This morning, I woke up feeling and looking like this character below:-
My hair was not a pretty sight I can assure you. I scared even myself 😛 I don’t know what happened to my hair in the middle of the night but I vaguely remember having some vivid dreams and waking up in the middle of the night with my hair all over my face.
Here’s something that has helped me recently – the Sunsilk Smooth and Manageable Leave in Conditioner treatment.
The ad on tv promises you that in 1 minute you’ll have long smooth hair to tempt any male at the lifts into either helping you carry something big and bulky or into forgetting his own head. So of course I had to try – never mind that I have short hair 😛
Unfortunately for me, the drive to work was uneventful and there was no one at the office lifts when I got there so bleh… to enticing males into doing your bidding 😛 Truth is, it takes less than a minute to smoothen the leave in conditioner through your hair. It does make the hair more manageable and less flyaway and messy and does not weigh it down.
One of the drawbacks for me, is the smell. The floral fragrance is rather strong – good if your hair is going to be covered up the whole day in a hijab or tudung but not so good if it isn’t because it can mess with your perfume. It will dissipate over the day but will never go away entirely.
Fragrance aside, it works to tame my crazy hair days so I’m sticking to using this for emergencies or crazy mornings when I know I don’t have time to wash and blow dry my hair back into a semblance of order.
Tip: After applying a leave in conditioner, always wash your hands. You do not want the silicones coming into contact with your face especially if you have sensitive skin as you might encounter breakouts.
I can’t remember how much this little bottle cost but I think its below RM10. A 50ml bottle retails for RM3.20! Not too pricey for something that works to help make you look just that bit more presentable in the morning.
Spend Christmas in Paris?
Not sponsored by me and I’m ineligible to take part in this as I’m no longer in college or university (hides in a corner and weeps) but if you are, go over to the Sunsilk Gang of Girls Blog to Paris page, you could win an all expenses paid trip to Paris. The terms for joining are on the site so go over and check it out.
Christmas in Paris – I want to join too! Perhaps I’ll sign up for a short course at a uni hehe… anyone want to join me? 😛
Stay beautiful

Ugh i wake up feeling like that sometimes too! My hair has been breaking off alot lately, so those annoying short strands stick straight up from my scalp… so ugly! >.<

I’m glad you’ve picked up my style 😉 Ooh I know what you mean about your hair breaking off. I hate it too and that usually means its time for a trim for me

August 19, 2009 at 7:03 pmActually i agree with you that the smell is too strong. I wear tudung but even through it can smell. Plus it might stick on the tudung and then it will smell and then need to wash. Maybe if they make it less flora-ly then it would have been worth it.

Ya I think the idea is maybe if there’s a scent through the tudung then it can mask musky smells after a whole day? *shrugs* A lighter scent would be nice 🙂

August 19, 2009 at 7:05 pmTo tell the truth why is it that almost all hair products smell too strong anyway? But i like my yves rocher phytum actif shampoo because it smell like vegetables a bit. hehe

August 19, 2009 at 7:54 pmmy sis has been a sunsilk’s die hard fan for years and it really does magic on her hair…she is so religious that she uses this type of conditioner every 3 hour or so! more frequently than me using lotion. LOL. however, sunsilk is just not my thing 🙁

August 19, 2009 at 8:17 pmI’ve been a big fan of Sunsilk ever since I curi guna Bea’s shampoo when we were holiday-ing at Bangkok 😛 I’ve tried this leave-in conditioner, and I loved it. And so cheap too!

August 20, 2009 at 11:04 amHi Tine
I guess that’s why I like it – so cheap!

August 19, 2009 at 10:30 pmHAHAH oh this made me laugh so hard. Brilliant, brilliant post Paris. Thing is much as I love this I’ve strayed because it needs to be used on wet hair and I don’t always find it convenient! Will be reviewing my alternative 😉
ParisB says
August 20, 2009 at 11:05 amHey Kahani
Yay for seeing the humour! 😀 This leave in is used on dry hair not wet but I’d like to see your alternative

August 20, 2009 at 12:02 pmHah! Kacang wrapper on your head eh?? Cute!
I’m so trying this–for that price, it’s worth checking out.
I have unruly hair that is in need of taming and I need to do everything fast-fast now!
