My Experience With Himalaya Protein Hair Cream

As this is packed in a tub, the packaging makes the usage a little unhygienic as I don’t like dipping my fingers repeatedly into it. And on doing such a thing a little hair got into it which really made me puke literally!!! The fragrance is a little strong too but not unbearable.

Coming to the part how it was on my hair. Well it’s a nice heavy moisturising cream that really leaves a cooling feel on the scalp and nourishes both the scalp and hair.

This can be used on your hair and scalp so I massaged the cream well one hour before washing my hair. As I applied the cream it did make my hair shiny, soft and it helped detangle my hair. It’s more like a conditioner for my hair that I apply few hours before washing. I apply this cream 2-3 times in a week and have seen considerable changes in the quality of my hair.

After washing my hair I did get soft manageable and healthy looking hair. It didn’t stop my hair fall though. Have to look for something really strong to stop my hair fall.

If I apply this cream on washed hair, it turns my hair shiny but also makes my thin straight hair flat and all the volume disappears! On the other hand my husband who has short, dry and thick hair loved this cream completely. He used this as a type of gel and as he says it gives the “out of the shower” look!
