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

MRP: Rs.15000/- (Buy HERE)

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

Wella EIMI Style Range Root Shoot, Dry Me, Perfect Me Review

Hi guys,

Wella has introduced few new products in their EIMI Styling Range and I have been trying them since the past few days, here are my thoughts on it.

About the Wella EIMI Range: The EIMI range has a product to suit everyone’s individual style, whether they desire a volumizing boost, wild textures, dazzling shine or a smooth and silky finish. Expressing individuality has never seen so easy.  Individual style seekers can pick from 31 styling essentials including four new exciting products to create the style the best suits them – whether they want wild texture, dazzling shine, a volume boost or a smooth and sleek finish.

I love the matte grey and white cap packaging, with the EIMI written with different color on each product. The best part about this entire range is the fragrance, it smells absolutely amazing!!

NEW & HERO Dry Me dry shampoo for creating head turning volume and matte texture for any individual style. Those wanting to create some head turning volume and matte texture can try Dry Me, the new revolutionary dry shampoo.

HOLD LEVEL 2
Create volume and a manageable matte texture to achieve your look. Refresh your hair and absorb oil with this formula with Tapioca starch.

HOW TO USE:  Shake me, spray me, style me. Apply evenly on dry hair, leave in and brush through.

MRP: Rs.900/- for 180ml

It’s a normal, tall spray bottle and is very easy to use. It does not leave too much of white powder residue on the scalp unlike other dry shampoos. It creates an immediate bounce and volume. I am so in love with the way it smells.

I am very lazy when it comes to washing hair and dry shampoos are a staple for me. I have tried 6-7 different brands of dry shampoos and I can easily say, this is by far the best dry shampoo I have tried!

NEW & HERO Root Shot means you are just one shot away from high precision, weightless root lift.

HOLD LEVEL 2
Perfect root lift is only a shot away with this mousse designed for precision application.

HOW TO USE: Shake, shoot, volumise. Apply on damp hair directly on the roots and blow dry as you wish.

MRP: Rs.900/- for 200ml

If your hair is straight & flat like mine and you love volume in hair, this is the product for you! Just take some mousse on your palms and apply it on your roots on damp hair and blow dry as usual. You will immediately get insane amount of volume. Trust me, you will absolutely love the results. Since I am not a person who blow dries a lot, I don’t end up using this often. I mostly prefer air drying my hair.

NEW & HERO Perfect Me – this delicate lotion adds shine, repairs, moisturises and tame fly-aways. It creates deliciously smooth hair.

HOLD LEVEL 2
Create natural style with smoothness with this delicate lotion that adds shine, repairs, moisturizes, tames flyaways and protects from the heat of styling tools.

HOW TO USE: Pamper, perfect, protect. Caress a small amount of product on mid-lengths and ends on damp or dry hair for a luxurious feel. Style as you wish.

MRP: Rs.900/- for 100ml

A BB Lotion for your hair. You must have heard about a lot of BB creams for skin, this is a BB lotion for your hair, and rightfully so. It not only gives the hair a smooth and shiny look and controls frizz, it also repairs, moisturises and works as a heat protectant. What more does one need 😀 I absolutely love it and use it every time post washing my hair. The smell stays on for a long, long time and I can’t stop smelling my hair for the entire day :p

Dry Me and Root Shoot are meant to give you volume and Perfect Me is meant to give hair a sleek and smooth finish. I use the Dry Me dry shampoo a lot, followed by the Perfect Me and Root Shoot whenever I blow dry.

My favourite from all three is obviously the Dry Me, followed by the Perfect Me :p I have clicked pictures before and after using the dry shampoo, the results are for you all to see..

This is my flat 3-4th day unwashed hair and just look at the volume I got on the crown with the dry shampoo.

Also this range is quite economically priced at INR 900. Mostly all hair styling products fall in that price category and talking about quality, I am highly impressed with this range! Highly recommended!!

EIMI is available in all Wella Professional salons. Simply ask your Wella Professional stylist for more information.

