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

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

Food for your tresses

Troubled with lifeless looking hair?

Frustrated with fizzy and messy tresses?

Finding it a hassle to comb through your hair with all the tangles?

*frantically raises my hand in the air*

I am really helpless on how to remedy my hair as due to my job scope, I am constantly exposed to the harsh weather conditions from the outside environment. 

To replenish my hair to its former glory, I was determined to move one step further to pamper my hair with other hair treatment products that I do not owe at the moment.

After solidifying my resolution, I went on a mission to rescue my hair with a trip to my favourite drugstore: Watsons to find an affordable hair treatment product as I am utterly broke at the moment with all my impulses shopaholic buys.

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

It’s was then I chance upon the Ellips’s Hair Vitamin Treatment,


What you should know about it:
  • Priced @ $2.50 for a 6 capsule pack or $16.20 for a 50 capsule jar. 
  • Each capsule contains 1ml of the product. 
  • Made in Indonesia.

    There are 4 different types with various benefits to choose from:
    • Hair treatment (Pink capsule) - this is the one that I will be talking about today
    • Smooth and shiny (Yellow capsule)
    • Nutri-colour (Purple capsule)
    • Black, soft and shiny (Black capsule)

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

      More information on the Ellips’s Hair Vitamin Treatment (Pink capsule),
      • It contains: Jojoba oil, UV protection, Pro-vitamin B5, Vitamin A, C and E.
      • For people with: Damaged hair
      • Act as a preventive measure against split ends that are caused by curling, rebonding, colouring and blow drying.

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

       This is how the Ellips’s Hair Vitamin Treatment capsules look.

      Gently peel off the outer rim of the capsule.

       Note: Be careful when handling the capsule as the Ellips’s Hair Vitamin Treatment has a watery texture.

      The proper application method:
      1. Make sure that your hair is washed and your hands are clean and dry.
      2. Either use it on washed semi-dry or washed dry hair.
      3. Carefully open one or two capsule unto your hand (Recommend: Only one capsule is needed for short, medium or slightly longer hair like mine)
      4. Spread the Ellips’s Hair Vitamin Treatment evenly throughout your entire hair, focusing on drier parts like the ends of your hair.
      5. Please avoid the sensitive scalp area to prevent allergies from occurring.
      6. Leave it to dry, need not wash off.

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

      Pros
      • Fast absorption.
      • No oiliness or stickiness.
      • No weird chemical smell.
      • Glossier and healthier looking hair.
      • No tangles during combing.
      • Easier to manage as hair is less fizzy.
      • Effects last for quite a long time even after washing.
      • One capsule is enough for my entire thick and slightly long hair.

      Cons
      • The Ellips’s Hair Vitamin Treatment has a watery texture to it and thus might be a little troublesome to handle when trying to pouring out the contents from the capsule.
      • One capsule might be too much for ladies with thin and short hair. Though do not worry as you can either share the rest with your siblings or store it in a clean container for the next time.

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

      Comments
      I personally find that the Ellips’s Hair Vitamin Treatment is an effective yet relatively affordable hair treatment product. It’s light and small capsules makes it convenient to bring on travels or sleepovers.

      I have heard a fair bit of both the likes and the dislikes on this product; nevertheless I still stand by my view that this is a fabulous product that is worth a try.

      Just spending $2.50 to be given a chance to find a gem that works wonders for your hair in a drugstore is so worth the risk.

      The condition of my hair is really terrible as I love to dye my hair for the sake of novelty and the involvement in my job scope.

      With the help of Ellips’s Hair Vitamin Treatment, all it takes is less than a minute of application time to help tame my dry and fizzy looking hair.

      I love that now it’s is so easy for me to comb through my hair without experiencing any tangles and how smooth and shiny it looks after usage of the Ellips’s Hair Vitamin Treatment.

      With constant usage, my hair fall problems seemed to decrease as well.

      Not forgetting that I do not experience any scalp itchiness or pimple growth on my head during application and after constant usage. I do get such issues if certain brands of hair masks or treatments.

      I am so loving it, I would definitely buy the other three types of Ellips’s Hair Vitamin to try.

      My Verdict
      10 out of 10 stars for being affordable yet effective.

      Will I buy it again?
      DEFINITELY YES, as it really works for me and I can’t find any fault with the Ellips’s Hair Vitamin Treatment.

      Girls, do give it a try. Though if you are still skeptical of the Ellips’s Hair Vitamin Treatment, please do a little test patch on your hand area to see if you are allergic to the product before using it on your entire head.

      To get your paws on it, head down to your nearby Watsons today.

      Till next time ^_^
