Garnier Ultra Blends Anti Hair Fall Shampoo Royal Jelly & Lavender : Review

Nisha Malik — Sun, 19 Feb 2017 00:11:58 +0000

Hello Lovely Ladies. Anti hair fall shampoos become necessity during winter season. My hair fall is unreal. It feels like the hair would never stop falling and I would go bald for sure. This winter season was nothing different from the previous years. I faced a lot of hair fall in the month of November & December. By then I had not started using Japakusum Lotion and my Custom Hair Oil Mix. I was searching peace of mind in shampoos and conditioners. In the process, I came across Garnier Ultra Blends Anti Hair Fall Shampoo With Royal Jelly & Lavender. About Garnier Ultra Blends Anti Hair Fall Shampoo Ultra Blends is a relatively new hair care range from Garnier which claims to contain natural & precious ingredients to treat hair problem the natural way. The ingredients are selected carefully on the basis of their proven efficacy. Above all, every formula is parabene free. This specific variant targets hair fall problem. It contains Royal Jelly & Lavender Essence. The herbs are rich in amino acids, vitamins & lipids. The ingredients help to strengthen and reinforce hair. The end result is strong, bouncy & healthy hair. Price Rs. 120 for 175ml. Rs. 230 for 340ml. Rs. 430 for 640ml. Buy here at discounted price. Ingredients Packaging The Ultra Blends range from Garnier has a typical packaging where variants differ in the colour of the bottle. This particular variant comes in a light green honey opaque plastic bottle with a rust coloured cap. The bottle contains attractive graphics of Lavender & a golden coloured bottle supposed to be containing Royal Jelly. The packaging clearly states that the formula is parabene free. Product information & ingredients are listed at the back of the bottle. The bottle contains a shiny rust coloured cap fitted at the top with a leaf embossed at the opening (very typical of the Ultra Blends range packaging). Colour, Texture & Smell It is a runny & creamy shampoo. The shampoo is light honey coloured. The colour is so light that my camera could not pick it. It lathers well. The smell is herbal, mild & pleasant. It smells mostly of Lavender, can’t pick up honey smell in the shampoo. I am a fan of Lavender smell, so it fits the bill. My Experience So I was saying that when my hair starts falling out during winter, they always fall out like crazy. There is no way I can stay calm in that phase. I start hunting for hair care products which can help me sail through that phase. In the same mode of panic, last December, I laid my hands on this anti hair fall shampoo. I was thrilled to read about the product description where it was claimed that the shampoo contained Lavender & Royal Jelly. I was not sure about the effect of Royal Jelly on my hair but I was damn sure Lavender could help me. I need only a dollop of the shampoo to wash my mid length hair, since it lathers well. I am always very gentle when I wash my hair, so I massage my scalp with the shampoo for about 2 minutes before taking the lather till the hair ends. I never apply shampoo directly to the hair ends since it is not advised.The shampoo cleanses my scalp of oil & dirt, without making my hair ends dry. It washes away without any hassle. I like the Lavender smell that the shampoo has. Lavender smells good & it has a calming effect on senses. Coming to the after effect, after using the shampoo for about a month there was significant reduction in my hair fall. I would say it helped me reduce my hair fall upto 50%. I do not think any shampoo has been that much effective on my hair fall problem ever. I can say it has been quite effective on my severe case of hair fall. I finished the bottle in 2 months but never really got it again since, I do not face the hair fall problem now, as I have started using my hair oil regularly along with a wonderful scalp lotion. I can use any shampoo I want. Likes Nice creamy texture. Lathers well & enough. Cleanses my scalp & hair effectively. I saw 50% reduction in my hair fall while I used this shampoo alone. Contains very effective herbs such as Lavender & Royal Jelly. Smells heavenly. Affordable, economical & easily available. Parabene free. Dislikes None Summary : 5/5 This is one of the anti hair fall shampoos that actually worked on my hair. I did see effective results. I think the blend of this shampoo is amazing and the shampoo is gentle for daily use too. The parabene free formula & affordability make it more desirable.