L’Oreal Professionnel Tecni Art Extreme Splash Review

L’Oreal Professionnel Tecni Art Extreme Splash Review

What the Company claims: L’Oreal Professionnel Tecni Art Extreme Splash is a wet-look gel that provides long-lasting hold
Suitable for all hair types, the lightweight gel leaves a visible shine without excess residue
Create a range of hair styles with definition and ultimate precision

Inspired by the explosion of wet looks on runways and red carpets, L’Oréal Professionnel creates Extreme Splash– an elastic-hold, wet look gelée for an ultra-sleek, yet supple effect that lasts, even in extreme conditions. Its revolutionary unbreakable technology includes a mix of high-fixing, texturizing polymers and glycerin. It can be used on dry or damp and on any length. Extreme Splash is ideal to create wet looks – from a slicked back, after-pool look to the wet look ballerina bun, or even dual-textured styling effects.

The New Limited Edition Extreme Splash Gelée from L’Oréal Professionnel is a pliable, flexible and high-shine gelée , ideal for creating an extreme wet, slicked-back look, for all hair lengths and types.

•Strong hold gelée – Force 4
•Extreme shine finish
•Pliable and flexible formula
•Completely re-workable
•Non-greasy finish

Provocative shine with elastic hold that lasts even under hot backstage lighting. No visible residue. Non-greasy. Washes away easily.

How To Use: Apply from roots to mid-lengths.For a side-swept wet-look: Bring hair over to one side and comb the gel through from roots to mid-lengths.

MRP: Rs.700/- for 150ml

Ingredients:

It comes in a black and blue packaging with a black pump dispensor. It is a thick gel with a blue tint, be careful of the quantity you take as you need very little of the gel.

You know how Preity Zinta has her signature wet looking curls all the time? And the sleek tight hair buns and side swept hairstyles on the runways..well it is all thanks to a product like this one.

Hair sprays stiffen your hair, so when you want to keep your hairstyle in place but still don’t want that super stiff look of a hair spray, the L’Oreal Professionnel Tecni Art Extreme Splash will come to your rescue.

There are days when I want my hair parting and pouf to stay in a certain place, is when I take a bit of this product and set the hair in place and then it doesn’t budge and the pouf and parting stays throughout the day. The hair do take the shape but are not as stiff as with a hair spray and you can still move them with ease.

It is not something I would use on an everyday basis, only when I want to create a particular look. If you are a guy who loves using gels and creating spikes, this is the product for you!

It is not very expensive as 150ml is a super huge quantity and this will last forever as you need just a bit of the product every time.

Overall, I would say if you are someone who experiments a lot with hair and creates different hair styles, then you can try this. Not something for regular use or if you keep your hair open or tied in a full or half pony everyday. Definitely recommend it to guys! And if you are a girl with curly hair who likes Preity Zinta like wet curls.

I am not much into sleek hair styles, so not something I use much and I would not repurchase it.

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money : 4/5

Haircut at Juice Salon: I went Short! #GetTheLookWithJUICE

Hi guys,

I had not got a haircut since December i.e. last I had got it done just before my wedding. So, it had been a good 6-7 months and my hair desperately needed a cut. Last week I went to the Juice Salon at Inorbit Mall, Vashi to try out their new monsoon haircut + style. Ronnie, a super talented and an amazing hairstylist came down all the way to Vashi for me.

You must have seen this pic on my Instagram.

Juice has come up with 3 new hairstyles for the monsoons, 2 for women and 1 for men. I tried out one according to my face shape and hair texture. Ronnie started with washing my hair and then applying a serum which also works as a heat protectant for the blow drying later.

She chopped off 4-5 inches from the ends. Now this is the first time I have gone this short at a time 😀 I have always had long hair and hardly go short,so this is a refreshing change.

She layered on the top section to give the hair volume on the crown. And side swept bangs to frame the face which I am completely loving. She made sure she gives a haircut which is just was-and-go on regular days. And it indeed is, I am completely loving it.

