----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Without further ado, I will be sharing with you girls more on the Sun Silk Weather Defense range, my personal feedback and the lovely event that I was kindly invited to.

Many thanks to Sun Silk and The Sample Store for the kind invitation and the fun time I had at the Sun Silk Weather Defense Blogger Event. I totally enjoyed myself and have too picked up valuable hair care tips as well.

The event was held on a lovely Saturday afternoon at Heeren Ben and Jerry’s for a casual and fun sharing session.

And… one of the highlight was that we are able to create our own sundae with the combination of any flavors, toppings or sides. 

I must add that it’s really a sinful indulgence but it is absolutely a blast to experience a nice cold sugar rush on a typical sunny afternoon.

Not to mentioned that the staffs at Ben and Jerry’s was really friendly as well, the guy serving us was super attentive and patient as I took a super long time before deciding as I was like totally spoiled for choice with all the temping flavors.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shortly after placing my orders and mingling with fellow bloggers, it was then time for the introduction and sharing session for the Sun Silk Weather Defense range.

We got to meet the bubbly and cheerful Shawn who is a representative from Unilever Singapore to share his vast knowledge on the Sun Silk Weather Defense range and impart useful hair care tips to us to attain a more confident self.

The Sun Silk Weather Defense range is specifically formulated to help battle against the harmful effects of the constantly changing elements of the weather namely the: Sun’s UV rays, heat, humility, wind and even the natural pollutants in the atmosphere.

Why are they harmful to our hair?


UV rays are not only harmful to our skin but are actually the main cause of dry and fizzy looking hair. It too affects the texture and cause more breakages as it weakens the hair directly at the follicle area.

Living in an urban environment, we are always subjected to constantly moving in and out of the air-condition room into the sun. Due to the fluctuation in the change of temperature, our hair will tend to contracting and expanding rapidly to adapt to the changes and thus resulting in tangled, split ends and limp looking hair.

Heat that raises the temperature above 24 degrees will too cause the hair to fizz up as well.

Excessive moisture lost of the hair due to the exposure to wind also plays a part as it carries away the moisture we need to maintain to prevent hair breakages and split ends from developing.

Even through our precious hair is considered as a dead being, it is constantly adapting itself to the unpredictable weather and thus makes appropriate changes to suit the environment. Thus it is never easy to take proper care for your glorious tresses.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 With the collaboration of Sun Silk and Teddy Charles, the end result was to achieve a targeted hair care range that protects our hair against the weather elements, retains our hair shape and is ultimately fizz proof and easy to incorporate in our everyday lives.

To make all this possible, the fabulous research team from Sun Silk uses their patent state of the art, nano complex formula with 1,000 smaller than a single strand of hair particles for natural weightless bouncy looking hair with the locking in of moisture and the protection it needs to battle against harsh weather conditions.

And… They even search high and low before they found the Rose of Jerico to complete their mission impossible.


Have not heard about it, here’s more information:
  • Native to the Valley of the Dead Sea in Israel
  • It contains natural unique enzymes called Trehalose that aids in efficient moisture retention. This unique enzyme is known to have helped the plant to survive even under the harshest desert conditions without even withering.

Thus with such a fantastic ingredient added, it results in the creation of Sun Silk Weather Defense range with the functions to instantly strengthen, proves 24 hours protection and hydrates for a healthier and highly resilient hair while combating fly away, fizz and flatness.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS. Did you know that actually the scent stays and lingers on longer on your hair than your skin? Thus with the specially concocted harmonious blend of citrus, floral and musky sandal wood, one will stay fresh and nice smelling all day long without the need of additional hair cologne.

Shawn even mentioned that actually the entire Sun Silk hair care series are all differently scented.

Perhaps I should proceed on to be inspector Sherlock for a day to personally sniff this mystery out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To prove that the Sun Silk Weather Defense range is not just all talk, Shawn even chose a volunteer from the audience to demonstrate on its instant effects on achieving voluminous, fizz free and smooth silky hair in just mere minutes.

Here’ Shawn working his magical fingers on the volunteer’s existing limp looking curls.

Using just the Sun Silk Weather Defense Leave On, Shawn managed to create instant rejuvenation and more defined looking curls that even the volunteer was surprised when she looked at her own hair.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the entire sharing session, I did pick up some useful tips that I would love to share with you girls.

