Matrix Biolage Advanced Fiberstrong Treatment and Range Review

If you remember my #MakingUpWithMatrix posts on my facebook, twitter and Instagram, I had gone for this Matrix Biolage Advanced Fiberstrong Treatment at the Matrix Hair Academy. And later on, I was using this range to see the difference.

I was attended by Faiyaz Shaikh– Asst. Manager, Artistic at Matrix.

About the Fiberstrong range: BIOLAGE Advance FIBERSTRONG is the next generation of hair care from MATRIX that offers anti-hair fall hair products & services specially formulated to tackle weak, fragile and brittle hair.

Fiberstrong combines the goodness of Nature with BAMBOO and the power of Molecular Science with INTRA-CYLANE to give 95% less hair breakage in just 1 application. Bamboo passes on its strength to the hair promoting the elasticity of hair strands. Intra-cylane, an exclusive patented molecule, helps fill in the gaps and seals cuticles to reduce breakage. These indulgent ingredients help in creating a structural reinforcement system to strengthen weakened hair cuticles as they condition the hair for ultra -soft & smooth results.

Matrix Biolage Advanced Fiberstrong Treatment and Range Review

It claims to have the power of Intra-Cylane and Bamboo extracts which gives 12 x stronger hair. Its a hair strengthening treatment against hair breakage and hair fall. And also claims to help reduce hair breakage by 95% in one application.

Step 1: At first, the hair is checked, by pulling one strand of your hair. If it goes back to its position and has elasticity and is strong enough. Upon that, its decided which stage of treatment your hair requires.

There are 3 stages:

Stage 1: Normal hair..not much breakage

Stage 2: Hair does not have enough elasticity and is prone to hair breakage

Stage 3: Damaged hair..breaks and falls easily.

Thankfully, I was falling under Stage 1, but Faiyaz said he would give the Stage 2 treatment so that I can see the difference.

Step 2: Hair wash and conditioning with the Matrix Biolage Advanced Fiberstrong Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner.

Step 3: Fiberstrong Intra-Cylane Concentrate is applied on every section of hair.

Step 4: Fiberstrong Strengthening Masque is applied.

Step 6 and 7: Hair is rinsed and towel dried.

Step 8 : He applied Fiberstrong Strengthening Leave-in-cream and blow dried..and finished with few drops of Matrix Biolage Serum for shine.

This treatment is to be followed by using the Matrix Biolage Advanced Fiberstrong Strengthening Shampoo, Conditioner and leave-in-cream at home. Faiyaz made me feel my hair and I could definitely feel the difference.

For Stage 3 hair, special Aminexil ampules are used which anchor the roots and prevent hair fall.

The treatment costs anywhere between Rs.600- to Rs.1500/- depending on the hair damage stage and the salon. Its available in all salons which house Matrix services and products. Find a salon near you HERE

The products used..shampoo, conditioner, masque, leave-in-cream,serum and the intra-cylane concentrate.

And here is my before-after..

A front after shot..why break up when you can make up 😀

Coming to the Matrix Biolage Advanced Fiberstrong Strengthening shampoo and conditioner I was using later on..

Shampoo claims and usage:

MRP: Rs.270/- for 200ml, Rs.485/- for 400ml

Ingredients:

Conditioner claims and usage:

MRP: Rs220/- for 98g, Rs.380/- for 196g

Ingredients:

I like the packaging in gray and green…the shampoo foams well and cleanses hair well..I normally see hair falling during shampooing too..but with this range, the hair fall during shampooing was very less.

The conditioner is not very creamy and moisturising..its light in texture and easy to use and rinses off easily since not very rich.

I see volume and strength in my hair and less hair fall too, but my hair is not soft and smooth which I generally prefer. Maybe its coz  of the conditioner, I do like the shampoo though. I would recommend this range for fine,limp hair which faces a lot of hair fall.

If you have tried many hair fall shampoos and conditioners and nothing has worked for you, give this range a try ! I am sure you will not regret. And also try and include the Intra-Cylane strengthening leave-in-Cream with it. I have not used that..but that would give better results together.

