Himalaya Protein Hair Cream

As promised, I had said I would be doing a review on all the products I got from India. I wanted to wait a few times after using this product to do a proper review rather than just using it once or twice. 

I have very long hair, and I had posted a picture of my hair before so I make sure I use proper products to maintain my hair. I came across this product when I was searching for things I could get by Himalaya. I currently use their Neem Shampoo which I love and it prevents hair fall. 

Changes I saw in my hair:

• Less fall out;
• softer hair;
• hair actually felt stronger;
• silkier and shinier after putting it on an hr before washing.

However, I am not a huge fan of the smell. I can only use this product before washing and not after washing as is recommended on the packaging. The strong is overbearing and its not something I like to wear and smell all day long. 

Another negative point is the actual consistency of the product, its somewhat thick and sticky which makes it quite difficult to put on your hair and place it evenly throughout. 

Would I be purchasing the product? Maybe not, I think there are better products out there that do the same job. 

Organix Moroccon Argan Oil Conditioner controversy

I bought the new Moroccon Argan Oil conditioner. I haven't used it yet so the review should be up soon. 

However, you will see below that the bottle has additional stickers on it which covers the 'Sulphate Free and Paraben Free' signs....I have a feeling that these products in fact have sulphates and parabens. I went to the website to see whether they still stated these products are sulphate free and they stated they are.

This rare formula has a centuries-old history of providing natural vitamin E and antioxidants while renewing your hair’s cell structure, sealing in shine, and creating lush softness.Luxurious Sulfate Free & Paraben Free Formulas • Organic Active Ingredients • Amazing Scents • Safe For Color-Treated Hair • Safe For All Hair Types 

I'm not sure whether to believe the website and assume they are sulphate free when they have stickers on the bottle. Clearly this is misleading and deceptive conduct. If these products actually have sulphates and parabens they should change the details on their website to avoid complaints and lawsuits!

A Deep Nourishing Hot Oil Treatment is what your hair needs...

I spotted this Hot Oil Treatment by VO5 in the shopping isles and I had to get it. As most of you who follow  my blog know I am a sucker for all things hair. Because I am growing my  hair out it requires alot of TLC. This product claims to rescue hair within 1 minute.

I thought Id add in a photo of my hair and how long it is. I know its hard to really understand where I am coming from when I say my hair needs TLC without you actually seeing the results.

Its a very small tube and before you open it you need to either leave it in a bowl of hot water (in order for the oil to become hot) or leave it in your shower (which is what I tend to do- saves time and water).

So does this product actually work? To be honest, 1 minute seems like a  very small amount of time to actually reconstruct my hair. BUT youll be suprised with the results. My hair definitely liked this product (I have already used 2 tubes, it comes with 4 in a pack). I noticed a significant change in breakages straight after. Usually I have to be very careful at not pulling, combing or drying my hair because I tend to get alot of breakages. However, with the use of this  product my hair felt stronger AND was more flexible without breaking.

Would I purchase this product again? Yes, I would. I wouldnt purchase it straight after finishing this packet but I would definitely go buy it when I need it. Im saving the last two tubes because I will be travelling at the end of the year and my hair gets damaged through the flying and travelling so I definitely need some Hair TLC then.

What would I rate this product? I would definitely give this product a 4/5 stars. The reasons are for its:

• 1 minute results
• excellent packaging
• visible results

Have any of you used this product? What are your thoughts?

John Frieda Collection- Luxurious Volume REVIEW

Have you ever wanted gorgeous voluminous luxurious hair? I do/did. My hair has the tendancy to become what we girls call 'flat' after the second day of washing. Im a huge believer of only washing your hair every 2/3 days. So, wanting gorgeous hair everyday would mean it is impossible right? Wrong.

I came across this product line from John Frieda. I was actually out on the search for his other collection 'root awakening'. But when I stumbled across this product line, I had to have it.

First Use
I was so excited to use the products, that I used them the day I got it. The shampoo wasn't that great, it didnt lather and I ended up having to go back for more and more product. The conditioner was nice and creamy and applied easily. I can't say I enjoyed the smell as compared to the many other hair care ranges I've tried but was reasonable.

After washing, I towel dried my hair and applied the "Lavish Lift Root Booster" (in the 3rd photo). I applied this all over my roots and on the top. I then left my hair to air dry for 15 mins. I then blow dried my hair- flipping my hair upside down to increase the volume at the roots.

The end result
Ok, to be truthful it definitely did add volume to my hair. AND IT WAS SO SOFT! I loved the feeling of it being so light and fluffy. A downside of the product, was that my hair became a bit 'too fluffly' like it was like a 'poof', I had to straighten my hair to calm the tresses down.

However, I will definitely be using this product when I want that extra lift at the roots!

Rating
I'd rate this product a 3/5 stars

What do you guys use to volumise your  hair?

Moroccanoil treatment for hair

I know its been a while since I did my last post, but ive been up to my eyeballs in work and assignments! Finally the weekend is here and I get a chance to do a breather.

I went out this week and bought the Morrocanoil Hair Treatment because I had been hearing alot of good reviews on youtube and other blogs. It cost a hand and a leg ($50), I usually don't like to spend so much on hair products because I feel like youll be washing it out anyway. But I had alot of success with the Macademia Healing Oil Treatment (pic below) so I decided to see what all the fuss about this product was about.

First Impressions: The smell is not as great as the Macademia Healing Oil. The consistency is much thinner so it feels much lighter on your hair when youre applying it (you apply it on damp hair like the Macademia). After my hair dried, my hair felt so soft and so silky! It was amazing! It was a great result and I am very happy with the product but I have to say the Macademia Healing Oil Treatment produces the same results and a much cheaper price.

There may be a difference in continuous use, so after using it a few more times I'll post my latest review on the product.

Shiny Hair :)
