Bye Bye Dandruff, Hello Smooth Hair!

Hi friends! Winters and dandruff have always had a simultaneous occurrence in my life. I tend to get dandruff very easily hence I do opt for a weekly headwash with Head & Shoulders to cleanse my scalp of all buildup that actually caused dandruff.

Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 Smooth and Silky

For the past few weeks I've been regularly using the new Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 Smooth & Silky and liked it enough to share a quick review with you all.


Price: Rs 310 (360 mL) - buy online for Rs 263

The packaging is just the same as the standard Smooth & Silky shampoo. A flip top makes dispensing the right amount of product easy while in the shower.

Pantene Hair Fall Control Shampoo & Conditioner Review - 14DayChallenge!

About two weeks back I took up a challenge to try out Pantene Hair Fall Control Shampoo and Conditioner. I have been neglecting my hair and as a result my hair is dying with lots of split ends and broken in-betweens.

Pantene Hair Fall Control Shampoo & Conditioner Review - 14DayChallenge!

I was more than glad to take up the challenge. I will share a review of both of these products. First as part of the challenge was an initial impression where I had to use a regular shampoo and conditioner on half my hair and the new Pantene Hair Fall Control on the other half.

Pantene Hair Fall Control Shampoo & Conditioner Review - 14DayChallenge!

First let me tell you about my initial experience. The shampoo and conditioner come packaged in the standard Pantene shampoo bottles with the flip top cap.

Pantene Hair Fall Control Shampoo & Conditioner Review - 14DayChallenge!

Price: Rs 110 (180 ml) [available online HERE]

Both the shampoo as well as conditioner smell amazing. Its a mix of fruity and floral, extremely pleasant to my nose. The shampoo lathers well and a small amount is enough for the scalp and I use a   little dollop for the length of my hair.

Hair Challenge With Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition - Update

Hi friends, if you all remember I had taken up a months challenge to try out the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition range in an attempt to restore some sense to my mane. My main challenge was to help restore my damaged hair that had become unduly frizzy with the changing weather.

Its been a month of regular use of both the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition shampoo and conditioner.

Hair Challenge With Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition - Update

I love the amazing fragrance and the after feel that this shampoo & conditioner give. You can read the review of the product after I used it earlier in the post Garnier-Fructis-Triple-Nutrition-Review.

Now lets see whether I was able to get any success after a month long challenge. So just like my initial review with the shampoo and conditioner, my hair feels smooth after every use of the shampoo and conditioner. My hair is more manageable, feels less unruly and is softer to touch. I have also recently got some hair highlights which can leave the hair drier but so far my hair is not complaining.

You can buy the shampoo and conditioner online HERE

The conditioner leaves a very pleasant after smell in the hair. It also helps me comb through my hair more easily. In the picture below you can see my hair dried naturally after a wash with the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition shampoo and conditioner. The hair has been hand combed.

My Hair Story - The Strong And Smooth Hair Challenge

At the start of the year I posted about a shampoo that Garner launched sometime late last year. The summery fresh bottles in a bright yellow. I am talking about the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition shampoo and conditioner. Both have the wonderful signature fragrance found in all Garnier Fructis products.

My Hair Story - The Strong And Smooth Hair Challenge

I normally keep switching between different hair products, a few washes with one shampoo followed by another. Recently with the change in weather my hair has again started misbehaving. And I am struggling with hair fall, a weird frizziness and basically hair that feels damaged.

So I have decided to take on a challenge - I am going to regularly use the shampoo and conditioner from Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition range. My goal is that at the end of this month I should get back my soft hair which I can style without any worries. I love to let my hair lose and just put a clutch clip for work. But lately I have had to tie it up in a bun so that I don't have a back full of fallen hair strands. Winters are awful as all hair strands that fall off love to cling on to your best sweater. It feels awful. That is why I've been tying my hair up into a bun. No lose hair, no hair fall.

