TRESemme Split Remedy Shampoo Conditioner | Review

Hey Everyone !!!

For those who have been reading the blog for a while now, I was a tomboy is no news. But for those who haven't been, here is a quick flashback - I was a total tomboy till a few years ago. I never cared what I wore, how I looked. Many a times I  would go out wearing my Bro's T-shirt with loose jeans. Makeup, skin care, hair care were not at all a part of my life. No not even Kajal or Lip balm. Wondering why I am telling you all this? Continue reading and you will know why.

One day during school summer vacations, one of my cousins had come to my place. She was I-Know-It-All types. She saw me picking and ripping the ends of my hair in the afternoon and said, 
" Oh no!!! What is wrong with you? Don't do that. They look really bad. You have to cut them now."

I looked at her with a a shock face "What? What are you talking about?"

"Split ends. Don't you know you have to cut them or else they'll  grow upwards and lead to hair fall. You have to get a hair cut asap." she said.

"Really? No other way to get rid of these?I don't want to go to the parlor" I said.

"No" she said. " Cutting your hair is the only solution for split ends."

And this is what I have been doing all these year. Split Ends = Hair cut. Not just me, all the people I know do this, even if they don't want to.

So when TRESemme came up with their new range - Split Remedy Shampoo & Conditioner I had to try it out. I have been using this for about a month now and here is my review.

TRESemme Split Remedy Shampoo Conditioner

This is what my hair looked like before I started using the TRESemme Split Remedy Shampoo & Conditioner. There were no split ends but the ends of my hair had become very dry and rough.

My thoughts:

The shampoo has a very runny consistency and lathers up very well. 2 washes and it leaves the scalp clean. Though you may need an additional round of wash if you have oiled your hair. It has the typical TRESemme fragrance which is quite pleasing and lingers for a while even after 4-5 hours.

My thoughts:

The Conditioner is very thick and creamy. Similar to shampoo this too  has the typical TRESemme fragrance which is quite pleasing and lingers for a while even after 4-5 hours. Hydrates the hair very well and also keeps it from tangling.

Final verdict:

So does this work? Yes it does!!!  Though I didn't have split ends but it did help repair rough, dry ends. With all the dryness gone, the hair looks soft and hydrated. No more hair cuts for split ends now : D.Also it did not lead to any hair fall. At this price it is a great shampoo not just when you have dry / split ends but also for everyday use.

Don't know why the camera could't capture it, but it looks far better in person.

Video | Backstage Makeup By Lakme Absolute Salon | LFW 2014

Hey Everyone!!!

I was invited by Lakme to attend the Make-up Master Class by Natasha Nischol. She demonstrated two looks on Sarah-Jane Dias - a day look followed by a night look. Going with the current runway trend she used lots of metallic shades for eyes finishing it with orange lipstick (orange lips are so in this season :D). After the event I got my makeup, hair and nails done at the backstage Lakme Absolute Salon and shot my first video. Checkout the video and let me know what you think in the comments. Also I will be posting a new video every Monday, so don't forget to subscribe :)

Tips To Recharge Your Hair

Hey Everyone!!!

Smooth, shiny and manageable hair is  all that (Okay, spotless skin, soft pink lips, million dollar smile, expressive eye too. I know the list is endless!!! But lets just keep it to hair today.) we girls want. But very few of us are fortunate to actually have that.

Honestly, I have never had voluminous and bouncy tresses but yes they were soft, silky and manageable when I was a kid all thanks to mom. She made sure that they were oiled regularly and also applied a hair mask she prepared at home once every month. Apart from that I did not travel much and of course no crazy styling, no heat, nothing.

But gone are the days. All thanks to pollution, styling and many other reasons I am left with half the amount of hair I actually had and whatever is left is nothing that I can boast of :(
It has been that way for a while but it was only last month when I had a wedding in family did I realize how bad it has gone.  While all the other girls had let their hair down for the functions I had to tie it up into buns and pony tails. Have you faced a similar situation too?

And all this led to one of my new year resolution. I had to something about my dull hair. I had to RECHARGE them, give them a new life.

Have you too had bad hair days. Hiding it with a floral scarf during a romantic bike ride? Buns and braids for the party? And cutting it short only for it to grow back into a lifeless bunch again? If yes, then read on for some tips that may be helpful. These are some small changes that will take time but surely bring a positive change.

Hair Oil:

Be it the good old coconut oil, olive oil, the much raved argan oil or any other hair oil of your choice. Start oiling your hair once every week. This is one of the best ways to nourished hair. If you cannot leave it overnight, keep it on for a couple of hours before hair wash.

Hair Mask:

Everyone loves pampering and so does your hair. Book an appointment at the spa or you can do it yourself too. There are many hair masks available in the market to choose from. Also you can make one yourself with a little help from kitchen. Egg mask and Banana mask work great for me.

Wash Your Hair Right:

Now this is very important. Its very important to do it right. Do not use too much of shampoo always start with a small amount and repeat till you are left with a clean scalp. Never ever skip the CONDITIONER. Also choosing the right product according to your scalp and hair type is important. Use serum or leave in conditioner if necessary.

Stay away from Chemicals and Heat:

As far as possible don't go overboard with styling. Give your hair a break from the coloring. Avoid using heating tools. And when using one be sure to use a heat protection spray. Also try to towel dry your instead of blow drying.

Sunsilk Natural Recharge


Also try using products that are less filled with chemicals and more natural. Don't know where to start? Well Sunsilk has come up with New Sunsilk Natural Recharge Shampoo and Conditioner.  It is infused with ginseng plant root extract.  It gives your hair strength and vitality so that girls can live their life to the full with their strong beautiful and visibly abundant hair
I am surely trying this one out and would review it here soon.

Hope these tips are helpful and next time you go out you can let them down and enjoy without worrying. Recharge your hair to recharge your life.

Go Back in Time and Thank Some One

Hello Everyone!!!

If you could go back in time and thank some one, who would that be? L'Oreal Paris asked this question to people from different walks of life and here's what they had to say. Checkout the video.






Here is what L'Oreal Paris has to say :


Every shampoo today speaks about strong hair, but what really matters is the roots that make the hair strong. Only strong roots can give you strong and healthy hair. L’Oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X is one such shampoo that takes care of your roots. 
Fall Repair 3X is an Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo that delivers a triple anti-hair fall action. It nourishes the hair root, restructures hair fibre and helps the hair grow stronger from root to tip. Only Fall Repair 3X is enriched with Arginine Essence. Arginine is an essential amino acid that is vital for hair’s constitution. It is known for nourishing the scalp to improve micro-circulation.
Stronger the roots, lesser the hair fall.



'Stay Rooted' is all about remembering your roots and knowing that whatever you are today is because of your roots. It's about taking time out to thank and appreciate people, things, places etc from your past that have made you "You".

There are so many people who have been by my side always - Family, friend, teachers to name a few. I want thank them all for being there for me always. Especially my MOTHER. She has been my support system, guide, friend and everything I wanted. Whatever I am today is mainly because of her.
If you are reading this do tell me in the comments below about that special person you would like to thank if you had a chance to go back in time. I would love to read it.

love
