Hair Rebonding – For Uber Sleek, Straight and Shiny Hair!

I just had my hair rebonded… I was desperately waiting for virgin hair to grow back so that I could get them rebonded once again. It took six long hours to get the process done, but I must say the effect was actually worth it. I am so ecstatic, I thought of sharing my experience with you. I have always had unruly wavy locks and I had to constantly keep them tied. I just wished I could leave them open at times, but taming my frizzy hair was quite tedious. And for a lazy girl like me, the idea of blow drying and hair straightening each day was beyond the bounds of possibility.  

I had heard about hair rebonding, but like every other girl, I didn’t want to torment my hair with harsh chemicals. But when my hair stylist assured me that rebonded hair when done right and taken good care of, can make you look absolutely gorgeous, I was keen to take the plunge. It was about one and a half years ago when I had done hair rebonding for the first time, and earned several compliments too! But back then I was naive about hair care for rebonded hair, and ended up having lots of split ends. So, this time I confronted my hair stylist and enquired about all the knacks attached to rebonding. Here’s what he shared with me.

In a nutshell you can say hair rebonding is the process of making your hair straight, sleek and super shiny, the natural bonds of your hair are broken and then straightened with the help of a cream softener, straightened with the help of iron and then neutralized with another chemical solution.

The Process of Hair Rebonding

  • First your hair is washed with a mild shampoo, conditioned and then smoothed with a soothing serum.
  • Your hair is then parted and a relaxant or chemical softener is applied to every hair shaft. During this entire process your hair should be kept straight. Your stylist may use a thin plastic board to keep the hair straight.
  • After leaving it on for a few minutes, hair are steamed and rinsed thoroughly.
  • Hair serum is again applied and then your hair is blow dried.
  • A flat straightening iron is used to break the curls further. Make sure the temperature of the iron is not more than 180 degrees and preferably use a ceramic iron. The stylist will iron your hair till they are satisfactorily smooth and shiny.
  • Finally the bonds are neutralized and stabilized with the help of a neutralizing solution. The neutralizer is kept for fifteen to twenty minutes and then washed off with cold water, followed by a serum and blow dry.

The Precautions

  • Wait for 3 days before you shampoo your hair.
  • Don’t tuck your hair behind your ears or use any hair pins.
  • Remember not to bend your hair while sleeping.

Care for Rebonded Hair

  • Always use a shampoo designed exclusively for straight hair.
  • Don’t ever skip the conditioner. It’s a must for chemically treated hair.
  • After towel drying your hair, use a hair serum regularly.
  • Regularly massage your hair with coconut oil or olive oil.
  • Use homemade hair masks to deep condition your hair. You can apply curd, egg, olive oil or Aloe Vera gel.
  • Always use cold water to rinse your hair.
  • Consume a balanced diet rich in proteins. Try eating lean meat, nuts and sprouts.
  • Forget about any other chemical treatment for at least six month.
  • Trim your hair every three months.

Your hair is a vital part of your personality. So, before you decide to take the plunge make sure your stylist uses good quality products. I have tried both L’Oreal Professional and Matrix, and trust me, both of them are safe. Rebonding is quite an expensive process and the cost varies with hair length and texture. All my dear lovelies, go ahead, try hair rebonding, flaunt your super sexy locks and please don’t forget to share your experience with me!

Bushy Eyebrows Trend – New Season’s Must Have

VN:F [1.9.20_1166]
Rating: +2 (from 2 votes)

Plucking and tweezing your thick bushy eyebrows feels like hassle every week, doesn’t it? Well, you may throw away your tweezers now, because soon your bushy eyebrows are going to bring in oodles of envious glances. Naturalness is dominating the runways this season… be it nude lips or a bare face! Perfectly groomed thin and limp brows are so yesterday; the hottest trend for the spring is strong, bold eyebrows! Natural, hairy eyebrows are slowly seeping in to be a mainstream beauty trend, taking over the age old trend of pencil thin, over plucked brows.

Fashion mags, Celebs, runways models, makeup artists are all finding new ways to show off big beautiful brows. Thick, eyebrows don’t necessarily have to be unruly and masculine. You just need to keep them natural, but not too messy. There should not be a perfect clean line defined on your brows like the ones you get from waxing and threading. You can create a dramatically beautiful look by simply keeping the lowest row of eyebrow hair unshaped so as to look natural and slightly messy.