Ronnie wanted soft,wavy curls at the ends but not those tong ones, a much softer version. She curled the ends with a hair straightener and then blow dried the crown section to give volume.

She gave me a lot of hair tips about serums,shampoos and hair styling products in general,it was so good chatting with her. She used a hair spray on her palm and gently used it on the top for the bangs to stay in place.

Here is my ‘Before’ and ‘After’

Me and Ronnie..

This is how my hair looked from behind.

Time for the surprise! One of you gets a chance to get this haircut. All you have to do is:

1. Follow me (@bhumika_t) and Juice Salon on Twitter.

2. Tell me a good reason as to why you need this haircut,you can tweet tagging me and Juice Salon and use the hashtag #GetTheLookWithJUICE

The contest is open only for Mumbai residents and it starts today and ends on 15th July,2015.

Lakme Salon #TheSculptLook Makeover,Vlog & Contest

Hi guys,

A few days ago I went to the Lakme Salon to try out the new Sculpt Look. Read all about the hair and makeup in The Sculpt Collection HERE.

There are various hairstyles and different makeup looks which form part of the Sculpt collection, it is all about the chiseled,sculpted look and a lot of contouring on the face, sharp hairstyles,etc.

You can always get it tweaked a bit according to your face shape and how you want to wear it. I loved the Marsala Stairs haircut and style, but that was something very,very sharp and the stylist Shefali told me I would need to straighten my hair all the time for the effect of the stairs to show otherwise it would not look good on me. Another option was The Pixel Bob but then again I did not want to go that short. Rest were buns which would work perfect with gowns or something Indian.

Hair

We went with the Victorian Matte look, but since I was wearing a casual tee, the bun would not have looked good and we changed that into a sculpted pony with a pouf and a lot of back combing at the front.

For the makeup, the entire face was contoured and I was given a darker, warmer base. A wash of warm gold for the eyes and inner half of the lower lashline. The very long winged eyeliner did not work for my face, so we went with kitten flick and kept the lips matte and dark too.

A closer look at the makeup

For the lips, Pallavi used the new Lakme Absolute Sculpt Matte lipstick in ‘Pink Me Up‘ and applied it with a brush, giving the lips a perfect sculpted shape.

Since the lights at the salon were bright and yellow, colors appear a bit different.

Here is my ‘Before’ and ‘After’

Before-After

I also created a short vlog. This is my first video, I hope you guys like it 🙂

Philips HP8302/00 Selfie Straightener Review

The Philips Selfie Straightener. It is a low-cost smart styling gadget for all the women out there, which straightens hair to give a salon style finish! Perfect for all the young girls out there, it offer good and long lasting results, similar to other straighteners launched by Philips in the past, but on low investments. It has been designed in an attractive and extremely manageable size, one can fit it in her bag while traveling or carry it in a handbag if its needed later in the day! The cost of the product has also been decided keeping in mind the limited allowance of the college students.

The Selfie Straightener has been designed to work on all hair types and comes in an attractive design and colour. A must have for every girl’s hair styling routine, it is easy to use, light weight and ergonomic and most importantly, doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket. It’s ceramic coated plates heat up in less than 60 seconds, to style your hair perfectly and selfie ready!

What the Company claims: Straighten and style your hair with this easy to use straightener. This product makes styling at home quick and convenient. Look your best for all those important selfie moments.

210°C professional temperature for perfect salon results This styling temperature enables you change the shape of your hair, and gives you that perfect look like you’ve just come from the salon.

Ceramic plates for smooth gliding and straight hair Infused ceramic plates for ultra smooth gliding and straight hair.

Fast heat up time, ready to use in 60 seconds The straightener has a fast heat-up time, being ready to use in 60 seconds.

A useful swivel cord rotates and prevents tangled wires  The swivel cord technology conveniently rotates the cord and prevents unnecessary tangles.

