My Hair Diary – September 2013

· · 1 Comment

So, this month also I did not really concentrate on my hair. I got a hair cut in August and now I am just trying to prevent the split ends. I did not even oil my hair religiously. Its more of a washing your hair routine after coming from the office.

I hate sleeping with oil on my hair coz it stains the pillows and everything badly. And, most of the time, I wash my hair on the weekdays so there was no time for pampering. Also, I tried to use a shampoo which was totally not suiting me. Its not worth talking about so lets skip it but it did give me hair fall while I used it.
So, once I stopped using it, my hair was back to normal. So, if you are looking to change your shampoo be very very sure. Also, I have ordered Organic Surge shampoo back again as it had suited me so well. And, I am loving the conditioner as well. I can suggest it but I am not gonna review it anytime soon.
Yes, one treatment which I gave my hair in this last month was regularly using aloevera gel on the scalp and the body of the hair instead of using any oil. Why? Well, one is for a change and second, I think the oil was weighing my hair down the next day.
But, I would absolutely suggest this aloevera gel treatment. It gives such a beautiful definition to your curls and following with a drop of oil leaves your hair bouncy and next day the hair does not even end up weighed down. And, the hair is sooooooooo soft to touch.
What products I used?
  • Conditioner – Kamini Conditioner + Organic Surge Color Protect Conditioner
  • Hair Oil – Vaadi Herbals Amla Oil
So, how is your hair doing now?

Vaadi Herbals Amla Thanda (Cool) Tail (Oil) {Product Review}

· · 2 Comments

Vaadi Herbals Amla Thanda Cool Tail Oil Product Review

I have taken quite a good time to review this product, reason being its very difficult to make out how a hair oil will behave and also because I wanted to see if it stands tall on all its claims! I have to say it more than surpasses on one of it!!
So, let me start with the smell. It smells like the typical amla oil which we are so used to smelling. And, let me be honest when I say that how it fares on the hair growth aspect is something I would not speculate since one and half month is really less to make such inferences. 
Pros
cools and relaxes the body
gives a subtle shine to the hair
gets washed off easily enough
Cons
its smell might not agree with everyone

But, it is sooooo cool. I think no other cooling oil would stand in front of it and it really helps a lot! So, its best to use in summers. When you are going to have the head bath, it feels like heaven so yes, it is amazing in that aspect. It also relieves headache and relaxes the body. It quite beats navratan oil.

My Hair Diary – August 2013

· · 10 Comments

So, August was quite a lazy time for me whether in case of skin or hair. I did practically nothing for my hair except one treatment of Lush Caca Maroon. And, the tip of the month is to apply aloevera gel to contain flyaways and frizzy hair!! Works like a charm for me 🙂 Let me put forward some of the questions I received on the last hair diary entry I had done.
Do you use any essential oils for your hair like rosemary or lavender?
Yes, actually! I have started using essential oils last year and I do very strongly believe that they have helped my hair a lot.
I love rosemary and that is my most extensively used essential oil. It has definitely helped improve the health of my hair and scalp.
Peppermint is another essential oil which is supposed to be amazing for hair growth. And, if you do get, thyme as well. I somehow have not liked any lavender essential oil till date.
Do you do the scalp treatment daily or just after every hair wash?
Well, I do believe that any scalp treatment should be done only after the hair has been freshly washed otherwise you will facilitate the hair to get even more dirtier by accumulating products on the scalp. Also, dirty scalp does not allow proper absorption of products so no point in wasting them then.
Well, there were these two questions last month! If you do have doubts, you can drop in the comments or send me mail and I shall answer them as well as post the detailed answers in the next month hair diary. And, now to the products I used.
