I ordered Pantene Oil Replacement hair cream from Nykaa few weeks back and have been using it since then. Though I haven't yet replaced my hair oil with this, however I do have to say that it has been quite a saviour for my hair, especially in current dry and cold climate. I usually use it after washing my hair; just partition my hair in half and use pea size product on each partition. I love the fruity fragrance it gives to my hair and the fact that it instantly gets absorbed without leaving any sort of oiliness or greasiness behind. Also, the product has decent consistency, hence easy to take out and apply. Often, in winters in my hurry to come out of shower as quickly as possible, I skip using conditioner after shampoo 😱😀, and this has worked well in giving instant boost and softness to my (usual dry and rough) hair. So, it gets full points on that. Often, I have used it on my dry hair and it works fine that way as well. On the downside, it has dimethicone ...

TRESemme split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner Review   Before starting with the review and my experience with TRESemme split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner, let me tell you a bit about my hair. I have a bit dry and slightly wavvy hair, that tend to become rougher in summers because of heat and humidity ( and tend to become roughest and toughest in winters because of cold and frizz!).  Anyways, probably you got the point that I am quite prone to getting split ends problem because of my hair type. I do make it a point to use my Crea clip to trim the ends of my hair every 2 months, to avoid split end growth. So, when I began using TRESemme split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner, I was quite curious to see how they fare on my hair. Did they work? Read on to know more:

Dove Elixir Hair Oil Review Price: INR 185  I got a chance to try three variants of Dove Elixir hair oil within past 3 months and I quite enjoyed using them. One thing that I absolutely loved about each Dove Elixir hair oil, was the amazingly soothing and relaxing fragrance. Each oil has its own characteristic fragrance coming from its raw material which can be easily seen in each bottle. Dove elixir hair oils have been quite light and adequately give you a spa like experience while staying in the comforts of home. Here goes my experience with each of the oils below: My Experience with Dove Elixir hair oil : Lavender and Olive Oil I began using this particular Dove Elixir hair oil mid-November last year when my skin and hair were suffering from severe dryness attack.  A bit of change in my skin care routine did the trick for my skin and for my hair, I began using this particular oil once every  2 days.  I quite liked the way both lavender an...

Many times it happens that we want to look different and special for that one particular occasion. Often it happens that we don't get time or proper facilities to give ourselves that necessary makeover. Though I have got hair makeover done before when I got my hair colored and styled at a salon for which I paid huge bucks, but it was like 2 years back and now I have my dark brown normal hair back in place.  Now, for me, being a mother of a 10 month old baby, and the fact that I live in an industrial location far away from the hustle and bustle of cities; I do have a limitation of visiting a parlor at my luxury and time. So, what should I do to look amazing on that special occasion? Thankfully I came across this website wonderlandwigs and I must say I am absolutely impressed with the wig that I got from there. Check out more details below: About Wonderland Wonderland is one of the UK's leading online Wig and Hairpiece retailers, and were recently awarded a s...

Holi Special - Hair and Skin care tips Since Holi is around the corner in India, here are some Hair and Skin care tips for the festival of colours by Dr. Blossom Kochhar, Chairperson, Blossom Kochhar Beauty Products Pvt. Ltd. Image source SKIN CARE 1.      Apply mustard oil on face, neck, ears hands and legs a day before Holi. The colour can be removed from the skin easily by this. 2.      To keep your skin safe from colours, try wearing clothes which cover the whole of your body. This way, less part of your body will come in contact of the colours. 3.      Add a bowl of curd in two tablespoons of lime juice, and apply it on the areas having colour. Then take a bath with normal or lukewarm water. This way the colour will surely go off.

With the winter in its full force, these key tips are just what you need to keep your skin radiant, glowing and protected.These tips have been given by by Dr. Blossom Kochhar, Chairperson, Blossom Kochhar Group of Companies. Check them out below: 1. Tips to look after the skin this winter season: Image source For many people, the cold clear days of winter bring more than just a rosy glow to the cheeks. They also bring uncomfortable dryness to the skin of the face, hands, and feet. For some people, the problem is worse than just a general tight, dry feeling.  The skin turns extremely dry, resulting in flaking, cracking and even eczema. • Moisturise : You may have found a moisturiser that works just fine in spring and summer.  But as weather conditions change, your skin care routine must also alter.  Get an "ointment" moisturiser that's oil-based, rather than water-based, as the oil will create a protective layer on the skin that retains more moisture than a...