I am hoping by the end of February I will be able to leave my hair open again.

Wish me luck!

L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo And Conditioner Review

Hello everyone, today I'm reviewing the L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo And Conditioner. There is another product - the 6 Oil Nourish oil that I've used as well but that I will review in a separate post.

L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo And Conditioner Review

Both the L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo and Conditioner come in similar looking bottles with flip caps. While the shampoo bottle cap is on the top the conditioner cap is at the bottom (so that the conditioner flows to the cap while it stands and its easier to dispense it when required).

L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish range has been "created to provide complete nourishment to your hair from root to tip with 6 Micro Oils™making it soft, shiny, thick, strong, smooth and manageable"

L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo And Conditioner Review

I found both the shampoo and conditioner to be quite good. The fragrance is nice and they do leave my hair quite manageable. But I am not as impressed as I thought I would be. And that is because there is no change in the frizz of my hair. For me that shows unhealthy hair so while the claim about soft and manageable hair is true I do wish this could control the frizz.

The range says you can use the conditioner on the roots of your hair - I personally do not like putting conditioner on the roots as it makes my hair oily too soon (within half a day of washing). But this surprisingly does not make the hair oily even after 24 hours. I do not apply this on the scalp - from roots I mean as close to the scalp as I can get without putting the product on the scalp.

The shampoo lathers very well. And the conditioner leaves my hair feeling very soft and they tangle less. It is actually the 6 Oil Nourish hair oil which helps in taming the frizz and more about that in the next post.

L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo And Conditioner Review

6 Oil Nourish Shampoo Price: Rs 369 (640 ml)
6 Oil Nourish Conditioner Price: Rs 150 (175 ml)
You can buy these HERE

My rating for this duo would be a 4/5

What product are you using these days to tame your frizziness or just to keep your tresses looking gorgeous?

Love Long Hair Blind Test - The Secret Is OUT!!!!

I knew the smell was familiar but silly me couldn't guess the brand!!! Well its no longer a secret - the blind test shampoo and conditioner we've been calling Love Long Hair is actually from Garnier - its the new Garnier Fructis Long & Strong which promises 12X stronger hair.

The Love Long Hair Blind Test - Update Part 2

So after about 7 washes with the Love Long Hair shampoo and conditioner I have another update for you all before the actual name gets revealed (I am super anxious to know what it is!!)

The Love Long Hair Blind Test - Update Part 2

While I love the softness it imparts, the volume it gives, I am not liking that my hair becomes frizzy a day after using the shampoo and conditioner. I do not oil my hair so I love the softness I get after using this. I think my hair is not liking the conditioner too much - I ready somewhere that hair can change texture with too much SLES so maybe that is causing the frizz. I think once the weather moves on to the summer months I need to revisit this duo. Again its too early to comment whether my hair has become long or not but it surely feels good to touch. I know others who look at my mane must be thinking whats wrong with me!

So I've adjusted that by using a light serum the day after washing. Two days after the wash it becomes very manageable even without the serum. Its actually surprising that the hairfall I noticed in the initial use of the shampoo-conditioner is no longer there - so yay! I was a bit scared if I would be able to continue this blind test or not but now I can say I am happily finishing off the bottles that I have.

Sorry I haven't been able to click pictures of the actual shampoo and conditioner since they landed up in the bathroom right after I  opened the packaging to click the initial pics. Both are white, shampoo is a bit runny as compared to the thick conditioner.

The reveal of the Love Long Hair shampoo and conditioner happens very soon. I will update you as soon as I have the information in hand :)

Sunsilk Natural Recharge Shampoo & Conditioner - Review

Hi friends, I'm a bit late in doing this post but as they say better late than never, this is one shampoo and conditioner duo that I simply fell in love with, ok not me its my hair - my hair loves it, behaves well when I use it and thus keeps me happy in return. I am talking about Sunsilk Natural Recharge Shampoo & Conditioner.

