Hair and Care Fruit Oils - Review

How many of you regularly oil your hair, raise your hand!

Well I should go hide under a table for not being very religious about using hair oil. 

Since time immemorial grandmothers and mothers have been telling their daughters the importance of using hair oil. Hair oil nourishes your hair from inside out ensuring it stays soft and manageable. Some people find oiling time consuming, others don't like the stickiness you get with the oils, and some others, well they are basically lazy like me!

Hair & Care hair oils have always been a preference if I had to chose a hair oil simply for the fact that their hair oils are not sticky and heavy like some other oils. And now that they came out with fruit based hair oils I got curious. We all know that fruits are loaded with vitamins, proteins, and a host of other nutrients. Hair & Care has infused their hair oils with this goodness of fruits - a first in the market of hair oils!

Hair & Care fruit oils come in two variants with a combination of fruits chosen specifically to target special hair needs. 
The Green variant is loaded with the real goodness of Olive, Mosambi, and Green Apple.The Orange variant is loaded with the real goodness of Orange, Anaar (pomegranate), and Strawberry. 

These unique fruit combinations work best together to moisturize and energize hair.

Price: Rs 60 (100 ml)

Olives helps in seal in the moisture of the hair and protect the keratin. This is due to the high content of Vitamin A, E and antioxidants.

Mosambi has vitamins that help strengthen hair so that you have less split ends and also frees hair of dandruff,

Green Apple helps promote hair growth.

Oranges have numerous benefits from every part of the fruit including pulp, juice and the peel. It acts as a natural conditioner. 

Anaar strengthens the hair and gives it a natural shine owing to the essential fatty acids and punicic acid.

Strawberries contain antioxidants that provide moisture, add shine and smoothen the hair.

The oil comes in a plastic bottle with a flip top cap. This makes the packaging travel friendly.

Both variants do have a distinct fragrance but after a hair wash the smell goes away. The oil is light in texture yet oily enough to be used for a deep massage. The best way to use any hair oil is to massage it into your scalp gently using the fingers. Then take a hot towel and wrap it around your head for half an hour. Post this you can let the oil rest for another half an hour before washing your hair.

I don't find the need to use a conditioner on days when I've given my head a good massage with these oils. Hair feels more manageable and looks healthier. Since this oils is light in texture you can use 2-3 drops post hair wash to make any frizz settle down.

Overall these oils are quite affordable. Some people might find the fragrance a bit overpowering but since it doesn't last after the hair wash you can still use the oil for a massage.

New Dabur Amla Hair Oil Endorsed By Priyanka Chopra & Sonakshi Sinha

Dabur is known for its hair oil since time immemorial (or so it seems!) I have always seen a bottle of Dabur hair oil in my house ever since I was a little girl. (I had reviewed the Dabur Vatika Amla Hair Oil HERE).

New Dabur Amla Hair Oil Endorsed By Priyanka Chopra & Sonakshi Sinha

Dabur has come out with a new Amla hair oil bottle that comes with a tamper proof flip top. This is to ensure that it locks 100% nourishment and enables easy flow of oil in comparison to earlier bottle with a removable cap. This also means that you can have greater control on the quantity that you dispense making it easy to use.

Another feather in the cap for Dabur Amla hair oil is that it is now endorsed not only by Priyanka Chopra but the by Sonakshi Sinha as well. Both ladies with gorgeous hair are now brand ambassadors for this nourishing hair oil.

L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil - Review

In the last post I spoke about my experience with the shampoo and conditioner from the L'Oreal Paris 6-Oil Nourish range (you can read it HERE). Today I'll tell you about the L'Oreal Paris 6-Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil.

L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil - Review

L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish hair oil is termed as 'extraordinary' because it "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. Almond Oil –Makes your hair Thick Coconut Oil – Makes your hair Manageable. Argan Oil –Gives your hair Strength. Jojoba Oil –Gives you Shiny hair Olive Oil – Makes your hair Soft. Camelina Oil –Smoothens your hair."

The oil comes in a golden-orange bottle which is made of glass (a big NO-NO for oil bottles - it is so easy to let this slip out of your hands while applying oil!) But otherwise the bottle looks quite nice. The hair oil has a slight fragrance to it as well. You need only a small amount if you have an oily scalp like mine and the little mouth of the bottle makes sure you don't spill out too much.

L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil - Review

I am not a regular hair-oil person. In fact only recently have I started using oil once or twice a month. But I like this hair oil for one reason - I can use this as an after wash serum and it helps tame the frizz in my hair without making it look like an oil factory.

L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil - Review

Also when I use this oil for about half an hour before washing my hair with the L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Shampoo and Conditioner - my hair feels super duper soft and shiny.

Price: Rs 199 (100ml)

I would rate this hair oil as a 4.5/5 because it does its job very well. I am taking off a .5 because I'm not really in agreement with this 'extraordinary' claim. I would have called it extraordinary if it would have completely rid my hair of all my hair woes (hair fall, split ends, frizz - on a permanent basis!)