Garnier Ultra Blends Soy Milk & Almonds Intense Repair Shampoo & Conditioner : Review

Nisha Malik — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 09:57:04 +0000

Healthy, lustrous & silky hair, one of the ultimate dreams of every girl. I am not that demanding though, and I would settle for just healthy hair & scalp. I feel shampoo, conditioner & hair serums are superficial. I do not expect much from them. Healthy hair & skin depends upon your eating habits & lifestyle. Brands come out with new hair care ranges every now and then claiming to be more close to nature. Garnier Ultra Blends is also a recently launched range which claims to be parabene free and claims to contain more natural ingredients to deliver much satisfactory results. I have been using Garnier Ultra Blends Soy Milk & Almonds Intense Repair Shampoo & Conditioner from quite a while. Let me share what I feel about this range. About Garnier Ultra Blends Soy Milk & Almonds Intense Repair Shampoo & Conditioner Garnier claims that this Ultra Blends range is free of parabenes while composed of natural ingredients that are carefully selected to deliver the much needed nourishment to hair. This particular Soy Milk & Almonds formula is for the damaged hair to repair them and strengthen them from roots by providing them hair protein from Soy Milk & almonds which are high in protein content. Finally your hair are repaired & restored. Hair feels soft & managed with every wash. Price Garnier Ultra Blends Soy Milk & Almonds Intense Repair Shampoo retails at Rs. 120 for 175ml. Buy here at discount. While the conditioner retails at Rs. 170 for 175ml. Buy here at discount. There is also a combo deal going on in which you get 75ml conditioner with 175ml pack of the shampoo, which I got recently. Ingredients Packaging This range of Garnier hair care claims to be close to nature hence the packaging is soothing and depicts of natural ingredients like almonds & soy milk. The combo comes in white opaque bottles with golden coloured flip top cap. There is an embossing of a leaf at the opening of the flip top cap which is common among all the hair shampoos & conditioners from the same Ultra Blends range. The packaging is sturdy, attractive & travel friendly. The only difference in the packaging of the shampoo and the conditioner is that they disperse product from opposite directons which is a conventional packaging of any shampoo and conditioner from any range/brand. Colour, Texture & Smell The shampoo & conditioner both are runny white liquids where the shampoo is more runny than the conditioner because it is little thicker than the shampoo for the obvious reasons. The shampoo is more like a lotion while the conditioner is creamy in consistency. Both the shampoo & the conditioner smell the same, mild & pleasant. My Experience Garnier Ultra Blends Soy Milk & Almonds Intense Repair Shampoo The shampoo is supposed to be containing Soy Milk & Almonds which makes it very moisturising & creamy. The shampoo lathers well and effectively cleanses my scalp. It gets rid of dirt, sweat & oil in just one wash. It also washes away easily leaving my scalp feeling clean. I never felt any itchiness or allergy after using this shampoo. My hair ends feel soft while am still under shower. I actually feel like not using anything else because they feel quite moisturised. I like the runny consistency of this shampoo because it’s easy to lather and apply onto my hair while I face trouble with Organix Keratin Shampoo which is thick like a conditioner. Also takes little time to lather. I would say that I could not see any difference in my hair’s quality over a time period of 3 months. It’s just a shampoo and can only give an effective cleansing. Garnier Ultra Blends Soy Milk & Almonds Intense Repair Conditioner After using the Shampoo, I squeeze my hair to get rid of the excess water. Then I take some conditioner and apply it from the mid lengths of my hair till the hair ends. Then I carry on with my bath. After 5 minutes or so, I rinse my hair with cold water to take out the conditioner. I air dry my hair. Honestly I am not much pleased with the conditioner since it’s not that creamy that it can moisturize my hair ends well. It is good for fine hair, but my thick & dry hair needs extra care. I also need to use a lot of this conditioner to get decent results. I can get much better results when I combine the shampoo from the same range with any other creamy conditioner/ mask. Likes Like the formula of the shampoo. The shampoo lathers well even on oiled hair. Gentle yet effective. Gets rid of oil & dirt in just one wash. The shampoo will suit all hair types while the conditioner will work for fine hair. The shampoo & the conditioner are free of parabenes. Smells nice. Affordable & easily available. Dislikes The conditioner is not much effective in moisturising my dry hair. The combo did not deliver much in terms of damage repair. Summary I would recommend the Garnier Ultra Blends Soy Milk & Almonds Intense Repair Shampoo for all hair types for effective yet gentle cleansing, but the conditioner can be skipped. The combo is affordable though & is free of parabenes too.

