Puffy eyes and wide smiles courtesy late night cha Puffy eyes and wide smiles courtesy late night chat and laughter sessions with friends. This weekend left me tired and yet energised for all the work that Monday brings. Strange, isn't it? But that's what spending time with friends does ❤️. 

Tag that friend with whom you have never-ending late night conversations.

I really enjoy doing yoga but I've realised that f I really enjoy doing yoga but I've realised that for me to be consistent with it,  I need a good yoga instructor who can help me with my problem areas and challenges. I loved the yoga sessions at @nimbanaturecure (this pic was clicked there) with @dr_poonam_yoga and I truly enjoyed the sessions and the progress i had made in @maaofallblogs 's online classes. Looking forward to resuming those soon. 

Do you do yoga regularly?

*Save this post* #notsponsored - I get several que *Save this post* #notsponsored - I get several queries related hair care while colouring hair with Nilini / any other henna & indigo colour so here are the steps I follow & the products I use: 

* A day prior to colouring my hair, I shampoo with @thebodyshopindia Green Tree Hair Scrub. It thoroughly cleanses the scalp and hair and gets rid of all the product buildup - dry shampoo, styling products etc. It gets the hair squeaky clean. 

* The next day, on dry hair, I apply the @sheshaayurveda Nilini to my grey roots, leave it on for an hour (my greys are stubborn) and then rise it off with water. On damp hair, just on the lengths,  I apply the @milkshakehairindia Incredible Milk which is a leave-in treatment. 

* The following night, I oil my scalp and on the lengths of my hair, I put @olaplexindia No 3. Sometimes, I'll put the @plumgoodness Avocado hair mask instead. (Ensure you protect your pillow from stains by putting an old towel on it.) Have shown my favourite hair oils in a recent reel. 

* To shampoo my hair next morning, I use either the @daughterearthofficial or @lovebeautyandplanet_in shampoos. These two are my favourites and ones I have been using regularly since months. Once a month, I use the @lorealindia Absolute Repair Shampoo. 

* After the first post-colour shampoo, I prefer to use @thebodyshopindia Banana Hair Mask. For subsequent shampoos, I follow with the Daughter Earth conditioner but continue a weekly hair mask alternating between @moroccanoil_in and the Banana one. The day when I use the L'Oréal Shampoo, I use the Absolute Repair hair mask as well. 

* A good serum is a must for my dry, frizzy hair, especially since I heat style every time I wash my hair. My favourite ones are the Moroccanoil Light, the Plum Serum and the L'Oréal Repair Oil. 

Hope this helps. Comment below if you have any queries.
