VLCC Soya Protein Conditioning Shampoo Review

by Mansi

I’ve always loved VLCC products and thus my expectations were high when I purchased VLCC Protein conditioning shampoo. I have frizzy and dry hair with oily scalp. Read more to know if it worked for me or not.

Claims of the Shampoo:

A mild formulation of Soya Protein and Almond gently cleanses your hair and provides nutrition of protein and vitamins. Soya Oil gets absorbed into the hair cuticles provides conditioning and anti-breakage benefits to the hair. Almond Oil enriched with vitamin E, gives deep nourishment to hair leaving them stronger and healthier from within.

Price:

Rs. 170 but I got for 165. 😀

Directions to Use:

Gently massage appropriate quantity of this shampoo into wet hair and scalp. Leave for 2 – 3 minutes and rinse thoroughly, repeat if necessary.

My Take on VLCC Soya Protein Conditioning Shampoo:

There are many variants in this range but I picked this one because ‘soya protein and almond oil’ attracted me. The packing of the product is in a flip cap plastic bottle similar to usual packagings. Nothing new about the packaging but it’s convenient and travel friendly.

The shampoo is white in color and the consistency is neither too thick nor runny making the usage easy. The shampoo lathers well and only little amount is required so the bottle will last long which is good at such a low price. When I first used this shampoo I was not impressed with the results as I didn’t saw any nourishment or conditioning effect (as the product claims to do so). But I thought of giving this shampoo another chance because some products take time to show results.

So, I used it again after 3 days and this time the results were BETTER, yes you read it right. I could feel the smoothness in my hair and I was happy with the results. When I used it next, I skipped my conditioner to see conditioning effects. And again the results were just amazing. Without conditioner also my hair was soft, nourished and were looking conditioned. I am using this shampoo from past 1 month and loving it more after each wash. And yes I’m loving my dry and frizzy hairs too.

I also didn’t experienced any breakage while using it and I think it does what it claims to do. I think VLCC is tryng hard and I’m loving their products more now. This is my HG product now and I’m going to purchase it again and again until I find something better.

PROS of VLCC Soya Protein Conditioning Shampoo:

Affordable
Travel friendly
Claims are true

No hair fall experienced

CONS of VLCC Soya Protein Conditioning Shampoo:

MABH Rating: 4/5

Will I Repurchase?:

Yes. Till I find something better which can handle my hair type. 😉

Top 4 Beginner Makeup Mistakes

5 Replies

Hey Everyone!

When I started using makeup I used to face so many problems 🙁 and I know most of you must have faced the same. If you’re also new to makeup and still experimenting with colors and different kinds of brands available in the market, it’s essential to know how you can use these products to boost your best features.

Trust me makeup can do WONDERS you just need to know the right technique. There are numerous make up mistakes beginners make, I just listed some here. Have a look, hope it helps.

Using Concealers like Foundation:

We may think we have many problem areas that require concealing and thus we apply concealer all over our face, but it’s an amateur beauty mistake that we must avoid! As applying too much concealer or using it in lots of places leads to a weird, whitish complexion that looks caked-on. Better use it sparingly and carefully as there are various diverse tools for all your beauty issues so don’t rely only on concealer!

Scary Smoky Eyes:

The smoky eye look is sexy and super modish and teenagers are really fond of trying such eye makeup. I have seen them with smoky eyes; some looked really really stunning while some looked SCARY. It’s not their mistake as even the most experienced beauty lover can be guilty of making this makeup blunder if they aren’t cautious! Girls think it’s easy to create smoky eyes but when it comes to replicating the look you get to know that it’s not an easy job. You need experience with eye shadows and choose the colors wisely. Don’t go dark until you don’t know the technique well.

Too Much Lip Product:

When you’re new with makeup you always think that applying the product in huge amount will help in the staying power. But that’s wrong, applying too much lip gloss or lipstick will not only end up being untidy but will as well get transferred on your teeth and yea on your food too. Experts say that getting a little obsessive with applying lip products are very common beauty mistakes beginners make. Better search for products that are long lasting. 😀

Applying Too Much Powder:

I have dusky complexion and I always wanted to look fair and thus I used to apply lots of powder. 🙁 (Funny I know) It was because that time I didnt knew much about makeup and I think most of teenagers make this mistake often. Also girls with oily skin apply excess face powder on their face to manage the level of oil. But you needn’t dab excessive powder to avoid your skin from getting oily as there are others products for this purpose like blotting papers, primers and oil-control make-up.

Summers are back and it’s time to show off some skin. 😀 I love wearing shorts and skirts but if can be a bit frightening after months of ignoring our precious legs. So, to achieve great summer legs pay a little attention towards them. Following are few tips that would help you definitely!

Hair Removal: Waxing is the most essential and effective way of getting rid of those unwanted hairs. Many women prefer shaving their legs which is also a nice alternative.

Exfoliation: Get rid of the dead skin and make them smoother by exfoliation. Use Gram flour with natural oil and get smooth and shiny legs, trust me it works like a miracle for me. You can also rub lemon and sugar on your knees for even skin tone.

Moisturize: Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize, this is the key to beautiful legs. Pick up a super rich moisturizer with SPF and apply right after shower from top to bottom to achieve SEXY legs. 😉

Pedicure: Do your pedicure at home by taking warm water adding salt and shampoo in it and then soak your legs for 20 minutes. Also apply lemon and sugar and scrub your legs. After washing your legs immediately moisturize them and wear socks. Now you are ready to wear open toes sandals and wedges.

Exercise: To keep your legs toned like Bipasha Basu it’s important to exercise. But if you’re busy or lazy you can opt for walking since it is the best exercise for legs and you can do it almost anytime and anywhere. So, next time you go out take stairs instead of lift.

Avoid Allergies: Scars, bruises or mosquito bites can ruin all your hard work, so it’s better to stay away from them by protecting skin all the time. Check the ingredients list and use the product ONLY if you are not allergic to any of them. Use Lacto calamine to get rid of scars and then show off your sexy legs..

Few Homemade Leg Scrub Recipes:

1. Mix equal amount of baking soda and rose water. Add few drops of pepper mint oil to this mixture. Your 2 minute leg exfoliating scrub recipe is ready to use!

2. Love oats in your skincare? Get them into your leg care too! Combine oats with pureed papaya. Scrub your legs with this recipe to get super smooth legs. It also contains tan removal properties.

3. The mixture of brown sugar and olive oil makes an excellent knee and leg scrub for people with that dry skin all-the-time no matter what the season is.

So, keep your legs “Picture perfect” all summer long by following these tips. Great legs are just a matter of protection and soon it’ll be a part of your daily routine.
