Wella SP Luxe Keratin Boost Essence Leave in Treatment Review

Application: Spray 6-8 pumps on wet hair to facilitate easier combing. Ideal as a cutting lotion for hair that needs deep reconstruction. Do not rinse; dry as usual.

Formulated with nourishing jojoba, almond and argan oils, as well as amino acids, the treatment ensures your hair stays smooth, soft and supple, whilst preventing moisture loss and offering protection from environmental aggressors. A wonderful multi-tasker, this fabulous product will leave your hair exuding lustre and vitality.

SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL LUXE OIL uses a reconstructive Transform Technology that benefits hair inside and out, while protecting it from damage:
• Hair texture feels up to 10 times smoother after just one application.*
• 3 times more Keratin Protection, providing instant and long-lasting, smoothness.**
• Leaves hair looking healthy and naturally beautiful.
• Hair is easy to style every day, thanks to a special, lightweight oil formula.

Ingredients: Aqua, Alcohol Denat., Cetrimonium Chloride, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Panthenol, Isopropyl Alcohol, Polyquaterniu,-11, Glycerin, Citric Acid, Parfum, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Threonine, Histidine, Glycine, Arginine, Alanine, Argana Spinosa Kernel Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Camellia Oleferia Seed Oil, Caprylyl Glycol, Amyl Cinnamal, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool.

MRP: Approx. Rs.1500/- for 100ml

Wella SP Luxe Keratin Boost Essence comes in a transparent gold spray bottle form with a small cap to cover the nozzle and looks like any body mist.

Its very very light in texture unlike any hair serums, and has a soft floral smell. Easy to use, just spray and leave it on.

It does control frizz to some extent and adds some shine to the hair. It does not weigh the hair down since its very light. And the best thing is, it is silicone free. It detangles the hair and also works as a heat protectant. Blow dry after using this, for best results.

For me personally, I need a little heavy oil based serum for the frizz to be completely controlled. (may be coz of the silicones) So if I have to choose one, I did go for a heavy serum like the Streax Pro Argan Secrets Serum. But there are days, when I choose this over a heavy serum. There is also a Luxe Oil Reconstructive Elixir in this Wella SP Luxe Range, would try that out next.

Its surely on the expensive side and not easily available too.

Those of you who find serums heavy or they make your hair greasy, this is the perfect choice. I would love to try Wella Professionals Oil Reflections too, have heard a lot about it. (Its not from the Systems Professionals Range though)

Rating: 3.5/5

Moroccanoil Hair Spa Experience

Hey guys,

Few days back I was invited for the Moroccanoil Hair Spa experiental at the Renee Melek Salon in Bandra. I have had the chance to experience the Moroccanoil Hair Spa before at The Taj Palace Salon in Colaba. So I know how good it feels and was more than happy to try it out.

The owner Renee herself checked my hair and recommended the intense hydrating treatment for my hair. (Since this time my hair was more dry than my previous experience)

My hair was first washed with the Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo.

Funny me- after the wash :p

And then a mix of Moroccanoil Serum and Intense Hydrating Mask was applied on my hair all over, in parts. Its a mix of 1 pump and 1 spoonful of mask.

It was followed by a relaxing massage and steam.

Then the hair was washed again, this time only with water. Followed by a blow dry.

Here are some before-after pics.

Front
Back

My hair felt super soft to touch and I could feel the hydration in the hair, as it had turned a little dry of late. And even after a serum and mask were used, it was quite light and bouncy. It did not weigh my hair down. Hair stayed hydrated for a week or so. I also got this Moroccanoil Light Serum which I am currently using and testing out. Would review soon.

There are different Moroccanoil Hydrating Treatments and options.The Price of Moroccanoil Hydrating treatment – ranges from Rs. 2300 – Rs. 2700 depending on length and thickness of hair. Prices are inclusive of tax.

I have always had a good experience with Moroccanoil hair spa treatment till now. Have you tried it yet ?

P.S: Services were provided by the brand but it has not affected my opinion.

Philips Essential Care Air Straightener HP8658 Review

What the Company claims: Get naturally straight hair using this ‘HP8658 – Essential Care Air straightener’ from Philips. This straightener also takes care of your hair with its ThermoProtect temperature. Gentle drying and styling offered by this straightener will impress modern women.

Other specifications:

  • 650W for best results
  • Paddle straightening brush for naturally straight look
  • 2 flexible heat and speed settings for more control
  • 1.8 m cord for maximum flexibility
  • 2 years worldwide guarantee

MRP: Rs.1695/-

I love the pink and white color to begin with. It has a separate head and handle, which can be joined and removed easily whenever required, and is quite convenient to store and carry around. You just need to attach and turn for the head to lock in, and unlock and detach with just a button.

