Khadi Herbal Neem Sat Shampoo Review

13 Replies

Hey girls,

Today I would be reviewing one of Khadi’s hair care product. I was quite satisfied with my Satinique shampoo that I have been using for years. I felt bored of it, so was thinking to change my shampoo for some time. I bought this shampoo around 2 months back from an e-commerce site and I am glad I picked it. Now, lets see how it worked on my hair.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 95 for 210 ml

 

My Take:

This is my first purchase from Khadi and I absolutely love this shampoo. This shampoo comes in a typical Khadi flip top cap packaging.

The first time I used it, I was so surprised with the product.I had squeaky clean hair without any dryness. The shampoo is green in colour and the consistency is little runny. The shampoo does not lather too much but definitely removes oil effectively from hair without drying the scalp. The best part is I don’t need a conditioner with this shampoo. I love the fragrance of neem (might sound strange but its got a very pleasing neem smell).

I didn’t experience any itchy or irritated scalp after using this couple of times. It lives up to its claim. Overall, I am glad I found a right shampoo for my hair. My hair fall has been arrested to certain extent with regular use of this shampoo. I even tried on heavily oiled hair, it did perfectly clean my hair. It does not add shine or bounce to my hair neither it claims so. Overall I am happy with the results and I highly recommend this lovely product. Now I am getting tempted to try other Khadi products too :)

PROS:

  • Cleans well
  • Reasonably priced
  • Completely herbal
  • Huge quantity
  • Very pleasing fragrance
  • Bye bye to itchy scalp
  • Leak proof makes it travel friendly

CONS:

  • Availability is an issue (I picked up from an e-commerce site)

 

Rating: 4/5


So Do I Suggest?:

I do. Give it a try girls. You will surely thank me :)


Will I Repurchase?:

I am not sure if I will repurchase it immediately.Though I love this shampoo, I wish to try their other variants as well.

Meera Herbal Hair Wash Powder Review

9 Replies

Happy rainy season to all of you; hope you are enjoying this lovely weather. I love getting wet in the rain, and since childhood my mother still scolds me every time I do. Anyways, I will review today a product that belongs to my experiments’ list, Meera Herbal Hair Wash Powder.

Price and quantity: 

Rs. 49 for 90g.

 

My Take:

I always try new products for experiment. This product was listed on my favorite online shopping store. After seeing the product description, I searched about this product on Google, then I found out that it is mainly popular in the southern India, and many has tried and praised about this product. Without delaying I bought it. Since my immense hair loss period, I went totally herbal (used no harmful chemical enriched hair products since then). This claimed to be total herbal; once you open it, you will know it by its smell.

It is a quite large jar, and on the cap, it has a flip cover in one side. This flip cover helps to pour right amount, and prevents from a mess.

Well, after cracking the seal, I was very much disappointed; it was only 40% full in this fairly large jar. But also, you will only need one tablespoon of the powder to wash waist-length hair. But then the powder smells like actually mix of herbs like methi (fenugreek), amla etc, which was a relief for me. You might be wondering does this works like shampoo (I was also). Here are some pictures showing how it looks like after mixing with water.

I mix this paste with my fingers to make small bubbles in a bowl. It actually lathers and washes the hair squeaky clean (it was unexpected). One more thing, if you have oiled your hair with thick oils like castor oil or olive oil, you might want to use your daily shampoo; or you could also use this paste mixed with your daily shampoo (I did one time, it works)

After using this powder, I felt that I have done some natural treatment, because the after-effect is like how you get after using a hair pack or treatment. It cleans the hair completely and it does leave a mild smell of the powder which is basically the smell of methi/ fenugreek (not a bad thing though).

Overall, I loved this product. Now, I wish I could have known about this product before.

PROS:

  • Cleans completely like regular shampoo.
  • Contains herbal powders.
  • No chemicals (I hope).
  • Lathers well.
  • Though contains only 40% of the container, will go long time.
  • Flip cap prevents mess.
  • Packaging is good.
  • Very inexpensive.
  • Does what it claims.
  • Smell is not crappy (I have used local herbal products before; it did smell like dog poop).

CONS:

  • The only con is the amount of the product.

