Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil Review
September 29, 20150 Comments


It's that part of the year when your hair needs the MOST care, especially is you are living in an urban suburb where your hair are exposed to a lot of harmful chemicals and to add on that the present climate!

In this and this post we introduced you all to what we Bling Sparklers have got recently besotted to. Oil is no doubt the best way to nurture your hair and keep them, rejuvenated, voluminous, shining and happy!

In the present market, there are unlimited choices when it comes to hair care oils and it's important that we understand what our hair actually need and make the right choice. This post is thorough introduction and review of the amazing Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut hair oil we have already discussed in our previous posts.

Packaging:
First things first! The packaging is what a persons's eyes fall on first and that is what play a very vital role. Seriously, you don't want oil dripping out of the bottle and stumbling all over the place once you have bought the product. Oil's something which can get real slimy and creepy when not packaged properly. So the first priority is packaging.

It has to be spill proof and sturdy and a little attractive would do no harm too!
The Dabur Vatika Coconut ++ hair oil comes in a sturdy bottle with a 'screw in' cap which fulfills all the above needs. It also has a firm plastic seal right on top to ensure extra protection. The look of the  bottle is quite cute with green shades and coconut picture.

Pricing: 45 for 150ml
This is one of the best things of this product. Keeping in mind how effective it is, the pricing is a total seal deal!

Scent:
It smells great. The scent is not too overpowering but certainly mesmerizing. It smells of fresh coconut and a slight hint of almond. I love the smell!

Texture:
The texture is runny and liquid in all seasons. Unlike other coconut products where the texture gets solid during winter and liquid in Summer. This is truly a blessing as you don't have to pressurize the bottle during winters to get the oil out. Just keep it in a warm and dry place, not in a refrigerator. Lol.

WOW Ingredients:
 It has Henna, which along with other herbs coats your hair & protects it from oxidation. It also has Amla which strengthens the roots of hair to help maintain their health and natural thickness and lemon which has an astringent action that controls the flow of sebum.

My Experience:
I am blessed with silky soft hair which are quite unpredictable and moody, just like me. I never want to cut them short and I hate it when split ends force me to go against my will. :( One of my friends suggested me this and I thought why not give it a try as I have heard a lot of good reviews about it and the pricing doesn't burn a hole in my wallet. So I gave it a go and I am glad I did so! I have used it for over a month now and I must say I am quite impressed. This amazing oil has managed to win my heart in a short time span. It's showing results which majority of the products I have tried till date couldn't.

To put it in short:

PROS:

  • The Dabur Vatika Coconut ++ hair oil prevents hair damage. It's regular application will make sure your hair grow strong and immune to pollutants and other damaging things.
  • It reduces Hairfall. When I was not using it, a huge bunch of my hair would fall on every stroke of comb. You can imagine how traumatic that is! Thanks to this amazing oil, hairfall has disappeared and my hair are back to their healthy state.
  • It keeps split ends at bay. Split ends force you to chop off your long and lush tresses. It really kills to take a hair cut just because your hair have got split ends! What I noticed was when I used this oil regularly, there was no trace of protruding split ends.
  •  It keeps frizz at bay. Hair frizzing is another annoying thing which can cause skin irritation. The best way to fix it is nourishing your hair with oil and this hair oil by Vatika plays the best role here!
  • It is is enriched with Coco ++ which prevents hair breakage and nourishes hair making the strong. It's also famed to prevent hair greying.

CONS:

  • None!

It nourishes my hair within few minutes of the application and also helps me get rid of any head aches. Sitting in front of my laptop screen gives me stress and this oil helps me fight it like my warrior.

 My hair fall has reduced considerably too! The texture of my hair has improved, not to mention the frizziness is gone. I simply love this product as it's the best you can get fro this price and actually it's quite better than its higher priced competitors!

Usage:
Apply regularly on scalp and hair.
For best results, massage and leave it on overnight.

