Dear Readers
I am excited to share with you yet another event that I have attended recently. The Sunsilk event was held at Croisette Cafe at Cascadium Condominium, Bangsar. This place is located near Bangsar Shopping Centre. I had no problem finding the location but parking was another story that I shall not elaborate here.

| Croisette Cafe has a homely ambience. Nothing flamboyant but nice environment. |
We were served with healthy food (except the tiramisu almond cake which I love) made from the ingredients such as olive oil, olive, almond, coconut jelly etc. Some of the ingredients are found in Sunsilk hair care range.
I must praise the PR company for the interesting line up of activities for the afternoon. Our session began with something like a cooking class except we don't cook. We were taught how to make our own brown sugar body scrub using various oil such as camelia, coconut, almond, jojoba etc. I have finished using the scrub and find that it is effective in removing dead skin albeit a little oily. It also stained the bathroom floor which entails some cleaning which I dislike.

| Jess and Juli were very pleased with their home made body scrub! |
We had a guest fashion consultant who explained the type of outfit that will suit long, short, curly, colored or black hair. It was an interesting session. I never thought of matching my outfit with my hair.
We had a session where we had to smell and taste the oil to determine its name. For me, this is a very interesting game. Our team got the correct answer after 2 tries.
That afternoon, we were introduced with the new Sunsilk range formulated by it’s hair experts, Thomas Taw and
Yuko Yamashita. The new Nourishing Soft & Smooth and
improved Smooth & Manageable are now infused with the miracle
blend of five natural oils.
We were also introduced with a new terminology (it's new for me) - "An Afternoon Hair Slump"
The Sunsilk representative illustrates an Afternoon Hair Slump as follows:
"You start off your day with great looking hair, but as the
day goes by, your hair loses its gleam and you fall into an ‘afternoon hair
slump’. Your hair falls flat, becomes dull and so does your spirits for the
rest of the day."
The following are information on Sunsilk’s Nourishing Soft and Smooth and Sunsilk’s Smooth and Manageable. Read on for more information about these 2 hair care range.
Sunsilk’s Nourishing Soft and Smooth
The Nourishing Soft & Smooth variant aims to combat dry
hair by keeping your mane well-nourished for a longer period of time and
creating a protective barrier through a blend of five natural oils. The oils
used in this range are Moroccan Argan Oil, Camelia Oil, Almond Oil, Babbasu
Oil and Coconut Oil.
Steps to use

The first step to caring for your mane begins with the
shampoo. Lather, rinse and repeat are three simple steps to remember when using
the shampoo, which cleanses and softens dry hair.
Nourishing Soft & Smooth Conditioner

your ends and rinse. This conditioner locks in moisture while smoothing

layers and Two sprays on wet or dry hair, to give you instant moisture.
