New year and new starts and I have again started taking care of my hair. Again the start was fresh and the first thing I did was chop off my hair to get rid of the split ends and damaged hair. I could not take a pic of my hair this time so excuse the missing pic.
Also, my 10 days travel had affected my routine a bit and the products I carried were not the regular ones. Also, I did not use conditioner for those 10 days. But, there is one important observation I want to share.
I have been oiling my hair with fingers or using this bottle which applies the oil right on the scalp. But, last year, I had also mentioned another way of oiling the hair using a cotton ball. Now, I am qualified enough to tell the difference between the two methods.
Firstly, the finger nails don’t interfere. Secondly, more pertinent to the hair fall issue, when I use cotton ball method, it does result in many hairs falling the first few times which many people have reported to me but gradually hair fall decreases. And, what I have noticed was after few weeks, only the very fine hairs used to fall, may be due to weaker roots. But, that also stops after a while.
While when I resorted to the less time taking and easy to follow routine of using fingers or the nozzled bottle, I found much hair fall while oiling and even during combing with a wide-toothed comb. This was something which had completely stopped when I was following the cotton ball method.
Products Used
- Shampoo – Kamini shampoo + Neev Olive Neem Shampoo
- Conditioner – L’Oreal Total Repair 5 + Liz Earle Botanical Shine Treatment
- Leave-in – Dove Nourishing Oil Care Serum
- Hair Oil – Kamini Oil + Sesa Herbal Oil + Patanjali Coconut Oil
Ok, don’t bother with L’Oreal Total Repair because it turns the hair really dry!! And, I think Sesa herbal oil is a good one. I bought a travel pack of it which had just 2-3 uses but it did impress me a lot 🙂 I am not gonna buy it very soon but if you are on a look out, its a good one to try.
Oh, you know what, yesterday the Dove oil bottle BROKE! I know I didn’t even get a chance to try it another time but honestly I am relieved. Now, I know the problems with glass packaging 😀 It was really messy! And, yes, I am liking Patanjali coconut oil 🙂

do review the neev shampoo.. my current shampoo is abt to get over so am in a lookout for a new sls free shampoo..
also, how would you compare patanjali oil to parachute oil?
PRanu, its just the same like soultree…i told you the prob no so its just the same.
i have never used parachute on my body so can’t compare on those grounds but otherwise its ok and inexpensive which is its USP.
Hey…thanks for the reco..will buy the sesa oil:)
lemme know if you like it 🙂
so sad about the dove oil bottle. I could totally reflect on this article as I go through the same emotions!!
yup that was sad but then the bottle was really bulky and not handy!
i soo agree with you. using cotton balls is much better than fingers. I have been thinking of getting the sesa oil..but wasn’t sure… i may now try it 🙂
btw did you change feeds or something.. i was missing them in my dashboard.. so finally googled u !
do lemme know if you try it and yes cotton balls is a little time taking but worth it 🙂 btw, sukanya, i have bought the domain so may be its because of that its not appearing in the dashboard! though, i did not change the feeds or anything as of now.
may b so… 🙁