Use anywhere in the world with universal voltage This straightener is ready to use anywhere in the world and is compatible with 110-240 voltage.

MRP: Rs.1195/- (Available for Rs.1045/- on Flipkart)

To start with, it is the most small and handy hair straightener I have come across till date, very convenient for packing along. I love the black and pink color. The plates are not too wide, so you can only cover a smaller portion of hair part by part.

I love the fact that it heats up instantly, no waiting here at all! It heats up to 210°C and there is no heat setting here,you just plug it in and start using it. The cord is long enough and the swivel head helps you work around your hair without hassles.

The ceramic plates are safe for your hair and give a smoother result. I have almost straight hair but with wavy ends, I usually need to straighten the lower half for smooth,straight looking hair.

Now this is quite small and handy and best used for daily use, when you just want to straighten your bangs or the ends like how I use it. If you have long or curly hair and want a completely straight look,this is not the product for you as that needs wider plates and more heat.

Ignore my half makeup face, as I jump from hair to makeup to outfit when in a hurry :p

Coming to the price, it is very economical and a straightener at 1000 bucks is a boon for college goers. Also,this product is perfect for them as it can be easily carried along in their bags when they directly go partying from college 😀 Philips’ products come with a 2 year warranty, that again is a plus.

This is the ‘After Straightening’ result on me..I have used it on my lower half of the hair.

As you can see, hair is not poker straight but a lot straighter and less frizzy. I prefer the natural look it gives.

Overall I would say it is a must buy if you are in college and looking for something on a budget or need a straightener to carry with along during travels.

Have you tried the new Philips Selfie Straightener?

The Best Ways to Make Your Hair Extensions Look Real

The Best Ways to Make Your Hair Extensions Look Real

If you plan on wearing hair extensions or synthetic wigs, you’ll want to make sure that you wear them in a way that makes them look completely natural, no matter how wild of a color your wig or extensions might be. With a little effort and a few extra accessories, you’re sure to pull off a style that will make you look like coif connoisseur.

Brave Bangs

To rock some stunning bangs, blow dry your hair and bangs like you usually do before adding a 20-inch hair extension from ear to ear like a headband. To make everything blend in, add a few bouncy curls to your natural hair. To top off your look with a bit of shimmer, add a glittery hair accessory to your hair.

Long and Lavish

For this look, you’ll want to blow dry your bangs off to the side of your forehead before adding a bit of hairspray. Clip in a few long hair extensions right underneath your crown before brushing your hair and the extensions until they seamlessly blend together. To add a bit of allure to your look, try a small French braid on the opposite side your brushed bangs are on.  

Pony Up

A long side ponytail is one of the easiest looks to pull off. All you have to do is keep the same long extensions that you used in the long and lavish look and gather it to the side and use a simple hair tie to keep everything in place.

Hot Buns

This is another look that you can modify from the long look. To pull it off, gather your hair to the side in a ponytail before you wrap it around the base of the ponytail in order to make a hair bun. Use a few bobby pins to keep everything in place and add a faux bun extension at the crown of your head.

Curly Tail

To start this look off, brush your bangs and part them in the middle before adding a touch of strong-hold hairspray. To backcomb the very top of your hair and get lift and rich volume, use a round brush before you pull your natural hair to the back of your head into a bun. Allow a few pieces of your hair to hang loose on the sides of your head before using a small-barrel hair iron to add some curl. To pull everything together, add a curly ponytail hair piece on top of your natural hair bun.

The Wave

For an effortless long and tousled look to your hair, use a small-barrel iron to curl your natural hair before gently brushing those curls to give them soft waves. Add a bit of flexible-hold hairspray before you add wavy extensions starting just underneath your ears and ending at the crown of your head. It will most likely take you five extensions to successfully pull of this look. Complete your look by finger combing the extensions into your hair’s natural waves.

Hair extensions can become your best style friend when you really know how to wear and utilize them. Play around with a few different styles of your own and see if you can come up with some original looks.