You must be wondering, how to get the look when you have overplayed with your tweezers already. Don’t you worry, all my feminine lovelies, the trick here is to not let them grow back all at once, instead try growing one row underneath your brows at a time. This way you will feel better about yourself and not look harsh. Your eyebrows will get back to their natural self in around 6 months. Well, that a pretty long period. So, in the meantime I have a little trick for you…Try to camouflage the brow stubble with the help of a powdered or stick highlighter. The highlighter will reflect light from the regrowth, so that it does not look awkward and much obvious.

Giving you the most beautiful eyebrows is definitely not an easy task. If you find it difficult to wait for the brow to grow back, try using brow pencil or brow powders to create a fuller effect.  Go for a shade that is identical to your natural brow color or one shade lighter. Make sure the brow looks blended and not drawn on your face. Another tip is to fluff the hairs with the help of clear mascara.

A furry fringe, however doesn’t not compliment every face. Your brows should frame your face, giving a strong natural look. I personally feel that well defined eyebrows accentuate the natural beauty of your eyes. Come out of the usual rut, and play it up girl!!!

VLCC Skin Defense Wild Turmeric Face Wash

VN:F [1.9.20_1166]
Rating: +2 (from 2 votes)

Product Claims

VLCC Wild Turmeric Face Wash is described as a natural cleanser that derives its unique benefits from the antiseptic properties of pure honey and turmeric to shield your skin from any damage. It purges your skin from the deepest pores by eliminating all the pollutants and harmful microbes, and leaves your skin feeling fresh and squeaky clean.

Price – Rs. 115 for 100ml

Shelf Life – 3 years from the Mfd. Date

My take on VLCC Wild Turmeric Face Wash

Recently, there has been a lot of raving about the VLCC’s Skin Defense range, and my overt love for natural products made me buy this all natural Wild Turmeric Face Wash from VLCC Natural Sciences.

You certainly need a clean palette to embrace a flawless skin and this natural cleanser does exactly the same to get you a flawless glowing skin. It is an all natural cleanser, meant for all skin types that purge your skin from dirt, dust, grime and makeup, leaving it feeling fresh, clean and little tingling.

The product is contained in a slim bottle with a flip cap. It has a transparent, light orange color and the texture is a little runny and slipper. It has a faintly medicinal scent, like that of turmeric but there is nothing unpleasant about it.

However, this face wash does not lather much, and I had to use a coin sized amount for my face and neck. One thing that bothered me was that when you try to wash it off, it feels like a weird film on the top of your skin that is hard to remove. I must say my skin felt incredibly clean and refreshed after using this face wash but at the same time it was terribly tight too. You need to follow this cleanser with a rich moisturizer in order to combat the excessive dryness, but if you have oily skin, I definitely recommend this facial cleanser.

Photos and Swatches

What I liked about the product-

  • Offers squeaky clean, refreshed skin
  • Gives soft gentle lather
  • All natural ingredients
  • Affordably priced

What I didn’t like-

  • Dries out my skin
  • Slippery texture that does not wash away easily

Bottom Line

Overall, this product does a decent job of deep cleansing your skin naturally and I can safely recommend this product to people with oily skin.

Lotus Herbals Strawberry Lip Balm Review

VN:F [1.9.20_1166]
Rating: +2 (from 2 votes)

Product Claims

Lotus Herbals Strawberry Lip Balm is laced with highly active moisturizing formula exclusively formulated to repair dry, chapped and cracked lips and to protect your lips from drying in the chilly winds of winter. The goodness of almond oil, jojoba oil, honey and strawberry extracts packed affluently in this incredibly nourishing balm makes your lips healthier and smoother.

PriceRs. 125 for 5 gm

Shelf Life – 3 years

My take on Lotus Herbals Strawberry Lip Balm

I have this silly habit of licking my lips every time I feel they are drying out, especially when there is a nip in the air. As a result, my poor lips inevitably turn red and extremely uncomfortable in the cold dry winds of winter and to soothe them, I find moisturizing lip balms to be my ultimate haven. Flavored lip balms especially the strawberry one is my personal favorite. I have been using Lotus Herbals Lip balm from quite a long time. I really liked it and therefore thought of sharing my experience with you.

The Lotus Herbals strawberry lip balm comes in a cute, transparent, tiny tub packaging with a very sturdy, screw-cap. The product has a little thick and waxy, pink colored texture that you need to apply with your fingertips. I like the fact that it does not give any color but it certainly gives your lips an amazing sheen. Its creamy formula is extremely moisturizing and works wonder for my chapped lips. And the best part about the lip balm is its delicious fruity fragrance of fresh strawberries that I just love!

