Hey everyone!
I recently got my hands on some of the products from the brand Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret. I’ve been testing them out for a while now. As you all know I’m constantly on the lookout for products that are effective and also kind to my hair and scalp. The market is already flooded with so many options. Honestly speaking sometimes it can get overwhelming. We’re all looking for that one brand that actually lives up to its promises.
A few weeks ago, while searching online I found a brand called Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret. I already saw them on Shark Tank India and the name itself just clicked with me. It brings back memories of my own grandma. It reminds me her secret concoctions of herbs and oils that smelled earthy and felt so nourishing. I was intrigued. Their philosophy is all about bringing back the magic of Ayurveda with 100% natural, chemical-free, and handmade products. So, finally I decided to treat myself and picked up a few things that caught my eye. I ordered four of their products to test whether they are worth the hype?
So without further ado let me walk you through my deep dive into Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret. Here’s the haul and my completely honest thoughts on everything!
Why I Decided to Try Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret
My hair has been through a lot. Due to daily styling, pollution, and stress, I was dealing with hair fall that was honestly getting scary. Every time I ran my fingers through my hair, I’d end up with strands in my hand. I know many of you have messaged me about similar concerns, so I thought this review would be super helpful.
What caught my attention about Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret wasn’t just their Shark Tank appearance (though that did make me curious!). It was their promise of being completely chemical-free. Their products has no sulphates, no parabens, no synthetic fragrances. If you’re curious about why ingredients matter so much in hair care, check out my detailed guide on what to look for in hair products. Plus, they claim their products are handmade with fresh Ayurvedic herbs. I mean who doesn’t love the idea of grandmother’s secret recipes actually working for modern hair problems?
My Shopping Experience and First Impressions
I ordered four products from their website: the 13 Herbs Hair Oil, Herbal Sindoor, Scalp Massager, and Ultra Smoothening Hair Serum. The delivery was pretty quick. I got it in about 3 days as promised. When I opened the package, the first thing I noticed was how thoughtfully everything was packed. Each product came with clear instructions and I appreciated that they included a note about doing a patch test. Safety first, always!
The Star of the Show: 13 Herbs Hair Oil (200mL)
Let’s start with the product I was most excited about: The 13 Herbs Hair Oil. I mean, if a brand is named “Grandmaa Secret,” their hair oil has to be the real deal, right?
First Impressions:
The oil comes in a simple, sturdy bottle. When I opened it, I was greeted with this beautiful, rich herbal aroma. It wasn’t overpowering or artificial; it smelled exactly like something my grandma would have lovingly prepared in her kitchen. It smells like pure, authentic goodness. The oil contains ingredients like Bhringraj, Amla, Neem, Virgin Coconut Oil and ten other herbs.
My Experience:
The first thing I noticed when I poured it into my palm was its texture. It’s surprisingly lightweight and not greasy at all! This is a huge win for me, as I hate that heavy, sticky feeling some hair oils leave. The smell is herbal but not overpowering. It actually reminds me of my grandmother’s homemade concoctions.
I followed the instructions and use this oil it 2-3 times a week. My favorite way to use it is as an overnight treatment. I take a generous amount, warm it up a little and then gently massage it into my scalp for a good 5-10 minutes. The massage itself is so relaxing! Then, I work the remaining oil through the lengths of my hair, paying special attention to the ends.
The results?
Well, they claim a 70% reduction in hair fall within 8 weeks. I can definitely see fewer hairs on my pillow and in the shower drain. My hair feels stronger and I’ve even noticed some new baby hairs along my hairline! The best part is that my scalp feels so much healthier.
One thing to note here, they mention not to microwave the bottle for warming. Instead, keep it in sunlight or under hot water. Smart advice that I wish more brands would give!
A Daily Ritual, Reimagined: Herbal Sindoor (Dual Liquid)
As a married woman in India, sindoor is a part of my daily routine. I’ve struggled with sindoors for years that cause itching or contain harsh chemicals like lead and mercury. When I saw that Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret had a Herbal Sindoor, I immediately added it to my cart.
First Impressions:
This product is so thoughtfully designed! It comes in a dual-ended tube with two beautiful shades: a vibrant classic Red and an elegant deep Maroon. This is perfect because now I can switch up the color depending on my outfit or mood. The applicator is a fine brush which makes application super precise and mess-free.
