Svayam Bhringadi Hair Pack Review

There are plenty of treatments available at beauty salons these days that help you fight damaged, split, frizzy or unhealthy hair and scalp in certain ways. Some of those are really effective while others are only temporary solutions. How about a home remedy that can offer extra care to our hair. Today I'm reviewing Bhringadi Hair Pack from Svayam Naturals.

This is a hair pack made of a number of herbal ingredients like Bhrigandi, Hibiscus, Amla, Shikakai, Multani Mitti, Green Gram, Ashwagandha, Methi, Vetiver. The effectiveness of all these ingredients are tested and proven since ages to boost the condition of hair and scalp in one way or the other. It comes in a jumbo-size glass jar which is too heavy to be carried along while traveling. I wish a smaller packaging can be offered by the brand.

The recipe of this hair pack includes a balanced mix of the ingredients in a finely milled powdered form. You can take the hair pack in a bowl in required quantity as per the length of your hair and add either Yoghurt, Egg, Honey or Oil into it. Stir until it blends into a smooth paste. The pack turns into brown coloured paste as a finished product ready for application.

I initially kept the consistency of the paste thicker, but realized that it was bit difficult to spread as my hair got tangled and I couldn't partition them easily (obviously because no help could be sought in the washroom). To ease the application process next time, I made a thinner paste and decided to apply it outside before heading for a shower. I again had an unpleasant experience when the paste not only got applied on my hair rather was dripping all over. I wasn't sure whether it reached the roots and scalp. Anyways, I waited with lot of patience leaving the mask on hair for next 20 minutes as recommended and then shampooed my hair. It requires a good rinse to take out the mask properly so that the residue is not leaving you with an uncleansed scalp.

To be honest, I hadn't noticed much difference in the appearance of my hair in first couple of uses, but internally it neutralized the damages of pollutants which I could feel on my scalp after next few applications. The soothing effect of the pack on the scalp as well as its natural herbal fragrance gives a pleasure when on hair. Also I'm a real believer in time tested herbal remedies so I'm expecting my beautiful, long hair to get stronger with regular use of Svayam hair pack. I only wish the same product composition can be available in ready-to-use paste form so as to make it easier to apply.

Price: Rs 525 for 300 gm
Shelf Life: 2 months

Svayam Bhringadi Hair Pack is a nourishing hair treatment that will prevent and repair common hair issues without use of chemicals if added to your hair care routine for a long term. It's an all-natural way to give a new life to your hair.

Svayam Urad Daal Face Pack Review

I had written about Svayam oils few months back and totally loved each of the variant I tried. It's but obvious that once I like a few natural products from a brand, I'm keen to try more n more. So this time, I'll come up with few posts on skin care products including scrub and packs.

Today's post is about the all natural Urad Daal face pack that I've been sent to review by the brand a few weeks ago.

As the name suggests, the face pack has key ingredient Urad Daal with few others like Multani Mitti, Neem Leaves, Camphor.

It comes in a clear glass jar with screw cap. The jar is bit heavy and not easily portable along your travel essentials until transferring the product in a smaller container. I wish there was an inner lid as well inside the cap.

The face pack is a finely grained powder and depending on your skin type you may mix curd, milk, rose water or just plain water into it to turn it into a fine paste. I preferred adding spoonful of milk to treat my dry skin. The face pack doesn't come up as a smooth paste after mixing and resembles a home made ubtan from our kitchens.

Make a point to mix only required milk/curd, else it drips over your face and seems messy. But you can always thicken the paste by adding more face pack powder. While on face, the pack doesn't smell pleasant, but I totally like the brand's idea of NOT adding any artificial fragrance to maintain product authenticity. So I'm fine with its natural smell. After rinsing off the face pack, the skin feels instantly brightened up and you may retain the glow by adding the product in your regular skin care regimen.

A jar of 100 gms costs Rs 415 that pinches initially, but looking at the natural ingredients and chemical-free composition, one can overlook the cost for sure. You may order the product easily from online portals like Flipkart, Amazon, Shopclues etc. Also the per-usage quantity is really very less, so one jar goes a long way. The shelf life of the product is 2 months considering the natural ingredients used in the formula. 

The pack which I used is aimed to offer smooth skin and cure mild spots. The brand also sent me a sample pack of Neem face pack that works towards reduction of acne. But since I don't face acne issue ever, I've not personally used it on myself.

In short, these cruelty-free, chemical-free handcrafted Svayam products are worth investing in :)
