Shampoo MRP: Rs.575/- for 250ml (Buy HERE)

Ingredients:

Masque MRP: Rs.675/- for 196g (Buy HERE)

Ingredients:

I had received this combo of shampoo and masque in December, then there was this whole wedding and honeymoon thing. We went to Hong Kong, Macau and Andamans, basically 2 totally different places with dramatically different climatic conditions and water. By the end of my honeymoon, my hair felt like straw! And it is very rare that my hair feel so :/ So, you can feel the situation.

Cut to Dec end, when I came back, I saw this combo waiting for me at my place. I was like, let’s give it a try. Since this is meant for dry, damaged hair, maybe it can work the magic on my hair.

I tried it once AND kaboom!! My hair was back to normal, super soft and bouncy. I was surprised. Maybe it was both the water here in Mumbai and the shampoo that brought my hair back to life. But then, I cannot take away all the credit from these beauties.

The shampoo comes in a trademark L’Oreal Professionnel Expert Series shape bottle and both shampoo and masque are bronw in color. Actually, L’Oreal Professionel has different ranges, so usually salon people also distinguish on the basis of color. When they ask me which shampoo do I use, and I say Absolut Repair Lipidium, they say aahh the brown bottle, so I was like ya.

Masque comes in a long jar. Shampoo is runny and the masque is like quite thick, more thicker than a conditioner. It is very rich and creamy. Both the shampoo and masque are light yellow in color.

Shampoo foams well and cleanses amazingly well in just one wash. Both smell awesome! I take a fat dollop of the masque and use it as a conditioner.

I am a fan of this combo and have been using it since quite a long time now. In between, I had tried Head & Shoulders when I was facing some dandruff issues, but I made sure I used the masque though.

Though its priced a little high, but it lasts a very long time. Also the availability is an issue, since it is salon exclusive or available online on some sites.

I love this range. If you have normal to dry hair, you should definitely give this a try. Highly recommended!

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.

I want to know your #MomWasAlwaysRight moments in the comments below and 2 winners will win special Parachute Advansed Aromatherapy gift packs.

The contest starts today and ends after 2 days on 11th May evening. Share this post on your social media tagging me and use #MomWasAlwaysRight for brownie points.

Also, when you win the contest, you can try this Art of Oiling on your mom 🙂 She will be very happy..watch the video to know how.

Good Luck 🙂

P.S: I am extending the contest till 12th May evening.

Shampoo for Different Kinds of Hair

Shampoo for Different Kinds of Hair

This is the common type of question people ask when it comes to hair care, which shampoo and conditioner would suit my hair. Now there are different kinds of hair, some are oily,some dry, curly,wavy,straight.frizzy,etc

Now what kind of shampoo would suit which hair type..let’s get on to this..

1. Dry hair

Your hair needs moisture and at the same time if you are washing your hair daily,it is getting ripped off the moisture. So you need a shampoo that is creamy and moisturising and yet gentle enough for everyday use. Also dry hair is more susceptible to hairfall and breakage since they are more brittle. A good,rich conditioner is also required for dry hair. I absolutely love the L’Oreal Professionnel Absolute Repair Lipidium Shampoo and Mask. Or the Schwarzkopf Professional BC Repair Rescue Range. You can also follow with a good hair serum for the ends. Look for ingredients with naturals oils,shea butter,etc in the shampoos and conditioners. Oil based shampoos like L’Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish also work for dry hair. Oil your hair once a week for an hour before shampooing.

2. Oily hair

This type of hair is more sticky and limp due to excessive sebum production, Make sure you do not massage your scalp a lot,leading to stimulation of the glands and also wash hair with warm water and not hot. A gentle, clear gel based shampoo works for your hair type,something like Biotique Bio Green Apple Fresh Daily Purifying Shampoo or Omved Brahmi & Peppermint Shampoo. Use a clarifying shampoo once a week. Look out for ingredients like Panthenol and Wheat Protein in the shampoo. Also use the conditioner only towards the ends.

3. Coloured/Straightened Hair

Since the hair has gone through chemical treatments, it is best to use a SLS free shampoo so as to let the effect stay longer. The Body Shop Rainforest Range is SLS free and all natural. There are also a few natural brands like Omved and SoulTree which have SLS free shampoos.

4. Curly hair

Curly hair needs a right shampoo to maintain its curls and texture. You do not want straighter looking hair which actually leads to neither straight nor curls kind of hair. To maintain the natural form of the curls, a separate shampoo for curly hair is needed. I would recommend Curly Twirls, Kerastase Nutritive Bain OleoCurl Curl Definition Shampoo or TIGI Catwalk Curls Rock Shampoo.

If you have frizzy hair, a shampoo recommended for dry skin above would work. A good serum will help control frizz and also avoiding heating tools as much as possible, would keep frizz under control.

What kind of hair do you have? And what shampoo do you use?

