Hair Care

Hey lovelies!

I am really feeling good about writing this post because haircare is something we always worry about because as they say – A woman’s hair is her crowning glory. Thank you so much Lancy for giving us this opportunity. Now looking back, when my hair care was taken care of by my granny and mom, I used to have THICK LUSTROUS hair. Two fat plaits was my ‘hairstyle’ 24×7. Back then, it used to be just oil massage thrice a week and shampoo on Sundays. And my food intake was balanced like every other Indian family and I was a kid who LOVED drinking water and chomping fruits and vegetables – ANY kind of them! So you can imagine what kind of hair and skin I used to have.

Then school (10th standard) ended, and the two plaits thing started to bother me. I wanted to leave hair open and thus got myself my first fancy hair cut (until then it was just trims done by my mom at home). Thankfully, the cut wasn’t too bad and my hair was still lustrous and thick. This was the time when I started applying packs like henna, curd, eggs etc to my hair on weekends. This is by far the BEST phase my hair was in.

After this, junior college (12th standard) ended too and I went off to West Bengal to pursue my graduation. Now, I come from a place where the highest temperature is like 35 degrees and one sunny day is followed by 3 rainy ones. Also, the water in my hometown is like some magic spring water. It does wonders to skin and hair. But after I shifted to West Bengal, within a span of just TWO months in hostel, I lost 1/3rd of my hair! Yeah, you heard me right :( Scorching heat, dry winds, bad unpalatable food, horrendous water all of these robbed me of my hair and skin. I became 3 shades darker and bald patches started showing.
I started taking vitamin supplements and that did tame down the alarming hairfall rate a bit but my orginial hair was gone. But slowly, after I incorporated almonds and more dairy products into my diet, I could see some improvement. But yes, hairfall which was practically non-existent in my hometown was still happening now. Its my sixth year in hostel now and my final month too. I seriously want to get back my original hair now!

I came across a hair oil and shampoo range which worked wonders for me even in this place with extreme climate. You can see in the pictures, it’s the Kesh King range. I have been using their entire range of oil, shampoo, conditioner and capsules (Forgot to add picture) since two months and am extremely happy that I do not see a SINGLE strand on my comb now! I don’t know how it works, but it did work miraculously on me.

Hi Beautiful ladies!

Hope all is well! First of all, I would like to thank Lancy for giving me an opportunity to write about my hair care routine. Regarding my hair care, Since I was born till my college days I was completely taken care by my Grandmother. Ofcource, my haircare has also been her responsibility.

It’s how it was.. She uses homemade coconut oil for my hair. She applies it in the every strand of the hairs and braid it till the end in such a way the ends are not exposed to sunlight. She would give me a hot oil bath every weekend usually with sesame oil. After hair wash, just before my hair dries out completely she will again oil my hair and tie it tightly. Every morning she made me drink curry leaves + curd mixture (Finely grinded fresh curry leaves made into small balls and soaked in curd overnight).

No shampoos or conditioners used on my hair. As a result, I had a thigh level strong, healthy and voluminous hair. She used either one of the following stuffs to wash my hair.

Hello everyone!

I am gonna share my hair care story over here. I have wavy dry hair, middle length and oily scalp. I have to ensure that my scalp is clean because I have an oily scalp and I wash in every two days. I wish to wash my hair everyday but If I do so will prone to cold and throat infection (I don’t want that). Everytime when I wash my hair I apply hair mask and leave it for half an hour or 1 hour according to the requirements. I apply oil the previous night before shampooing. I use Himalaya anti dandruff oil and Himalaya anti dandruff shampoo. I am scared to use chemicals such as paraben, Sulphur and SLS. I never buy shampoos or other hair care products which contains these chemicals.
