A good hair oil can change overall hair health with consistent use.Oiling has been proven to be beneficial and has been passed down since ages. More recently oils enriched with onions and curry leaves prove to be more effective in combating hair problems. 

The Seer Secrets Restorative Scalp Oil is formulated with the goodness of onions, curry leaves and yoghurt. Here's a detailed review of the oil:

Packaging:

The oil comes in cylindrical outer packaging with tin lids which I find very functional. The actual packaging is a see through plastic bottle with a golden lid on top of it. It comes in a perfectly sealed way and there's no chance of leakage. The hair oil even comes with an applicator for an easy and non messy application.

Fragrance,Consistency and Colour:

The onion oil has a natural fragrance to it which is not overwhelming or strong at all. Has a normal consistency which does not feel too sticky on the hair. The oil washes off pretty easily after using a shampoo.

Price:

200ml retails for 599 INR. 

It's available for purchase on Amazon, Nykaa and Seer Secrets official website.

Features as claimed by the brand:

• Healthy Scalp & Hair Promoting Hair Growth
• Minimizes Breakage & Thinning
• Reduces Dandruff & Hairfall
• Makes Hair Stronger From Roots to Tips

My experience using the Seer Secrets Onion hair oil:

I have been suffering from extreme hairfall since the past few weeks but this oil worked like a savior. Of course you just can't expect instant results in just one use. I could notice some significant  changes after a month of religious use. 

The Seer Secrets Restorative Scalp oil is enriched with many essential oils and natural ingredients which makes it so special and worth the amount. They don't use any chemicals or toxic ingredients that can backfire and cause more hairfall and damage so it makes this oil a very safe choice if you are suffering from hairfall and frizzy hair problems like me. 

Now talking about whether this oil reduces dandruff or not. I couldn't see much difference in that respect. My dandruff issues are still evidently present.

Benefits:

• Reduces hairfall with consistent use
• Combats frizzy hair
• Cruelty free
• No sulphates and parabens are present in the formulation 
• Authentic Ayurvedic formulation
• No mineral oil 
• Promotes shiny hair

Disadvantages:

• A bit pricey
• Not effective against dandruff

Rating: 4/5☆

Would I repurchase and suggest you to buy it?

Of course I would repurchase. I was super impressed by the ingredient list that's present. 

I would highly recommend you to go ahead and purchase this if you are someone who is suffering from severe hairfall!

Claims made by the brand:

• L’Oréal Paris Dream Lengths Restoring Shampoo  is formulated with vegetal keratin, castor oil and vitamins B3 and B5 for longer hair!
• Dream Lengths Shampoo restructures hair lengths and helps seal split ends.
• This creamy and restoring shampoo visibly repairs damage without weigh down, adds shine, protects lengths and strengthens hair

My experience using the L'Oreal Dream Lengths shampoo:

The shampoo cleaned my hair gently and mildly.  I have a oily scalp type and dry ends which makes it difficult for me to choose both a moisturizing and anti dandruff shampoo.

The good thing about this shampoo is that It didn't dry my scalp out or even my ends. I ended up having smooth and softly washed hair after my wash. (When paired with a conditioner)

With consistent use the ends get better day by day but just don't expect a havoc change or difference on your mane. The change in hair texture is minimal!

Although it didn't work much effectively on my dandruff issues, I have definitely taken a liking to this shampoo variant from L'Oreal!

• Affordable, cost effective
• Easily available 
• Cleans gently 
• Has an amazing fragrance
• Show results after consistent use
• Loaded with  vegetable keratin and castor oil

Downsides:

• Doesn't help much in removing or preventing dandruff 
• Takes long time to repair hair damages
