I've been experimenting with hair colours for the longest time now and have tried everything from caramel to honey and burgundy to mahogany. So when I was sent this new kid on the block I got really excited to try specially because it said ammonia free. I have been using L'Oreal for the past few years and let me admit it does no wonders to my hair that others didn't do. Thus finding out about a new range of hair colour at the fraction of its price was

 pleasantly surprising!!!!

 My Experience:

 Having tried so many brands and shades I finally stopped at dark brown and although my natural hair colour is light brown, the dark brown seems to have taken over my natural shade a bit too well. So much so that now when I apply even a lighter shade it doesn't show up well. So my choices of the hair colour shade were dominated by this fact. I didn't want to go all dark brown which would make no difference and neither did I felt like going for lighter ones as they just wouldn't show up. Owing to this dilemma,I ended up choosing the shade Deep Burgundy.

 The packaging was very chic and convenient given the price bracket it falls in. It includes the colourant, developer and shine tonic. They also provided a pair of gloves which was cherry on the cake.

I mixed up the contents as per the instructions and applied it. I wanted a global wash off colour thus till more than half of the content. I applied it evenly from root to tip and waited for 30min. And washed it off and applied my conditioner.

The difference in the light is doing a bit of injustice to the image. I wanted to click the before and after picture at the same spot in daylight but the timing made the after one a bit more bright!I really loved the fact that it didn't dry my already dry hair, infact the shine tonic actually made them smooth and shiny. The red tinge is visible only in the sun though but that's nothing to do with the product. It covered grey perfectly well and stood better and longer than its costlier counterparts in the market.

  I'm really happy with the result and would recommend it!!

Hair Woes...most of us have!!

And few are blessed with naturally healthy and beautiful hair and concentrate on other worldly affairs ;) :P

I personally have very dull,dry,frizzy and lifeless hair thus rich nourishing serums are oxygen to my mane.

I have tired a few serums and potions earlier so this review would be a comparative one.

Price: 600/50ML


Given my hair texture and condition,I'm usually on a lookout for rich serums to make my hair manageable and boost some life to them and this search brought me here to use L'OREAL PROFESSIONAL Absolut Repair Lipidium.

There's nothing fancy about the packaging..a pump dispenser with a cap. Now I like the twist-lock pump dispensers..minus the cap..MORE. They just make more sense to me because, you don't need to worry about loosing the cap just twist the cap n throw it in your bag...but alas! That's not the case here!

The consistency is nice, its runny enough to spread easily and uniformly in to the hair yet not watery. I need 3 pumps of this on my medium length hair and concentrate more towards ends and work my way up.

Th smell is fresh,floral musky kinds and it is really long staying.I like how amazing my hair smell after I've applied this :)

Now coming to what it does!!! It detangles my dry hair really easily but this is something all my other serums have done :/

 The serum definitely makes my hair,soft,smooth and brings a healthy shine to them which stays until the next wash.

It manages the frizz and leaving the mane open is a lot more comfortable with L'OREAL PROFESSIONAL Absolut Repair Lipidium. 

But do not expect any miraculous repair of your dry/damaged/chemically treated hair with this. 

 It gives temporary results that are somewhat similar to other serums of the similar price range. 

**Do let me know in the comments below if you have used the shampoo and mask from this range,I'm wanting to try !!

Rapunzle Rapunzle  ,let down your hair,

So that I may climb The Golden Stair...

Hearing this Rapunzle used to let her hair down from the window and help the Prince climb up to him..Well that being the fairy tale......

In my case,My Prince would not have been able to climb a single stair holding onto my hair lol ...thanks to the multitude problems of hairfall,dry-dull-damaged hair :(

 I have this thing in me that the word Herbal rings a bell somewhere deep inside me.So,a year back when I was introduced to Patanjali products by my sister-in-law,this Kesh Kanti Hair Cleanser/Shampoo was the first thing I grabbed from them and I'm glad I did :)

What It Claims:(Was originally in Hindi..has been translated)
Helpful in preventing hairfall and dryness,makes hair healthy,thick and beautiful.

Quantity: 200ml

Ingredients:

Price: INR 65/- (that's unbelievable!)

Packaging:


Patanjali Kesh Kanti Hair Cleanser comes in a yellow plastic bottle with an orange flip-open cap.The image of few of its ingredients is depicted on the front of the bottle.Both the bottle and cap are quite sturdy and travel friendly.Nothing else to brag about!!!!

My Take: In todays lifestyle,we rely more on the cosmetics that on the herbal/homemade stuff for our personal and care.I know its a sin for skin and hair but lack of time and availablity of markets flooded with products are to be blamed for this change in attitude of our generation.Following the treands i too have done a number of tortures to my hair.To begin with,I was never a born Rapunzel.I always had a thick,unruly,curly mane but the problem arrived when the only positivity,the thickness was getting affected..Yup,suffering a number of experiments like hair colouring,streaking,blow drying,flat ironing,curling using tongs,hair sprays,serums....you name it,I've used it all on me :(

Result-----> hairfall,dry and damaged hair!Period.


Patanjali Kesh Kanti Hair Cleanser was the first product I bought from Patanjali that I started using and I must say it has rescued me well from the aforesaid monsters ;) It has considerably reduced my hairfall.I like its smell..its uuuuhhh mmm orangy,citrusy..all in all refreshing.The consistency is just right for a hair cleanser..neither too thick nor runny.It cleanses the scalp and hair well without leaving residues,thus can be easily rinsed off. The best part is that in case you don't have super dry and unruly hair,you won't even require a conditioner post shampooing..yup it makes hair that smooth and tangle-free and to top it all its herbal :)

My Likes:

1.Super affordable :)

2.Cleanses well.

3.Refreshing Orangy Smell.

4.Has wonderful herbs in its ingredients list.

5.Easy to wash off.

6.Controls hairfall (it did mine atleast!)

7.Makes hair smooth.

8.Unbreakable travel friendly packaging.

My Dislikes: Apart from the boring Patanjali packaging I don't see any con,but given the price I don't mind that one bit.

Last Word: This is one product from Patanjali that provoked me to try even more stuff from them.It does the job well and is super cheap.I love It!

Repurchase: My fourth bottle already and considering its a regularly used product..Yes I will surely repurchase!