The balm stays on my lips for about two to three hours, and I need to reapply it often. I must say, it is a super affordably priced, great lip balm that carries out the claim of healthy and smooth lips absolutely well. Though, I would have adored it more if it contained SPF. Another downside that I felt is the tub packing because you have to take the product with your fingers and this can make it a breeding ground for millions of bacteria.

Colorbar I-Glide Eye Pencil Review

VN:F [1.9.20_1166]
Rating: +4 (from 4 votes)

Product Claims

ColorBar I-Glide Eye Pencil is described as an eye crayon that perfectly defines your eyes just like an eye pencil and glides with the ease of a liquid liner. The eye pencil is comprised of a super smooth formula that delivers rich color to your lash line in just one stroke and blends easily after a single application. This amazing eye liner accentuates your eyes for more than 8 hours and does not bleed or feather out. It is available in six fantastic shades including Jaded, Electra, Silver hue, Prunella and Blackout.

Price – Rs. 325

Shelf Life – 3 years from Mfd.

My take on ColorBar I-Glide Eye Pencil

When it comes to eyeliners, I am overtly choosy. My eyeliner should be the easiest to use, give the smoothest finish and have the best pigmentation and non smudge-ability, I settle for no less! Colorbar is my absolute favorite brand, as it delivers amazing eyeliners at wonderful prices. So when it launched its new I-Glide range, I rushed to get one for me. But I ended buying them in three fabulous shades including Blackout, Jaded and the Electra.

These silver colored eye pencils have a color coordinated tab at the end so as to indicate the color of the eye liner and the pencils come packed in a fine silver box. All the three shades are highly pigmented and last easily for the whole day without flaking or feathering. The texture is smooth, creamy and gives a nice intense color with just one or two swipes. I love the fact that it is totally smudge proof and it saves me from embarrassing raccoon eyes because I tend to rub my eyes too often.

For a casual day out with friends, I prefer Electra, which is a vibrant peacock blue shade or Jaded, which is a deep green shade. Blackout is the classic blackest black one that defines your look for perfectly for a formal occasion.

The eye liner is non retractable, which I feel is a plus point, especially considering the hygiene issues and also you may sharpen them any time to get thin or thick lines as per your mood. But the only thing is that it is a plastic packing that becomes difficult to sharpen, had it been a wooden one, the product would have been better and much easier to sharpen.

Photos and Swatches

Pros of ColorBar I-Glide Eye Pencil

  • Smooth creamy texture that allows easy application
  • Delivers rich color in single swipe
  • Great staying power and awesome pigmentation
  • Totally waterproof and smudge proof
  • Non-retractable

Cons of Colorbar I-Glide Eye Pencil

  • Can’t be used on waterline
  • Sharpening involves product wastage

Bottom Line

Super soft, nicely pigmented and long lasting eye pencils… I bet you are going to love it! I am definitely going to try the Coal Mine next!!!

Charm Your Prince Charming with a Romantic Look This Valentine’s Day

VN:F [1.9.20_1166]
Rating: +2 (from 2 votes)

Charm Your Prince Charming with a Romantic Look This Valentine’s Day

Perfumed garden, candlelit dinners by the fire, a dim twilight stroll on the beach and a fountain singing divine melodies of love… so, you have planned an uber romantic date with your love on the day of love. Whether it’s your long time boyfriend or someone new, romance is certainly going to put a twinkle in your eyes, a pucker on your lips and the rosy glow on your cheeks but for a day as special as Valentine’s Day every girl wants to look dolled up, isn’t it? Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and of course you want to look absolutely gorgeous, and of course there are butterflies in your tummy. Not to worry dear ladies, scroll up to read a complete manual that can make you look like million bucks for the one you love.

Makeup for the Day!

Love makes everything beautiful and soft, romantic makeup enhances your beauty further.  Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you the lit-from-within glow adorned by all romantics in the movies.

  • Cleanse your face thoroughly and slather on a good moisturizer to prep your skin for a beautiful, romantic look.
  • Use a sheer foundation to create a fresh, dewy and luminous face. Use a brush or wet sponge to blend it nicely. You may try Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation or MAC Mineralize Satin Finish Foundation to get the look.
  • Pat a tiny amount of concealer if you need to camouflage any blemishes or dark circles. But please don’t overdo, it may settles on your skin and makes fine lines more obvious giving you a crinkled look, utterly unromantic right?
  • A stroke of shimmery highlighter on your temples, brow bone and down the center of your nose will bestow your face with a magical romantic touch. Remember loose shimmer looks glamorous but at the same time bling of loose glitter looks downright tacky.
  • Now swipe a sweet pop of baby pink blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend it nicely to get a candy sweet face. Use a deeper shade of the same family to contour your cheek bones.
  • For eyes that say I love you, skip the eyeliner and try colored mascaras to open up your eyes. You may curl your lashes to make them look wide and flirtatious!
  • Add a flirty gloss to your lips and you are done!