 

Rating: 

4.5/5 (0.5 for the con)

 

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, if you crave for herbal shampoos or hair wash products, this is a great product.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes, absolutely.

L’Oreal Professional Serie Expert Sensi Balance Shampoo Review

10 Replies

Hi friends,

The climate is getting hotter day by day and it is taking a heavy toll on my hair and skin. My hair used to be soft and manageable but right now it is lifeless and dull. I have thin hair and my scalp gets itchy because of the hot summer. During my recent visit to a parlour, I told about these issues to my hair dresser and she suggested the L’Oreal Professional Serie Expert Sensi balance shampoo. Here is its review.

Ingredients:

It is a long list of chemical, so I have attached a picture for you to view.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 500 for 250 ml.

My Take:

The shampoo comes in a sturdy transparent plastic bottle with a cap that does not leak. The nozzle is quite big so one has to be careful while using it.

The shampoo is a clear liquid that is quite runny as you can see in the picture. It has a chemical fragrance like that of spirit. It is just bearable but many may find it hard. It does not give a rich lather and this result in a lot of product wastage. If you oil your hair before washing, then you will have to shampoo your hair a few more times than usual to remove any residue.

It gives a very mild cooling sensation when applied. It makes my hair and scalp squeaky clean. The product build up caused by styling can be removed using this. It controlled all the itchiness I faced due to heat and pollution. The hair looks more voluminous after shampooing. It will not provide moisture for the already dry hair. I used a good conditioner and that took care of the mild drying effect of the shampoo. I will use the shampoo as long as the summer lasts.

PROS:

  • Cleans hair and scalp thoroughly
  • Boosts the volume of hair
  • Clears product build up
  • Controls scalp irritations

CONS:

  • Price is on the higher side
  • Might not suit dry haired people
  • Contains SLS and parabens

 

Rating:

4/5

 

Overall verdict:

It is a good clarifying shampoo. Though it seems costly, the amount of product we get compensates for it.

Head & Shoulders Lemon Fresh Anti Dandruff Shampoo Review

13 Replies

Hi everyone,

Hope you all are doing well. I am going to share my thoughts on the Head & Shoulders lemon fresh anti dandruff shampoo today and I am super excited since this is my first article post on MABH. Lemon juice is widely used to get rid of dandruff as a home remedy. So on seeing the lemon fresh shampoo, it was a natural pick for me. Let us see how it fared.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 62 for 80 ml.

 

Ingredients:

My Take:

The shampoo comes in a plastic bottle with a sturdy flip top. Sometimes it can be a pain to open it. But that proves effective in preventing leakages. The small bottle is travel friendly.

The shampoo is pale greenish yellow in color. The consistency is quite thick. It might look like a small dollop on the palm but you end up using more product than required initially. The fragrance is a refreshing citrusy smell. I personally like it. The fragrance lasts for two days post wash.

On application, there is a cooling sensation which I absolutely fell for. It is such a bliss using this shampoo in the summers. Travelling a lot in the day, the dust and pollution caused dandruff which was so annoying. I had to wash my hair every other day to prevent itching but it did not help me to get rid of the flakes. But on using the head & shoulders lemon fresh shampoo, I was pretty pleased as the flakes were gone in the first two washes itself. Their claims are indeed true. That does not mean it eliminates dandruff completely. I used it for two weeks whenever I washed my hair and then cut it down to once a week since the dandruff was pretty much under control. I use my regular shampoo on the other days.

I have an oily scalp; hair is smooth and gets dry only on the ends. This shampoo did wonders to my scalp and I loved how it made my scalp clean and fresh. But the hair was affected on continuous usage. It got really dry and I noticed that the texture also started to change a bit. So it is better to use only when you need to fix your dandruff.

 

PROS:

  • Effective dandruff control
  • Makes scalp squeaky clean
  • Reasonable price
  • Cooling sensation
  • Refreshing fragrance

CONS:

  • Makes the hair dry
  • The smell might not be liked by people with a sensitive nose

 

Rating: 4/5


Overall Verdict:

A really ‘cool’ shampoo to keep your dandruff issues at bay.