Garnier Ultra Blends Anti Hairfall Conditioner with Royal Jelly and Lavender : Review

Nisha Malik — Mon, 09 Jan 2017 08:18:59 +0000

Today I will be reviewing the Royal jelly and Lavender conditioner from the new Garnier Ultra Blends range. This new haircare range of Garnier is actually the counterpart of the Whole Blends range they have launched for the US and other countries. The Whole Blend range is quite raved about in the beauty world so I was super excited to try the Ultra Blends products. When they first came into the market I got this Royal Jelly and Lavender conditioner along with the oil-in-cream from the same range which I have already reviewed here on High On Gloss. This conditioner is said to reduce hair fall due to breakage. As I am growing out my hair, I am trying to reduce split ends and breakages. That is why I opted for this particular conditioner. Please bear with me to find how it worked. About Revive your hair with blends of natural extracts. Our Philosophy: Nature is the most potent laboratory in the world. Our formulas contain precious natural ingredients finely selected for their known efficacy on hair. Our solution for breaking hair, prone to fall: Our formula is blended with Lavender Essence and Royal Jelly, rich in amino acids, vitamins and lipids. Hair is strong and resists fall. Price Rs.75 for 75 ml. Ingredients WATER, CETYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERINE, AMODIMETHICONE, ALCOHOL, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, STEARYL ALCOHOL, BEHENTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, TRIDECETH-6, CHLORHEXIDINE DIGLUCONATE, HONEY, LINALOOL, ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, PROPOLIS EXTRACT, DIPALMITOYLETHYL HYDROXYETHYLMONIUM METHOSULFATE, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, FRAGRANCE, MYRISTYL ALCOHOL, GERANIOL, CETYL ESTERS, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, CETRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, BHT, CITRIC ACID, CITRONELLOL, COUMARIN, LAVENDER OIL, ROYALJELLY, PHYLLANTHUS EMBLICA FRUIT EXTRACT. (C187611/11). Packaging This conditioner comes in an ochre yellow plastic bottle with cute label graphics depicting fresh lavender sticks and a honey jar. It has a brownish ochre-coloured flip-top cap. There is embossing of leaf shape at the opening. The packaging is quite similar to the shampoo from the same range by Garnier. The packaging is simple yet elegant, sturdy as well as travel-friendly. Colour, Texture & Smell The conditioner is opaque and white in colour. The consistency of this conditioner is thick and creamy. The thickness is similar to other Garnier shampoos but consistency-wise it is creamier. It smells like fresh lavender. The fragrance is very soothing and calming. The smell is slightly stronger when I pour it onto my palm but not at all overpowering when I apply it. It gives me a spa-like relaxing experience and prevents my scalp from smelling foul due to excessive sweating. My Views Immediately after shampooing I squeeze out the excess water from my hair and apply this conditioner on the ends of my hair. I keep it on my hair for about 3-4 minutes and then wash it off. Less is more for this product. Only a dollop of the product is needed for my medium-to-long length hair! The performance of this conditioner is really impressive. My hair looked smoother, shinier and healthier from the first application itself. It has been able to tame my unruly freezes without weighing my hair down. Combing my hair has now become a lot easier. The conditioner is very pocket-friendly. 1 ml of product costs only Re.1. This conditioner contains some of the widely appreciated herbal ingredients like honey, lavender oil, royal jelly and amla extract. Honey is a great nourishment agent for hair, it softens hair. Lavender oil increases blood circulation which enhances hair growth. Royal jelly is rich in biotin which plays a major role in making hair strong from the roots and improving hair texture. Amla controls hair fall and helps to prevent premature greying of hair. Although the product has many herbal constituents it is not entirely free from chemicals like alcohols. This is the only con I could find in this conditioner. Likes Smells awesome. Tames frizz. Free from harmful parabens. Does not make my hair limp. Pocket-friendly. The ingredient list includes some wonderful constituents like honey, royal jelly, lavender oil etc. Dislikes Contains silicones Summary: 4.75/5 I love love love this conditioner. It has amazing soothing fragrance, perfect consistency and fits in my budget too. Its effectiveness has exceeded my expectations. It nourishes my dry hair without making it limp. It reduced hair fall due to breakage to a good extent. My hair looks shinier, healthier after using this conditioner.