Romantic Hair Ideas

Whether you are spending a romantic evening at home with your sweetheart or heading out, a romantic hairstyle will make you look and feel ravishingly gorgeous. If you are ready to give your hair a touch of romance, consider these options-

  • Straight up Sexy- Guys subconsciously love manes that look clean and healthy. Keep your hair smooth straight and shiny and leave them open. Use silicon based straightening serum on damp hair before you blow dry. Divide your hair into three to six sections depending on the thickness of your hair and then use a paddle brush to make them super straight and finally infuse some shine with a light spray.
  • Tender Tousled Waves- If you have naturally wavy hair, its best to enhance your look with tousled waves that look playful and uber romantic. To get the look, you need to blow dry your hair until it is half way dry. Apply a volumizing spray on damp hair and use your fingers to dry the rest of your hair while applying a texturizing cream.
  • Romantic Half up, Half Down- The half up, half down look looks absolutely fabulous for curly hair. Pull the upper portion of your hair in a ponytail and secure it with an elastic band. Finish the look with gorgeous hair accessories. You may even let some loose curls to fall on your face.
  • Sexy Side Ponytail- Wearing a side ponytail is a terrific, fun look for girls with long hair. Create an off-center part in towel dried hair, then use a blow drier and a brush to smooth your hair, gather them from the sides and the crown and bring them to the nape of your neck, just behind your ear and secure it with an elastic band. You can either keep them straight or use a curling iron to give them romantic curls.

Show Little Love in your Dress

Whether attached or single, Valentine’s Day is the best to debut your favorite dresses. Whether you have planned a romantic evening or are going for a night out with your gal-pals, there are endless options to dress festively and without looking cheesy.

For a Flirty Day Out- Hot pink and soft pink tops look great when you are heading out for a day out. Tank top donned with a shrug and pair of blue jeans is just perfect. Flirty floral frocks are another great option, but make sure the cut and fabric flatters your figure.

For A Romantic Evening- The timeless little red dress looks totally amazing with a pretty empire or a sexy strapless and is perfect for a romantic but exciting dinner date. It’s best to plan your outfit in advance, especially if you are rushing at the last minute, you can end up buying something that looks wonderful but is extremely uncomfortable. Complete your ensemble with sexy high heels.

While the city begins to prepare for the romantic week, it’s high time you begin yours. I am sure your valentine will not be able to take his eyes off!

Sleep’s Beauty-Boosting Benefits

VN:F [1.9.20_1166]
Rating: 0 (from 0 votes)

You sure don’t want to seize the record for beauty sleep from Sleeping Beauty, you may not even be enthralled with the idea of your prince charming coming to your rescue but still you can’t deny the benefits of having enough zzz’s every night. The pros of beauty sleep have been drilled into us right from our childhood by our parents, teachers and even doctors. Still, beauty sleep is often considered a myth, but it not only does really exist, in fact it’s essentially the essence for your complete mental, physical and emotional well being. And if that’s not enough to enchant you, beauty sleep keeps you looking young, refreshed and radiant all day long. Read on to know what beauty sleep can do for your…

Eyes

Burning the midnight oil is probably the reason you are stuck hauling the overnight bags the next morning. Bloodshot, puffy eyes and dark circles obviously reveal that you haven’t slept last night. Let your eyes and body enjoy adequate rest so as to benefit your appearance in ostensibly endless ways. Getting sufficient sleep can alleviate the darkness and puffiness around your eyes. Moreover, after a good night’s sleep your eyes are visibly whiter and clearer and you certainly look more vivacious and ravishing.

Complexion

Ashy, washed out skin bothering you? Skimp on your snooze time and it will definitely wreck your skin. When you are tired, the blood doesn’t flow efficiently and this makes your skin look dull and boring. A sound sleep has an incredible skin rejuvenation factor. While you shut eyes and rest, your skin renews itself naturally, giving you a gorgeous complexion. Staying well rested leads to a smoother skin, fewer breakouts and your skin won’t lose its elasticity as well.

Hair

You love long luscious hair, don’t you? What if I suggest a good night’s sleep can get you long hair that we all yearn for? Your hair follicle needs rest too! While you are dozing off, the growth hormones are at its peak and promote hair growth and health. Cotton pillow covers exacerbate frizzy hair; therefore try sleeping on silk pillowcases to maintain smooth and shiny hair.

