Vegetal Hair Conditioner Review

Hello All

In today's post, I have the third product from Vegetal product range to review, after I am done with reviews of their Face pack and Moisturizing Lotion.

Vegetal Hair Conditioner is a pure blend of bio-active extracts for hair and scalp which provide intensive conditioning to dry, frizzy or damaged hair. Acacia concinna (Shikakai) extract enriched with citric and ascorbic acids promote hair follicle activity. Vitamin C of Citrus limon works as a natural conditioner for strengthening of hair roots and increases silky shine of hair.

Ingredients:
Emblica Officinalis (Amla) fruit extract: Amla prevents premature graying of hair and makes them strong and free from dandruff.
Lawsonia inermis (Henna) leave extract: Promising antibacterial properties.

Acacia concinna (Shikakai) fruit extract: Nourishes the hair follicles to promote hair growth. 

Citrus limon (Lemon) fruit extract: Rich source of Vitamin C and citric acid which provide a natural acidic rinse, and help to achieve the perfect shiny and shimmery look.

Usage: Instantly conditioning and shining to dry, frizzy or damaged hair

Direction for Use: Massage gently on scalp in a circular motion after shampooing. Best for dry, lifeless hair and hair loss. 

Price: Rs. 359
Qty: 200 ml

Shelf Life: 2 yrs.

Packaging:
The Vegetal Hair Conditioner comes in a off white color bottle identical to their Moisturizing lotion packaging which I reviewed. It has a flip open cap in the same color. The cap shuts tightly, so makes the packaging spill proof and travel friendly. 

My Experience:
The Vegetal hair conditioner is a viscous liquid of white color. The consistency of the conditioner makes it apt to play around with it when you massage it on damp hair.

Rubbing the conditioner between you palms and then massaging it onto hair shaft is quite an smooth job with this creamy conditioner. I rinse my hair off after keeping the conditioner on for almost 4-5 minutes after shampoo. Its easy to wash away and doesn't leave any greasy after effects on my hair. As a result, the hair length doesn't weigh down post washing.

It makes the hair more manageable with lesser tangles to handle. I also noticed that the itching on my scalp that was persisting for last few days has almost vanished with its continuous use. I can vouch for the effectiveness of its worthy ingredients specially lemon and heena. Right now, My hair n scalp are free from dandruff, but I expect this conditioner will be of great help due to amla in it, when the dandruff appears during winters as I can't dare to use fresh water for head bath and need to use lukewarm water which results in dandruff in my hair. 

The conditioner is nicely fragrant and uplifts my mood during every use. The lovely fragrance is captured in hair for good many hours as I prefer to tie them in a plait or ponytail after they get dry. The fragrance refreshes my mood with its presence as soon as I open my hair even after hours. I am glad to experience softness n shine in my frizz-free hair. 

Pros:
1. Bio Active extract of Amla, Shiakaki & Lemon
2. Intensive conditioning for dry, frizzy or damaged hair
3. Keeps hair tangle free, manageable & lustrous
4. 100% Bio-natural extracts
5. for All Hair types
6. Smells too good.
7. Travel friendly packing.

Cons:
Expensive

Hellozz

I am back with another product review that comes from a brand that is new to me and I have used the first product from their range.

About the Brand:

Once you buy a SaND product, you will get hooked!

Packaging:The conditioner comes in a flattened plastic tub packaging in gold hues and bears a tight screw cap on it. The sample pack that I received doesn't lists any ingredients details on it, but I am sure the full-sized packs would have the same,

My Experience:
Hair & Glory is a metallic gray colored hair conditioner which actually leaves you stunned in the first look ;) Even I myself have never seen or used a beauty product that is of such unusual color. But honestly telling you, I didn't put me off, rather turned on my curiosity as to how would that perform..

The appearance of the conditioner gave me a feeling that it would be having some coarse granules in it, may be because I found it similar to sand's color ;) But when I took out little quantity on my finger and rubbed it between my thumb and finger, I realized its quite smooth and creamy. The consistency is just the appropriate that can be applied easily and evenly on hair.

Coming to the scent used, I swear its fragrance is so herbal & minty refreshing, but on strong notes. Some of you might find it not so appealing, but I liked it without any complaints.

After shampooing my hair, I squeezed excess water from my hair, applied a small measure of the conditioner on my wet hair & then using my fingertips rubbed it onto my roots. I left the conditioner on the scalp and then extended through the lengths and ends of my hair for 2-3 minutes. I could feel a cooling effect on my scalp with conditioner on the hair which I believe is due to Peppermint Essential Oil in the formulation. Lastly I rinsed my hair well, combed through and styled as usual. I was liking the lovely fragrance in my tresses even the next day post head bath.

The aftereffects of the conditioner included soft and moisturized hair as promised by the ingredients like Tender Coconut Water, though I felt my hair weighed down a bit. My hair felt easy to detangle and more manageable. The conditioner worked effectively on the dry ends of my hair and kept them softer.

I have used it only thrice for my alternate day head bath and I believe its continuous usage will make my hair lustrous.

Pros:
Herbal Ingredients.
Suits all hair types.
Moisturizes the hair.
Smells lovely.
Can be used for everyday mild conditioning.
Cruelty free.
Proper consistency.
Gives shine to rough hair.
Doesn't itch the scalp.

Cons:
Availability can be an issue.
Would be much safer in a bottle packaging.
Pricey (but any thing better comes for a price, you see)

Overall Views:
Sand For Soapaholics Hair & Glory Conditioner is one of the great hair conditioners that is chemical free and is infused with exotic skin-safe ingredients. It actually does what it claims by offering you glorious & strong hair with gentle touch.
