The Himalaya Anti-Hair Fall Range #4FabulousHair

Hair fall is something that all of us suffer from at some point in our lives. Aging, climatic conditions, stress, hormonal ups and downs, all these in some way are responsible for hair fall and eventually hair loss for a lot of us. For me, my hair is my crowning glory and if that gets affected, it affects my confidence levels like crazy. I noticed hair fall recently on my USA trip which most people told me was very normal due to the water and weather change, but for me it became a constant worry. Once I got back to India, it did reduce but wasn't normal like before. By normal I mean no worries about hair loss as other than post pregnancy I never had to worry about it! A week after my return from the USA, I figured I needed a cure and thankfully while unboxing all my packages came across what I exactly needed. In my absence, Himalaya had sent me their new Anti-Hair Fall Range, and it has been a blessing because not only has my hair fall has reduced considerably but my hair also feels healthier in the last 2 weeks since I have started using it.

Quick DIY Hairstyle Video Tutorial with EIMI!

Wella Professionals has been known for the quality of its products and how amazing the effects are, so converting me to a hair styling enthusiast with their EIMI range was piece of cake for them. I was introduced to the EIMI range by Patrick Cameron, Wella's Global Ambassador and star hairstylist a couple of months ago and I saw him create magic with the products, and from then on there has been no looking back for me. A few months back, you must have read my post on the entire EIMI range that also had reviews on the 3 hero products of EIMI. Taking it further from there is my first hair tutorial video on my YouTube channel with those 3 hero products of EIMI and I am super excited about it!

Going Balayage with Schwarzkopf!

Valentine's Day this year was extra special, as Schwarzkopf Professional India planned a Valentine's Day special date with my hair to shower it with some TLC, and you guys can guess after having known me for so long, that I would have opted for pampering my hair with some fresh hair colour, cause there is nothing more that I and my hair love, than some fresh colour and a new look!

#SpeakEIMI with Wella Professionals! Review & Instagram Contest!

Hair care is something that the whole world swears by and when you get hair styling products that style as well as care(protect) your hair, what more can you ask for. Most of us refrain from using hair styling products because we believe it does more harm than good, but with Wella's EIMI range, you can put all those fears to rest. Wella Professionals has been known for the quality of its products and how amazing the effects are, so converting me to a hair styling enthusiast with EIMI was piece of cake for them. I was introduced to the EIMI range by Patrick Cameron, Wella's Global Ambassador and star hairstylist a couple of months ago and I saw him create magic with the products, but since there was an embargo then, I couldn't tell you guys anything about it. Never the less, now I can reveal it all, so I am going to give you a look into their range of 31 products, with a review on their star products that I have been using.

In love with the Wella SP Luxe Oil!

Being a blogger I land up trying out 10,000 products for reviews because that is what a lot of you come to my blog for. Some products I love, some I like, some I have mixed reactions for and some I junk. In the process I also land up learning about new products and brands that I had never known of before. Such was the case with the Wella AG as I knew only about their brand Wella Professionals thanks to my hair colouring addiction but as I worked more with them, I also discovered their other amazing brands namely System Professional (SP), Sebastian and Nioxin, that have an amazing bouquet of very effective products. 

Today I am going to let you in on my all time favourite - The Wella SP Luxe Oil!

BRAUN PowerPerfection Hair Dryer - Review + Monsoon Giveaway!

Heat is something that I don't expose my hair too much to. On most days I let my hair air dry after washing and it's only when I have plans to step out do I blow dry it or straighten it. In fact for the past 6 months I hadn't used a hair dryer on my hair at all at home. This happened because the one I had got spoilt, and I got a chance to test if I could do without one as I was trying to minimalize the amount of heat I used on my hair. But as my hair has grown much longer, I needed to get back to blow drying to let my hair not get too wavy, and receiving the BRAUN Satin Hair 1 PowerPerfection Ultra Light a few days ago was just perfect timing!

