4 Fabulous Hair with Himalaya

Hair care is so complicated now days and it is hard to know which products are best, especially when you have textured or chemically treated hair. The possibilities are endless and sometimes, overwhelming. It is impossible to cover the best hair care products in a short span. 

Recently, I had a hair care session with Himalaya in Chandigarh, where they launched their new 4-step range which is oiling, shampooing, conditioning and masking.

They had me over a pampering session where they oiled my hair following up with a relaxing head massage, and then shampoo + conditioning.

Oil:

I have dry hair, so I need to use a lightweight oil to keep my hair hydrated.  Somehow my laziness kicks in and I don't use much of oiling. With all of the options out there, you would think that finding something that is lightweight and convenient to use would be easy.  Well it took me a while to find my go to hair oil, Himalaya's oil comes with Bhringraja and Amalaki which nourishes your hair from roots to tips.  This oil is lightweight and I love that is comes in a accessible drop bottle, so it is easy to cover the areas that need it the most.  Also unlike many hair oils, it does not have an overwhelming or unpleasant scent. If you are looking for a lightweight and hydrating hair oil, you will be really happy with this product.  

Shampoo:

Shampoo is the essential step in your hair care regime as it cleanses your hair off dirt thoroughly. Himalaya's Anti-Hair Fall  is a fantastic shampoo for every hair type. It cleanses and at the same time does not strip moisture from the hair. Also, after washing with this shampoo, combing through my hair seems much easier than with other shampoos that I have tried. If you are looking for a great cleanser for your hair without stripping your natural oils, this is the product for you. 

Conditioner:

Choosing the correct conditioner for our hair type can mean the difference between great hair and not so great hair. Conditioners are meant to add shine, protect hair from drying out and they allow easier combing. I personally have fine, dry and a little damaged hair (because of the heat). Conditioner for fine and thin hair gives volume and thicker looking hair. People with this type of hair should not apply conditioner to scalp. Massaging light-weight conditioner from mid-shaft down the hair and using oil-absorbing conditioner gives you extremely good results. This category of people should avoid heavy conditioners which make hair limp and look oilier. Using a conditioner like Himalaya with ingredients such as Palasha and Bhringraja is highly recommended for coloured hair and is to be used primarily on the ends of the hair. Using this made my hair look healthier and shiny-fluffed up and its safe to use on colour treated hair so that's a plus point!!

Hair Cream:

Whether you’re a skincare junkie or a one product fits all kind of girl, chances are you’ve heard of K-Beauty and already have a sheet mask in your skincare routine. These masks make looking after your skin really easy and you can tackle so many problems in one go rather than with a handful of products. It makes sense that this would work for your locks too and Himalaya's hair treatment mask is just what you need in your hair care kit!! This mask work really well as it opens your cuticle, helping the formula to penetrate deeper into your strands and giving you better results. It has Bhringraja and Amla which are widely known for rich effects on hair.

I really enjoyed testing these amazing products on my hair and now its your turn to give them a whirl and speak for yourselves!! 

after all,

Healthy hair, Happy hair!!

Until next time, super soon!!

Brahma Horizon, Pushkar

Exploring the holy city Pushkar with you in this post. If you're coming from my Instagram, you must be aware that I recently visited the city this summer.  

Pushkar is a town in the Ajmer district in the state of Rajasthan. It is situated about 10 km northwest of Ajmer and about 150 kilometres southwest of Jaipur. It is a pilgrimage site for Hindus and Sikhs. Pushkar has many temples, 1000 approximately as told by the locals. Most of the temples and ghats in Pushkar are from the 18th century and later, because many temples were destroyed during Muslim conquests in the area. Subsequently, the destroyed temples were rebuilt. The most famous among Pushkar temples is the red spired Brahma Temple built during the 14th century CE. It is considered as a sacred city by the Hindus particularly and meat and eggs consumption is forbidden in the city. Pushkar is located on the shore of Pushkar Lake, which has many ghats where pilgrims bathe. One of the bathing ghats is called Gobind ghat built by the Marathas in the memory of Guru Gobind Singh.

Pushkar is famous for its annual fair (Pushkar Camel Fair) featuring a trading fete of cattle, horses and camels. It is held over seven days in October or November. It attracts nearly 200,000 people.According to the researches in 1998, Pushkar hosted about 1 million domestic (95%) and international tourists over the year.

During my stay, I visited one of the ghats at Pushkar lake, it was so peaceful and holistic. I had an experience with a localite who was apparently convincing visitors to buy 'Pooja thalis' and perform a ritual hosted by one of the many brahmans by the lake. They later on convince you to "donate" money in any of the temples and tell you that they accept debit and credit cards as well. If ever you visit Pushkar, I'd suggest you to definitely visit the lake but do not fall for these tricks, the key is to ignore them and continue with your exploration.

The lake is peaceful and takes away all the negativity stored in your body. I spent quite some time at the lakeside and then decided to head back to the hotel after exploring the local markets.

Brahma Horizon Resort is ten minutes away  from Pushkar Lake. Located among Aravali Hills, Hotel Brahma Horizon is the ultimate destination for anyone with its excellent location, stunning architecture and bespoke services. They made my stay so comfortable that it felt like I was at a home away from home. The staff was really helpful and knowledgeable about their services and the city itself. 

The food was served and the presentation was really nice, it was so refreshing after all the traveling and sleepless nights. I chilled at the pool-side for sometime and headed back to the room for a quick nap.

My experience at the resort took a next step when they presented a personalised card along with our lunch meal which is to be launched with the new menu on July 30th.

My Pushkar staycation was so wonderful and ofcourse some brownie points to the friendly staff who treated me so well. They also host marriages and such other functions and in case any of you guys want to approach them for that, they will definitely help you out! The property, people and the culture is all so heartwarming, could not have asked for a better time! The next day I had to leave for Jaipur and then Delhi and this was exactly what I needed before starting my journey.

Brahma Horizon definitely helped me to truly relax and unwind. I hope you had a great time reading this and looking at the pictures, just like I had at The Brahma Horizon, Pushkar.
