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,

100B8165
Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Volume Boost Perfect Foam is a detangling mousse that adds body and stability to hair. My hair is thin and if I am willing to get that perfect pouty hairstyle I use volume boost to do the job for me! And Schwarzkopf Volume Boost is a real charm! It features a nozzle that allows for easy application to the roots of my hair. The volume Boost is formulated in such a way that it lifts the roots when blow-drying, and leaves hair feeling fuller and looking shinier.

Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Volume Boost Perfect Foam has the beauty of the brand. The foam like mousse is a leave in and it actually works wonders on my hair.

  • 100% more volume for the hair
  • It is a 3 step system without silicones, provides stability, and hydration to the hair

Schwarzkopf Bonacure Volume Boost Perfect Foam is suitable for daily use.

Bump it! Volumizers review
August 25, 20140 Comments
I was on the look out for a few sturdy hairstyling products which will help me do some pretty hairstyles and I am really glad I bought these Bump its! 

Out of all the wonderful things a girl can try to create different hairstyles, Bumpits or volumizers score on the top! They affect they give is very pretty and totally satisfactory!

I bought this set of volumizers from Ebay.in. Ebay offers almost everything! I was stunned to learn that even the bigie websites like Flipkart and Myntra didn't sell bumpits but Ebay does! I was really elated when I placed my order as I was very very curious to try these for the first time! :D
As usual the shipping from Ebay took a while but when it arrived it made me real happy! The packaging was neat, no damages(Thank God!) Now it was time to try these in reality.

I started with one of the tiny ones. I watched a few very helpful Youtube videos on 'How to use Bumpits' before using them and learnt that it was so simple!

The Result: I LOVED IT! Yup! I have thin sleek hair and this bump it really added the much needed bump in the front and it looked Oh so chic!
These come in sponge versions too but I advise you to skip those and buy these thorny ones instead because these hold your hair better and stay put on your hair like FOREVER!

The pack I bought includes five bumpits of different sizes which you can choose according to the amount of volume you desire. The first three will look great in the front but the bigger two will look best for adding volume at the back/tip of your head!.
They above is the small slip tutorial which came along with the product. Doesn't help much so I would advise you to watch a good Bump it Youtube video instead! They come in a number of colours from black, brown, mahogany to blonde. You should buy the colour which matches your hair.
Price: I bought it from Ebay for 250/- (There was an offer going on. Cool na! :D) There are many brands and the price varies. You have many choices!

Any Cons?: I advise you to be careful when you wear these as the hair holding thorns are quite sharp and if by mistake you hit your head, it'll REALLY hurt!

Bling Sparkle Verdict: All in all its a totally amazing product girls. Its very easy to put and really looks amazing on your hair. It's my best hairstyle tool now. If yo have thin hair then you should really go for this. If you have voluminous hair than also you should go for this as it can really define your hairstyle! I love love love it!
Leave all those doubts aside and go for it like NOW!

Bling Sparkle Rating: 4.5/5 

Yay Or Nay?: If you can be a little careful, a total Yay! :D