Garnier Ultra Blends Oil-in-Cream With 5 Precious Herbs : Review

Nisha Malik — Tue, 03 Jan 2017 17:00:10 +0000

Guest Review by Sreeparna Ganguly Hello people! Today’s review will be about 5 Precious Herbs oil-in-cream from the newly launched the new Garnier Ultra Blends range. Ever since the oil-in-creams hit the market I have become a loyal customer. As I have very frizzy hair, sometimes extra nourishment becomes very important. Depending on my mood, I use hair serum or oil-in-cream. Both the products give good results on my hair. I have been using Garnier Fructis oil-in-cream for very long. I bought this new paraben-free variant 2-3 months ago and have been using regularly since then. Please bear with me to find how it worked on my hair. About Garnier Ultra Blends Oil-in-Cream With 5 Precious Herbs REVIVE YOUR HAIR WITH BLENDS OF NATURAL EXTRACTS REVITALIZING OIL-IN-CREAM. Ultra Blend is a complete haircare range with precious natural ingredients, finely selected for their known efficacy on hair and blended in parabene-free formulas. BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATION: Get the nourishment of hair oils, not the stickiness. This unique Oil-in-cream melts away without leaving sticky residue and does not weigh down your hair down. It is enriched with 5 precious herbs- Green tea, Eucalptus, Aloe, Lemon & Henna. Discover hair that is nourished, healthier & more beautiful thus revitalised. How To Use Use exactly as a hair oil: before wash, after wash or overnight. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately. Price Rs.70 for 100 gm Ingredients WATER, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, MINERAL OIL, GLYCERIN, FRAGRANCE, CETYL DIMETHICONE, BEHENTRIMONIUM, CHLORIDE, CETRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, SODIUM BENZOATE, CITRIC ACID, ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, HEXYL CINNAMAL, LIMNENE, CHLORHEXIDINE DIGLUCONATE, LINALOOL, CITRONELLOL, COCONUT OIL, LEMON FRUIT EXTRACT, MALTODEXTRIN, GERANOIL, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, PEG-45M, CITRAL, ALOE BARBADENSS LEAF, JUICE POWDER, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, CASSIA ITALICA LEAF EXTRACT, CI 19140, EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS LEAF EXTRACT, CI 42090, BHT. Packaging This oil-in-cream comes in a light green coloured tube with a beautiful label graphics showing the 5 precious herbs it contains. It has a golden coloured flip-top cap which shuts with a sharp click. Overall I find the packaging to be simple, fuss-free and spillage-proof. Colour, Texture & Smell This oil-in-cream is white in colour and has a citrus-y fragrance to it. The smell is on the lemony side but not tangy. Its consistency is quite creamy and thick. It is thicker and creamier than the Garnier’s Triple Nutrition variant. Suitability If you have dry hair or combination hair like me, check this out. You will not be disappointed. If you have extremely oily hair, giving it a skip will be a good decision. My Views I use it as a leave-in conditioner when I skip the conditioner after shampoo. Sometimes I use it after conditioning also. It enhances the effectiveness of my conditioner. I take two pea size amounts in my hand and rub between my palms to spread it. Then I apply it only on the ends of my wet hair. Finally, I comb my hair with a wide toothed comb when my hair is almost dried. I have not used it as a pre-shampoo product so I cannot tell how it will substitute hair oils. Garnier has nailed it with the formula for their new range. I have used two other products from the same range and am quite happy with the result. This oil-in-cream is also not an exception. It makes my hair less tangle-prone (if that makes any sense at all!), manages freezes and gives my hair a sheer lustre that stays for 2-3 days. This oil-in-cream is very pocket-friendly too. Considering the quantity and quality it’s a steal deal for me. The most important advantage of this oil-in-cream is that it contains sodium benzoate (a food grade preservative used mainly in tinned fruits and jams) as a preservative, not any kind of paraben. Plus this product is also loaded with the goodness of herbal ingredients that we often use in our hair DIYs. It contains aloe vera leaf juice powder, extract of green tea leaf, eucalyptus leaf extract, lemon fruit extract, coconut oil and henna leaf extract. Citronellol is used as a flavouring agent which is found in citronella oils and rose oil. Likes Makes hair soft to touch. Tames frizzy hair. Pocket-friendly. Ingredients include extracts of henna, lemon, eucalyptus etc. Cleanses the scalp and removes product build-ups Dislikes It contains silicones and alcohols Summary: 4.5/5 Overall, I like this oil-in-cream a lot. It nourishes my dry hair and somehow gives a definition to my curls. It adds shine without limping out my hair. In my opinion, this budget oil-in-cream can easily compete with other pricier leave-in products available in Indian market. Have you used this oil-in-cream? Do you like oil-in-creams or leave-in conditioners? Share in the comments below. You are welcome to share your thoughts too. XOXO
