Dabur Vatika Masks/DCs Master Review List

[DarkJoy]

A search did not show that this entire product line was covered in a single thread. Let's do it here

Dabur Vatika Hair Mask & DC users or interested folk: share your stories! Let’s discuss this line in detail.

For those that haven't tried it yet, Dabur Vatika Masks and DCs are an Ayurvedic line (but not all natural) that costs ~$5 per tub on the ground (however, I've seen it as much as $15 online !!). There's lots to choose from for any hair issue in existence, it seems .

• Are you natural, relaxed, transitioning, color treated? Natural
• Which one(s) have you tried? Please detail the exact products and experience & with each (fragrance, consistency, results on and off hair, long term results, etc).
  • Garlic Growth Mask--This is a staple. It works! Super slippy. It doesnt smell garlicky at all. Has a nice soft frangrance and did make a little growth spurt for me. However, that did not last past the first month. This my hair got used to it. So I'm laying off it for a while. It left my hair very moisturized and detangling is a non-issue.
  • Virgin Olive DC--I got volume for days! It does not leave the hair super soft, so I THINK it has a little protein in it (I didnt check). But there were no detangling issues and no need to use a moisture DC afterwards (for me).
  • Egg Protein Mask--love it! Nice mid-level reconstructor. Smells like baby oil Since using this weekly for the last 4 months, I've found I dont need to do heavy proteins (yet). I leave it on for 15mins to half an hour and I'm good to go. Generally, a moisture DC is needed afterwards.
• Which were hits and/or misses? No misses yet!
• Any other details of note? They all seems to have a custard-like consistency and soft frangrances that don't last on the hair very long. Fine with me.
• What's on your list to try next? Black seed or night repair if I can find it.

Thanks for this thread!

When you say they are not all natural ...do you mean they have "bad" ingredients like mineral oil, petroleum, silicones, etc?

 

[DarkJoy]

@NappyRina. To be clear:

There are no Silicones or Mineral Oils in the Dabur Vatika DCs. However, their other products are full of them.

They are some chemical names I have no idea of what they are though . I'm sure a quick google would solve that, but really, it's so rare for me to find a product that works for my fine hair and sensitive scalp that I'm not gonna look a gift condish in the mouth

ETA the ingredient list for the lemon. IDK what methyl..whatever is. IDC at this point either

 

[BranwenRosewood]

Methylchloroisothiazolinone is a preservative.

I feel you girl ... it's awesome when we find something that works wonders for our hair ... especially when it's CHEAP!!!

I did a search for the ingredients for the Masks and you're right they may not be all natural but they do not include any of the so-called "bad" ingredients like Mineral Oil, Petroleum & Silicones... the Methyl- ingredients at the end are preservatives

** So far it appears that the ingredients for the Olive Oil Mask and the Hot Oil Treatment Mask are almost identical and the rest are unique.

I'm so looking forward to everyone's reviews for these inexpensive conditioners. Most conditioners that are in this price range are full of the "bad" ingredients mentioned above and usually don't contain these types of herbs & extracts. The only thing I see may be an issue for me is possibly having to add oils to the ones that seem to have none.

 

[DarkJoy]

Thank you RavenSR for that research. I was scared to look myself! But that preservative doesnt seem so bad.

Thank you too NappyRina for laying down the ingredients lists for each product.

I've seen these products mentioned by others on LHCF and was hoping they would pipe up with their own reviews and experiences as well.

 

[BranwenRosewood]

DarkJoy

No problem. Sometimes I don't want to look up ingredients either because the product looks good and it works. I use ORS Creamy Aloe shampoo and I will not look up everything on the ingredient list because I know that if I do I'll stop using it.

 

[Atdow71]

I didn't know they had all of these products. I want to try the black seed (mainly because the bottle is pretty)

 

[gorgeoushair]

Bumping....didn't know this thread existed.

 

[DarkJoy]

Hello! Forgot about this thread.

I have since tried the lemon mask. My scalp rebels so thats a no go for me. Unfortunately my hair likes it and it has a nice fragrance.

Still got the garlic and olive/henna as staples. The egg is real good but I've been trying other reconstructors just to not be bored. Lol

I got black seed in my cart so its up next

Where are u getting the black seed one from? I tried buying this online this past weekend and thought I found a site through google that offered free shipping. I checked out and everything and.even got confirmation and tracking and then got a refund email from paypal. I was confused cause I didn't know why they would refund me my money. I found out a day or two later they emailed me but.it was in my spam box saying something was wrong with their site because it wasn't calculating the shipping.

gorgeoushair its on Amazon.com

 

[gorgeoushair]

^^Yeah I saw that but was looking for a better deal on the 500g.

 

[DarkJoy]

The only better deals are on the ground. Online markup is ridiculous. All of these deep conditioners are $5 at Indian markets. Hell I might just go friday.... screw the markup.

 

[gorgeoushair]

^^Yeah I know....ridiculous!

 

[Pennefeather]

DarkJoy,

Have you noticed any color changes with the olive oil mask since it contains henna?

 

[DarkJoy]

DarkJoy,

Pennefeather. No color change. It's hardly any henna in it to do that. The conditioner color is cream with hardly any hint of henna red.

 

[julzinha]

Is anyone still using these DCs ?

 

[DarkJoy]

Is anyone still using these DCs ?

Yes! But I ran out and got distracted with other products. Was going to get back to their DC this fall. Have you tried any yet?

 

[julzinha]

Nope, but I'm constantly on the look out for cheap and effective products. Which ones are your faves?

 

[Bibliophile]

for this thread @ Darkjoy. I'm traveling. I'll be back to post my review.

 

[werenumber2]

Is anyone still using these DCs ?

I bought the Black Seed DC from an Indian market months ago and forgot I even had it. I tried it out a few weeks ago and it's really nice!
