Product Review : Sunsilk Weather Defense Serum

It's midnight as I'm doing up this post, but probably 12 noon when all of you are reading this. Still trying to be professional despite my mood :D So as promised, I'm going to finish this and prepare myself for some awkwardness / hostility tomorrow!

Weeks ago, I attended an event held by Sunsilk SG. In case you haven't read it, catch up HERE! So I actually promised a few readers that I would do a review on the serum but I've been dragging it for a pretty long time! But late is better than never right? This post comes along with a little bonus at the end!

Okay. I know I had TWO of these from the events. And they came with boxes. What happened was that... My mom unboxed the first one and used it. And then she decided to unbox the second one to bring out with her. It's a bad thing because that means I don't have the ingredients list! It's also a good thing because it just shows how portable it is? The packaging is really simple and sleek. You can twist the pump to the right to lock it and to the left to unlock it.

I really like the bright kinda slightly turquoise blue packaging? I'm not sure if I've described it right but you can see it for yourself clearly in the picture!

If you've read my post on dying my hair HERE, you'd know that it's a complete HORROR. I wake up to that horror every morning and feel upset about it.

See how HORRIBLY DRY it is?!!??!! I cannot live without hair mask/conditioner/serum/essence now. Just look at the pathetic state of my hair.

Here's a close up at my ball of hay. You can even see my split ends because I've not cut my hair yet. Doing it soon with my favorite hairstylist, Ken!

Moving on from my hair "depression", it's time to see the serum!

The heart shape is absolutely unintentional. I was trying to focus my camera on it and somehow it just slid around my palms and ended up like that. How would I describe it..? It's a pretty thick serum, less runny than the pink Essential serum. It smells absolutely heavenly, like a sweet fruity scent that I personally believe is appealing to at least 90% of the general public?

Before using, you must rub the serum in your hands and warm it up nicely so that it'll absorb better into your hair. If you have very long and/or thick hair, I recommend for you to section if so that you can spread the serum evenly. Patiently rub it into your hair and let it absorb the goodness. Once fully absorbed, your hands should have no sticky residue!

L - After / R - Before

Can you see the super obvious difference? I only did it on one side so that you can compare the difference. I'm not saying that this is a miracle serum but it does help a lot with my hair. Makes it less frizzy, less wild and more importantly, smoother. I think it's a temporary fix because my hair's a goner after all, it can't really absorb any nutrients anymore.

If your hair is very much alive, or not damaged to the extent of mine, this will be terrific for you! It's also like hair perfume, you'll smell delightful after using. I loved this during my competition at Lunar, it made my hair smell good despite the smokey environment.

And did you know, you can now grab any TWO of these serum for $13.90 ONLY? I'm stocking up, hope I'm not too late to tomorrow!

Texture : ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Nice and slick, absorbs easily.)

Effectiveness : ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ (It's a temporary fix for horrible hair!!!)

Scent : ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (If you've been reading Domokie, you'd know that I adore fruity scents!!!)

Overall : ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ (Okay, it's 3.5 stars actually, however at the moment it's just insufficient for my hay(hair))

Love,

Chiharu ❤

Product Review : Ichikami Hair Treatment Essence

Okay firstly, I have a bad piece of news. It would seem my camera is in the ICU now. So posting might be a little slow and I'll be relying on Ringo for now.

But anyhow, today, I've a great deal for my lovelies!

A product from the Ichikami series! Remember the shampoo and conditioner from Ichikami? Yes, cherry blossoms are back to haunt you!

PLEASE, pardon the mess on my table. I really have nowhere left to keep my stuff!

The ingredients list, hope it's clear enough for all of you~

I really like the whole simple black and pink design. The pink's a really soft shade too :)

Best of all? You get a whopping 100ml in the bottle! Correct me if I'm wrong but most hair essence/serum only gives you 30ml. Most, some give 50ml but 100ml is the biggest I've seen so far!

Here's what it looks like! It looks creamy but truly it is a very lightweight lotion/essence thingy that absorbs really quickly into your hair!

Here's what Ichikami says about this essence!

"A rich, moisturizing leave-in type beauty essence that moisturizes and repairs damaged hair cuticles from within, enhanced with long lasting hair protecting properties to prevent further damage. Formulated with Pure Premium Botanical Essences and Squalan to repair and hydrate each and every strand of hair, resulting in smooth, silky hair that slips right through your fingers." - Said by Ichikami but typed by yours truly! Couldn't copy and paste > o <

In case anyone's confused, Squalan is like olives? A form of it anyway and we all know how beneficial olives are to our hair :D

Here you have my naked hair, it looks kinda alright because I've really been taking good care of it!!! It's just a little unruly, a little messy, a little frizzy, a little rough and a little too many little problems!!!

