Herbis Herbal Hair Oil Review

Herbis Herbal Hair Oil Review

Oiling hair is as important as cleansing it. We rinse our hair as per our convenience; some people rinse their hair everyday, some every other day and others once or twice in a week. Whenever we shampoo our hair, we think that it cleanses our hair and makes it free from dirt, oiliness and other impurities caused by the environment. But not only that, once we rinse our hair, it loses it's moisture and turns dry. Your conditioner cannot help with hair dryness because most of the hair conditioners just work on the hair body to prevent tangles. In this case, oiling hair becomes very essential and necessary to balance the lost moisture. Most of us does not want to apply the hair oil soon after getting our hair wash done because it makes hair look limp, oily and ugly. But we can oil our hair at the previous night of shampooing hair. This helps preventing excessive dryness in the scalp and maintains a good healthy hair. What more? If there are some herbals combined with our hair oil, it becomes much more beneficial. We are going to check a review of that kind of a herbal hair oil now. It is the Herbis Herbal Hair oil which is made up of several natural herbs. Go ahead and find more about the product!

Herbis Herbal Hair Oil -Description

Gently massage into hair ensuring that entire scalp is covered. Leave overnight. Wash with a mild shampoo.

Ingredients:

Hibiscus lobatus, Must Root, Thyme Leaved Gratiola, Olive Oil, Almond Oil and others.

My Experience with this product:

Packaging

This hair oil comes in a very simple, but yet sturdy plastic bottle which is transparent and has a white coloured screw cap. The bottle has a lid with a tiny nozzle which is meant to take the product out for usage. Though simple looking, this packaging is very much suitable for mess-free usage and yes of course, this product is travel friendly. I hope that they will improve the looks of this product in future.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance

As I guessed, this oil has a thick consistency (Not very thick as castor oil but not very thin too, it is some more thicker than the coconut oil) It looks dark green in the bottle but when taken out for usage, the oil looks transparent with a visible green tint. The fragrance is similar to that of homemade herbal hair oils. I found nothing chemical-like in the fragrance, but it is strong and herbal but would not bother my senses as this oil is meant for overnight usage.

How it works

Frankly speaking, I dislike hair oils :P Not just because they make my hair look limp, but oiling hair tends to change my facial skin look oily and dull. But after all, I realized that hair oil is a must to maintain long healthy hair and started oiling my hair at night. When I searched out for an hair oil meant for overnight usage, this one caught my eyes. I was impressed by the things that this hair oil contains 25 herbal ingredients and it is completely natural. 

       This herbal hair oil goes smooth on to the scalp, spreads easily and instantly gives a cooling sensation to the eyes. I usually heat this oil and apply the warm oil to my hair and scalp. After application, I massage my scalp gently with my hands and wear a shower cap. When I wash my hair next morning, my hair looks visibly soft and silky due to its moisturizing and herbal properties. About the hair fall and dandruff control claim, yes it worked perfectly. My hair fall was due to dryness and this oil successfully helped control my hair fall with regular usage. My dandruff was in control as well but one should use this regularly in order maintain a healthy hair. Due to its thick texture, I shampoo my hair twice to get rid of the oil residues completely but then it is not a big issue for me as it works well to cure my hair dryness and other problems. Overall, I would use this herbal hair oil regularly until I find a better one. The price is okay for the natural and herbal ingredients of the product so I wouldn't mention it expensive. We spend thousands of bucks on chemically made high end serums isn't it? Hence the price is pretty much reasonable for a naturally made herbal product. Give this oil a try and I am sure you will love it!