The Fiberstrong Treatment is surely worth a try..and at that price, its quiet worth it too..your hair does need some strengthening apart from the regular haircuts and styling !

#DovePlay Experience and Dove Intense Repair Range

So as you guys know Dove and Indiblogger together came up with this super interesting meet for all female bloggers last Sunday at JW Marriott, Mumbai..and there were bloggers flown down from Delhi, Pune, Kolkotta, Bangalore, etc..so we got a chance to meet and greet all thanks to Dove and Indiblogger.

Having attended 100’s of events till now, let me tell you, I was expecting the same usual thing and nothing different..I was in for a shock! And how!

This was the most interesting, unique and amazing event/meet I had been to ever!

Everyone registered first and got the badges and route maps and team numbers..we were served some yummy snacks and desserts for the high tea.

Registrations
Me with Suma and Jyo

First of, there were around 150+ girls all dressed in white..and we were divided into 10-11 teams. I was in Team 4. We all decided our team names first..we went with the name ‘Curls’. Not all of us knew everyone in the team too. So, there was this fun activity where half of the girls stand inside and half outside and make a circle facing each other..and turn in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction whenever the music starts and stop at whichever places they are facing their partners when the music stops. We were made to introduce each other, dance, do the bird dance, do a funny handshake, give each other a compliment, act a smiley we were given, etc..this helped all of us know each and every member of our team! Fabulous idea!

Circles for Introduction
Birdie Dance :p

They also had a fun twitter thing in between like who tweets the most, who updates the most and getting a picture with someone from Dove.(I did manage to get a pic! :p)

Next, was a super fun and amazing 10-15 minutes zumba session.That, I feel, was the highlight of the day. We all danced our hearts away..like crazy.

The Best Part- Zumba

Then we were supposed to play few games like Have A Ball, Jigsaw Puzzle, Play with your hair and Hoola Hoop. Also, our bags were kept safely with your name tags while we have a ball and enjoy.

We were divided into 5-5 each for Have a Ball..where there was this huge inflatable bouncer filled with different colored pit balls. 3 people would be going in and finding out the White Dove balls..and 2 people would be standing out holding the buckets to catch those white balls. And the next team of 5 people does it. We collectively managed 175 balls.

Have a Ball

Our next game was Play with your hair..where we were given 5 hairstyles and 5 girls would create the hairstyles on 5 other girls and then those 5 girls will repeat the same on the girls who created before :p I guess all the teams got full 100 points here.

Play with your Hair

Then there was this life sized jigsaw puzzle..and we were given the left part of it..there were 3 teams and each team would be given one part of the complete picture. We managed to assemble it in 3 minutes and few seconds.

Jigsaw Puzzle

We later went to the Dove Salon area where we could get whatever hairstyles we did want,professionally and get pampered.

Dove Salon for Hair Makeovers

And lastly there was hoola hoop which we tried but could’nt complete due to lack of time.

Hoola Hoop

There was this one last bartending act near the pool where one girl would be representing her team..and she had to make a good drink and name it. Shivani from our team took the lead. The mixologist also gave out some tips. Top3 winners received Lakme Salon vouchers for everyone in the team. We lost there 🙁

Finally we had dinner and drinks, a DJ at the end. The winning team was announced. There was one more small game for 2 of the girls.

We all received Dove Keratin Actives Shampoo and Conditioner, Philips HP8309 Salon Straight Hair Straightner and a cute Dove bird blingy hair pin. And of course, Indiblogger tee and our pictures which we clicked there with all the fun props. The drops were also taken care of.

Pics we clicked there and got at the end

I think this was by far the best event/meet I have been to..since we were enjoying and had kept our bags with them, my camera was in my bag and I could not click enough pictures..so all these pics are from the Indiblogger page on facebook.

I am trying out the Dove Keratin Actives Range right now..and can see the difference in my hair already.

Dove claims: Dove Intense Repair Shampoo contains Keratin Actives that go deep within, to help rebuild damaged hair at the cellular level. It makes your hair beautifully smooth, strong and resilient to damage. Read more about it HERE.