Acne

Insulin and inflammation, the two major culprits for acne are both aggravated by sleep deprivation. Though, not having enough sleep may not be the sole reason for your acne but it is definitely a contributing factor. Sleep more and you will breakout less. A good night’s sleep strengthens your immune system and thus helps to fight against infection and clear blemishes quickly.

Wrinkles

While your body is at rest, it produces more protein for cell repair and therefore arrests all damage from sun and pollution. 8 hours of shut eye increases the production of Human Growth Hormone, essential to retain skin’s elasticity. Sleep more and you will be less likely to wrinkle.

Beauty sleep doesn’t need you to do anything special, just make sure that you snooze for at least six to seven hours every night. Well, I am sure going to bed early tonight… what about you?

Lotus Herbals Neemwash Review

VN:F [1.9.20_1166]
Rating: +5 (from 7 votes)

Product Claims

Lotus Herbals Neemwash is described as an innovative face wash that is enriched with the goodness of neem and clove. Neem slices and clove extracts contained in this antiseptic face wash provide your skin the ultimate anti-microbial protection. It is an excellent face wash that deep cleanses your skin and cures blemishes, acne, eczema and psoriasis.

Price- Rs 110 for 80 gm

Shelf life- 3 years

Active Ingredients- Neem extract, active neem extract, clove extract.

My take on Lotus Herbals Neemwash

My skin was breaking out a lot recently. Every morning I was waking up with a new huge and ugly pimple, thanks to overactive sebaceous glands. Maybe it’s the corrupting hormonal imbalance or just that I was taking a lot of stress. My mom gave me Lotus Herbals Neemwash to cure those horrifying acne. This face wash claims to contain active neem slices that have amazing anti-microbial properties. It is a fairly good face wash that actually abated the appearance of acne on my face.

This face wash comes in a clear and convenient, easy to carry, transparent tube, and you can actually see the neem slices in it. The face wash is clear with a greenish tinge and the texture is almost gel like. It is very refreshing and soothing face wash that has herbal neem like fragrance. It lathers well and therefore even a pea sized amount can make your skin squeaky clean. And what’s more, the product cleared up all my acne and that too within four to five days. The neem slices are hard to crush, but the face wash is laced with all the essential benefits of neem and clove. I must say, I really liked the product.

Although Lotus claims the face wash to be good for all skin types but it’s going to be extremely drying for people with dry or sensitive skin. Well, any acne fighting face wash has to be a little drying so as to be effective.

What I liked about the product

  • A refreshing and purifying face wash
  • Deep cleanses your skin
  • Gel like texture that lathers well

Bottom Line:

Overall, I will rate it as a good, purifying and soothing face wash to get rid of acne and other skin troubles, especially for people with oily skin. Go ahead, try it!

Trend Update – Brighten Your Spring With Neon

VN:F [1.9.20_1166]
Rating: 0 (from 0 votes)

Early spring has kicked in already, everything is bright and beautiful. There can be nothing better than giving the shining sun some serious competition this time with shockingly vibrant makeup hues. Be creative, be playful and experiment with exciting electric pinks, neon greens and acid oranges. A dash of vibrant color on your cheeks, eyes or even lips when coupled with your amazing confidence brings out the hot spring neon and nude look perfectly well. Young girls may love the playful look but if you are past thirty, make sure to complete the ensemble selectively and smartly. Before you plunge in to try the bold look, be certain that neon look defines your personality absolutely.

Less Is More!

Neon hues are bright and funky; to make them look exotic, don’t just overdo it. You may end up looking clownish and gaudy at times.  It would be better if you use them sparingly to highlight a color that puts the accent on the rest of your outfit as well. Keep the rest of your attire simple, more neutral or even solid in color. Neon greens go well with light blue shades and if you are wearing black opt for electric pink hues. Complement these colors with right accessories and clothes and you will definitely stand out in the crowd.

Don’t Overdo Matching

Never use the dramatic color palette as a color scheme, rather, use it to bring out your best features. The combination of orange eyes, orange lips and orange blush, all stacked up at once is a deadly and unforgivable fashion faux pas. Go for a lush, nude lips look if you are wearing an electric blue eye shadow and when you are being playful with your lips then keep the eyes neutral with a dash of mascara. Flaunting the neon look requires you to strike the perfect balance with colors.

At Times, Go Untamed!

Sometimes bring out the rebel in you and team up the season’s most outlandish neon hues for a girlie night out.  Spice up your look with a hot pink, lime green or orange color. Drop all your inhibitions; your attitude is all you need to sport this flirty look!