My Experience:
The biggest test for me was the itch factor. I applied it in the morning and completely forgot about it. This is the best sign! There was zero irritation, zero itching, nothing. It felt so comfortable on my skin. The formula is enriched with Curcumin (from turmeric) and Rosemary Oil. These are known for their soothing properties. I really liked it.
Plus, it’s waterproof and smudge-proof! I went about my entire busy day and it stayed perfectly in place. I did read one review where someone complained about the color spreading after face wash, but I haven’t experienced that issue. It dried quickly and didn’t budge until I removed it.
The Verdict:
For anyone who wears sindoor daily and if you have sensitive skin, give it a try. It’s safe and looks beautiful.
The Rechargeable Scalp Massager – Pure Relaxation
let’s talk about leveling up your hair oiling routine. I’ve always just used my fingertips, but I’ve been curious about scalp massagers. This Rechargeable Scalp Massager from their site looked too good to try.
First Impressions:
It’s a sleek, ergonomically designed little gadget that fits perfectly in my hand. The massaging points are made of soft, flexible silicone that feels gentle on the scalp. It’s rechargeable (yay, no batteries needed!).
My Experience:
I use it to massage in my 13 Herbs Hair Oil. The gentle vibrations and the kneading motion of the silicone nodes feel like a professional spa treatment at home. It’s incredibly relaxing and helps me de-stress after a long day.
But it’s not just about feeling good. The massager is designed to boost blood circulation to the scalp, which is crucial for hair growth. It helps the hair oil penetrate deeper and more effectively, ensuring my hair roots get all that amazing nourishment. It’s an amazing tool for exfoliating the scalp and getting rid of any product buildup. It’s become such an essential part of my self-care routine that I even packed it for my last vacation!
Pro tip: Use it with the hair oil for better experience. Apply the oil first, then use the massager to really work it into your scalp. Your hair will thank you!
The Ultra Smoothening Hair Serum – Mixed Feelings
The Ultra Smoothening Hair Serum is the one product I have mixed feelings about. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad, but it didn’t wow me like the others products.
What’s good: It’s silicone-free which is rare in hair serums. It does control frizz to some extent and gives a nice shine without making hair look greasy. The rice water and argan oil ingredients sound promising and it doesn’t weigh my hair down.
What could be better: The frizz control isn’t as long-lasting as I hoped, especially in humid weather. The 50ml bottle seems small for the price especially since you need to use a decent amount for it to work effectively.
If you’re looking for a natural, silicone-free option and don’t mind reapplying it, its still a decent product. Just don’t expect miracle-level frizz control.
Are These Products Worth Your Money?
After using these products consistently, I can say the 13 Herbs Hair Oil is a must-buy product. If you want nothing else from this brand, get this oil. It’s transformed my hair health, and the results speak for themselves. It’s reasonably priced for a natural handmade product that actually works.
The Herbal Sindoor is perfect if you wear sindoor regularly and have sensitivity issues. The price is fair for what you are getting. The Scalp Massager is a luxury, If you can afford it, go for it. Your scalp will love you.
The Hair Serum is the only product that according to me is not worth the hype. It’s good but not great, especially for the price. Maybe try the other products first and see if you even need a serum after using them.
Tips for Getting the Best Results
Based on my experience, here are some tips if you decide to try these products:
- Be consistent. Natural products take time to show results. Give it at least 4-6 weeks before judging effectiveness.
- Always do a patch test first, especially if you have sensitive skin. They mention this in their disclaimer for a reason.
- Store the products in a cool, dry place. I noticed the oil’s consistency changes a bit in extreme temperatures.
- Don’t expect overnight miracles. These are natural products, not magic potions. But with regular use, you’ll definitely see improvements.
- Always keep in mind all these products are meant to work outside the body but to achieve wonderful results you have to take good care of your diet too.
Final Thoughts
I’m genuinely impressed with Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret. In a market flooded with chemical filled products, this brand that stays true to natural ingredients and actually delivers results. Yes, they’re a bit pricier than regular products but considering they’re handmade with quality ingredients, I think the pricing is justified.
The fact that they are transparent about their ingredients, provide clear usage instructions, and even remind you about patch testing shows they care about their customers’ safety and satisfaction.
Would I repurchase? Absolutely! The hair oil and scalp massager have already earned permanent spots in my hair care routine. The sindoor is a definite yes for special occasions. The serum… well, I’ll probably finish this bottle but might not repurchase unless they improve the formula.