PROS

• Comes in simple, yet sturdy and travel friendly packaging
• Easy to squeeze and use
• The oil spreads onto the scalp very well and instantly calms down the eyes
• Improves the texture of hair with regular usage
• Moisturizes hair very well and the herbal ingredients control and prevent dandruff
• If your hair fall is due to dryness, then this would surely help in controlling it. 
• Regular usage prevents split ends and leaves hair soft and silky
• Though it has a strong herbal smell and thick texture, it is meant for night usage hence no worries
• Made of several herbal ingredients and completely natural.
• Reasonable price for the worth
• No experience of side effects or irritation

CONS

• The strong smell might put some off but after all it is for night usage, so this can't be taken as a major con
• Rinsing it off is a little pain. Sometimes it becomes necessary to shampoo hair twice to get rid of the oil
• The price is reasonable for the worth but still, if they give some discount as introductory offer, many can easily buy and try it.

Rating: 3.5/5


Recommendation:
I highly recommend this herbal hair oil to all. This might help in controlling your dandruff and hair fall as well. Use it overnight, at least twice in a week to see visible results. When your hair fall and breakage are controlled, your hair grows longer and stronger isn't it?


Would I Repurchase:
Yes, I am getting my second bottle soon :)

Banjara's Aloe Vera Under Eye Gel Review

Guest Post by Iswarya
Weekend Fun Giveaway July Week 2 Giveaway Entry #14
 
Aloe Vera has a proven track of records for its benefits. It is a world renowned plant and is used as a part of beauty regime. It is also called as the lily of dessert. Due to lack of proper sleep I developed dark circles under my eyes. I was in need of a product which could help me reduce the same. I used to extract fresh aloe juice and apply to my dark circles, but since my plant dried up I bought the Banjaras aloe Vera under eye gel. Today I am going to review the Banjaras aloe Vera under eye gel. Go ahead!

What the product claims:
The under eye area is one that shows signs of stress and fatigue early. Banjaras under Eye Gel helps in countering that. A compound of Aloe Vera and Green Tea, it helps in reducing the strain and tiredness affecting the eyes.
It acts as a coolant for the eye and helps in getting rid of the under eye lump. It also works wonderfully in preventing fine lines. As an overall effect, it provides a protective barrier making skin under the eyes less prone to wrinkles.


Price and quantity:
Rs 120 for 175 grams


Variants:

•     Banjaras all-purpose Aloe Vera gel
•     Banjaras all moisturising  Aloe Vera gel
•     Banjaras Aloe Vera under eye gel

My Experience with this Product:

Packaging:  It comes in a see through tub with a green screw cap. It has a label with pictures of aloe Vera.

Colour, Consistency & fragrance: It doesn’t have any colour. It is a transparent gel and has strong a weird smell than the aloe plant. I doubt the presence of chemicals as the shelf life is 3 years. It has a medium consistency.

How it works: It works well. It gets easily absorbed into the skin. Pea sized amount is enough for the whole face. It gives a cooling sensation when applied. It gives light moisturisation to the skin and soothes my tired puffy eyes as well. It is decently priced and doesn’t make our face oily i.e. no shiny layer. It is like  water and spreads quickly on my face. It gives a glow to my face as it is a gel. (I am applying this to my face as well). It soothes any rashes, burns or redness caused by threading and waxing. It is not sticky and light weighted, overall a good product for non-sticky product lovers and oily skinned people.

Swatch:






Pros:

•     Decently priced
•     Little goes a long way
•     Soothing, cooling and relaxing
•     Easy absorption by skin
•     Serves multiple purposes
•     Goodness of aloe and green tea
•     Reduces puffiness of eyes

Cons:

•     No ingredients mentioned
•     Tub packaging is unhygienic
•     Packaging is not travel friendly. It is bulky and difficult to carry.

My Rating: 4/5


Recommendation: I recommend this product especially for summers.it suits oily and sensitive skin. Dry skin may need more moisturizing than this. It can be applied by everyone for dark circles.


Would I Repurchase:  Yes, until I get a new aloe plant. Fresh juice of aloe plant is better than this product. Those who don’t have it can try this.

        Hope you liked my review of Banajara's Aloe Vera Under Eye Gel. Have you tried this product?

