Himalaya Protein Shampoo Extra Moisturizing for Normal to Dry Hair Review

I bought this shampoo on my last trip to India as I was in a herbal phase and wanted to try something natural. I found this in a medical shop and decided to give it a try. I've never had any good experiences with Himalaya products before but this was only 55 Rs ($1) so I thought, what have I got to lose? I need a shampoo anyways so why not try this out?


The claims, and ingredients are clearly shown on the back of the bottle.



The shampoo is a shiny liquid runny in consistency. It's a peachy color and smells good but nothing too strong.

The packaging is average. The shampoo doesn't do much. Actually, I don't even feel clean after using it. It makes my hair very dry, and frizzy, and I experienced a slight amount of hair fall too. It's definitely not a moisturizing shampoo. And whenever I apply oil, the shampoo almost doesn't work at all. It barely cleans anything. For reference, I have a sensitive/oily scalp and dry ends. The shampoo does leave the hair smelling good for long but if I wanted to perfume my hair I'll use a hair spray, not a shampoo. I kept using it thinking that I might find results after using it for a few weeks but nothing changed. I completed the bottle a few days back but I'm never going to repurchase it. Like all other Himalaya products I used previously, this sucked too. I should have gone with my initial instinct.

If you're looking for something herbal and mild, that doesn't break the bank, you may try this. It's not the worst shampoo I've ever used but it just didn't do what it claimed as far as I'm concerned. Not for me. 

Overall Rating: D

15 Must Watch Chinese Youth Dramas That are Artistic Masterpieces

I stopped watching youth dramas (dramas usually set in high school/college backdrop) over a year ago since I felt like I was getting too old for these. I find most of them quite juvenile like I am watching the Disney channel. However, before I completely stopped, I tried watching more than 30 popular youth dramas and I had to drop most of them because they were just too mediocre, with bad writing, and bad acting/editing. But I also found some gems that were just too good and should not be missed by anyone, doesn't matter how old you are. These dramas have something more than just being a funny/silly high school/college drama. They have some kind of an x-factor to them that makes them quite unique in my opinion. Be it the story, the casting, the cinematography, the costumes, the locations/settings, etc. all together create a magical on-screen experience that I have not found in the other youth dramas that I have seen. Listed below are my top picks from the Chinese youth drama genre ...

10 Popular Perfumes/Mists With The Same Scent DNA As Baccarat Rouge 540

 Baccarat Rouge 540 was launched in 2016 by the famous perfumer Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Since then it has reached a whole new level of popularity when it comes to perfumes, especially on social media. But since it is a very expensive perfume there are a lot of people like me, who cannot justify spending so much on a perfume, and who are looking for something similar that costs less. On the other hand brands that grasp the popularity also come up with perfumes that are inspired by the OG. People refer to these as dupes or smell-a-likes. It's basically a win win situation for everyone. I am personally not crazy about the scent profile that BR540 belongs to but since it is so hyped I wanted to try it out for myself. So I went to the store several times and tested it on the paper strips, on my clothes, and on my skin. And after several tries I decided that it is not really for me. It's a little too spicy and woody for my tastes. And since it is so expensive it's also not some...

Top 12 Things to Buy from Kruidvat own Brand

 We've been seeing inflation here in the Netherlands since October last year. It's just plain ridiculous to see something that I paid 5 euros for a few months back is now around 7 euros or maybe more. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you buy about 50 things (food, groceries, toiletries, etc.) for your house, it all adds up and overall you are paying 50 to 100 euros more than what you were paying previously. But unfortunately, not a lot of us have seen this increase in our pay and many people have even lost jobs during and after the covid crisis. So it's only natural for us to want to save our money wherever we can. But that said we also do not want to compromise on quality. And that is where the idea for this post comes from. Kruidvat is a drugstore that is similar to CVS/Walgreens in the US. Products sold here are mostly hygiene products, cleaning supplies, makeup, and over-the-counter medicines. I have been shopping here for hygiene products for years. By now I ...
