Of Ayurveda And Beauty With Indus Valley...

If I say that Indus Valley is a synonym to100% indigenous organic beauty and cosmetic care in a true sense, it would not be a misnomer. A visit to their research and development center at Faridabad was an eye opener in many aspects.

So far, very few of us know about this interesting company having large production setups, exports to every corner of the world, and a research and development center. There is a large range of products. And most of the products that Indus Valley produce easily qualify the stringent norms and standards of the United States and European countries.

The reigns of the company are in the hands of two most qualified scientists in this field. Shyam Arya and Seema Arya are the founders of this fabulous company.

Both the founders were present to share their beautiful journey so far and future plans ahead. There is a systematic and scientific approach in all their plans be it pilot run of new products, the launch of the product range, strategy towards exports, and decision for new OEM customers.

Though there are various products of global repute but Indus Valley Gel Hair Colour has always been the USP of this organic brand. Whether the products belong to the Natural range of Organic range, one thing is for sure and it is that all their products are 100% risk-free.

The company started its journey in 2007. Within no time it was able to penetrate most of the European countries, the US, and other countries in Asia. It shows a huge trust and acknowledgment of a large number of their customers.

Indus Valley's products are presently available in more than fifty e-Commerce portals and eighteen countries globally. The credit for its global success goes to the power of Ayurveda. Indus Valley is a natural brand.

There are more than sixty products that form a complete and comprehensive beauty care solution. The Gel Hair Colour among all these products is the most exclusive product. There are many reasons behind it. Besides winning many global certifications such as Bio Natural, Halal, EcoCert etc., the product is the first choice of recommendation among doctors.

In fact, Indus Valley Gel Hair Colour is entirely free from harmful chemicals like Hydrogen Peroxide, PPD, Ammonia, Barium, and other heavy metals.

In addition to above, there are a number of other interesting facts that make Indus Valley Gel Hair Colour a class apart. It consists of herbal ingredients such as Amla, Aloe vera, Honey, Basil, Orange, Sunflower, Wheatgerm, etc. All these constituents make it extremely beneficial for hair care requirements.

The product gives absolute gray coverage without creating any gaps. It works almost as a permanent hair color. In fact, the color stays for about three months. Moreover, it is exclusively gel in texture and therefore is a simpler one for the application part of it. In addition, Indus Valley Gel Hair Colour produces a refreshing aroma of orange during application that stays for many hours afterward.

All in all, Indus Valley forms for quite a promising choice when it comes to hair-care at large. :)

Nioxin Works Its Magic!

~~~

I have had the pleasure of experiencing the products being offered by Nioxin, as a part of the #NioxinNowInIndia activity by BlogAdda.

Amy, Nikhil and Gaurav, on behalf of Nioxin and Ankita, from BlogAdda, made it worth the while, at the Wella Salon, Saket.

If you haven't already, you could read about and see how I was given a pleasant makeover by Nioxin, in May, here. 

Quoting myself from that post, 

" #NioxinNowInIndia will make a reappearance on the blog, some day in the week beginning 14 June when I give you a first-hand review of my Nioxin Kit, which I'm having a great experience trying out! 

Make sure to watch out for that post too... " 

And, here I am. :) 

The experts at Nioxin India are staunch believers of the fact that, the phenomenon of hair thinning stands to be attributed to the three factors of Derma, that is poor scalp, Density, that is fewer tresses, and Diameter, that is finer strands. 

Nioxin approaches the key work areas of its products by bridging together the factors which contribute to hair thinning and then formulating practical solutions which would nourish the scalp. 

Three essential therapies work in tandem to not regrow the lost hair strands but to prevent further loss of hair strands so that, in the long run, the hair enjoy good health. 

• Derma Renew, or the  dermabrasion, in-salon approach. 
• Density Protect, to condition and protect the scalp to help reduce hair loss due to breakage. 
• Density Repair, to attend to each individual hair strand. 

The Nioxin products have been developed not as over-the-counter but as bespoke kits, to suit each individual hair type. 

The application of Henna on the hair was considered as a chemical treatment. And so, I was provided with Kit Number 5, for Normal to Thin-Looking Hair, Medium to Coarse Texture and Chemically Treated Hair. 

The kit contains the following three products: 

• Nioxin Cleanser, to refresh the hair and scalp, as the first step. It cleanses the scalp thoroughly to rid it of any hindrances to obtaining thicker, fuller hair. Thanks to its botanical extracts of the likes of peppermint, the cleanser possesses a refreshing and cooling mint fragrance. 
• Nioxin Scalp Revitaliser, with a lightweight formula which has been formulated to regulate moisture balance. The conditioner provided me with a light, bouncy feel to my tresses. 
• Nioxin Scalp Treatment has been enriched with antioxidants and fruit extracts that refresh the derma layer. It is to be sprayed after a head wash has been done and the strands have been dried using a towel. 

Nioxin has lent the desirable, volume, fullness, bounciness and shine to my hair and I could not be happier!

However, according to the frequency of usage, being advised to you, it can be a breeze or a hassle. 

In my case, I had been advised alternate usage, so it was not so endearing, but if you're advised to use the kit daily, then it can be quite a daunting task. 

The perseverance would be all worth it in the end, though. :)

A Pleasant Makeover With #NioxinNowInIndia...

