L’oreal Professionnel SmartBond in Hair Colour Experiential

L’oreal Professionnel is one the leading brands in  haircare and you know that you love your job even more when they invite you for an experiential for their brand new ingredient for all chemical treatments to minimise the damage and make hair stronger SmartBond.  I need to start with a disclaimer that what I will write here is no way influenced by brand inviting me to experience the service.

It was a party almost with lovely backdrop of vintage and the new Bombay the venue was the L’oreal Professionnel Academy and when I got there I met so many fellow bloggers some of whom are dear friends…. The colouring stations were assigned to each one of us and as is the essence of the very French Brand the table had my name, my picture in a beaker (in case I don’t read my name…hahahhaa) and chocolates…. a cute little badge that read #DareToTransform ….I just love it when things are personalised like this….just adds to the vibe and makes me feel good…..

 

I was introduced to Abhiroop who works with the L’oreal Professionnel academy and is a senior stylist. And so began the journey of hair transformation. I had highlighted  my hair pink a few months back, the pink had of course washed off, what remained was light coloured hair, Abhiroop, let’s call him Abhi here-on…. looked and touched the hair and came with a colour options book, 2-3 question answers here and there  and we both decided that ombre is a good choice….discussed and reached a decision to colour my hair in 3 shades of the 6 Number shade family of the L’oreal Professionnel Hair Colour.

Abhi suggested Amonia free colour for me..and so started the transformation of my hair. He very patiently first coloured the crown area in the darkest hue of the 3 shades. My scalp didn’t itch neither did the colour have any strong aroma….yup really!!! …..That was a major nice factor.. Apparently Abhi had added SmartBond to the colour which apparently when added to any chemical treatment on the hair reduces the damage and adds strength to hair and I guess was also part of the reason that my scalp wasn’t itchy at all during the colouring process.

Section number 2 the middle part and section 3 the lengths and the ends…. I get pretty impatient to see results and I couldn’t wait to see how this turns out to be….. I kept My self busy chatting … (My most favourite thing to do) with everyone around… My Instagram stories were full of all the action around me…..

I could see the first hints on my selfie camera (I told you I was Impatient…hahahhahaa ) ….and I absolutely loved the first glimpse…. By the time I got my chair and Abhi started Blowdrying I was already in love with the colour……

Blow dry added to how gorgeous my hair colour turned out to be….and my hair did shine more than usual, SmartBond was indeed working….

Tips to Mix & Match Everyday Look

Hello my lovelies…. today’s post is on my favourite favourite fashion thing to do…. no no….not shopping but making your wardrobe look like you have 3 times more clothes than you actually do…well if you do the math and understand permutation and combinations then it’s way way more than just thrice…..YUP!!!…you heard….ooopppsss! …you read right…

If math is not your thing and just fashion is still this should interest you. My previous post on styling my White shirt dress with velvet Pyjama Pants was one in the series…. that I so feel about….and today is an extension of the same…..If you always wear a combination in a certain way only…..always…. then its time for this style coach to give you more ideas.

I have these beautiful cotton silk printed pants which I wear in a different way almost always, the trick is simple and the magic mantra is mix and match….. Borrow an element that is an extension or is a compliment of one garment and take it forward from there….and most of the time I hear is ….new pants by the people who have seen me wear this before….besides great laundry skills (…..I have an obsession of taking care of my clothes nicely….calls for another post) it is about how I styled it differently…. Hoping that this photo documentation of how I mixed and matched gives you ideas to do something similar with your wardrobes……

So these Pants in one of my favourite…… favourite colours….Blue… with Indian Prints …I Know that you that I drool over Indian prints and textiles….just can’t get enough in my wardrobe……I decided to pair it with a cold shouldered top in beautiful wine-burgandyish colour….different colour families….both very strong colours yet…complimenting each other…..

I wasn’t done making statements just as yet……Paired them with these gorgeous Jhumkis in silver….timeless…Don’t even get me started on statement jewellery…….hahhahahhaaaa !!!

Since I had put together  bright coloured ensemble with statement jewllery already thrown in and it was day time makeup was very nude neutral…. I wore my trusted Jooti’s and hair tied in a low pony I was ready to showcase the Mix and Match story to you….

Here Goes…..
