Monsoon Musings! ft. Strandbyme

There is something romantic about monsoons! There’s the wind in my hair, thunder in the skies and petrichor for my nose!

I have always been a rain lover. This is one season that brings to life everything from birds, to flowers. And there’s always some garma garam coffee, samosas, and onion pakodas to gulp down. It doesn’t stop there! This is one legit time to curl into the bed, read a great book and listen to all the love ballads that monsoon has inspired! Sigh.. I just love this feeling!

I can go and on on, but today I need to go out on a social do and that’s when the monsoon blues start- the muck and slush come in, while the clothes weigh down and get slushy and the pitter patter of the rain drops into the hair. The hair! Don’t even ask, Monsoon hair is the worst kind of ‘entangle’ you can get yourself into..But nothing is meant to be perfect in life…or so I thought till I decided to ‘Strandbyme.’

Strandbyme is this set of luxury hair extensions and one product I swear by. Cross my heart, and I shall get wet 😉

This luxe clip in hair extensions is made of remy hair which is the finest quality of human hair available. The clip in mechanism is designed ergonomically unlike most hair extensions that increase exasperation and leave you in a hair tearing situation. The best part is this Hyderabad based company is sourcing the hair ethically so I know I’m doing my little part to the environment.

Monsoons make the hair a task. They spoil the natural quality of hair and make the volume of hair appear smaller, and many times the hair gets tangled. Also, you can’t keep washing the hair every day, but you can’t step out with your hair looking the way the gods of rain want it to. But since I have been using my Strandbyme extensions I have been able to overcome it all!

The volume of the hair has only got thicker as these extensions make some noise! They blend in beautifully with my hair thanks to the array of customizing options they offer, and they are tangle free owing to their superior quality. And many days when I don’t want to shampoo my hair, or it’s greasy I just extend them with strandbyme, and they have a sheen that reflects all things happy and bright!

Styling them is so much fun as I am spoilt for choice- I can curl them, dye them, streak them, iron them or simply perm.. I feel like a little princess left in a hair salon all by myself ( That’s always been a childhood fantasy, and now it’s come true)

The look I have done here is a simple yet very classy retro feels look. I pulled all my hair to one side, and I’ve done a half pony but with some braiding and there are so many styles of braiding that you can never get bored and lastly added soft curls to give it that little edge.  Can you spot the difference between the extensions and my real hair? No right! However, you can notice that with Strandbyme my hair looks so much thicker and luscious.

 

 

Also since I’m a huge believer of “Make In India” and love my city of pearls, I’m going to go one step ahead and tell you where you can order these gorgeous hair extensions. Just log onto www.strandbyme.in and get yourself a good hair day! Now that I have let you into my monsoon hair secret, please tell me what you think of it. Remember peeps. “Good hair vibe attracts the right tribe!”
