Loreal Liss Ultime Serum ~ Review

I had been planning to write a review on this for the past 2 months but I guess it wanted to come out on my blog on Republic Day only :)

Happy Republic Day to all my Indian friends :) 
I missed the parade this year,,but never mind next year I will watch it for sure, 
as a Army kid I have always lived in an environment which motivated me to get into the Armed Forces but well things took a turn and I landed up somewhere else :) but the spirit of doing something worthwhile for your country never died in me,,being a responsible citizen is the least you can do for your country, knowing very well that there are people guarding your country with a proud smile on their face and not with a thought that there is a constant risk to their life..

So,,,,,,
Back to how you can guard your hair if you use constant heat to style them.

Loreal Liss Ultime Serum ~ Review 

I have normal hair and I try to use heat styling equipment as less as I can,, but whenever I do so I never fail to use this Loreal Serum before.

Its a shine perfecting serum : control, suppleness and shine for unruly hair in one step.
Contains nourishing ingredients that leave hair shine, smooth and ultra light.

Directions to use : apply 1-2 pumps to shampoo and towel dried hair and style as usual. Do not rinse .

Ingredients : CYCLOPENTASILOXAINE, ALCOHOL DENAT. , DIMETHICONOL, C12-15 ALKYLBENZOATE, BENZYL SALICYLATE, BUTYLPHENLY METHYL PROPIONAL, HEXYL CINAAMAL, LINALOOL, ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE, GERANIOL, HYDROXYISOHEXYL 3-CYCLOHEXENE CARBOXALDEHYDE, CYTRONELLOL, LIMONENE, PARFUM/FRAGRANCE 

Quantity ~ 125 ml

Price ~ 580 INR

Shelf Life ~ 29 months

My take on it ~ I love this serum, its the only one I have and I don't think I will have to change it or buy a new one till it expires, because I don't use it much and also because two pumps is enough for my hair length, so this one actually goes on long...
It does give extra shine and smoothness to the hair. I take it on my palm, spread it nicely all over it and then I use my fingers as a comb to spread the serum evenly on my hair, also I don't use it over my scalp as it is not advised and I concentrate more on the tips of the hair.
It gets absorbed super soon and leaves you hair very soft and light weight,,just like silk.
I have never faced any issues heat styling my hair anymore because of this serum as after using it not only the frizzyness vanishes but also the dryness you feel after you heat style your hair is absent.

The fragrance is mild but I don't like fragrance in my cosmetics.

There is no sticky feeling in your hair even after hours of using it.
For heat styling it is effective as the issue I had with the dryness due to heat styling is effectively curbed down with this product.

Recommendation : yes please, if you are into curling/straighteing your hair..If you only blow dry your hair then you can skip this. I never blow dry my hair as I find it too much of effort and also the damage it does to the hair in the long run.

This is how it looks on my hair,,see the shine,..combined effect of straightening and this serum.. :)

Morphy Richards Hair Straightner Stylit Digital ~ Pictures and Review

When I was a child I had soft curly hair but then I grew up and my hair got straight with slightly wavy ends.
I am a taurian and they are known to be moody, so at times all I want is tight curly hair and on a different day all I want is poker straight tresses ;) .
 It was only last year that I bought this Straightener from Morphy Richards.

I had bought a local brand hair straightener before this one and it was terrible,, It made my hair all frizzy and yuk. So, I thought why not look for something better and then I saw this and another one which was in pink color both from Morphy Richards. Now I fell for the pink one for obvious reasons but the only problem it had was that it had a dial for temperature control and you have to manually regulate it to have your desired temperature and this one, the black beauty had a Electronic temperature control in LCD display which in my opinion was more practical and safe too.

So , I bought the black one and I must say that it really does an awesome job.

Stuff about this Straightener :

1. Electronic temperature control with LCD display.
2. Five heat settings - Minimum 120 degree Celsius to Max temperature 210 degree Celsius.
3. On/Off switch
4. Ceramic coated heating plates
5. 360 degree swivel cord
6. Accessories ~ one comb, two hair clips and one accessory bag
7. Model number ~ Stylit Digital
8. Specifications ~ 40W, 230V-50Hz

I love its sleek design., the fact that I can manually control the heat settings through the LCD display and that the cord can swivel 360 degrees which gives me a great control handling it. Also the plates are ceramic coated thus there is less chance of your hair getting damaged.
It comes with a accessory bag which had  a comb with a long pin tail, 4 hair clamps and a operating manual.

How I use it :

I don't straighten up  my hair regularly, its just for any party I have to attend or a special something,, The fact that I have got a hold on how to curl my hair with this straightener is a  bonus.
So, Before starting this straightening stuff I use Loreal's Liss Ultime Serum which is for heat styling your hair, after that I straighten up my hair at 160 degree which is a moderate heat level that works well for me.
Straightening my hair takes about 5 minutes with this styler and I guess that's a good thing.

My hair definitely gets a more polished look after straightening with this styler and I am totally happy with the results I get from it,, completely worthy of the money I shelled out for this equipment.

I also have another Styler from Morphy Richards which have some 8-10 extensions and I will be talking about it in another blog post soon.

Before and After pics :

Before :
my hair looks damn wavy at the ends but its the lighting that is creating this effect,, it does not look like this in real. :) more straight actually :)