L’Oreal Professionnel Wild Stylers by Tecni.Art Beach Waves Spray Review

L’Oreal Professionnel Wild Stylers by Tecni.Art Beach Waves Spray Review

Phew..that’s quite a mouthful. And the name is even longer L’Oreal Professionnel Wild Stylers by Tecni.Art Beach Waves Texturizing Salt Spray! Yeah :p

What the Company claims: Fresh from the beach effect, for sexy, tousled hair with a matt finish

Hold:  2- Light

How to use: Spray onto dry or wet hair and scrunch with hands or define using fingers for a more defined finish

Tips: Perfect on all hair types and to wear on top of other products for a more sexy, matt finish

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.700/- for 150ml

It comes in a sleek,plastic bottle with the most innovative cap which has a lock button, so untill you press the lock button to one side, it won’t spray. This makes it quite convenient and would avoid wastage/spillage during travel,etc too. Smells really nice.

You can use it on wet or dry hair. I tried it on dry next day hair, I sprayed it at night, rolled my hair high up and kept it overnight.

Also see this video on how to use it..


Now if you have long or dense/thick hair, you are going to need a lot of this! Also since it has alcohol, it is bit drying and hence the matt finish, so do not expect any shine or glossiness in your hair. (Usually hair gets dry on the beach,so beachy waves are not supposed to be shiny or glossy anyways)

Next morning my hair had some waves, only towards the lower half,of course. My hair is quite straight and only slightly wavy and silky too,so nothing holds onto my hair..I need a heavy hair spray for any hairstyle to stay on my hair! :/

Since this has light hold, the waves are not like those softly done curls with a hair curler, but very light natural waves, which would loosen with a thin comb too! Hence, do not use a comb, but only your hands to get rid of tangles and scrunch them up real well!

You may follow up with a good hold hair spray to hold the waves, which I recommend you do, coz without a spray, the waves won’t stay for long, especially if your hair is usually straight like me. Or you can use a curler at first and then use this on light curls, following up with a spray.

Now coming to whether I recommend it, well you know I can get similar waves if I tie my damp hair in a braid or rolling it and tying in a bun and keeping it overnight. Also you can make your own sea salt spray at home mixing hot water,sea salt, bit of coconut/argan oil, few drops of essential oil and a bit of leave in conditioner. If you have straight hair, this won’t help much and also since the hold is light, they won’t stay for long.

So, this being priced at Rs.700 is obviously expensive, when you do need a lot of quantity in every use especially when you have long hair, I won’t say its a must have, but if you always wanted to try a sea salt spray, then you can give this a try.

Rating: 3/5

Have you tried any sea salt spray before? DIY or this or some other brand? Do let me know in the comments below.

My Lakme ‘Show Stopping Hair’ Makeover

Hey guys,

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

The collection includes three dramatic themes:

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

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

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

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

I chose the hairstyle in the below pic..

 

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

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

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

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

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

Before-After

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

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

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

Ingredients:

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.

Rating:

Shampoo- 3.75/5

Conditioner- 2.75/5

Hair Mask- 4/5

Dove Hamper Giveaway- 5 winners

‘It was a Saturday night, I was getting ready for the biggest party in town, when the mirror asked me, do you think your hair is well nourished?’ Well, I have virgin hair and I haven’t really colored or straightened my hair ever. I have just got the Cysteine treatment done once which is very safe and lasts hardly a month and a half or so. But I have been hardly oiling my hair from the last one year or so and I know my hair has turned drier. Also a lot more unmanageable and frizzy. I can so no, not well nourished enough.

Come winters and my biggest problem is dandruff. The scalp is super dry and itchy these days and I have been trying 1-2 anti-dandruff shampoos but no luck yet. I know I have to take extra care of my hair too and not just skin, and that goes for most of us I believe. We all take our hair for granted and torcher it. No one would dare risk their skin with any new treatment or product easily. But for hair, bring on the heat and hairstyles,right! 😀

I think its the perfect time for me to try this Dove range as it promises to nourish my dry hair and ends, and also help with dandruff at the same time. Dove has always worked for my hair as its creamy and hydrating, especially the conditioners. It leaves my hair soft and smooth. My hair needs the nourishment like NOW!

BBLUNT Perfect Balance Shampoo, Intense Moisture Conditioner Review

What the Company claims: Perfect Balance Shampoo For Normal To Dry Hair

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.

Ingredients: Glycerin & Provitamin B5

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

HOW TO USE: Thoroughly wet hair. Take one pump or more and spread evenly by massaging the scalp with gentle circular motions and running the fingers through the lengths of the hair. Rinse out thoroughly. Repeat if necessary.

Ingredients List:

MRP: Rs.500/- for 400ml

You can buy it online HERE or from any BBLUNT salons.

What the Company claims: Intense Moisture Conditioner For Seriously Dry Hair
This moisture-rich conditioner makes out-of-control hair manageable. It smoothens, softens and adds shine. Show your hair some love.

Ingredients: Jojoba, Vitamin E, Hydrolyzed Keratin & Wheat germ oil

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

HOW TO USE: Remove excess water after shampooing. Apply evenly to lengths and ends, avoiding the scalp. Leave on for at least 3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately.

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.

Rating: 3.75/5

Have you tried anything from BBLUNT yet ?