Directions to use the Dove Intense Repair Shampoo :

1. After washing your hair thoroughly take 2 to 3 drops of the intense repair shampoo, equal to size of a coin, on your palm.
2. Then apply the dove shampoo, gently massaging it all over your hair from the roots to the tips.
3. Leave the dove shampoo on your hair for a couple of minutes and then rinse it off completely.

So basically all the damage from the heat and chemicals,can now be repaired. Let’s see..I will update you guys with a full review soon.

Also, we did not hear anything about the twitter winners there on ground..I hope we are updated by Indiblogger on this..coz some of us were tweeting a lot..and I even managed to find a Dove executive out of all the ladies in white and took a picture! :p

P.S: All the pics from the Indiblogger facebook page.

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.

Shampoo Claims:

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.170/- for 215ml

Conditioner Claims:

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.170/- for 215ml

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.

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.

L’oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil, Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Hey everyone,

With tons and tons of new shampoos coming up (pun intended), its difficult to catch up with all and review all. I tried the Sunsilk Natural Recharge at first..and then this L’oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish which I was using from quiet some time..and now shifting to the TRESemme Split Remedy.

For now, I have been using the combination of these three..so lets review them today.

L’oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil: The Extraordinary Oil has been scientifically created to give your hair the nourishment it truly deserves with three traditional oils and three exotic oils providing 6 specific benefits. It has no heavy feel or greasy look.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.80/- for 65ml, Rs.150/- for 175 ml (Buy on Flipkart here)

Starting with the Extraordinary Oil, it has a strong artificial smell..comes in a glass bottle..you need to be careful with this one..and the dispensor takes its own time for the oil to come out :/

Its quiet light in texture and never gave that chipku look..gets absorbed well..hair does not feel greasy or heavy..and it was easy to wash off too..did not require multiple washes..

I am not a fan of using it post washing as a serum..its slightly heavy to be used as a serum and may weigh down the hair.

Except for the fact that it has mineral oil and that too 68% :/ Mineral oil is not entirely bad for the hair..if you have curly hair, then it works for you all the more..what is does is, it forms a film on the hair..means it prevents moisture from going in..but its two way..so in a way it helps in controlling frizz but also prevents other useful products to reach the hair..but actually it also has some benefits and I would not discard a product if it has mineral oil..the question remains..how much qty of mineral oil is used in the product ! I also read that mineral oil should not be used on dry hair as it locks the dryness and dries them over..but it has worked for some and not for some..there are mixed opinions. I did not face much of an issue with this one.

Overall I would say I would have preferred lesser mineral oil..I mean 68% is quiet a lot !

Coming to the L’oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo and Conditioner. I have tried these oils in hair range before..with the Dove Nourishing Oil Range and Sunsilk Radiant Shine Range..both of which I loved ! So, the hair range with oils have always worked for me..

Does this one too ? Lets find out.

These have a yellow colored packaging and both are golden yellow in color..the shampoo has tiny shimmer which reflects. I love the amazing smell.

Shampoo is the perfect texture..not too watery..lathers amazingly well, washes off easily..and leaves hair smooth and detangled..

Conditioner is rich and creamy and coats hair well and leaves hair hydrated and moisturised.

I only felt that conditioner if used slightly more, can weigh down normal to oily hair since its a little rich.

Also, they claim that this conditioner can be used directly on the scalp..I did not try it and would not recommend it too..after all its a conditioner !

Though the shampoo does have SLS and conditioner, the silicones.

The range gave me shiny, smooth, detangled hair but weighed hair down sometimes..especially when all three used together since I have normal hair..It would work amazingly well for dry hair.

Overall, I would say this range is amazing for dry hair..and normal hair can work it too but carefully..but I would not recommend it for oily hair.

Godrej Expert Rich Crème Hair Colour Review

Ok so I am not into coloring my hair as of yet..don’t worry..I have not got the greys yet. When I got the chance to review the Godrej Expert Hair Color, I thought of trying this on my mom..and thats what I did.


About Godrej Expert Rich Crème Hair Colour: It comes in a Sachet form with the creme and developer sachets separately..The sachet costs Rs.30/-


  • It has Aloe Protein
  • comes in pre-measured sachets, that makes it easy to use
  • no ammonia formula helps retain hair protein
  • keeps hair strong
  • 100% grey coverage

Ingredients:



Warning: Please do a patch test first before using. Some people might be allergic to some ingredients.