Vaadi Herbals Deep Pore Cleansing Milk Review

Hello buddies! I am reviewing a cleansing milk from Vaadi Herbals now which I have purchased from stylecraze long back. Personally, I use this cleansing milk at least thrice a week and just now got time to review it. Let us see few lines about the brand and this product as per the site. About Vaadi Herbals: Vaadi Herbals is associated with Rajvaidya Group, one of India’s oldest and most recognized manufacturers of Ayurvedic health care products since 1868. Vaadi Herbals has combined Ayurvedic science with modern technology to develop a whole new range of personal care products enriched with the extracts of best quality natural herbs to cater to the needs of the whole family.

About the Product: Vaadi Deep Pore Cleansing Milk is made of natural cleansers that penetrate deep down to gently remove dirt, grime & make - up. The rose water & natural oils then work to make the skin look fresh & smooth.  Remove dirt grime and makeup? has rose water and natural oils? Impressing claims. Let us see how it works by checking out the complete review.

Vaadi Herbals Deep Pore Cleansing Milk

Price: Rs. 115 for 500 ml; Rs.40 for for 100 ml

Shelf Life: 3 years

Usage Instructions

Apply all over the face and neck with fingertips or damp cotton wool. Rinse or wipe off.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS     

Lemon - Opens skin pores and removes impurities    

Aloe Vera - Nourishes the skin    

Vitamin E - Protects facial skin including delicate tissues around eyes   

Rose Water - Provides a cool feel to the skin, making it glow

My Experience with this Product

Oh gosh! we get 500 ml for 115 bucks! This is the very first shocking thing, as well as surprising for me. Mostly cleansers come at a rate of 200 or 300 bucks for 100 ml and such but this cleanser comes in a dirt cheap prize. I really felt like getting a cool drink bottle, that huge the bottle is for this price :P I did not under estimate this product because of its price because the effectiveness doesn't depend on the price in most cases. This cleanser comes in a water opaque plastic bottle with blue a cap which is firm and leak proof. I would suggest not to get the 500 ml bottle unless you don't travel because it weighs a lot and makes traveling hard. Go for the small bottle, it is easy to carry and very travel friendly. It comes with a firm flip cap, hence hygienic too :) I accept, the packaging is very simple, but I don't mind because the quality of the product is important to me, not the packaging.

So, I have been using this cleansing milk now and then.. Oops not now and then, at least twice or twice a week till now to observe its good and bad things.  It has a white milky consistency, neither too runny and nor too thick. It glides onto the skin and spreads quickly. I usually massage gently for a minute on my facial skin and wash off. You can also wipe it off with tissue and splash water. While coming to the fragrance part hmm not so good, but not bad for me too. It has a kinda medicinal + herbal smell which is okay for me, but will be not okay for sensitive noses. They haven't mentioned the full ingredient list and the shelf life is 3 yrs, so I doubt whether they added any harmful preservatives in it. But so far, I experienced so side effects, breakouts or dryness. It cleanses out the oil, dirt and light makeup well and leaves my skin soft and moisturized. Oily skins can skip it in hard summers, because it may make your skin greasy but this cleanser is a perfect treat for normal and dry skin types. Dry skins will love it but not to the extent of skipping your moisturizer. Overall, it is a very good cleansing milk for this price. Surely get one for you! Worth trying!

Hey take a look at here. I used random shades on my hands (Some waterproof and others not), rubbed with this cleansing milk, wiped off and washed. Isn't the result better for the price? But sure, you need a better cleanser for removing waterproof eye makeup.

PROS

• The price! You get 500 ml for 115 bucks!
• Smooth and creamy consistency which glides onto the skin easily.
• Gets washed off completely without leaving any slippery feel.
• Travel friendly and sturdy packaging.
• Cleanses well. Leaves skin fresh and moisturized. 
• Contain natural ingredients like rose water and aloe vera. I felt the softness on my skin :)
• Removes oil, dirt and light makeup effectively. 
• I experienced no side effects such as breakouts or acne
• Screw cap and hence hygienic.

