L’OCCITANE introduces a NEW RADIANCE & COLOUR CARE range for colour-treated hair

ESSENTIAL OILS: THE SPECIAL INGREDIENT AT THE HEART OF L’OCCITANE HAIR CARE

For over 30 years, L’OCCITANE has used essential oils in its hair care products. These oils hold the highest concentration of a plant’s active ingredients and are particularly effective in treating hair. They penetrate hair fibres easily and deliver nutrients that are essential for its health and vitality. The various essential oils in L’OCCITANE hair care formulas have complementary properties. Used in carefully calculated proportions they act together in perfect synergy: lavender purifies, rosemary stimulates, angelica softens…With their sensorial textures and natural scents, the Aromachology products both strengthen and beautify the hair.

A NEW COMPLEX OF ESSENTIAL OILS DEDICATED TO COLOUR-TREATED AND HIGHLIGHTED HAIR

Colour-treated hair is more vulnerable than natural, untreated hair, so it requires extra-special care. With every wash, colour can fade and lose its intensity. The new Radiance & Colour Care range from L’OCCITANE introduces an innovative solution: an exclusive complex of five essential oils that helps to strengthen and revitalise colour-treated hair. GERANIUM: regenerates PALMAROSA: boosts the micro-circulation

For this new product range, L’OCCITANE stayed true to its ecological objectives by maximizing the use of recycled and recyclable materials. The large sized plastic jars are made from 100% recycled and recyclable PET plastic whilst the small and medium shampoo and conditioner tubes are made with partly recycled plastic.

This Radiance and Colour innovation has three key product elements

1. A sulphate free-formula to gentle cleanse the hair.
2. UV screen to protect hair colour from the sun.
3. Grape seed extracts naturally rich in antioxidants.

RADIANCE & COLOUR CARE SHAMPOO : 250 ML : Rs. 1,450

The creamy texture of this sulphate-free shampoo transforms into a rich lather that gently cleanses the hair and offers optimal colour protection. Contains no sulphates, parabens or synthetic colorants.

RADIANCE & COLOUR CARE CONDITIONER : 250 ML : Rs. 1,450

This nourishing conditioner protects the intensity of colour-treated or highlighted hair. Its creamy formula smoothes and coats the fibres, leaving hair shiny, silky and incredibly easy to detangle.
Contains no sulphates, parabens or synthetic colorants.

RADIANCE & COLOUR CARE MASK : 250 ML : Rs. 2,190

This creamy, intense mask melts into the hair and gives it an instant beauty boost! Without ever weighing it down, it protects colour-treated hair and enhances its shine. Contains no sulphates, parabens or synthetic colorants.

Even this has a nice smell. I love the conditioner even more than the shampoo. And I can never skip using this after shampoo. Love the way my hair feels with it.

Their pros and cons are almost the same as above..as even this contains silicones. But then mostly all shampoos and conditioners do..coz otherwise our hair would not feel the way we want them to.

A. M Amla Hair Soap Review

A. M Amla Hair Soap Review

Ok..I know most of you might not be aware about this…I am using this from the last 6-7 years and everyone in my family uses this. I use this at first while washing hair…It foams amazingly well coz of the shikakai base and removes most of the oil and dirt..and follow it up with my shampoo..and that makes my hair washing super easy and fast.

It is 100% hand made soap and free from animal fat. It is a black colored soap and it melts away easily in water. So you have to keep it away after using in a dry place so that it doesn’t melt.

MRP: Rs.20/- for 75 gms

There are no ingredients mentioned. But it says for black, long, soft hair and made from pure coconut oil and other ayurvedic ingredients.

Pros:

1. It is the best hair soap I have ever used. I have tried that famous shikakai soap long back..used that as a kid many a times.
2. It lathers well and removes all the oil..thus making my shampooing work easy.
3. I just need to shampoo once after using this even on oiled hair..and thus I save on shampoo too 😉
4. It is a steal at Rs.20 (It was 13 before, then 15 and now 20)
5. It is hand made and free from animal fat.
6. Never caused any hair fall or something and keeps my mane all nice and clean.

Cons:

1. It is a bit drying when used alone as its a soap..you have to use a shampoo after this.
2. It finishes up real fast but I don’t mind that at Rs. 20.
3. Availability might be a problem for some..though I get it at most of the local stores here.

Overall rating- 5/5

Would I buy it again- Yes I would..always…

Have you tried any Amla or Shikakai hair soaps ??

Oriflame Coconut and Rice Milk Nourishing Shampoo Review

Let me share with you all my experience with  this shampoo which sounds very good !!
When I first saw this shampoo in the catalog along with the other two shampoos..i.e Cotton and Wild rose Protecting and White Nettle and Papaya Anti Dandruff 2 in 1 Shampoo plus Conditioner. I loved the way it was described and it sounded too good. So I ordered it and then what happened read on…
What does the Company claim : Inspire your dry hair with a lavish, indulgent shampoo with exquisite natural extracts of coconut oil and rice milk to hydrate, nurture and condition.
A mild and gentle shampoo to effectively cleanse and nourish hair.
Directions for use : Apply to wet hair, massage into a rich lather and rinse.

It is white in color and is runny. It has a very unpleasant strong coconuty smell.
Cons :


1.The smell !! It has a very strong coconut smell which is similar to a cheap coconut toffee…may be similar to that small red kismi toffee :p
2. It does not lather.
3. It does not remove oil.
4. t did nothing to my hair except giving it a limp feeling.
5. Has SLS and loads of other chemicals.
Pros :


1.   The bottle is good with a tight enough flip cap. I would re-use this to store something else while travelling.
2.    Its expiry is 3 years from the date of manufacture..i would probably use this for pedicure or something  :p
Rating- 1/5
Would I buy it again –Noooo…Never !!!