-----

Tips for healthier and enviable looking tresses:
  • Washing your hair every single day is not a problem, though do only use cold or luke warm water to prevent getting heat damage to your hair
  • Strengthen your hair and prevent unwanted breakages by using cold water to wash your hair

-----

Proper usage of the Sun Silk Weather Defense Leave On:
  • Use after showering on clean, semi wet hair to help create a protective layer before blow drying
  • Spread evenly on palm before apply in a rubbing circular motion for wider coverage
  • Lightly comb though your hair using your fingers to prevent tangles and to give an airy feel after application
  • Do avoid the scalp area during application and divide your hair into different segments for hassle free application and a more even coverage

-----

Tips for healthier and manageable hair:
  • Always start by conditioning the mid to the ending tips of your hair
  • Next shampoo the scalp area on the top of your head and allow the shampoo to slowly flow down to the rest of your hair
  • Last but not least, rinse it off and be ready to welcome a more smooth and enviable hair in just 5 washes.
  • PS. For those with colored hair or really damaged hair, do replace the conditioner with the use of a treatment mask for more intense reconstructive capabilities

-----

The cause of dandruff and the ways to cure it:
  • The cause of dandruff is caused mainly by 2 elements: Hormone issues or bacteria and fungus growth
  • Other contributing factors to be considered are: Dehydration, the environment, unhealthy lifestyles and even weather conditions
  • And… For now the only and most effective method is to choose and use the right hair care shampoo to target your problems, never be afraid to admit you have dandruff problems as with the constant usage of the wrong shampoo it will only aggravate the situation

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Look absolutely yummy right? Here’s my long awaited toasty waffle with the mouth watering sorbets.

Continuation of Judy Lin's Magic

I feel extremely privileged to be once again selected as one of the volunteers for the Shills Beauty D.I.Y workshop with the presence of Taiwanese famous beauty guru, Ms Judy Lin.

Ms Judy Lin is a well-known stylist, a book writer and also one of the skillful beauty experts that often grace the famous Taiwan beauty talk show 女人我最大 (Known as Lady First & Wqueen).

Grabbing a quick bite after attending their previous workshop at Tampiness Mall earlier in the day, I quickly made my way down to Jurong Point to participate in their evening show.

PS. For those who would like to know the tips that I have picked up in the previous Shills Beauty D.I.Y workshop and my up close and personal interview with Ms Judy Lin, read up more @

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Getting back to the Shills Beauty D.I.Y workshop,

Once I have reach Jurong Point, I patiently waited for the preparation of the stage to be done and the show to get officially started.

It wasn’t long before the cheerful emcee started his routine to get the audience gathered and all hyped up before the arrival of Ms Judy Lin.

On the whole, there were a total of 3 different segments for the workshop,
  1. Attainment of a more slender silhouette with the collaboration of easy massage techniques
  2. Achieving clean and clear complexion that is free from stubborn white and blackheads
  3. Luxurious salon styled hair in less than 30 minutes

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To get thing started, Judy started off with the introduction of the formidable slimming duo,

The new improved Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control with 157% more caffeine for increased cellulite burning, skin tightening and firming properties.

A helpful volunteer was selected to demonstrate the instant results after usage of the Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control.

Judy then applied a generous amount of the Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control on the arm of the volunteer and massage in an upward motion to promote better blood circulation to increase the body’s metabolism rate thus in turn aid in the burning of fatty deposits.

Thereafter, Judy proceed to cover the arm that was applied with the Shills Miracle Lift Body Contour Control in a plastic shrink kitchen wrap to barrier off the cold air condition for better results. 

And guess what, the volunteer's arm did slim down by 1 cm in total in just such a short amount of time.

Next up is the usage of the Anosa Fit Patch for efficient cellulite burning and toning even though there is no exercise involved or even as you are sleeping during the night.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the such a great combination on the functions to firm, tone, increase cell metabolism, prevents aging skin and even helps to detoxify the body, girls like me no longer have an excuse to be lazy.

Meet the stars of the Shills Black Charcoal Pore Clarifying Series.

First off, apply the Shills Black Gel Deep Sebum Softener on your t-zone areas and massage gently in a circular motion to deeply cleanse the pores and to soften even the most stubborn blackheads.

Girls, you might all be thinking about why have I not make my appearance yet right?

It is because I am involved in the last segment for the day, the hairstyling demonstration.

The sidekicks that will be starring with Judy Lin and me in the demonstration.

After a short assessment of my dense yet limp looking hair, Judy generously sprays the Shills Magical Hair Volumizer with Camellia Extracts and immediately blow dry my hair to add volume and bounce to my tresses.

Next armed with a hair curler, Judy then curl my hair to create natural looking curls to aid the creation of the popular princess hair style that is currently one of the hottest trend in Taiwan, Japan and Korea.

The most surprising thing of all is that all this is made possible without the need of bum pits to add volume to the top of the head.

Judy then starts off by dividing my hair into 3 portions, tie the middle portion into a bun and sprinkled some Shills Dust It on the top portion of my hair to give it an fluffy, airy and volumized effect.

Thereafter, Judy then carefully used the top of my hair to cover the pre-tied bun to create a natural looking hump on my head.

After securing the hump with a special screw shaped pin which she have mentioned on 女人我最大 (Known as Lady First & Wqueen) before, Judy proceeds to lightly spray on the Shills Fluffy Fix Maximizing Hair Volume Spray to set the hair before adding a floral clip to add a cute and feminine touch to the entire look.

Judy too add that if you would like a quick image change from a day office look to a night partying look, simply just swirl all the bottom hair up and secure it with a bobby pin for a refreshing new image.

Here are the close-up shots of the final masterpiece with the fabulous hair styling products from Shills and Judy’s magical fingers,
