I loved this hair oil "Dabur Vatika Hair oil" it is a coconut oil base with henna, amla, rosemary, lemon. I applied it for almost 6 hrs you can even leave it for just 30 min, and i loved the result soft shiny hair. Would give 5/5 for this hair oil. You can find it in almost every indian store.

Himani Navratna oil Ayurvedic - review



As it says " An Excellent Cool Oil" it is. I tried it when i had severe headache. It has Pudina ka Tel which is very refreshing and i loved it. I would give it 10/10.

The other best part of it is i felt my hair was soft and shiny after shampooing.

The price is also very reasonable. I bought a 100 ml bottle and it costs 41.00 INR.

Indian girls hair saga

In India right from birth a girl will be judged on her skin color, features like her eyes, forehead, lips, nose, HAIR texture etc.. OK i purposely put it in caps, not just in India all over the world people love shiny frizz free straight hair on girls. But whats a girls supposed to do if she has got curly, wavy hair, oil it everyday and put it in braid or plait ?

Yes majority of Indian girls, women braid their hair, but i feel if you have well maintained hair you need to flaunt it. Outside India I have seen 90% of women use blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron, hot brush, rollers to set their hair along with hair serums, heat tamer, shine serums and the outcome of all this is really straight shiny hair, or very curly hair which looks very good.

In India I feel people don't want to damage their hair and want all natural that's why they opt for hair oils and I love hair oils but not 24/7 i use all kinds of hair oils like Amla, Coconut, Almond , Olive oil, Himani
Navratna Oil but still my hair remains wavy and thick not like those model which they show in hair oil, shampoo ads or bollywood heroins so what am i supposed to do ?

Here are some of my tips for Indian girls like who have thick frizzy wavy hair and whose hair grows even bigger when it dries . LOL yup my hair gets big like a cotton candy..

-- before hair wash, apply any hair oil of your choice for at least 1 hr.Do hot oil treatment you can either warm oil and apply to scalp, or use wrap a hot towel around ur head for 5 min for that you just dip a towel in hot water and wring it.

-- use shampoo and conditioner for dry hair which has high moisture content. In India few brands which I know are Sunsilk Black Shine, Sunsilk Damage Control, Lakme shine control, Himalaya protein cream, or anything which says hair softner, hair mask.

-- Use leave in conditioner on your towel dried hair. Get one for your hair type.

-- You can use hair dryer if you want to straighten you hair. U need a hair dryer, a round brush and heat protectent serum . You can use lakme shine serum, livon hair potion, but i m not sure if they are heat protectent since i could not find anything else in India i started using it. They also give shine to your hair. Or you can skip the hair dryer and use just this serum.

-- after all these steps your hair must be soft and shiny .
