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 :P 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 :P
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 :P 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?

Stay beautiful

Hahahaha! The first picture is so classic Paris!! XD
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! >.<
Hey Jenn
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
Actually 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.
Hey ogre_rina
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 :)
To 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
my 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 :(
Hey prettybeautiful
Wah so she carries it around with her? I just leave mine at home :)
I’ve been a big fan of Sunsilk ever since I curi guna Bea’s shampoo when we were holiday-ing at Bangkok :P I’ve tried this leave-in conditioner, and I loved it. And so cheap too!
Hi Tine
I guess that’s why I like it – so cheap!
HAHAH 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 ;)
Hey Kahani
Yay for seeing the humour! :D This leave in is used on dry hair not wet but I’d like to see your alternative
Hah! 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!
Hey Monstro
Ooh this one would be perfect for you! Slip on and go! :D
