Hair Accessory Haul

Hey guys! What's up? My sleepless nights are getting better now. My babe is sleeping through the night. I'm getting a decent amount of sleep, so thankfully the zombie phase is over :D
#MomsterUpdate

I recently did a bit of an accessory haul. A mix of street shopping and an Accessorise haul (more of that in the next post :)).
I'd been eyeing cuff hair ties for quite some time. I suddenly chanced upon this in a street shop for Rs.25/- I spotted the studded bow right beside it and couldn't help picking it too :) Isn't it adorable?!?

I finally found a roller pin. These are extremely useful to hold up buns.

The flat elastic hair ties are from Accessorize. Got them at 50% Sale!

Do you think you'll ever grow up? I don't and hope not :D

Organix/OGX Coconut Water Weightless Hydration Oil


                         

Price: Rs.725/- for 118ml
Available: Nykaa, Purplle, Flipkart, Jabong.

Company claims:
Drench your dehydrated strands in this ultra-light blend of weightless hydrating coconut water, supercharged with nutrient rich electrolytes and combined with coconut oil to transform dry, parched hair into silky shiny perfection.

After shampooing, towel dry hair, spray weightless hydration oil evenly onto damp hair then blow   dry to infuse it into the hair shafts. Finish by misting all over for optimal shine and hydration.


                         


               

I fall in love with every OGX product I use. All of their products are really commendable and they actually work.

Firstly, I love the packaging. It’s a cute, handy, travel friendly plastic bottle with the best  pump I’ve ever used.The pump sprays a fine mist,very evenly. There’s no gloppy product oozing out or leakage whatsoever.

OGX or Organix is a cruelty free brand. Does not test on animals.
It is sulphate and Paraben free.

The product looks like water in the bottle. The texture is exactly what it claims- Weightless Oil. It is extremely light, not greasy at all. It basically acts as a serum.

The best thing about it is the smell. I LOVE it. It has a very sweet nutty-vanillary fragrance. Very difficult to explain but do give it a sniff if you get a chance. It leaves the hair smelling amazing! The fragrance stays on my hair for approx 5-6 hrs.

Does it work you ask? Oh yeah! It makes my hair shiny and keeps it looking healthy. My hair feels and looks so much smoother. The effect lasts on my hair for 2 days..  
The consistency is so light that it is very difficult to go overboard with it.

How I use it – I use this on clean dry hair. I either spray it directly on my hair (from the middle to the ends of my hair) or spray some on my palms, rub it in and then work my palms into the hair.
This does not attract dust or pollution like many other serums or creams do and hence less build-up.
It works just as well through out the year in all weather conditions.

I LOVE this product and recommend it to everyone I know! 
I also use it as a heat protectant and it does a damn fine job.

I have this oil since over 7 months and I use it pretty religiously everytime I wash my hair. I haven't even finished half yet. So I know this is going to last me a long looong time, thus justifying the price.

I haven't used any heating tool here. Just the OGX weightless hydration Oil on freshly shampoo-ed hair.

BBLUNT One Night Stand Temporary Hair Colour - Blue Velvet

Hey there guys... i wanted to talk about the new product out in the market. For those of you who donot dare to colour their hair permanently or are too fickle minded like me, here goes:  

It claims:
Colour on your own terms. A cool new way to colour hair without having to commit permanently. Spray on to add a dramatic splash of colour to your day! Simply shampoo to wash off colour.
Specially created for Indian hair.

Directions:
Shake can well before use. Apply to dry styled hair. Isolate the section you want to colour. Hold can six inches away from the hair and spray evenly on the desired area. Leave to dry. Brush out excess if required. Wear protective gear to prevent colour from staining hands & clothes.

Price:
Rs.300/-

Comes in the colours: Blue Velvet, Bronze, Emerald Green and Copper 


I was very excited to see an indian brand come up with temporary hair colour in a spray can…”specially created for indian hair”. By that I assume for dark hair. Since no colour tends to look prominent on dark hair for obvious reasons. But I shudder at the thought of chemically treating my hair… this was like a granted wish. Again love the concept about ‘One night Stand’ , temporary colour… for females like me whose choices swing as per her moods.

BBlunt Temporary Hair Colour


Like the instruction suggests, I draped a towel to avoid any mess. I sectioned out the strand i wanted and put up the rest of my hair in a bun. 


I was so pleasantly surprised that the colour showed right from the first spray. A nice metallic sheen of blue which I loved! But I had to spray a couple of times for an opaque finish.




I managed to turn both my palms blue. But no worries, it washed away immediately when put under water.  It took say 5-7 mins to completely dry.
The product did not burn my eyes or irritate my skin. The scent is a little pungent but nothing repelling. 
The coloured strand turns a little stiff. But I brushed it slightly with a wide toothed comb, once dry, so it mixes along with the rest of the hair.






I was half expecting the colour to smudge all over my top and hand. But No! it did not transfer!! Maybe a little when rubbed a little harshly. But does not transfer on clothes. Although I’d suggest not to wear whites. Why stretch your luck right?


I had sprayed this say in the evening. The next day morning I woke up with a faded blue streak. Not entirely gone but not too prominent either. And it was almost all gone away by noon. The colour literally washes away in even plain water.
Well can’t complain…’coz it was just a One Night Stand… but I’m surely coming back for more ;)

A Big Thumbs up!