Verdict:
I totally recommend it to all my wonderful readers! Go there and grab yourself one asap. Thank me later! ;)

#ExcuseMeKnot Because Dabur Vatika Is Here!
August 22, 20150 Comments
Hair are one of we women's most prized possessions! We all have seen everyone from tiny school girls to teenagers and old women fret about their hair. Women are besotted to aiming for gorgeous hair from a very young age.

It was my Grandma who instilled the love for long and strong hair in me.

When I was in high school, I had the best hair in my class and a lot of my classmates envied me. While some sulked in their misery, somewhere real outspoken and asked me for long hair tips and methods. I found there was not much to tell them as the only secret behind my hair was dedicated oiling!

Then when I moved to college, things took a different route. It was the age to explore and experiment and I found myself leaving my hair open all the time. What with all the studies and *ehem* extra hanging out with friends, I didn't find time to oil them regularly and attend to them.

All was fun and cool until one day when I was getting ready for my second year Send off party. While I was hurriedly combing my hair and trying one of my hairstyles, the hair fall was more than one could imagine. Several locks of my beautiful, precious hair came out with every stroke of comb and I was left staring at the mirror and the heap of hair in my hands. That's when I realized that my hair had were very damaged and they had lost their original thickness and luster.

I went to attend my Send off party with a latka huwa (sad) face and the joy and excitement of the day had just evaporated! That's when my Bestie(who has Jacqueline Fernandes Look-alike gorgeous hair) confronted me and asked me what was up. I confided in her, getting close to tears to which she simply hugged me and asked me not to worry. That was when she asked me the question which changed my bad hair days forever...

Bestie ~ "Which Oil do you use Sweety?"

Me ~ "Not one in particular Tass. I am not too choosy."

Bestie ~ "God!! No wonder your hair our damaged. Never play games with your hair sweety! Give them the best care and be sure to use only one oil regularly."

Me ~ "Which oil do you use? Guess it's pretty expensive! :/"

Bestie ~ "Haha! No! On the contary, it hardly effects your pocket while giving your the best care!.. I use Dabur Vatika hair Oil :). My whole family has been using it for years. You should try it too!"

That's when I was introduced to Dabur Vatika hair oil. I wanted my gorgeous state of hair back and I started using Dabur Vatika religiously. What's next? Voila! As I write this, my fingers are teasing my gorgeous locks. ;)

I have been recommending Dabur Vatika Coconut enriched Hair oil to all my loved ones ever since and today, I thought why leave out my wonderful readers!

So here I am friends! :) Bid adieu to all your excuses for cutting short you hair as Dabur Vatika is here to repair the damage! It's the true elixir which nourishes and enriches your hair, giving it all the care it needs.

It nourishes my hair within few minutes of the application and also helps me get rid of any head aches. Sitting in front of my laptop screen gives me stress and this oil helps me fight it like my warrior.

Since the day I have started using it, my hair fall has reduced considerably and I haven't any point felt the need to chop my locks off. The texture of my hair has improved, not to mention the frizziness is gone totally.

So basically, the key to long, gorgeous and healthy hair is oiling them regularly with an organic coconut based oil(I recommend Vatika) and you will see the results for yourself within weeks! :)

Totally recommend it to all you folks!

Dabur Vatika Coconut ++ Hair Oil ~ My Ticket to Frizz Free Healthy Hair!
June 29, 20150 Comments
The beaches.. The holidays.. The endless ice creams and cool drinks.. The welcoming rays of the Sun.. Summer is here! So are the hundred hair and skin vows which every girl dreads. 

It's that time of the year when your hair needs maximum protection as it's exposed to direct sunlight and body sweat which makes it very difficult to handle them.. especially if you have long hair!

A few days back I came across my girlfriends discussing short hairstyles in a   Whatsapp group, the next thing you know, all of them had cut their hair short. I was devastated to witness this as all of them are prim South Indian beauties with gorgeous, thick, long black hair. 

I myself have long hair (which I love to bits) so obviously I could understand why they took this step as I know how hard it is to manage long hair especially during summers and winters or for that matter, any time of the year!

