Originally launched in the Netherlands in 1956, Sunsilk is a leading hair care brand, available in more than 80 countries around the globe. It’s the fastest-growing hair brand in Europe and now Sunsilk is available in Canada!

Because I work in a setting flush with young people, samples for various products are often around. I’m a glutton for samples.

For example, I recently received the entire Sunsilk line of shampoos, conditioners and creams.

I tried (in no particular order):

• Sunsilk Hydra TLC (I don’t have dry hair)
• Sunsilk Anti-poof (I don’t have poofy hair)
• Sunsilk De-frizz (I don’t have frizzy hair)
• Sunsilk Anti-flat (I do have somewhat flat hair)

Oddly enough, I liked the results of all the various formulations but the Anti-flat was indeed the best one. Plus it smelled nice and I really was very impressed with the lather (I should be in focus groups). It was a very pleasant sample experience.

You know, I’m a marketers dream — the next time I bought shampoo (just this past weekend) I bought a big bottle of Sunsilk Anti-flat.

I use my special Lakme shampoo every other wash — and up until now I was a Pantene Pro-V gal.

No longer.

But I better ask my friend and hair consultant S. if this new dream shampoo has any hidden horrors for my sensitive and delicate hair follicles — lest this stuff be very bad for my hair.

Pantene Pro-V — at least until S. weighs in — is ovah.

Today I got up a bit late and threw on some jeans, running shoes and a nice brown top. Perfect for brunch or a day at the office when you have a lot of work to do — not so perfect when you have a meeting that calls for business attire. I usually have a suit or blazer/jacket in my office for days like this but not this time…I took most of my winter emergency meeting stuff home. All I had was a green jacket that didn’t go with my outfit. Frankly, it goes with very little but I’m oddly fond of it.

So I went home on my lunch and changed. This is the second time in seven years I’ve done this.

Not much more to tell, really. I probably should bring another suit to the office. Lesson learned — again. This will be the last time.

On another note, I’ve been getting a lot of nice feedback on my Facebook story (on Facebook no less) which pleases me.
