How To Color Your Hair With Godrej Nupur Coconut Henna Crème Hair Color - Review

Hair colouring was originally done only to hide greys. But today even as more and more people are opting for hair colour as a means to add dimension and a new life to their hair, still a lot of us are sceptical.

Now with Godrej Nupur Coconut Henna Crème Hair Color, there is a way to beautifully care for your hair while colouring it. Godrej has launched this new hair color at a super affordable price, and in four different shades with the goodness of coconut and henna. The shades available are Natural Black, Natural Brown, Dark Brown and Burgundy.

Each packet contains one color sachet and one developer sachet.
Price: Rs 39 (20gm+20ml)

The formula is non-dripping and ammonia free. An allergy test is still recommended because some people are perennially allergic to any hair colorant no matter how safe the product is.

 I do have greying and opt for hairstyles that help to hide the grey areas.  The first time I applied hair color was in the form of highlights I got done at the Lakme Salon. I am really scared of colouring my hair whatsoever. But now that the highlights are wearing off the hair is turning lighter. To try out the Godrej Nupur Coconut Henna Crème Hair Color I decided to color the fading areas and get them to look normal again. For longer hair, you would need 2-3 packs,  but if you are touching up specific areas then one is sufficient.

Lakme #HairIsFashion 'Show Stopping Hair' Makeover

Hi friends, if you follow me on twitter you must have read my tweet about how I was scared about getting highlights done to my hair since I have never colored my hair before. Well that day I was actually sitting at the Lakme Salon Punjabi Bagh (New Delhi) to try out the 'Show Stopping Hair' experience that Lakme has launched. These are hair styles that you can get done for yourself which are as stylish as hair that you see on the  fashion runways! As they say #HairIsFashion

There are three prominent hair coloring trends being offered:

The Aubern Blend - this is a bold colored look where streaks of red color pop out from your hair.

The Helix Flair - a combination of golden highlights and a bit of color with asymmetrical cuts.

The Pixie Crop - for short haired girls this one has bright hues of brown and orange throwing in the right amount of texture to stylize your hair.

After a consulation with my stylist Mr Suresh I was coaxed into getting the Helix Flair done. Yes I say coaxed because I really wanted to play safe with the Aubern blend - I kept telling him that I only wanted a deep burgundy done in the Aubern blend style. But he explained to me why he was suggesting the Helix Flair. My hair is wavy and jet black. He told me a burgundy color won't show up properly and that getting caramel brown highlights on my black hair would really soften the look and stand out without giving me a drastic appearance change. He spoke to me about my professional profile and understood my apprehension in getting a drastic change done. He also said that burgundy looks better on slightly deeper skin tones and a golden would go well with my skin tone.

See the below picture - this is the Helix Flair - you can understand why I was so skeptical about this - it is drastic as compared to always having lived with black hair!

So, after a lot of discussion and cajoling, I finally gave in and let him do his work. He showed me this entire book of possible hair colors that we could work with and the perfect golden shades for my hair. As they say sometimes its better to leave things in the hand of experts.

Truth About Hair Coloring

Yesterday at an event hosted by Wella International Studio I got to interact with Maria Castan, a senior scientist with Proctor & Gamble, Germany.

Wella International Studio - Truth About Hair Color

Here are some facts that will help you all decide if you want to get your hair colored.

1. Ammonia free hair colors usually contain MEA(Monoethanolamine) - a product that is needed in a higher concentration to provide the color coverage that only a small amount of ammonia can. And MEA does not evaporate like ammonia does - the result - more damage to your hair in the long term even if you are seeing better short term benefits like no smell during coloring.

The Truth Behind Hair Color

I have personally always shied away from using hair color - the reason - I'm scared that the amount of hair fall I have will worsen and so will other hair problems.

Wella promises to answer all such concerns and enlighten us on the truths behind hair color. I will be participating in a meet up with Maria Castan, a Senior Scientist at Procter & Gamble from Darmstadt, Germany. If you girls have any questions or concerns regarding hair color then here is your chance - just drop in your comments to this post and I will make sure I get answers to all of them for you.