The other day when I took almost an hour to get my hair done, much to the annoyance of my now short haired waiting friends, I saw all of them giving me the 'you-are-next-looks'. 

I have been fond of long hair since the time I was a little girl. Thanks to the wonderful opportunity of being brought up in a joint family, I had the privilege of my Grandma always tending to my hair as if they were near and dear to her. Those days you didn't get these million options of hair oils which are available in the market today. My grandma used pure unpackaged coconut oil and it did a good job on my hair I must say. 

My hair was brilliant until my high school but when I reached college the last thing I worried about was hair. Add the fact that I often kept my hair open to that and you know what happened next - my hair started getting weak and losing their luster.

It was the era of cosmetics budding every where and desperate to win my hair back, withouts having to do much, I started exploring all these products one by one.

While the majority of them didn't give any result, those which did, didn't last long and left shocking after effects which further affected my hair.

Hence, my search for a good hair oil which actually suits my hair type is still on. Or let's say it was on till yesterday.. not any more!

Dabur Vatika is one of the most trusted brands which I instantly fell in love with. I am a big fan of natural products which don't have much chemicals in them but still do their job. I found Dabur Vatika to be one such brand. I have used their other oil before and also their shampoo range and I must say they were quite effective.
What caught my attention was this new version of Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil. It has Henna, which along with other herbs coats your hair & protects it from oxidation. It also has Amla which strengthens the roots of hair to help maintain their health and natural thickness and lemon which has an astringent action that controls the flow of sebum. All in all it helps nourish your hair and makes them healthy and strong.
Until a few days ago, I was seriously considering chopping off my long hair and pay heed to my friends. But now that I have come across this promising looking hair oil.. I am going to give it a last try. I have used it for a few weeks now and I must say I am impressed. This amazing oil has managed to win my heart in a short time span! It's showing results which majority of the products I have tried to date couldn't!
My hair fall has reduced considerably! The texture has improved too, not to mention the frizziness is almost gone! So far, so good..phew

Will update all you wonderful people on how it's working!
I really hope it heals my hair the way I think it will. I want to surprise my friends with my long, gorgeous hair and inspire them to never cut their hair short!

You can read more about this product and get detailed descriptions HERE.

Will be back soon with an update.
Until then,
Love,
~Bushra

Dove Elixir Hairfall rescue Hairoil Review
Hi there !
I have been wanting to review Dove Elixir since ages, never got the time I was too busy and the pictures I had clicked lay hidden and forgotten in some folder I found yesterday , so here I am with another review :)
Hairfall is one thing all women and men fear of equally but  Dove Elixir is purely made for the tastes of the women. One look at dove elixir and you’ll know why I tag it as a beauty product for women only. The most distinct thing about this hair oil is the product packaging ! Dove has launched these beauties in perfume designed bottles which are both eye candy and attractive which lure to buy them immediately. I din’t even read reviews before buying this, so good was the packaging! One look at the beautiful rose petals glistening from the see through glass and I knew I wanted this one!

Never mind the  claims , I only wanted this to be a part of my beautiful collection ;) But It is just more than attractive packaging ! Dove elixir may not reduce hairfall but hey it oils hair like no other hair oil ! Light on the hair, pocket friendly and smells some like heaven! Plus it does help in detangling your hair so much more easily ! Read on to know more about this beauty!

What Dove claims about the product:The sacred flora of Greek Goddess Aphrodite or the object of the great philosopher, Confucius’ renowned study – the rose; and it now lends itself beautifully to Dove Elixir. Rose with Almond Oil known to be available in far Southern parts of Asia, make for the virtuous concoction – Hair Fall Rescue by Dove Elixir. The golden drops of elixir breathe life into fragile hair that fall easily, to nourish and protect hair from damage. The potion of Dove Elixir – Hair Fall Rescue to reduce hair fall dramatically. To give you the goodness of overnight oiling in 30 minutes.

