Denver Beer Shampoo - Review and Price!

Today I’m going to review Denver Beer Shampoo!

As I have mentioned it earlier as well that I have normal scalp as well as normal to dry hair. This product though is a unisex product, but is mainly made for the one with oily scalp. The main ingredient in this shampoo is of course beer, which is known to boost volume and shine to the hair.

Product Claims.

Beer is understood to possess extra ordinary conditioning property. Hence, Denver Beer Shampoo is a formula which contains real beer. Denver beer shampoo can be used daily for your hair to make them more smooth, strong and shiny.

Price Rs 160
Quantity- 200ml
Shelf Life- 2 years

Packaging – The shampoo bottle looks exactly like the beer pint. It is ideal for traveling purpose too.

Texture – The texture is mildly runny which looks extremely like beer itself. The smell is quite strong and pungent, though it doesn’t stays for long.

My Experience with Denver Beer Shampoo!

On the initial 2 usage I found the product to extremely amazing, but I was required to use the conditioner along with it as without it my hair was getting tangled a lot. One thing, I must say that this shampoo foams really well on the scalp and leave it squeaky clean. It also brings lost shine and volume to the hair.

But from the 2^nd day itself I started to feel that it making my dry hair even drier and brittle. So, I gave this bottle to my dad for him to try as it says that it meant for the oily scalp. He really enjoyed the product and can see real difference in his hair too. Smooth and shiny as he told me.

Overall Conclusion that I have reached to after using this product for 2 weeks is that if you have normal to dry or dry hair, give this one a miss. But if you have extremely oily scalp – This can be your next go to product. It’s affordable and is easily available.

Rating – 3/5

Why I Said No to Hair Cuts?

Summer Time or Bored of the old style? New trends or 'new me'? Breakup? *gasps* 
What was your excuse for the last haircut? Or wait, let me rephrase the question - what veil of excuse did you use this time to chop the precious - but damaged-hair?

Let me share a secret with you. I'm not very well versed about gadgets. So, my dealing with all things technology is limited to what I’ve been told or what's in the user guide. For any technical issue that crops up my solution used to be - Switch off. *OK, fine. It still is my solution* 
But is this switch off (read: chopping your golden locks) the right solution or can we even call it a solution? 

Ignoring the main cause and running for a temporary concealer is not really a wise thing to do. Understanding the root cause and working accordingly is more likely to work.

Some say that a person's shoes speak a lot about his personality. For me I think it's the hair. 
I mean, com'on, the well managed (be it curls or wavy or straight) hair do show the care and time one gives to himself or herself. I do understand that in cities where the pollution level is quite high it's difficult to combat the effect on the body. BUT, difficult does not mean impossible. In fact when we have a gem of a solution; Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair oil there's no reason to make any excuses! Strengthening the hair at the root with the qualities of amla, lime and heena and locking the moisture at the shaft of the hair gives it a new life.

Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair oil is a blessing for all of us who are marching from home to work and work to home with no time left for much needed TLC. All the care and nourishment that our hair need are packed in this bottle. Those magic elements are- Coconut, Amla, heena and lemon ! Benefits of all these amazing ingredients are even mentioned in the Ayurveda. Be it dandruff, dry hair or hair fall, our solution is a 20min head massage with Vatika Hair Oil. Champi makes everything better and brighter.

Fast paced life, pollution, even work for that matter should not deprive you of your Me Time! 

Remember, investing in yourself in the best investment.

So, now that we know this #ExcuseMeknot *rolls her eyes* I'm not using any excuses anymore to cut my beautiful tresses ... No cuts, I say! 

Cheers to beautiful and strong long hair!

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition;- Review and Experience

This is the part 2 of the #HappyHairChallenge that I took with Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition. Its been almost 6 weeks since I have been using this range. In this 45 days I have washed my hair with is range approx. 20 times as I don’t wash it on the daily basis. I can see major difference in the texture of my hair since the time I have started using this range.

My Hair feels tamed, silkier and smoother than ever before.

Keep reading as in this post I will give you a full review of this range.

PRICE- This product just like many other of this kind comes in different size and packaging 

              Shampoo- Sachet- 6.5 ml- Rs 3.
                            Travel size- 80 ml, Rs 69
                            Regular size- 175 ml, Rs135
                            Bigger size- 340 ml, Rs 230

                               Travel Size- 80 ml, Rs 70
                              Regular size- 175 ml, Rs 135

Packaging, texture and product description are already been discussed in the Part 1 of the post. So, let’s directly move to review. 

REVIEW

The range that I have used was the normal sized one. As shampoo is runny in texture, you end up using more. So my shampoo lasted just around 15 washes. But conditioner on the other hand, is quite thick and creamy; I still have almost 25% of the product still left from my first bottle itself.

