Current Haircare Routine & Tips For Long Hair- February 2015

Hello beauties!

It has been almost a year since I posted my last haircare routine so I thought of posting an updated version. I have always had thick long hair with oily scalp and dry ends. Last year my hair stylist chopped off a little more length than I had actually asked for. I was determined to make it grow as fast as possible and by taking extra care my hair did grow back to its regular length in 6 months! This time the growth was faster and healthier..lets see how!

L'Oreal Hair Spa Deep Nourishing Shampoo Review

Hey Everyone,

Today I am going to share with you a product which is not much talked about in the beauty world. It is the L'Oreal Hair Spa Deep Nourishing Shampoo with water lily formulated especially for dry hair. Honestly speaking I had only heard of  L'Oreal Hair Spa Olive Oil, reviewed here . The moment I saw this shampoo for sale in my salon I knew I had to try it. I asked the Salon guys for a quick review on it as I couldnt find much about the product online. They said,  'Mam customers love it so much that they keep coming to buy a new bottle as soon as their old one gets finished'.  Okay so now I really had to buy it, and it is mint colored too! See how I justify my temptations ;)

Rose Water Massage: Pamper Your Hair

'I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck,' Emma Goldman

I have thick long hair which demands alot of attention. So, I am always on the lookout of ways by which I can make my hair heathier. Rose Water has a common and rather irreplaceable place in almost every Indian household. Apart from being a fantastic toner for our skin, it also contains properties which are great for our hair. Rose water treats scalp irritations and dandruff. With regular application it also delivers shine and solves the problem of hair loss. Unfortunately, we do not have access to Rose Water Hair Tonic in India, all we have is the regular skin toners. I refrain from using these skin toners on my hair as they contain preservatives. I prefer making my own Rose Water, as it is very easy and fresh. Lets see how I go about it.

Gently wash the roses, and put it in boiling water. For 2 cups of water use around 3-4 big roses.

L'oreal Hair Spa Olive Oil~ worth a shot?

Hello dolls! The post today was requested by some of my readers a while back when I posted my current haircare routine . It took me so much time to post my review as I really wanted to be sure of what I think.
One can use the Loreal Hair Spa Olive oil as a hair oil or as a leave in. Apart from olive oil, this oil also contains vitamin e and natural flower oil.
price- Rs 250 for 100 ml

Loreal Smooth Intense Serum Review: Nice or Not?

Hair serums have been a part of my life since i dont even remember! Today, a hair serum has become more of a necessity to me, I just cant imagine life without it. I have super long hair which gets entangled alot, hence i am always on the lookout for a non-oily hair serum which can be used on dry hair before combing.
In the beginning I used to use Loreal Professional Hair serums as suggested by my hair stylist. But these were so expensive that I could not use it on a day to day basis.

price- Rs 240 for 100ml

The Loreal Paris Smooth Intesnse Serum is thick but gets absorbed quickly. It is non-greasy and has a pleasant smell. 

The hair serum can be used on dry as well as wet hair. It detangles the hair quite well, leaving it smooth. The only problem I have with the hair serum is that i dont find the effects to be long lasting, I reach for it every time I have to comb my hair. But I dont mind using it often as the product is decently priced, and seems to do no harm to my hair (it contains argan oil). Also my hair ends are dry, so I dont face the problem of it making my hair oily. 

pros-

• detangles hair 
• makes hair smooth
• pleasant smell
• contains argan oil
• less hair breakage 
• decently priced
• easily available

cons-

• effects are not long lasting

Last Words-

Overall, I think The loreal smooth intense serum is a great buy. It is decently priced and at the same time it is effective. This is my 3rd bottle, and I am definitely buying it again!

Protein Pack And Chopsticks For Hair?

Hello everyone!

It so funny that sometimes we spend so much time and money on hair treatments in the beauty parlour when, most of the beneficial products for hair are lying around in our kitchen! I, as a person never enjoyed visiting salons. Instead i like doing things on my own at home, i even lately learnt how to do my own eyebrows in order to avoid regular salon visits. 

Also i am not much of a diy person, i prefer readymade things which are effective. Just the other day, i came across a hair protein pack and the name itself excited me! I love pampering my hair with oils, and  various kinds of masks to give it nourishment.

When people ask me what i do for my hair, i always say that i refrain from using unnecassary chemicals and heat. Infact I am in my mid twenties and till date i have not considered coloring it. 

The ingredients mentioned in this protein pack is quite appealing.

All ingredients mentioned in the product are known to me, excepting, kausini-bindi. Do any of you know what it means? Do share in the comments below if you are familiar with it. 

Okay so green gram (sprouts), fenugreek (methi), badam (almonds) and curry leaves (kadi patta) are known for fostering hair growth and reducing hairfall.Curry leaves are further known even to prevent premature hair greying.All these ingredients are excellent for our hair. 

Coming to my personal experience with the protein pack, I will have to say that it was a good one. The product comes in a yellow powdery form which has to be diluted and soaked in water for 10 minutes before application. The packaging and fragrance of the pack is nothing fancy. It smells like regular herbs and has a cooling effect on the scalp after application. The smell of the product stays on even after hair wash. 

I left the product for 20 minutes on my hair and then cleansed it twice with my regular shampoo. I also followed up with a regular hair mask from a drugstore brand. The result of this treatment was lovely. My hair was looking smooth and had a healthy shine to it. Yes, i was getting compliments on air dryed hair!!

pros-

easy to use

deeply nourishing

gives smooth and shine

no chemicals

very reasonably priced

cons-

simple packaging

fragrance stays after hair wash

last words-

Overall, i really think that this hair pack is deeply nourishing for the hair and i recommend it to everyone for lusciously long locks. It is quite early for me to comment regarding it fostering hair growth or not, but I am sure with the ingredients mentioned in the pack, hair growth will take place. 

Also, i recently got a gift from Japan, Chopsticks! 

Since i cant figure out how to eat with them. I decided to use them for creating a bun. It sounds strange i know, but looks super duper feminine! 

Have you ever used chopsticks on your hair? And do share what you think of protein packs.. xoxo!
