I have a proud announcement to make today.
It’s been months now that I have given up my shampoo
addiction. Yes, I don’t wash my hair everyday anymore! It’s so liberating
because I never thought this would be possible. I had read on multiple websites
that washing your hair everyday actually makes it greasier but I never believed
them. I could not bear the thought of getting through a day with unwashed dirty
hair. But in the numbing winter of Delhi, the infamous Dilli ki sardi, it
suddenly started to seem like a very attractive option to spend lesser time in
contact with biting cold water. So I tried it and I am so glad I did. Because
it’s true! You can train your hair.
My hair has totally gotten used to being washed every other
day and it behaves. That being said, however, it does need a little boost to
not frizz out. So I have incorporated a Remington straightener and… you guessed
it, Argan oil in my hair care routine.
I got the Moroccan oil
version of it from the Looks Salon in Sector 18, Noida for around Rs. 2500/-.
Seemed steep for oil while I was getting it, but now I think it’s totally worth
it. I need only one pump at a time so it’s easily going to last me for about
six months.
I apply it along the length of my hair from about my ears to
the ends. I don’t apply it near the scalp because of my grease-o-phobia. But it
really helps smooth out my locks, makes them shiny and ready for styling. Even
the day after I use it, my hair looks fresh and non-greasy. The smell also
scores a point from my side.
All in all, it’s quite a good product. I’m not calling it a
miracle in a bottle that will tame even the craziest of hairs because I don’t
have the experience. But if your demands from your hair products are not much
except that it does its job for the day and doesn’t weigh it down, this is
pretty much as good as it gets.