Its not exactly a hair straightener, but a hair dryer cum comb with which you can dry and comb your wet hair at the same time, and give it a straighter,sleeker, blow dried look.

Comes with

It has two heat settings, one low heat and the other high heat. I usually prefer low heat on a day to day normal basis. I love the fact that I do not need a separate hair dryer, and I can dry my hair making it more sleeker with this. It also helps in controlling somewhat frizz.

Twist and Interlock, Press Button and Detach

It gives a nice, smooth, straight look. Blow drying and styling hair at a salon costs anywhere around Rs.1000-2000/-. You can achieve a similar, if not the same (obviously) look with a one time investment like this.

This is how paddle brush looks. See the gap in between is from where the hot air blows

It works for dry hair too, in detangling the knots and giving a smoother appearance, but I would recommend the low heat setting on dry hair.

Two Heat Settings

I also love the fact that it comes with a 2 years worldwide guarantee. (which I guess most of Philips products are)

Styling
Instructions

Here is how the hair looks after drying completely and using it for 10 minutes. I usually am in a hurry, so did not use it for a longer time, it would give a more sleeker look with longer duration.

In Process
After Hair

It also comes in a KeraShine version i.e HP8659 (priced at Rs.2395/-) with ion technology and ceramic plates that helps even more in frizz by controlling and relaxing the static hair. I wanted to try the KeraShine one. If you are someone who has frizzy hair, or are ready to spend a few extra bucks, go for the KeraShine one.

And if you are someone, who would like to try this out, or don’t wish to spend much coz you are not sure if it will work that good for you (its super easy, so that should not be an issue though), you can go for this normal Essential Care Air Straightener.

Rating- 3.75/5 (KeraShine would be +0.25)

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.

Iraya Keshavardhak Lepa Review

Keshavardhak Lepa (Nourishing Scalp-Tonic Pack)

What the Company claims: Revitalises the scalp bringing essential nutrition to the hair root. Restores its natural vigour and vitality.

Iraya’s Keshavardhak Lepa, an ancient ayurvedic recipe contains 11 powerful herbs for reversing premature hair loss. It is a powerful hair tonic compound that strengthens the hair root and stimulates micro- circulation in the scalp. Helps prevent and stop hairfall. The perfect care for thinning hair and for treating alopecia.

Usage: Form a thin paste by mixing it with water and/or some oil (for dry scalp). Part the hair and carefully apply to the entire scalp. For best results, cover your hair with a hot, wet towel and leave on for atleast an hour.

Note- After the first application, you may notice some hair fall, do not worry these are dead hair follicles that are eliminated as the first part of the treatment.

Ingredients: 11 powerful ayurvedic herbs including triphala, gokharu & maka

MRP: Rs.495/- for 50g

It comes in a cute wooden jar matki with a cap. And inside you have the powder in a plastic zip pouch.

Since the product is to be used on the entire scalp, the 50g pack would last 3 uses. You can either mix it with water or with oil. I have tried once with both. The hair and scalp feel a little drier when mixed with water, coz the water would evaporate quickly and you need to keep the mask for an hour.

With oil, hair won’t feel dry, but it would be a little difficult to wash off.

I used it alternate weeks i.e with one week gap in between. I did not notice any hair fall as such when I was using this, but could not notice any new hair growth too, in this short time and in just 3 uses.

Before- After

Though the herbs mentioned in the ingredients like triphala, gokharu, maka and a few others are the best to prevent hair loss and regenerate new hair. But, one needs to give it time and use it consistently to see results.

I think it should have been sold in a 100g pack and obviously at less a price than the double of 50g, to be economical and for one to see some good results.

Overall, I would say, definitely worth a try if you are suffering from hair loss.

Have you tried the Iraya Keshavardhak Lepa or any other ayurvedic preparation to fight against hair fall ? Did you notice results ?

Visit to L’Oreal Paris Labs Mumbai

Hey guys,

Few weeks back, I was invited to visit the L’Oreal Paris Labs in Mumbai and see how they make the hair color, process, behind the scenes, etc.

At first, we were given an introduction to the new L’Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss and the new Chocolate Collection (See more HERE). We were given a presentation about what goes behind L’Oreal Paris and the research in the labs by Maxime De Boni.

Then we took a round of the L’Oreal Labs on the other floor. Later we saw the rooms where they give the hair color to women to try on themselves and observe their way of application, way of washing it, etc. They also help them or teach them if they feel the method is not right.

A discussion room right besides their room, to work on their observations and how and what they can include in the product, to make it easier for women to colour their hair at home by themselves.

We also saw a small experimental salon where they colour their hair and a light room to check the hair colour under the dark light.