Shampoo lathers really nicely, cleansing the scalp well, removing all the buildup and polluted oils while retaining the natural oils. If you are taking deep condition hair oil treatment before the wash then you can even skip the conditioner as the shampoo itself provides deep nutrition to the hair and scalp. I feel my hair is much stronger and shinier than before. As this range definitely tames the frizz, hair ends up looking healthy but still I haven’t seen much difference in hair fall. 

Breakage and dullness has certainly reduced though.

The contributing factor to well tamed, healthier and shinier looking hair goes to conditioner as well. I’m absolutely in love with the conditioner. It leaves the hair soft and well nourished. My hair is quite manageable now and it doesn't tangle easily. Even though the conditioner is quite thick and rich yet it doesn't weigh down my hair.

Pros

1)    Easily available at an affordable price

2)    Contains 3 natural oils

3)    Cleanses the scalp easily without drying it.

4)    Removes all sort of buildup

5)    Tames and controls frizzy hair

6)    Shinier/ healthier hair

7)    Conditioner is rich and creamy

8)    It doesn’t weight down my hair

9)    Amazing fragrance which lingers almost till the next wash

10)   No more brittle and dry hair

11)    Split ends are not much noticeable as it seals them well

Cons

1)    Not any noticeable difference in hair fall

2)    Shampoo doesn't last long .. mine lasted for just 14 washes

Rating – 4/5

RECOMMENDATION- If you have hair like me, I.e. normal to dry hair then this range will definitely work for you. I have virgin hair, So I cannot comment how well it works on chemically treated hair. I'm really happy that I took this #HappyHairChallenge as this product turn out to be an amazing one. I have already bought bigger shampoo bottle and another regular size conditioner after observing its impressive results.

Have you tried this range yet? Let me know what you feel about the same.

#HappyHairChallenge with Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Range

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Range

Where did January go? It felt as if January lasted just 5 seconds. 2015 certainly started with the bang; Bad Health, apartment moving, best friend’s wedding, work and more stress. Ahh Stress … one thing which has the ability to create mess in your life. If I leave behind the mental agony and emotional/physical discomfort that I have gone through in last month, still I would find plenty of reasons to still stress on. For example my skin and my hair!!

Most of us really do love winters, even do I but it creates havoc for skin and hair. They need that extra protection and care in this dry season. Honestly, I didn’t have time to even look myself in mirror, forget making any special/extra efforts to take care of them.

Skin was still taken care of, thanks to the night routine that I follow of which I would be talking in detail in the upcoming post, but it was my Hair that was constantly giving me nightmares.

And then the Miracle happened – As if Garnier knew that I’m going through Hair-troubles and they sent me my life saviour – Garnier Triple Nutrition Shampoo and conditioner. So let’s find out how effective this hair-care solution is for me?

Major Hair concerns

I have normal to dry hair but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have any major hair problems, due to health issues and extreme winters my hair has suffered a lot. It is lost the sheen and look much drier than it ever was. Dryness leads to hair fall as well, so that was another big concern.

Lately, I have also realized that I have quite some spilt ends as well which makes my hair look drier and dull.

I have been using Garnier Triple Nutrition Range for around 18 days now, in which I have washed my hair 7 times with this range and the After math of using this range is just brilliant. I have regained that shine and the smoothness that I had in it. Hair looks much more manageable and healthier than before. In just single wash shampoo shows its effect on your hair. I normally dilute the shampoo, so most of the time only single wash is enough but when you it on oiled hair, you might have to go for the second wash as well.

I love the conditioner. It is creamy and smooth but not very thick, which is good as it doesn’t weight downs my hair. After just one application, my hair was quite manageable, tangle free and had nice shine to it. You can even use the conditioner on your scalp (Company claims) though I never use the conditioner on scalp.

Packaging of the Range

Shampoo and Conditioner in cute yellow color signature Garnier Fructis packaging. Both Shampoo and conditioner are white in colour. The consistency of Shampoo is pretty much same as that of any shampoo but that of conditioner is quite thick but not as rich as hair masks are.

This Range is conveniently priced at Rs 135/each for 175 ml.

Neither of it makes my hair weight down; on the contrary, I feel my hair looks voluminous and bouncy. Even though the shampoo alone works wonders but I would recommend to use conditioner with every single wash to keep hair more manageable and smooth. Conditioner provides moisture and much required hydration to my dry/brittle hair.

Contents

This range is infused with the goodness of three nourishing oils of olive, coconut and almond. The Vitamin E from these oils helps in moisturizing the scalp and to get rid of the dryness.

Direction to Use - Shampoo !

Direction To use - Conditioner !

Fragrance

I love the fragrance of this range, it is the blend of signature Garnier Fructis fragrance and lemon. They lemony smell isn’t too overpower, but it is quite long lasting. Your hair will smell fresh and pretty amazing until the next wash for sure.

Overall, after using this range for more than 2 weeks, I can say that I’m happy that I took this challenge as this decision has come out to be quite useful for my hair. My hair looks shinier, smoother and more manageable.