Sunsilk Natural Recharge Shampoo & Conditioner - Review

I was sent this amazingly packed hamper by indiblogger - I love the logo of the girl with her thick strong hair flowing away - that is the dream of every girl for sure!!!

This shampoo - conditioner duo is co created by Jamal Hammadi who is a hair expert. Starting with the packaging - it is a lovely pale green packaging which is so soothing to look at, reminds me of vast oceans on a lovely spring day!

Sunsilk Natural Recharge Shampoo & Conditioner - Review

The shampoo and conditioner do contain SLES but most of the ones that I use do so I'm not really against this ingredient in my hair care products so long as the effect is not negative.

Sunsilk Natural Recharge Shampoo & Conditioner - Review

Both the products smell amazing (I think all Sunsilk products do - remember the earlier keratinology range that I was head over heels in love with - you can check out the review HERE)

Sunsilk Natural Recharge Shampoo & Conditioner - Review

Coming to what my experience with these products is - LOVE - that sums it up. My hair feels amazingly smooth, healthy and bouncy. It just feels like life has been injected into them. My sister's been using this since the first bottles landed in her market and she was the first one to recommend this to me. My hair is dry but I have an oily scalp - this duo simply balances everything out and makes my hair oh-so-manageable. Everyone in the family who has tried it out has loved it. The Ginseng Root & Oil is surely working its magic. 

Sunsilk Natural Recharge Shampoo & Conditioner - Review

If you are fed up of your old hair care products, if you need to add life to your hair or if you simply just want the best - try this out. 

Price : Rs 132 for 180 ml (shampoo), Rs 64 for 80 ml (conditioner)

I would like to thank SUNSILK for coming out with something that really works so well.

Happy hair is half the battle won when it comes to a tough day - so recharge your hair today, everyday!!!!

Up For A Blind Test - Love Long Hair Range Shampoo & Conditioner

A week ago I was contacted by a lady with a sweet voice over the phone asking if I was up for a blind test of a shampoo and conditioner - I would not be told about the brand and other qualities of the products. I know a lot of you would be skeptical about trying stuff like that but me, I am a bit crazy like that - I said sure why not! And today I was surprised with a little box that had a logo saying 'Love Long Hair' (long hair - me wants!!!)

Up For A Blind Test - Love Long Hair

Up For A Blind Test -  Love Long Hair Range Shampoo & Conditioner

The box contains a small bottle of both shampoo and conditioner. Now my hair is at its worst right now so I do hope this blind test of mine works out for the best. I start my blind test tomorrow (yes I am a bit superstitious and don't wash my hair on a Saturday!)

L'oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X Shampoo and Conditioner - Review

This is a quick review of the L'oreal Paris Fall Repair 3x Shampoo and Conditioner. I thought I'd review them together as I've been using them together and have some points to mention here.

L'oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X Shampoo and Conditioner - Review

So to begin with we take a look at the packaging - a lovely combo of black and purple, both the shampoo and conditioner come in the same packaging. While the shampoo stands on the bottom of the bottle, the conditioner stands on its cap to ensure its easy to take out the conditioner which is thicker in consistency.

L'oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X Shampoo and Conditioner - Review

The fragrance of the shampoo and conditioner is something most girls would simply love. A fruity floral combo that simply engulfs you in a lovely fragrant world as you shower.

L'oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X Shampoo and Conditioner - Review

The shampoo comes at Rs 69 for 75 ml while the conditioner is priced a little higher at Rs 80 for 90gm. Ingredients of both are clearly mentioned on the back of the pack.

Hair Products Put to Test

Living in an area where the water supply is mainly hard water spells doom for your lovely tresses. In my fight against hair fall and split ends I finally put to test several shampoos, conditioners and hair masks to come up with a few that I really liked.

Coming up in the week ahead will be detailed reviews of these products. One by one as I showcase the goodness that I have found. Some will have their flaws but they all worked in one way or the other.