My Views on Dove Elixir with rose and Almond oil.
It consists of almonds and rose petals which are too real found at the bottom of the glass bottle! Much to my surprise the oil i bought finished up within a period of 40 days ! The only difficulty I had was using the  pump dispenser on the top  to remove hair oil from the bottle ,I’ll tell you what if you are the type who gets irritated to pump a bottle 10 15 times  to get small quantities of oil every time you pump this is definitely NOT a good buy !Also i had to be very careful as its made of glass one slip, one tug and all of my money would go down the drain. You can see dried rose petals at the bottom of the bottle , I am sure they don’t do much to extend the quality of the hair oil but are present to add to the beauty of the product !
Its sweet fragrance, lightweight nature and the fact that I could use it as a hair styler oil on dry hair to keep my hair intact I think I am in total awe of this product. Brownie points for this hairoil as boosts the shine of my hair :D

Pros of Dove Elixir Hair Fall rescue:
  • Easily available both online and offline
  • Fancy beautiful packaging.
  • Almond oil and rose oil nourishes the hair.
  • Helps dry and damaged hair
  • Shine booster
  • Modestly priced
Cons of Dove Elixir Hair Fall rescue


  • Difficulty and getting the oil out! It is worse!
  • Not travel friendly

Www.BlingSparkle rating: 3.5/5 ( What use it the good packaging if its difficult for us to remove oil from a hair oil product , so yeah ripped off the 1.5 for that ;)

Recommendation : I loved the product but it contains mineral oil and silicones which I have no problems with but you are hair conscious and hate silicones skip this. Other than those who love a bit of fragrance and light weight oil for regular usage go for it :)

Will I repurchase ? Why not? I am quite patient when it comes to beautiful things *bates eyelashes* :P So even if the product hanged , like pumping out oil from the product stopped i would buy it to add beauty to my hair keeping sec in my wardrobe :P.

Have you used this beauty? Yay or nay?
Till then stay independent and happy!
Happy Independence day! \m/

Aura Vedic Pure Virgin Coconut Oil Review
May 20, 20140 Comments

100_5969

Hair oil is an important part of hair care regime. Coconut oil has many benefits for hair, it acts as a great moisturizer and my mom always uses coconut oil to give me oil champis. I decided to give parachute hair oil a skip and try this pure virgin coconut oil a try.

Price: 100 INR for 100 ml

Packaging: This oil comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a black screw cap. Pretty travel friendly but I do wish there was flip cap to facilitate easier application.

100_5972

The oil is transparent and has mild smell coconuty smell. The texture is pretty light weight so applying this lightly after bath also is not an issue.

The oil does its job of moisturizing scalp pretty well and leaves hair soft and smooth. As for a moisturizer on skin I havent used this oil on skin so I have no idea.

Yays:

  • Free of parabens, SLS , harmful chemicals and colours
  • Easily available online
  • Light weight texture
  • Travel friendly packaging

Nays:

  • No flip cap

Verdict: If you love natural chemical free products you should definitely give this oil a try

Review: Dove Elixir Rose and Almond oil, hair fall rescue
May 04, 2014 2 Comments
100_4476
Price: Rs 185 for 90ml
Varient: Rose and almond oil
100_4469

I am not too much into hair oils , I just give myself a coconut oil champi on weekends, but this dove Elixir oil which claimed to be a serum cum oil sounded fun and I had to try it .
The packaging takes the cake for me. I have never seen hair oil so fancily packaged, like a perfume in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser and tiny rose petals floating in oil.  But I wish the bottle was made of plastic rather than glass which would make it so much more travel friendly.
100_4473
Dove Elixir had nice mild scent and the texture is light weight, not too oily so it can be used as a serum after bath also. I use it both before and after hair wash and it works great after bath managing my frizzy hair.
100_4479
Yays:
  • Packaging, the pump dispenser. Love
  • Can be used before and after hair wash like a serum
  • mild fragrance
  • Easily available
Nays:
  • Delicate packaging, handle with care glass bottle
  • A bit pricey
  • Has mineral oil
Rating: ****/5
Verdict: As a serum Dove Elixir hair oil is a great buy, but as a hair oil it doesn’t do anything extraordinary. If you love fancy packaged stuff, just buy it!