System Professional Liquid Hair (Botox for your hair) - Expert Talk

That is exactly what happened and it was a fun and interesting evening where he gave me some interesting insights on himself, his association with Sebastian and advice for my readers and aspiring hair artists.. Keep reading to know his amazing journey which makes for a really interesting read.

Nioxin Diaboost - the perfect hair boosting formula!

Nearly 50% percent of the women in this world suffer from hair thinning. Some people(like me) are born with fine hair which looks visibly thin through life, and some people over time lose hair which makes their hair look thin. While most people start losing hair once they start aging, one is never too young to start losing hair and if  you're genetically predisposed, it can start as early as in your teens. It could also be due to health issues and hormonal changes and so if you are noticing a visible change, it is always best to go to the doctor and get yourself checked. A lot of people get really worried when they hair thinning starts and start drug-based regrowth treatments or go for hair camouflaging treatments like hair weaving to correct the issue. What they don't realize is that they could be susceptible to a lot of side effects which could only make life more miserable. What they need to do is think of holistic ways to treat the condition.

Change is the only constant in life and change is only for the good - something that I believe in totally! Something that a well known brand also believes in and has made a huge change to their product offering for the better - A hair care brand and they have gone a step further and who gotten themselves a new brand ambassador who is currently taking Bollywood and the fashion world by storm! So let me spill the beans for you - Livon has changed! It’s now the next gen Livon Serum with a new, ultra-lightweight formulation. Designed for today’s women who do not believe in compromising on either hair beauty or hair health, this product gives you fabulous looking hair while protecting it from damage. Livon’s first brand ambassador, none other than the Queen of Bollywood and youth style icon, Kangana Ranaut is leading this change and it seems to be a pretty good change!

Monsoon Magic at JUICE! #GetTheLookWithJUICE Contest! (Entries Closed)

Monsoons can be a real dampner for most of us as far as our hair is concerned. While my hair grows much faster during monsoons, the humidity squeezes the life out of it and leaves it lacking volume and bounce along with losing shape due to the speed at which it grows. Hence a haircut is imperative for me in between the monsoon season every year. While I have tried different salons every year for my monsoon cut, no one ever gave me the desired effect that I wanted - a hair cut that would look voluminous and not get weighed down by the humidity, and also be a style that would not lose shape too soon after the cut. 

This year when the acclaimed hair experts at JUICE claimed to have come up with monsoon specific haircuts, I was skeptical as well as excited to try a look since I had more or less come to a conclusion that monsoon specific hair cuts were a myth. Nevertheless I decided to make a one last attempt and thankfully it isn't going to be my last attempt because I was given the most wonderful haircut I have had in years! Here is my experience for you guys :-) (and I also have a contest for you post the experiential!)

This was how I walked into the salon!

The process started with a hair wash as my hair was to be cut when wet.

And then started the chopping :)

I was given the haircut by Priti Sawant - Creative Director of the Vashi and Kemps Corner salon. She decided to give me a multiple layered cut at the back to give me volume, with softer layers at the front. For the crown we decided to go for a side swept fringe but the best part of this fringe was that we decided to change the direction of my hair parting and that was what made the most difference to this haircut.

Done Dana Done Done! How fabulous does this look!!

You can actually see the voluminous look that this haircut gives and how much changing the side of the fringe also has made a difference!

It's been a few weeks since I got the haircut and it is totally a fuss free haircut to style. You can just towel dry your hair, comb it and let it air dry on its own and it still looks perfect. You don't need to use any heat devices to style your hair. This has been one of the most no hassle haircuts that I have gotten done in my life and I know I am going to go back to JUICE again in the future for my haircuts. Haircuts with a Creative Director start from INR 1800/- onwards.

Thank you JUICE for proving to me that monsoon haircuts are not a myth ;-) BTW, they have styles for men too, so all the men out there reading this post, do try out their services.