You may need:
  • Colourant and Developer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Brush
  • Gloves
  • Ear Caps
  • Stain Removal Wipe
  • Conditioner

Godrej Expert Rich Crème Hair Color comes in 5 shades: Natural Black, Black Brown, Dark Brown, Natural Brown and Burgundy


Directions to use:

I got all 5 shades..Natural Brown was what worked best for my mom.


Mixed the Creme and Developer in the mixing bowl..and used the brush to mix well. And applied it all over the hair and in the sections with the brush and using the hands through gloves..

L: Crème and Develeoper R: Mixed
Mom kept it for 30 minutes and washed it off with water and used the conditioner at the end as mentioned.


Since mom had already coloured her hair previously and keeps doing it, you won’t see complete whites but brown here and there..the colour was uneven..and in the after pic..as you see, the colour is more even..and looks great….hair is softer and gives a nice shine.

There was no ammonia smell since its ammonia free.Like any other hair colourant in the market, Rich Crème also requires a patch test.

Also the quantity felt short for evenly using throughout..a woman’s hair easily needs 2 packets of these..one can be used only for touch ups, etc..

Overall, its quiet easy to use…and the whole process takes hardly around 45 minutes..I liked the effects too..

Would update you guys on how the colour fared and stayed.

Have you or your mom tried Godrej Expert Crème Hair Colour ? Your views ?

Ingredients:

It comes in a green and white half and half bottle..one side has a light green colored gel and one side some oil..it has a sideways pump dispensor..and both the sides dispense the product together..it is supposed to be combined together and then applied to the hair..like any normal serum..

My hair have turned pretty dry in the last few months..and so I thought of trying this out..it has helped my hair stay hydrated and glossy and shiny..and the most important frizz free..

I use it after my shampooing on half dried hair..and the best part is..it keeps my hair amazingly soft and shiny the next day too ! And it smells amazing..

I am completely in love with it..

Pros:

1. Leaves hair super shiny and glossy.
2. Hair feels softer and hydrated.
3. Stays frizz free.
4. Effect stays on next day too.
5. Easy to use and carry around.

Sunsilk Radiant Shine Shampoo, Conditioner Review
What the Company claims: 96% of girls in India desire shiny hair. However daily stresses like harsh sunlight and excessive pollution may rob the hair of essential shine and moisture, leaving it dull and limp. Sunsilk Radiant Shine shampoo and conditioner combines the nourishing qualities of five oils which have beneficial effects on hair – Argon, Jojoba, Camellia, Almond and Olive. The dual effects of oiling and washing softens the hair texture not just from the outside, but ensures that hair receives nourishment at periodic intervals. The light oils permeate up to three layers deep and give hair a natural sheen that stays as the day progresses. So you can show off your shine that stays on and on!

Expert Tip for Shiny Hair: Vitamin E is vital for luscious shiny locks. It is found in foods such as avocadoes, berries and nuts. Blowdry your hair inside out and work your way up from tips to the scalp. Always use a heat protector spray before heat styling your hair. Make sure you up your iron intake in your diet.

The shampoo foams really well..in one wash, hair is thoroughly cleansed..and feels smooth and with minimum tangles..

Conditioner is very creamy yellow in color and smells amazing too..and does make hair softer..

I loved it..it actually makes hair smooth and shiny..not mirror like shine obviously..I hope no one was expecting that 😀 But, definitely a nice healthy sheen.

Pros:

1. Shampoo and Conditioner both smell amazing.
2. Makes hair softer and smoother.
3. Gives a nice healthy sheen to the hair.
4. Economical.
5. Easily available.
6. Creamy conditioner hydrates the hair well..they do not feel dry as with some conditioners..
7. Both shampoo and conditioner have Argon, Jojoba, Camellia, Almond and Olive oils.

Cons:

1. Has SLS and SLES.

I know its not exactly something that would control your dandruff or hair fall, but its not even claiming that..no cons for me except for sulphates..coz it works amazingly well..currently my HG ! Highly recommended.
