True Roots Botanical oil – Delay Early Greying

Life of a blogger also means being privy to new product launches and this one was about something really exciting . It is a Botanical Tonic that delays greying, amazing isn’t it. Let me tell you how….

Spotting that first strand of grey hair is really not a sight we all want to have. From experimenting with many styles to flaunt our healthy and ever-so-good hair, we find ourselves trying to hide those few greys. While we don’t mind carrying that uber-cool salt-and-pepper look sometimes, but that’s not the every-day look we want to have, right? That one single silver strand can be intimidating sometimes, as it opens up a new chapter telling us that our greying-phase is about to begin. And in all of this frenzy, we have so many unanswered questions- Will they go away with time? Or will they increase beyond my control? Is it in my genes? Or is my lack of work-life balance the cause?

Natural Reasons for greying

Greying of hair is natural with age, but when hair starts greying early we often wonder why? Thankfully science has the answer and now Marico’s True Roots offers a solution to delay hair greying from the roots. Greying of hair is caused due to decreasing levels of melanin in the hair roots. Melanin is a natural pigment, which gives hair its dark colour. Marico’s True Roots Botanical Hair Tonic, is a first-of-its kind innovation, that works by increasing the melanin levels in the hair roots and thereby delays hair greying. It is formulated with Apigenin, an extract of chamomile flowers and powerful botanical actives that increase the melanin levels in the hair roots.

Other reasons for early greying:

Some blame the grey on genetics but that’s not the only reason- not following a proper diet, irregular sleeping habits, work or personal stress, pollution, lifestyle habits, hair coloring at an early age, etc. But the main reason we start greying is because of melanin depletion in roots. Melanin is a pigment that each hair follicle has, and it gives hair its color. As we age, our scalp produces less pigment, resulting in whitening from the roots. In such cases we call it premature greying, which means you start greying when it really is not your age to grey.

Chamomile

On of the key ingredient of the formula is Chamomile flower which makes for a fantastic hair colorant especially for the Indian hair types. It contains a pigment called apigenin, which helps in producing melanin that in return gives hair its natural colour.

A Unique Curated Travel Experience North East : Curtain Call Adventures

Curated Travel experiences are the new age cool for the wander lusters. If you have been someone who always had wanted to go to the North East and explore Culture, heritage lifestyles and try some authentic Cuisines of the region, then go no further. For I have found just the right experience. Hop on for all the details.

I have lived in many different states while growing up because my Dad was into Projects, every 2 years or so was time to pack and go to a new place. Only area I haven’t lived in India is the North East so it’s been on my agenda to go explore the beauty, culture and everyday life there, without compromising on the authenticity of the experience and being Touristy yet not too touristy.

In came Julie Kagti. So Julie, she is an acclaimed weaver who grew up in a Tea Estate in Assam, and has travelled the world, lives in Bangalore now (I met her when she was living in Mumbai) and has roots in North East. She is extremely attached to preserving the culture, hand looms and the way of life in the North East and she wants the world to come see how beautiful it all is without disturbing the ecosystem of life there, she wants travel enthusiasts to experience life as is there. I find the idea so beautiful that it’s on my bucket list now. Trust me when you see the images taken by anyone who has experienced it , you would definitely want to be the one who takes those pictures because you were there…..

I want to share this unique holiday experience with everyone who has wanted to do this but didn’t know where to find it. Curtaincall Adventures is name by which her tours go. It is an unique experience and she says she named her curated tours Curtain Call Adventures because she relates it with how actors bow after the last act and curtain falls, this may just be our last chance to see north east’s culture as is before modernity takes over their way of life.

You would be spending a night in the longest river island in the world at Majuli, or spending a day chatting with weavers, eating with locals in their kitchens, discovering the fauna and flora while you trek through unexplored north eastern landscapes, enjoy the local theatre at the temple just to name a few. Since Julie has grown up there and speaks the language, the experiences hence are very real and unadulterated without any typical touristy flavour.
