My Experience with shampoo

The cost of this shampoo is 1200 rupees for 200 ml

I dilute this shampoo in some water and wash it so that it evenly distribute in my long hair.

Since it is free from SLES I thought it will foam less but it does foam a lot like a normal detergent shampoo. It has subtle smell which does not bother.
I don't know if it helped with my hair fall but along with Wellwomen hairfollic tables and shampoo, it surely decreased my hair fall. I don't know which product worked. 90% I feel its tablets.
This shampoo also removes oil very nicely.

Cons I would say, It makes my hair super dry and I would not expect SLES free shampoo should do this.

I had already purchased 2 bottles of this and after finishing I am not going to repurchase it.

 My experience with conditioner

The cost of this conditioner is 1200 rupees for 150 ml

I apply it after washing my hair for a minute or two then wash it off.
It does not help with frizz. It does nothing at all I feel.
It does contain paraben which a big NO for me.

I will not buy this again.

Wellwoman Hairfollic tablets review for hairfall..My experience..

I was suffering from too much hair fall all of a sudden. Dermatologist recommended full body checkup to diagnose the root cause.

Then it was reported that vitamin b12 was in range but on lower side and vitamin d3 was low.
He prescribed me vitamin b12 and vitamin d3 along with calcium tablets. I took these but there was no effect on my hair fall.

It was a severe hairfall and nothing was working So I decided to switch to other doctor.

Then I went to Dr. Rinky Kapoor most famous doctor on internet. She prescribed me "Wellwomen Hairfollic tablets" twice daily for 2 months.

I could see a difference in a week. It has drastically controlled my hair fall in a month. Still taking the tablets one in morning and one at night after dinner.

I am very happy with the results and I recommend to the people who are facing too much hair fall like me.

These tablets are multivitamin tablets with amino acids + biotin + selenium + zinc + collagen.
These tablets are safe as they are multivitamin So anything that exceeds gets excreted through urine.
So I would recommend to give it a try.

KAMA Ayurveda Mridul review - A Face Cleanser Or A Scrub

This is good for sensitive skin. But it is suppose to be used as face cleanser but this is good as scrub.
as it is too harsh as cleanser.

Sensitive people like me cannot use it as a cleanser as it will be too harsh but they can use it as a scrub as once or twice in a week.

My experience:

I take half a spoon in a saucer then add little water in it then apply the paste it. After waiting till it semi dries, I wash it off by rubbing it lightly on my face. After wash it I can see a glow on my face which does not remain till longer time but as a scrub it works well.
Also It has herbal smell not too strong I like it when I apply it on my face.

Pros:
1. Very nice herbal smell
2. Gives glow to the face
3. 100% a natural product
4. Does very nice job as a scrub
5. Stainless steel bottle is very cute and spatula is also nice

Con:
1. Too messy to create a paste
2. Harsh as a cleanser for sensitive faces
3. Too expensive for the amount given
4. Can be purchased online or from their outlet
5. The granular parts in the mixture hurts if rubbed.

I will definitely recommend to try this as a scrub.

Review of Shalimar Organic saffron Kashmir Certified Grade A1 Mogra Kesar

I had searched a lot before buying the saffron online about genuineness of the originality.

Then I came to know that there are few ways through which I can check the same.

Before buying there are few things that we can check about the brand

1. It should be ISO3632 certified

2. It should be organic

3. It should be MOGRA Saffron and not the yellow one

After buying we can check again for the genuineness like below

1. Check the color of water after soaking. Color of the water should be golden and not red
2. It should not leave its color immediately after putting into water
3. After soaking for whole night, the threads should not loose its color, they should be red i.e. their original color.
4. While rubbing the threads on hand after soaking, they should not break


Before buying i checked all the above parameters and Since Shalimar Organic Saffron was satisfying the same I purchased the same. And one thing caught my attention was that On Amazon site it was mentioned that It can be safely consumed by pregnant women So I thought this should be very safe for me.

After buying Again I tried to test the genuineness with the above mentioned steps

I soak the saffron threads overnight in water and observed the below.

1. Check the color of water after soaking. Color of the water should be golden and not red

>> Shalimar - Yes it is golden in color

2. It should not leave its color immediately after putting into water

>> Shalimar - It does not leave its color immediately

3. After soaking for whole night, the threads should not loose its color, they should be red i.e. their original color.

>> Shalimar - Shalimar does not satisfy this one. Some threads become yellow in the morning as shown in the picture. I think it has mixture of fake threads and original threads of saffron.
One is yellow and the other one is red.Yellow one's texture is different from the red ones. Sometimes it becomes white also.

4. While rubbing the threads on hand after soaking, they should not break

>> Shalimar - While rubbing it does not break


Final Verdict:

I am still skeptical about the product. I think it has fake threads mixed with original ones. Fake threads ratio is less than the original ones

Will I buy it again?

No. I will try some other brand product.