L - With / R - Without

With a little pump of that essence, it has tamed my hair quite a lot. The curls are more defined, neater and definitely smells better! Like I said, my hair slurps it up greedily leaving it shiny, tamed and delicious. Now that's a weird word but the scent of this essence isn't exactly simply floral to me, it's also somewhat sweet and fruity! I ADORE THIS. I wasn't sponsored this bottle okay, I went to buy it after trying a sample and it's just great! <3 In case anyone's worried, this is slightly sticky at first but all you have to do is to rub it into your hair till it's fully absorbed. All will be well then.

Personally, I like using this on wet hair. Did you know that our hair's just like our face? When we leave it to natural dry, towel dry or even blow dry it, moisture escapes along with the water that's evaporating! So we have to use something to coat our hair and seal all possible leakage of moisture before our hair becomes HAY. With constant usage, your hair feels softer and it's easier to comb through with your fingers without meeting any knots~ So yes, it does do what it claims!

Also, I actually didn't plan on scheduling this review first... But when I learnt of this great deal, I had to!

TA-DA~~~ Yes, poor me, I bought it for $14.90 but now you can get it for $9.70!!! I want a backup :D

Texture : ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (Slightly sticky at first...)

Effectiveness : ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (Definitely softer and more moisturized, prefer this on wet hair though!)

Scent : ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (BRAVO BRAVO. I LOVE IT)

Overall : ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (It's really not bad! Just one star off because I personally prefer something with a little more slick in it. It's just me though, besides it's a great deal to get it now!)

Love,

Chiharu ❤

Disclaimer : It's not sponsored, I bought this from Watsons myself!

Event : Sunsilk Weather Defense Launch

Lack of post because I went for my semi finals yesterday. And I got kicked out. /.\ But let's recall my feeling before I got kicked out, I was really excited for this Sunsilk event!!! I was always checking this range out in Watsons but the testers were MIA as usual and I couldn't try out the serum nor the cream! So I was super glad to be invited to this event :D Thank you TSS and Sunsilk!!!

PRESENTING...

The screen's a little weird because it's not your normal blank screen, it was done on some glass thingy!

Our speaker, Shawn! Or Sean? There's like two spellings for his name x___x Please correct me if I'm wrong but for now I'll just go with Shawn.

Can you see that his hair is tinged with blue? :D (Maybe it's to match the event!)

HAIR FACTS! The only thing I like about humid weather is that it helps our hair grow. -.- Other than that, it's not good at all!!!

The four products! Namely the Sunsilk Weather Defense Shampoo, Conditioner, Leave on and serum!

Caring for her hair, can you spot her satisfied smile? I vaguely remember it might be because the product smelt soooooo good!

He's explaining how we should evenly spread the product on our hair and the benefits of the product!

*Sneaks a glance at her own hair!* 

See her super satisfied smile!!! So happy on a Saturday morning~

After using, you'll realize that you can comb through your hair easily! Gets rid of nasty tangles~

More combing.

He shared with us A LOT of tips!

1. Did you know that if you're washing your hair in very hot water, you're damaging your hair too?
2. If you use styling products, you're recommended to shampoo twice! (Might clog your hair follicles if ya don't!)
3. If you want healthier hair, condition hair ends FIRST after wetting hair thoroughly and then shampoo scalp ONLY. When rinsing, allow the foam to flow over the hair ends to wash off remaining conditioner. (Does NOT apply if you use styling products!!!) -> Am currently trying to see if this really helps!!!
4. Instead of rubbing your towel all over your head to dry your hair, pat your hair dry. Helps in reducing frizzy hair because friction is reduced.
5. To ensure that your hair's moisture is nicely sealed in, please use a leave in cream before allowing hair to dry naturally / blow dry!
6. We should always massage our scalps thoroughly because if you've realized, most of us only focus on our hair ends! We often neglect our scalps and that can lead to pimply scalp, dandruff or even fungus! (EEEww. Now that you know, don't ever neglect your scalp!)

And then greedy me helped myself to a huge serving of ice cream. Call me fatty~~~

Had our polaroids taken by the very nice, Shu Yun? Once again I'm not sure of the exact spelling so please correct me if I'm wrong!!!

My new babies! One of the leave on cream went mysteriously MIA and I was super upset!!! I flipped my house upside down but I couldn't find it. I suspect it was actually stolen > o < Oh well, Sunsilk has definitely caught my attention and I now have my eyes on their orange series, for damaged hair if I'm not wrong. I have super damaged hair plus I'm going to dye it again soon! So yes the orange is on my Want list~
