| is my hair looking rough or is it the lighting??? I washed it without using conditioner but my hair is damn soft to touch even if its not looking like that!! |
Oh my gosh!! I can’t really believe the year is coming to an end and yeah, I know I am gonna bore you with the countdown. I don’t know why but something is in the air and its exciting and its making me happy even without me knowing what’s there!!
- No DIY – Honestly, I have not done any DIY on my hair in terms of hair masks and I have mostly used all kinds of products on my hair but these days, its so soft and heavenly to touch. I truly love my hair with all its faults.
- DIET – Ok, one thing which has helped my hair is DIET. Very, very important to eat properly. I am not on a weight-loss regime and I haven’t started eating healthy. If you remember, I had mentioned that my diet had suffered a lot last year and it showed on my face, my body and my hair as well. Yes, it is very important to eat healthy and breakfast is important. I shall do a post separately on it.
- Hair Cuts – Another thing is I have had a lot of hair cuts this year. One very important observation I have made is that I have had a lot of split ends this year even with regular hair cuts. The only difference between this year and last year is the homemade hair masks and deep conditioning treatments I had done on my hair. So, I can positively say that JUST oiling and regularly conditioning and using an SLS free shampoo is not gonna help your hair at all. Deep conditioning and homemade hair masks do help. Since, I haven’t used any professional salon range products, I can’t say if they help or not.
- I have started to use Jojoba and Grapeseed oil for hair growth but its been just two or three times I have used so obviously can’t say!!
- I have been very regular this month with oiling and washing regime both in Delhi and Hyderabad. I have been using more or less many products on the hair but it hasn’t suffered 🙂
Products Used
- Hair Oil – Auravedic Restructuring Hair Oil + Kamini Hair Oil + Mom made + The Body Shop Polynesian Monoi Oil
- Shampoo – Kamini Shampoo
- Conditioner – L’Oreal Total Repair 5 + Liz Earle Botanical Shine Treatment + Dove Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner
I used Kamini hair oil and mom made oil at Delhi and finished Auravedic one this month and before last wash this month, I used Polynesian Monoi Oil (review coming soon). I am totally loving Kamini shampoo, in fact!!
 |
| this time I used the conditioner and leave-in as well and that’s my messy side-braid night look 😀 |
It really keeps my hair soft and prevents dryness. And, not loving the conditioner but finishing it 🙁 I am also starting to use the Dove Nourishing Oil Care Serum from this month.

they are looking lil rough in the first pic.. love the messy braid.. bdw what’s the recipe of mom’s oil..?
ya, they are looking rough 🙁 but, they aren’t really rough to touch!!! have to do something for the hair now. oh mom’s oil is damn elaborate recipe…can share it only when i sit with mom n write down everything…it has some about 30 herbs!!!
Hey Swati, you are right. In the first pic, your hair does look dry .. but I think its mainly the light. In the second pic, your hair looks like its own beautiful self, with natural curls and totally moisturized. And the side braid is super cute .. you should wear it in the day time too 🙂
ya second to was really well moisturized 🙂 but, then, i applied conditioner and then leave-in so may be that helped as well. thanks for the braid 😀
It does look dry, your hair, in pic one..but looks shiny in pic 2.
Yea please share mom oil recipe!
sure will share it soon, Varsha, after i get the entire ingredient list from mom 😀
i love your hair diaries..yes they are looking bit dry but soft as well ..you have mentioned four oils here so each time do you apply a different oil and i wanna know why you do it…and touch wood you are lucky that loreal,dove etc work for you..
haha…no i don’t apply different oil…see, when i was in delhi, i have this kamini hair oil a bit of it left there so was trying to finish it up but mom’s oil was so tempting that used that for the second time n then when i came back, i wanted to finish the auravedic one which got finished and then i used the body shop thing!!!
nah…i feel l’oreal is drying out my hair but i donno if i should finish it or not..i don’t like wasting any product!!! in fact dove also dried out my hair 🙁
Rough look suits you and those are better. And seriously they don’t look soft.. :/
thanks!
Nice trick! Your hair looks lovely. To make my hair soft, I use Coconut & Ricemilk Hot Oil in my hair and believe me it works really well. I’m looking forward to your tip too. 🙂
great to know that 🙂
Hi..someone had recommended me Kamini aunty’s hair treatment n I was looking for reviews online n came across ur blog..amazing job i must say..u r quite regular wid it too..i just hope her treatment works for me..coz my hair fall gets worse after applying oil..n it starts thinning with length..but i wz kinda doubtful coz like u sed the ingredients r not known. Guess ll give it a shot though.
hey Gunjan…thanks a lot for your kind words and I would like to welcome to the blog…I am sorry I didn’t reply before…I was travelling! do give it shot but you are right that the ingredients are not revealed which is a huge downside 🙁
So do the oils and treatments offered by Kamini cure alopecia and premature graying in a girl’s hair?. Am not from Delhi but an definitely contact her if you could let me know about this Swati.
Thanks! Z
hi Z…i have no idea if it treats apolepcia and graying. they do say the oil helps with gray hair as well but i don’t know personally. and, regd. apolepcia, i would suggest you to go to a doc for proper treatment.
