Haul from India: Livon Silky Potion

Hello faithful blog readers! I want to talk about some specific products Monika discovered on her recent trip to India (she will be posting pictures shortly). In this section I'll talk about the hair products, and there will also be a discussion about the cosmetics in the makeup section.

The hair products she found are as follows:

1). Livon Silky Potion--A detangling hair fluid. This product is designed to work with a unique formula called CutiSoft, which "instantly softens and smoothens the hair cuticle, transforming your rough, dry and brittle hair into soft and silky hair". It also nourishes, defrizzes and detangles using Vitamin E.
  • The product is ideal to use on damp hair, but can also be used on dry hair to bring it back to life after styling.
  • On the days you skip washes, you can apply Livon to slightly re-wettened hair to bring back its health and shine.

Monika's personal use also found that the product does all of the above, PLUS it's lightweight and will not make hair oily or greasy. She was able to use it 2 days after she washed her hair and it completely brought the life back. She used it in Mumbai, a city notorious for humid weather, much like our own Houston :) However, there are 2 disclaimers to keep in mind:

1). Monika has very fine, silky hair which is also curly. She has used it on both curly and straight styles. However, people with thicker, fuller hair may have different results.

2). This product contains mineral oil, which some people feel dries out their hair. If this is you, beware

The only drawback that she found was that once the product was brought back to the states where the temperature is significantly cooler, it did not hydrate as well as she hoped. The lesson here? Use this product more in the warmer, more humid climate. Our final rating is a B+!

Side note: For people who have hair like mine (thick, frizzy and somewhere in between curly and straight), I will post a follow up once I try it for myself. In the meantime, hang tight and keep checking back.