CONS

• The fragrance! It might be strong for sensitive noses.
• Full ingredient list not mentioned.
• This is not a con for this price and goodness, but still I am just mentioning. This is not for removing waterproof and heavy eye makeup.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

My Recommendation: I highly recommend it! At least get the smaller bottle and give a try! Normal and dry skins will love it. 

Will I Repurchase?: Of course! It will take months for me to finish this 500 ml bottle :P

Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Shampoo Review

Good Evening buddies! I am reviewing a shampoo in this post which I have been using now and then for a past few months. It's one of the shampoo from Herbal Essences brand called the "Dangerously Straight Silky and Straight Shampoo" Let us see few lines about the brand first (As per their site). "WANT TO KNOW ABOUT US? then you should know we’re all about hair. not just how your hair looks, but how it feels, smells and, most importantly, how it makes you feel. whether it’s lusciously soft, totally twisted or long and strong, hair is an expression. hair is an experience. it’s time to experience Herbal hair." What is running on your mind now? Is it a shampoo that straightens hair!!?? Right isn't it? So, now let us move on to my review and know more about this shampoo with its PROS and CONS.

Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Silky and Straight Shampoo 

Price: Rs. 148 for 300ml; Rs.90 for 160 ml

Product Description

You love your straight hair but what you do to get it leaves some damage done. Well, go ahead and get a straight look. My lush formula lays hair down with a sleek shine. Need something to calm down your strands? Smooth things over with the lush formula of Herbal Essences Shampoo Dangerously Straight, that has a fusion of pink lily and Asian silk. This smooth shampoo lays down fly-aways for silky-softness that’s totally touchable. 

My Views and Ratings

The Packaging

This shampoo comes in a cute pink coloured plastic bottle with a press type cap. The bottle is semi transparent and hence it is easier to find out how much shampoo is left inside. Luckily, the whole pack is firm and travel friendly. An another plus is that, the bottle is re-usable. I am planning to fill my homemade body lotion after the shampoo gets over :P Overall, the packaging is pretty good. 

5/5

Colour, Consistency and Fragrance

The consistency of the shampoo is normal to runny, while it has a baby pink colour which looked so cute. The shampoo is creamy, smooth and lovable to use, especially the kids in your home will long for it. The shampoo lathers pretty good and washes out easily. It has a very floral and refreshing fragrance. No bad I see in this part too.

5/5

How it Works

There is no such thing called the straightening effect in this shampoo actually. For the price, I didn't expect straightening and all but still I would say they named the product wrong. But other than that, the shampoo cleanses out oil, dirt, pollution and brings out the lustrous hair. My hair becomes smooth, soft even without a conditioner however rough and dry scalps will have to use it along with a good nourishing conditioner. I didn't experience any abnormal hair fall or dandruff while using this shampoo and overall, its a good shampoo for regular use, but don't expect straightening effects. It may make your hair look little straight with its softening effects, but not surely parlor straight.

3.5/5 (-1.5 for wrong naming, or else would have given full ratings)

PROS

1. Lovely packaging. Cute, Sturdy and Travel friendly.
2. Semi transparent bottle helps to find out how much is left in the bottle.
3. Comes in a dirt cheap price.
4. Makes her soft, smooth and light. It doesn't weigh down hair.
5. No side affects such as abnormal hair fall or dandruff.
6. Lathers pretty enough and washes off easily.
7. Because of the pinky-pinky colour, it would attract all the kids.
8. Lovely floral fragrance which stays all day long. Gives a refreshing feel.
9. Perfect for everyday use.

CONS

1. No such thing called the "Straightening Effect". This cant be taken as a con for the price though. 

My Recommedation: Why should we bother about the name? :P The shampoo is good, so give a try buddies!

Overall Rating: 4/5 

Will I Repurchase?: Sure, After this bottle gets over.
