Review on Hair Protein cream by himalaya


I checked out himalaya's hair protein cream recently.
i should say.. i m more than happy i tried it.
It has got such a pleasant smell that i was lost in it.
But Wen i bought it,i wasnt sure.
because it doesnt have proper instructions for using.


It is basically a multi-purpose hair nourishing cream.. which can be used in many ways.
it can be applied on scalp as well as hair.. n if u wanna wash ur hair.. u can after 15 mins.. if u wanna keep it.. u can keep for days..

i found it very helpful in many ways.. n discovered different ways of using it..
here r sum of the:
1. apply in ur scalp everyday 2 strengthen ur hair..

2. apply generously in ur scalp, apply a bit on ur hair too.. keep for 20-30 mins.. n voila..!! u got so silky hair..

3. i did my HAIR SPA AT HOME with it.. as it was a bit thicker for spa cream.. i mixed sum baby lotion in it n then used it on ma hair.. i massaged it on m scalp.. applied on hair.. n did turban therapy.. after completing the whole process.. i cudnt believe that its ma hair..


4. it helped in ma sryling too.. weneva i wanted 2 use gels for that wet look.. i was always afraid that ma hair wud be dry because of these gels..
but if u r looking for a hairstyle that doesnt require mych hold.. only texture.. than add a bit of himalaya hair protein cream in ur gel.. n u got a nourishing mix for styling :)