~~~

What?
The Magic Of Nioxin India, with #NioxinNowInIndia, thanks to BlogAdda.

When?
Saturday, May 30.

Where?
Wella Professional Salon, Saket.

"Most of us consider our hair to be our best feature. That is why a bad hair can ruin our day just as easily as well-behaved hair makes us feel on top of the world. We spend a lot of time and energy (even money) on our tresses and admit it, every fallen hair strand that you see breaks your heart just a little.

P&G Salon Professional have introduced the revolutionary Nioxin technology in India, formulated specially to combat thinning hair. Nioxin and BlogAdda invite you to experience this revolutionary formula with the #NioxinNowInIndia activity."

These two introductory paragraphs here were enough to convince me to register for the event to learn more about, and experience a new beauty product first-hand.

So, there I found myself clicking on 'Register' in the blink of an eye.

Little did I know that exactly a month later, I would be invited for a pleasant makeover by Nioxin India.

In the evening hours of the day on May 28, a call from Ankita set the ball rolling! :)

A swift discussion over the phone and a reassuring confirmation later, I found myself at the entrance of Wella Salon in Saket, on the 30th.

Ankita was there, representing BlogAdda, and Amy, Wella.

It was a pleasant surprise to know that I was the first one to reach the venue. A brief look-through at the arrangements at the venue brought a smile on my face. Life-sized letters spelling out 'NIOXIN' seemed unique.

The cleanser and revitalizer bottles are covering up the second 'I' though! 

Once I took my seat, I noticed this. 

Some faces were known, some names heard of. Otherwise, it's always good to get to know new bloggers! :)

Though the event was slated to begin by 12 noon, Indian Stretchable Time made it begin at quarter to 1. Nevertheless, I utilized that time to tweet the snaps I'd captured, of the salon, and the setup intended for Nioxin's product range. Do browse through my Twitter handle for that purpose.

We were greeted by a सुस्वागतम and an introduction to Nioxin in हिन्दी by Amy and our stylist for the afternoon, Nikhil from Affinity, then took over to guide us through Nioxin's Skin Care Treatment for Hair, as they believed that our hair are an extension to our scalp.

Nikhil introduced us to what Nioxin believes to be the Three Signs of Hair Thinning - Derma, Density, and Diameter.

Since Nioxin is a bespoke product and not the one that you could casually demand over-the-counter, there were certain demarcations for the kit which would best suit your hair, revealed to us through the personalized consultation with experts.

It is a three-part system, which cleanses, revitalizes and treats the scalp.

As it turns out, they considered the application of Henna on the hair as a chemical treatment. And so, I was provided with Kit Number 5, for Normal to Thin-Looking Hair, Medium to Coarse Texture and Chemically Treated Hair.

Have a look at their scale and go figure the kit which would best suit you.

And, these are the technologies being professed in each of the kits. 

~~~ 

After the informative presentation, Nikhil threw the house open to questions. 

Amy pointed out that better than the talk and hear, would be the see and feel. 

They readied the salon stations for each of us to have a consultation with the experts and according to our respective Kit Numbers, try out the Nioxin Remedy. 

Meanwhile, we were served refreshments and took to chit-chatting with Ankita and the other bloggers! :) 

Must I tell you beforehand, that there is a Dermabrasion experience, which is exclusively in-salon. 

I had my consultation with Gaurav. 

See... 

That's my one-use Dermabrasion applicator, inside the box. On the side, you can see the device which was used to show me the surface of my scalp. 

The dermabrasion cream had to be applied on the scalp itself, massaged for 2-3 minutes and left for ten minutes, tracked through a timer. 

That is the applicator in Gaurav's hand. 

After that, I was led to the head wash station, where the cleanser and revitalizer were applied and rinsed. 

The scalp treatment was sprayed afterward and my hair were blow dried. 

~~~ 

And, ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you... 

Before: 

After: 

Do I look different? :) 

With that and two farewell snaps, we wrapped up my #NioxinNowInIndia experience. 

See... 

That is my candid snap with Ankita! :D 

And, that is a bunch of hair-happy bloggers, raising a toast to Nioxin India, with Amy standing next to me, pretending to take a sip of the Nioxin cocktail! :) 

Some of us had left after their session due to some prior commitments and thus this photograph does not capture all the bloggers who had been invited. 

I thoroughly enjoyed myself and loved my makeover! :D 

But, with #NioxinNowInIndia, curtains have not been drawn yet. 

#NioxinNowInIndia will make a reappearance on the blog, some day in the week beginning 14 June when I give you a first-hand review of my Nioxin Kit, which I'm having a great experience trying out! 

Make sure to watch out for that post too... :)
