Battle of the Oil Replacement Creams.

Hello guys! Hope you all had a good week. Thank you so much for all the love on our last blog post. We will surely do similar posts in the future.

 

In today’s post, we have decided to step into the forte of haircare.

 As Indian girls, we have been told right since childhood by our mothers and grandmothers the importance of oiling our hair and how simply oiling one’s hair can be the solution to all hair problems from lack of hair growth, dandruff to split ends. Some of these are obscure myths. However there is no denying that oiling your hair has its benefits. This procedure of oiling one’s hair is a little too tedious for some of us.

Recently, there has been a craze for oil replacement creams in the market. I was really excited about this product because I am one of those lazy people who for some reason never ends up oiling their hair. Basically this a cream that contains the extract of oils or does the same job as an oil.

First Garnier Fructis launched their "Oil In Cream.” Within a year, their parent brand L’Oreal Paris launched their “Hair Expertise Oil Replacement Cream.” Recently Garnier has launched their “Ultra Blends 5 Precious Oil In Cream”. However we have not yet had the chance to try it out. Whenever we do, we will surely review it for you guys.
 

For now, we will be comparative review of Garnier Fructis Oil In Cream and L’Oreal Paris Hair Expertise Oil Replacement Cream.