Part 2 of the challenge and full detailed review of the Range will be posted soon, so stay tuned!!

Happy Hair !!

Thank you Garnier for making me a part of #HappyHairChallenge 

  

My View and Review : Tresemme Keratine Smooth Infusing Shampoo

If you follow my blog or have read the previous post, then you are well aware that i m not as such a hoarder of cosmetic or skin/hair care  products ( I know its weird coming from a beauty blogger, but I have just  started my journey). I use very few products on my hair. I'm a freak when it comes to my hair, i dont experiment with they too much but i change my shampoo every 3-4 months or put any specific brand on rotation because I heard that if we keep using the same shampoo for much long period, hair gets immune to that shampoo and it doesn't work to the best of its capabilities. So I wanted to change my shampoo and few months ago, my cousin suggested that i should give Tresemme Keratin Smooth Infusing Shampoo a try. So bought this one.
I usually have very tamed hair, i rarely suffer from bad-hair days (touchwood.). They are normal - dry, slightly wavy straight hair. No major hair problems, except that they are very thin (I think that runs in my family). During winters, they sometimes loose shine, still nothing serious.
Frankly, i was impressed that a keratin shampoo is available at such affordable price and i have used Tresemme smooth and shine in past and impressed with it, so i gave this one a try.

 So what is Keratin?

Keratin is a protein which is naturally there in our hair, but we lose it due to endless reasons and thats where frizz comes in picture. Here comes tresemme keratin smooth infusing shampoo to the rescue.

Product Description 

Packaging

I bought 600ml Bottle which is the biggest size available in market. It comes in a sturdy Red bottle with pump, very salonish types. I like. but this particular size is not travel friendly but other 200ml an d 100 ml are cool for travel purposes.

Ingredients 

My Take -  I feel this is one shampoo i ever needed in my life. I'm  very happy with the results. Tresemme claims Keratin range contains very less Sulfate, I don't know whether it is right or not but i m very happy with the results. It leave my hair smooth and completely frizz free. It has enhanced the shine in my hair. The is smell is very typical floral smell which is not overpowering and stays for long.

Pros-

Smoother and Shinier hair
control Frizz
Mild Floral Fragrance
nicely cleanses hair and scalp
Manageable- ready to style hair
claims to contain less sulfates
Contains keratin - building protein for hair
It does straightens my hair, but my hair are already straight
and its affordable

Cons-

It doesn't add any Volume to my hair
It is a Unilever Products- which tests on animals

Recommendation - I'm very happy with the results. I totally recommend it. It is currently the best option available in market to control the frizz. It straightens hair but does not add any volume, so if your looking for a shampoo to add volume to your hair then skip this one.

Rating - 4/5

My View and Review: Livon Silky Potion

 

I believe livon silky potion was the first serum introduced in India. I’m using this product since then only and though I have seen its price going from Rs 85 for 100 ml to Rs 185 for 100 ml, but this haven’t change my review towards this product. I love my hair and I love what this product does to my hair. I’ve naturally wavy hair which have a big tendency to get Frizzy which looks disheveled and untidy.

 

What does the product carton says :

-          Instantly softens and smoothens dry, rough, tangled, frizzy, unmanageable hair.

-          Enriched with Vitamin E and a unique CutiSoft formula, Livon is perfect for everyone who wants perfect hair.

-          It gently detangles hair and reduces breakage, leaving behind a shiny, protective sheath that keeps your hair soft, shiny and beautiful.

-          Suitable for all hair types.

How to be used?

-          Use it on towel dried damp hair, after shampooing, prior to combing.

-          You can also use it, even if you haven’t shampooed your hair by just sprinkling some water on your hair, and comb your hair the usual way. 

Price :-  it comes in many size, 3ml, 20ml, 50ml and 100ml.
                  I’ve 2 bottles 20ml and 100ml – for Rs 50 and Rs 185 respectively.

My View and Experience:- I love this product but still I don’t use every time I wash my hair. I use it every alternate time when I wash my hair, but then I don’t use the conditioner while shampooing. That’s my way, you can use it the way you like and the way it suits your hair. 

Pros :-

1.      Untangles my hair and makes them soft, smooth and manageable instantly.

2.      It doesn’t give sticky feeling and you need very small amount of this serum

3.      It prevents hair breakage and makes them easy to comb.

4.      It gives a well groomed look.

5.      Its inexpensive for the quantity and the quality it provides

6.      It comes in a flip open cap which controls the flow of the serum

7.      My 100 ml pack goes for months rather almost an year because you need only few drops to do the magic.

Cons;- 

1.      It has a very mild smell so it’s hard to know about its ingredients through its fragrance.

2.      If applies in ample amount it might feel bit stick and won’t give any bounce to your hair.

Verdict :- I’ll surely buy it so you can also try it. And if your hair are giving some hard time then it surely does the magic. Impress your man with the beautiful, shinny hair!!!
