The Body Shop coconut oil hair shine

-
This was one of those impulse buy product.

I am always on the look out for cures to tame my frizzy hair. Sigh..It has a mind of it's own. Even after a generous application of conditioner post shampooing, it still frizzes out. grrrr.

Ok...ahem...back to my post.
TBS does have a Rainforest range of coconut oil but it isn't like 100% coconut oil.

I spotted this while browsing the TBS. It caught my immediate attention because of two things printed on the tub:
a) coconut oil 
b) ALL HAIR TYPES

Coconut oil is the best; whether it is for hair, body or for cooking.

Well, it is not entirely 100% coconut oil but has beeswax and other stuff added to it. 

Price: 2.5KD





The packaging is a small round tin tub - similar to a shoe polish tub.Its compact and travel friendly. The product has to be used up within 12 months of opening. It claims to smooth, add shine, condition and repair hair. The product is to be used on dry hair.


The product is pale yellow in  color with a faint pleasant smell. It is not a coconutty smell but a sweet fragrance which I couldn't  put my nose on. It is very thick like a balm and it easily melts when you rub it in between the palms of your hands. The product is filled up to the brim of the tub and is solid. Since in Kuwait, it sits in air conditioned atmosphere always, it is remaining solid. I am wondering how the product will fair in the humid climate in India. 



You have to swirl your fingers in the tub to get enough product on your fingers, warm it up and it melts and then apply to your hair. Your hair also will smell nice the entire day.

I have been using this for a month and I have to say that it does control the flyaways and frizz and imparts a shine to the hair and makes it more manageable. But you need to know the right amount of product to use. Otherwise it will weigh down your hair and you might end up as a oily mess.

I read that this can also be used post hair wash; just apply a generous amount (to be read as - get all greasy and slicky) on the hair an hour before shampooing.

A good product for the price.

Quiznos...

Ever since the American franchise, Quiznos, opened up in my work place, I wanted to try it out. They have subs, soups and salads. Quiznos doesn't have many branches in Kuwait. But one can order online through talabat . They do have a Facebook (Quiznos Kuwait), twitter  (quiznos_kw) and Instagram (quiznos_kw) accounts and a  website . Their hotline number is    188001. Their small subs are like 5 or 6 inches long and is more than enough to satiate you.  You can choose brown or white or jalapeno or rosemary Parmesan bread. I am in love with the rosemary Parmesan bread ever since I tried it.  That is how it is packaged. I bought the egg and cheddar breakfast sub on a rosemary-parmesan bread.I do not like jalapenos and pickles in my sub, so I always avoid it. And thank god they do not give you much options like Subway :). My friend ordered the steak, egg and cheddar sub. The bread is quite flavorful and light. You do not feel heavy after eating t

Tawas - an all natural deodorant

Ever since I read about deodorants and their side effects, I have been on the search for an all-natural deodorant. Coconut oil can be used since it has antibacterial properties. Just apply a small amount after bath and when you wake up you will not have smelly underarms. But once you start sweating, you end up smelling but not as bad. But then it fails totally when you do some heavy duty work like exercise. Another option is mixing equal amounts of baking soda, corn flour and coconut oil. This concoction does work but it takes time for the body to get adjusted for it to work for you. And then too, it isn't effective during exercise. And again my search was on. It was during a casual talk with a friend that she mentioned about Tawas and how she was using it as a deodorant. I couldn't wait to try it out and bought it the same day :) This is how the packaging is.  A small see through container filled up to the brim. There are scented and non-scented var

The semolina bread saga

I love to bake. It is therapeutic for me :) There is something about the measuring,sifting,kneading,pouring and seeing the fruits of my labour rising to glory in the oven. I have seen many bread recipes while roaming the cyber space but was a little scared to venture into trying a recipe; Until a friend of mine, who is an avid baker (oh my you just have to see her posts) posted photos of her home made bread on the social media. A little chat with her and she encouraged me and I went ahead and tried my hands at baking bread at home.  Oh my, bread making is a sticky process but at the end of it all, you feel proud of your creation. You can go wrong too if you are not careful. The bread can become dense if you knead it too much or add too much water. To sum it up, you need to try it out a few times before you can master it. Well, a semolina bread is what I would call a beginner bread baker recipe. You can never really go that wrong with this recipe. And a positive end resu