TRESemme Hair Fall Defense Shampoo Review

7 Replies

Hi everyone!

Today, I am going to review a shampoo from Tresemme.

Price & Quantity: 

Rs.64 for 100 ml

 

Ingredients:

My Experience:

I can never ever stick to one shampoo. Every time I see some thing that I haven’t tried yet, I feel this one might be better than all those I have used. Let me give this a shot. And it ends up in my shelf. There are so many bottles left half used.

And here is another shampoo I tried some time back when it was a hot launch, TRESemme Hair Fall Defense Shampoo.

Packaging: A black bottle with a press cap. The can be threaded open too. It is a smooth shiny bottle. The entire packing indeed look s very professional.

Color, Consistency & Fragrance: A pearly white thick shampoo looks very attractive in the first glance. The flow out from the bottle is easy. It is not too runny. The consistency is just right for any shampoo. And fragrance seems a little strong than usual. But, it does not bother. It smells nice, typical girlish type of fragrance.

How it works: The shampoo lathers up very easily when dissolve din water. It cleanses all the oil that has been applied before bath. It leaves scalp clean too and gives the fresh feel.

I was experiencing hair fall and hair breakage problem some time ago. It is still there, but has reduced to some extent now. That is why I bought this Hair Fall Defense Shampoo. But I did not feel anything got better on using this shampoo. I used it for quite some time assuming it will not show immediate result. But eventually, my hair turned rough and dry. And that is where I stopped using this shampoo. :(

So, I wish they provided even a smaller quantity bottle for testing this shampoo.

PROS:

  • Good consistency of shampoo.
  • Lathers well enough for the hair wash.
  • Dilute able easily with water.
  • Rinses of easily.
  • Good smell.
  • Easy handling package.
  • Economically priced for a bottle of 100 ml

CONS:

  • Did not help with hair fall or hair breakage.
  • Turned mu hair dry and rough.

 

Rating: 3/5

 

My Recommendation: 

Not really after me experiencing dry hair. You might check and give a small trial before buying a big bottle.

 

Would I Repurchase?: No.

Enliven Raspberry and Red Apple Shampoo Review

6 Replies

Hello everyone!

Today, I am going to review a shampoo from Enliven. Read on to know more about the product.

Price & quantity: 

Rs.60 for 100 ml

My Take:

This Enliven shampoo comes in a nice decent type of packaging. The bottle is crystal clear with a neat form of printed stickers that provides the details of the shampoo. The bottle has a screw cap which is press able on top. When the cap is pressed, it just opens up a small hole for the shampoo to flow out.

The smell of this raspberry shampoo is very fruity. It is a perfect flavor of strawberry… Oh sorry!! That is raspberry. Do they both smell same!? Not sure. :) But it has a very nice fruity smell for a hair product.

The shampoo is a clear gel. It is a thin gel liquid that flows down the bottle hole very easily.

The shampoo lathers very little. The first time when I used this shampoo, I had thought this is not lathering enough to remove the oil I had applied. I assumed that the hair wash will definitely leave my hair sticky and limp. But surprisingly, it had left my hair and scalp squeaky clean. Hair had even become smooth.

When I understood how the shampoo worked, I started doing only one hair wash with this shampoo. I skipped the second wash for my hair. The shampoo gets easily rinsed too.

This product was just the opposite of Coconut Vanilla Body Wash from the same brand I had tried. I had not liked the Enliven Coconut Vanilla body wash. But Enliven Raspberry & Red Apple Shampoo was definitely a way to go shampoo.

PROS:

  • Easy handling package
  • Leak proof bottle makes it travel friendly
  • A clear gel shampoo that lathers very minimum
  • Leaves hair and scalp squeaky clean
  • Easily rinsed with water
  • Makes hair smooth
  • Fruity smell

CONS:

  • Not found anywhere in the general store
  • Found only online through

 

Rating: 4.5/5

 

My Recommendation: 

Yes. Definitely. For a smoother hair, and for a change from your usual shampoo product,  Enliven Raspberry and Red Apple Shampoo can be tried without any fear and doubt.


Would I Repurchase?: 

Yes. I have already bought! :)