Overall, it was good to see ‘what goes beyond’ the hair color and the research involved. Though I would say, it could have been better if we were taken inside the labs to see it live, but since it was against the company’s policy, can’t do much there.

Have you seen any lab where makeup/hair products are made ? Your experience ?

Lakmé Salon Presented ‘Show Stopping Hair’ Collection Styled by Little Shilpa @ Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2014

Hey guys,

So I attended this #HairIsFashion #ShowStoppingHair ‘first of its kind’ hair fashion show yesterday at Lakme Fashion Week. It was styled by Little Shilpa, but the whole show revolved around hair.

Lakmé Salon brought hair to the forefront for the first time in the history of Lakmé Fashion Week through its ‘Show Stopping Hair’ collection. Styled by Little Shilpa, the line showcased a variety of head-turning avant-garde hairstyles that opened with ‘Metamorphosis’; a play of hair colors, followed by ‘Illusion’; a tryst of hair lengths and textures and ended with the classic ‘Moulin Rouge’; bouffants and updos galore. Twelve models walked the ramp with the spotlight uniquely focused on their hair, punctuating Lakmé Salon’s belief ‘Hair is Fashion’.

Shailesh Moolya, Creative Hair Director, Lakme Salon, Designer Little Shilpa and Sushma Khan, National Makeup and Skin Trainer, Lakme Salon (L-R)

The collection took its cues from three different spaces; postmodern Paris,romantic Paris and Moulin Rouge.

Cutting edge hairstyles, and mirror images of opposite hair lengths and textures constituted the first part of the show, ‘Metamorphosis’.

‘Illusion’ inspired by the ‘Northern lights’ phenomenon celebrated the confluence of hair colors.

Finally, red crystal chains around hair cones, coiffures and red crystal nested mohawks recreated ‘Moulin Rouge’ for the show.

Whether drapes of shredded fabric around models in all black, or corsets with micro shorts, Little Shilpa certainly added some interesting design elements that complimented Lakmé Salon’s unconventional hairstyles. Add to that theatrical lighting where the spotlight followed models, furthered the dramatic tone of the show. Little Shilpa also created a special limited edition hair accessory which will be offered to the first 20 Lakmé Salon customers who opt for these newly introduced looks. These pieces have been crafted basis the three themes that were showcased at the show.

Metamorphosis

At the event, Shailesh Moolya, Creative Hair Director, Lakmé Salons stated that “Lakmé Salon for the first time in India made hair the hero of the show. It was great to see such an outstanding response. Our three creative and trendy hair themes from the ‘Show Stopping Hair’ collection will revolutionize hair fashion in the country and are going to make hair the boldest fashion statement. These gorgeous, fashion-forward looks from the runway, in their wearable avatar, will be brought to over 150 Lakmé Salons in 50 plus cities, giving women a chance to experience a new expression of fashion through their hair.”

Moulin Rouge

Little Shilpa says “Styling for Lakmé Salon’s ‘Show Stopping Hair’ collection has been a fun and rewarding experience. I believe the brand has revolutionized the hair fashion arena in India by bringing to the fore creative and trendy styles. Lakmé Salon and I share a common belief that “Fashion goes beyond clothing”. Lakmé Salon’s vision of making Indian women runway ready, matches perfectly with my fashion style and statement.”

Illusion

The collection fluently delivered the message that show stopping fashion begins with hair. The prêt-à-porter versions of the Illusion, Metamorphosis and Moulin Rouge looks from the ‘Show Stopping Hair’ collection will be available at over 150 Lakmé Salons in the country.

Moulin Rouge

I would be sharing the images of the prêt-à-porter versions of the Illusion, Metamorphosis and Moulin Rouge looks in the next post.

But this was one unique concept and show. The hairstyles must have taken hours! I actually loved the whole enthusiasm and energy of the models, designer Little Shilpa and Shailesh behind the whole show.

What kind of Show Stopping hairstyles are you expecting ? I feel there would be messy buns and braids for sure. And balloon ponytails with bouffant,like in the pic above.

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.

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 3/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes

Do you use serums ? Which is your favorite ?

Ok, to start with, I was never a Pantene fan before. Had used it once long back and did not like it much, never tried Pantene again. So, this time when the Pantene team asked me to take their 14 day hair challenge with their all new and improved Pantene, I was like why not, let me give it a try.
The thing which intrigued me the most was their new Keratin Damage Blockers Technology. Even though the challenge was 14 days i.e 2 weeks, I was still using it for a longer time, though I did note the change in my hair in 2 weeks.
First, let us read and understand more about keratin porosis and the keratin damage blockers..

Step 3

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 !

Have you tried the new Pantene Total Damage Care Range ??
