Himalaya New Protein Hair Cream

I love my hair and I take extra care to maintain its shiny and healthy condition. I color my hair with heena once every six months. I wash my hair every alternate day and oil them once every week. I have dry scalp so I have been advised to deep condition my hair too.

So when I got Himalaya Protein Hair Cream for review purposes, I was excited to test all its claims -

Product: Himalaya Protein Hair Cream 

Quantity: 175ml

Price:100 Rupees

Action: 

Nourishes your hair with Natural Proteins derived from ingredients like Wheatgerm and Chickpea. Indian Gooseberry and Thistles promote hair growth. Use regularly before and after shampooing for well nourished, soft and shiny hair. It contains Chanaka (Chickpea), which is a rich and natural source of protein that helps in hair growth along with Godhuma (Wheatgerm), which is also a good source of protein and vitamin E. Amalaki (Indian Gooseberry), acts as an anti-oxidant and hair growth promoter while Bhringaraja (Thistles) strengthens hair root and prevents hair fall. Protein hair cream nourishes hair root and shaft.

Indications:

Dry and lifeless hair and hair fall. 

Ingredients Include:

• Cicer arietinum (Bengal Gram, Chanaka)
• Triticum sativum (Common Wheat, Godhuma)
• Emblica officinalis (Indian Gooseberry, Amalaki)
• Eclipta prostrata (Thistles, Bhringaraja)

Directions:

Use daily before and after hair wash.Massage gently on scalp and hair leaving it before an hour before shampooing.Apply to damp hair after every wash for all day extra nourished and stronger hair.

My Take On The Product:

I used this product for quite some time now and I am in a love- hate relationship with it.

I love the consistency of this product - it is thick and non sticky.

I apply this product a night before shampooing my hair the next morning and it works great - it makes my hair soft and shiny.

It is very cheap compared to other hair masks and creams available in the market - Dis is great.

I dont have any hair fall problem so i cant really comment on that.

The product smells like a mild herbal product which is good. The scent is not over-powering.

One thing I didnt not like about the product is that it left my hair oily and sticky when I tried applying this cream after shampooing my hair. So cant use this as a leave-in conditioner.

It has parabens as their inactive ingredients. 

Love it Or Chuck it ? 

Definitely worth a try. Comes dirt cheap!!

My take on the product:

ON THE SHAMPOO:

I am very much into the smell of this product. It is just right – herbal and mild and not over empowering. The good thing about this shampoo and conditioner is that the active ingredients are all herbal.  

I like the fact that I can use this shampoo everyday – since its a mild gentle shampoo. It is perfect for summers when my hair turns greasy due to sweat, dust and pollution almost everyday.  It does the job of cleaning the hair all naturally.

It is good to see an Indian brand launching shampoo for oily hair – Kudos for the effort!

I have dry scalp so I use moisturising shampoo – but I will definitely use this for the summers so that I can shampoo my hair frequently. 

Another nice thing about this product is that it is safe to use on artificially colored or permed hair. This shampoo will be great to wash your hair after you have them colored. I use henna to colour my hair and this shampoo is great to wash my hair right after I rinse the henna off.

The herbal ingredients do not compromise on the cleansing ability of the shampoo and it is successful in effectively removing the dirt and oil from my hair.

ON THE CONDITIONER:

A conditioner is a must for my hair after shampooing since it keeps my hair soft, manageable and tangle free.  This conditioner is successful in serving all the three purposes.

The one thing I noticed on the product was that it is a scalp conditioner. It says on the directions that you need to massage the conditioner onto your scalp and wet hair. I have not tried applying this conditioner on the scalp simply because I think the rule is NOT to apply conditioner on scalp. Let me know if you have applied this on your scalp. Does it make any difference?

Anyways, this conditioner is also gently formulated with active herbal ingredients –making it safe to use it frequently.

The conditioner is creamy thick and white in color. It also coats the hair tips well and after rinsing it off the water, the hair is soft and manageable and tangle free.

 It also smells nice and like a typical herbal product. The fragrance lingers on for a moment. 

Love it or chuck it? –

I would say love it ... will definitely buy it when I need a break from my other shampoo. It is also great for women who would like to go – ORGANIC!  :)
