REVIEW & SWATCHES OF PANTENE PRO-V OIL REPLACEMENT CREAM

Hey Everyone,

Talking about hair there are so many products in the market right now that is really confusing which one to pick. When it comes about my hair I am really skeptical. I hardly change my hair care routine, as I don't love to experiment with my skin and hair.

But recently Pantene pr people contact to try out their recent famous product  "PANTENE PRO-V OIL REPLACEMENT CREAM". And as many people raving about this product I said yes to the brand to try it out.

Price:- Available in two sizes. Rs.85/- for 80ml and Rs.150 for 180m.

Availability:- https://amzn.to/2yH0buT

Packaging:-

PANTENE PRO-V OIL REPLACEMENT CREAM comes in a tube packaging. One had to squeeze to take out the product.

My Experience:-

The cream is white in color. It has a nice fragrance which lingers on my hair even after hair wash. The texture of the cream is thick and while applying I found it sticky on my hair (all the washable creams are generally sticky on hair). For my thin hair, 3/4 dollop is enough to cover up my entire hair.
Now to be very honest I didn't find the cream work miracle on my hair. The cream definitely moisturizes my hair and feels soft for 24 hours. But after that, I started to feel my hair sticky and dull for next 24 hrs without shampoo. Whereas a proper oiling makes my hair moisturize and shiny for 2 days maximum. So definitely this cream can be substituted for oil when you are in hurry but it can't replace the wonder of hair oils.

So, that's all for today. See you in my next post.
Love Sammy :*

or you can find these products on Nykaa, Amazon and First Cry.

My experience:-

Soaps:-

All the soaps have very mild fragrance in it which lasts only a few minutes after a bath. Now, don't get me wrong or think that it is a down point of these soaps because as these are chemical free soaps so they don't have a strong fragrance. The soaps lathers really well. They don't make my skin dry. Even in this freezing winter, these soaps works wonder on my skin. It doesn't dry up my skin.

Shampoo:-
 
I bought both Ashtapathy Deva Thali Shampoo and Ashtapathy Mud Shampoo for testing purpose. Mud shampoo is just perfect for oily hair beauties. The shampoo cleans all excess oil and dirt making hair great free. As I have dry scalp and dry hair during winter so this shampoo doesn't suit me now. But during summer when I mostly have oily scalp I think this will work well on my hair without making my hair dry on ends.So this one is not for me for now but people having oily hair throughout the year they can try out this shampoo.

The Deva Thali shampoo is one of the best shampoo that I came across. A perfect shampoo for dry and dull hair. This shampoo makes my hair super soft and shiny and manageable.

Both the shampoo don't lather up much so one might end up squeezing a lot. But you don't need to do that as these are sulfates and paraben free shampoos so they don't lather up much but they do the job of cleaning pretty well.Both the shampoo have a mild scent which doesn't bother with a sensitive nose.

Overall I am just loving each and every product of Asthapathy because the shampoos are sulfates and paraben free, while soaps are strictly naturals. Moreover, all the products are undoubtedly very affordable one. So, if you are looking something naturals for your hair and skin then definitely check out these products from ASTHAPATHY.


P.S. As the shampoos are natural products so it might take time to show it's effect on chemically treated hair. I was using this shampoo from past two months after which it started to show its results on my hair. But again as these are hair care products so it might show different results on different people. I shared my personal experience with these products.

Here is my hair after doing hot oil treatment followed by washing my hair with DEVA THALI SHAMPOO.

So, that's all for today...Until next time.

My experience:-

The oil comes in a transparent packaging and one can see how clear the oil is. The oil comes in a plastic bottle with a pressed plastic lid on the mouth which prevents spillage of any oil.

This coconut oil simply reminds me of my childhood days, when oiling my hair was so much fun and was a daily routine for me. Slowly with a busy schedule and changed lifestyle oiling of hair gone missing in my lifestyle. But with Shesha Naturals Extra Virgin Coconut Oil I am going back to my old days of oiling my hair. The oil is light in texture. And it is very clear one. The oil moisturized my hair pretty well. I use it as an overnight oil treatment twice a week and for hot treatment once in a week. On another day I use few drops of this oil as a serum on my hair ends whenever I wash my hair.

Overall finally I found my hg coconut oil and I am going to stick to this oil definitely. So, if you are looking for coconut oil then I would love to suggest you this oil to try out.

The oil is edible one and can be used for skin or on babies for massaging purpose. I myself use it only for my hair so I can't say anything related to another claim of this oil. But as this one is a natural product so definitely you can try out this oil in a different way as it is suggested.



P.S. As the oil is a natural product so it might take time to show it's effect on chemically treated hair. I was using this oil from past one months after which it started to show its results on my hair. But again as this is a hair care product so it might show different results on different people. I shared my personal experience with these products.

And finally here is my hair just dried normally after a hot oil treatment with this oil.

 
So, that's all for today, I will catch you in my next post pretty soon.

Biotique BIO MOUTAIN EBONY (VITALIZING SERUM FOR HAIRFALL)

 
Hey friends,

Finally giving a small break to the makeup part today and going to review one of my recent hair care product. The constant change of weather from rainy to sunny creating so much imbalance in my hair texture that I found my hair turning dull with tremendous hair fall. All those hair fall on my floor and the pillow makes me so worried that I had to buy something for my hair.

I always change my hair care routine after every third month as I found my hair usually get accustomed to the newly brought product within 3-4 months and stop showing any result. That’s why I had to indulge myself in different hair fall tonic. For now, I am using Biotique BIO MOUTAIN EBONY (VITALIZING SERUM FOR HAIRFALL)

Biotique BIO MOUTAIN EBONY (VITALIZING SERUM FOR HAIRFALL) comes in a sturdy semi-transparent plastic bottle.

Price: - Rs.185/- for 120ml.

Ingredients list picture:-

 It is a hair serum so it is liquid in texture. One had to pour the serum on palm and spread it evenly on dry scalp. Massage it in the circular motion for few minutes and then leave on.

I usually apply the serum at night and leave it overnight. Being watery in texture it is easily absorbed in my dry scalp leaving a very nice mild smell. On the very next day, I just wash my hair with plain water and I do shampoo on every alternate day in a week. The serum is non-oily and non-sticky. It doesn’t weigh down my hair after application. I can even style as desired once the serum completely dried on my scalp.

Coming to the result of the serum:-

The moment I click the picture it was just two weeks and the moment I sit down to write about it is already four and half week. I saw the dullness of my hair is gone. I will not claim that it totally stop my hair fall (sounds like an advertisement) but yeah it regulates my hair fall to some extent. As the hair tonic has been suggested to apply on dry scalp only so it has no function if I apply it on my dry ends of hair. The hair tonic definitely improves my scalp but it has nothing to do with my dry ends.

Over in all, I am pretty ok ok with this product as it improves my scalp condition but didn’t bring any drastic change in my hair fall. Secondly, continuous use of this hair tonic actually regulates my hair fall only to some extent. Moreover, it has nothing to do with my dry ends. So, if you just want to maintain your healthy hair then this hair tonic is must buy but if you expecting a lot from it then definitely you should look out for something else which is more powerful on your hair.

Have you tried out this hair tonic? Do you like it?

I will see you soon in my next post :)

Love

Sammy :*
