Straight hair make over

I have brown hair which is quite old now .There are shades of red as well, due to henna application.I go for regular hair cuts.I oil & shampoo my hair.Recently ,I felt, that I must try to get straight hair  so that I get some makeover.My hair is short  & curls at the neck to give me a bob look.

I tried by keeping books & pillows on my tresses ( not head )  as I slept.I would just spread my hair away from my head as I lay on bed & keep the pillow or rather two to three pillows on the hair.Then I would sleep away, imagining that by the next morning,I would wake up to straight hair.But alas,that just remained a dream !

I went to a parlor & asked them for straightening my hair.They were glad to do it, for an ostentatious amount which made my purse lighter by a few hundreds.A cream was used & I had to sit with that cream over my hair for some hours whiling away my precious time.After that, my hair was cleaned of that cream & viola ,my hair was straight ! Sadly ,this was only for that day.Slowly & surely ,the next day ,my hair just like the dog's tail had started curling the way it was before ! Such a colossal   way to spend money.I felt defrauded by the cream as also by the beauty salon ! I marched to the salon, to be told that all depends on the way the hair cooperates & stays that way.So ,it was all my fault- sorry, my hair had non -cooperated & that's why ,my hair had bounced back to its natural state ! I was informed curtly that my hair ( well almost, except for that day when it was straight ) was just like the dog's tail which can never become straight.

I tried tying strands of my hair tightly with threads to straighten them up in groups.I would do this in the night & wake up hoping that as I untied those threads ,my hair would have transformed into straight sleek hair ! This did not happen .I was at my wit's end.I wanted straight hair as it looks stylish ,eat & gives me a sleek look.I may have to do away with combing altogether.Just run my fingers through my straight hair & I would be ready to face the world ! I needed straight hair as my tresses   needed combing every now & then.





I tried conditioning my hair after shampooing .I again repeated the numerous attempts with books & tightly wounding  with threads after conditioning.Yet ,I failed to get straight tresses..

Then , I heard that Sunsilk hair experts have got the magic potion for getting hair straight ! I  was amazed by the results.And believe me ,it works ! Now,my head is at rest & my hair is straight ! My hair looks neat & stylish -as if I visit the parlour daily.Wow ! It is that parlour hair look -blow dried ,sleek  & stylish ! Sunsilk has kept the cost  reasonable too, which means the world to me.Thank you ,Sunsilk !

The Secret .

Nandita was worried.She had to visit Chennai in the May heat.Last time around ,the May heat & humidity in Chennai had tanned her skin & acne had broken all over her face.There were blackheads to contend with too.It had taken months for her skin to get back to normal.Nandita knew that she will have to go to Chennai no matter what happened.After all ,this was a family wedding.She sighed.

She started preparations .She sorted out her clothes & the kids wardrobe as well.Her hubby also started his own packing.She gathered other things like the camera,the mobile charger,essential medicines etal. Her hubby had  booked the tickets earlier.


Nandita wanted to look her best at the wedding.Her husband jokingly remarked,"The bride is somebody else."She wanted  her facial done.She loved facials.Her face & back got a much needed massage & her face felt refreshed.She had got her hair colored with mehndi.It had given her hair a brownish red tinge which she loved.Nandita went to her favourite beauty parlour to get her facial done.There she met Kyra ,the new beautician.She looked stunning with a radiant skin which glowed .Kyra used to travel to work from quite far.She looked fresh.Nandita asked her,'How do you manage to look so fresh after travelling to work ?" Kyra smiled ,"I will tell you a secret-I use Lakme Sun Expert Fairness lotion with SPF 50+++.It makes me stay fresh all day long even  outside, under the harsh Sun."Nandita was not the one, to be easily convinced.She told that her skin was very oily & the sunscreen lotions had never worked for her.In fact ,these lotions had made it worse.Her skin would appear to be so greasy that she had sworn off all lotions,creams etal.Kyra assured her that Lakme Sun Expert UV Fairness lotion was non greasy - in fact, it contained extracts of cool cucumbers & lemongrass to pamper skin.Nandita brought the lotion & tried it the very next day, just to see if it was all that, it promised .


Nandita was amazed that it was absorbed so fast by her skin.She needed a miniscule amount to spread on her face & neck.She stepped out to make her last minute purchases.When she returned,she rushed to the mirror to see if she looked the same as she had when she left home.Nandita was surprised.Her face did not look greasy at all.She felt fresh even after being under the sun for two to three hours.

Nandita packed her Lakme Sun Expert UV Fairness lotion for her Chennai trip.She applied it relegiously daily after bath throughout her outing.At the wedding ,all were looking at her.They complimented on her skin which glowed.Some teased her & asked if there was some good news.Finally ,she blurted out the Secret.The Secret of applying Lakme Sun Expert UV Fairness lotion.They found it hard to believe, that it was so simple & the results were so fantabulous !


After the wedding ,she  accompanied her family to many outings in & around Chennai .They travelled to Ooty,Cominbatore ,etal.She was always armed with Lakme Sun Expert fairness UV lotion .She enjoyed all her outings like never before ! Even though the temperature at Ooty & Coimbatore ,Chennai were miles apart,her skin never showed it. Finally ,it was time to return.When she was back ,she realised that she looked more radiant, than when she had left home ! There was no acne & no tanning.Her skin texture had smoothened & it was evenly toned ! It was simply fabulous ! She smiled - she had found a companion for life - the  Lakme Sun expert Fairness UV lotion.In fact ,Nandita had decided to consult Kyra on other beauty products from Lakme.Since her skin was being  so wonderfully protected by Lakme Sun Expert Fairness UV lotion , she was sure lipsticks, foundation, kajal,nail polishes by Lakme would also suit her !
