anyways)

I had not heard about Streax serums before, as hair color was always I associated it with. So, when I got to try this, I was all in, also coz I love Argan Oil.

It comes in a small dark tinted glass bottle with a white pump packaging and a small plastic clear cap to cover the white pump dispensor.

You just need two pumps of it and its more than enough. I love using it on my ‘just washed’ damp hair. Texture is slightly on the stickier side since its more ‘oil like’ than a serum. But then, I feel this is the reason, it controls frizz like nobody’s business !

Since its heavier, you just rub the serum in your hands and take thick strands of hair and press your hand against the strands, as if you coating them. You would still be left with some product even after covering entire portion of hair, as its just like touching them and not rubbing it on.

I love how my hair feels smoother and there is no frizz at all, after using this. It smells good too, not completely argan but slightly sweet coz of the added perfume probably.

Its a blend of argan, almond, walnut oil and Vitamin E. It does have silicones too, but it does not contain mineral oil or parabens. I guess silicones is something which is unavoidable in serums as that creates a layer on the hair to protect from moisture and not get frizzy.

I used it on both wet and dry hair. And IMO, I did not like using it on dry hair since its on the stickier side, it does not settle well on dry hair. Whereas it blended in, on wet/damp hair.

Overall, I would say I really loved it. Now its my staple after every hair wash. And since, you do not need much, the 45ml bottle is going to last long. Turns out economical at Rs.349/- even though its slightly higher priced than other serums. And I would prefer something like this with a blend of oils, rather than plain serums with just silicones. Highly recommended.
