Summers are finally here in full swing, and I’m sulking. Now comes the time for heat stroke, sweat, blazing sunshine, and sun-tans. I so not like the Indian summers 🙁 No matter what you do, you can’t keep cool enough. No matter what you do, you come back home with a bad tan, sweating profusely and with a terrible temper. I wish October comes soon…

As much as I hate the extremely hot summer, I hate drying my hair naturally after shampooing it. You ask why? Well, number 1: it takes ages to dry hair without a blow-dryer. Number 2: I’m ALWAYS left with hair so wavy and unmanageable, that I feel like washing it again and then getting hold of my beloved hair-dryer to get a better looking mane.

But now, after using this purple bottle of shampoo by Sunsilk, I’m quite ready to bid a good-bye to my blow-dryer. Read on to know why!

Ingredients:

Packaging: This shampoo comes in a pretty purple bottle with a flip-cap. The bottle is quite regular looking, but practical. I haven’t travelled with this bottle yet so can’t comment on the travel-friendliness, but it seems quite sturdy to me.

Claims:

How to use: You use it like a regular shampoo on wet hair. I have tried this shampoo on extremely oily hair, and it manages to remove every bit of oil and grease after lathering and rinsing twice.

Appearance and Fragrance: The shampoo is white in color with large glittery silver particles in it, which I quite like! The fragrance is sweet and like that of regular shampoos. It is pleasant but not extraordinary.

My Experience: This is after a long time that I’m using Sunsilk. When I was a kid, Sunsilk was a staple in our house. But with time, I found better shampoos and moved on to other brands. My Mom insisted that I try this shampoo as she had seen the advertisement and wanted me to try something for my extremely unmanageable hair, so we got this to try.

Frankly, I had low expectations.

But boy, oh boy! This is serious stuff we are talking about here.

When I used it the first time, I could feel my hair quite smooth and soft even in the shower. That day, I totally skipped using any conditioner to see the effect of this shampoo. And also, that very day, I skipped the blow-dryer, and let my hair dry naturally. It was after quite a while that I was skipping the dryer. Post my usual towel-dry, I left my hair to air-dry. What I was left with after a couple of hours was smoother hair, which was a little shinier than usual and hold your breath, straighter than usual!

I was very happy!!

I used this shampoo again after 2-3 days in a similar manner, and didn’t blow dry, and again, I felt the results repeating. I was truly impressed. Only on one occasion, I felt that my hair was feeling a little dry after using it, but since then, I try to oil my hair before shampooing (I forget or skip oiling due to being a complete lazy-bum..but still I try!)

I have been using this shampoo regularly for almost 3 weeks now, sometimes after heavily oiling the ends of my hair before shampooing, and sometimes I follow it up with The Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Hair Butter (read full review here). I have not felt the need to blow dry my hair after using this great product by Sunsilk. And every time, it leaves my hair very soft, smooth and straighter. Of course, it won’t leave you feeling that you have got rebonding/hair smoothening done, but for a girl like me with extremely wavy hair, it leaves my hair comparatively quite straight and healthier looking.

FFS Rating: 4.5/5

Price and Quantity: Rs 58 for 80 ml, Rs 115 for 180 ml, Rs 197 for 340 ml

Where to Buy: You can buy it online from any of the portals or from any hyper-marts. You can buy it online from Nykaa here.

Pros and Cons:

PROs:

  1. Leaves hair smooth, very soft with a healthy shine, and most importantly, straighter than usual
  2. Helps me skip the blow dryer as it leaves hair good enough even when dried naturally
  3. Effectively removes dirt and oil from the scalp
  4. Apparently free of parabens
  5. Washes off easily
  6. Very affordable
  7. Easily available

CONs:

  1. On one occasion, it left my hair a little dry
  2. For the geeks, it does contain SLS and silicones
  3. I don’t think it would do anything for girls with curly hair, but that is pretty obvious…

Repurchase: Certainly! I’m also going to try the conditioner from the same line. Well, since I’m loving Sunsilk so much, I intend to try all their shampoos now!

Final Word: I recommend this shampoo to all the girls with wavy hair, as you can feel this shampoo improving the appearance of your hair and you are really left with hair that is straighter. Don’t expect poker-straight hair, but hair that looks shinier and straighter than your natural hair. For a hair-dryer addict like me, this stuff has actually helped me reduce heat exposure to my hair. Do try!
