A SILKY SOLUTION TO RECHARGE YOUR HAIR – A WANDERLUST TESTIMONY!!

Wanderlust has always been an integral part of self. The hankering was so deep and strong in me that people around me decided I was born nomadic. The inclination remains insatiate regardless of how many trips I make. And here are a few incredible moments from my voyages when I felt my hair needed a recharge to feel fresh and proactive for challenging situations. But, I did also find a great silky solution to retain the Shine of my Mane throughout my trips, be it past/present/future – SUNSILK (http://www.sunsilk.in/)

To validate my claim on Sunsilk, here is a personal testimony on how the Shampoo has helped me to keep my hair recharged throughout my wanderlust.

GLOBE-TROTTING:

Climbing the Great Wall of China:

                When we were taken to China as a part of our MBA study package, our tour agent promised a day visit to the Great Wall of China. And that was exactly where we were on October 23, 2012 – JUYONG PASS OF THE GREAT WALL. Our tour guide informed us that interested students could climb the wall as long as we stuck to the itinerary and were back within 2 hours. Out of the 90, nearly 60 started walking along the never-ending lines that stretched before us. But, the crowd started thinning after a kilometre and before long; I was the only girl among a troop of 6 making our way towards an end that never did exist. We fought our way through the chilly wind that blew flat on our faces and made each step even more painful. When we scaled the 40^th kilometre, the air had also thinned just like the crowd and we were holding onto our breaths. Our spent energy levels signalled the end of the climb and we marked the moment by getting ourselves an Achievement certificate for climbing 40kms of the Great Wall. Feeling elated, we gobbled down water to ready ourselves for the walk back to the base. As we retraced our journey backward, the brutish wind attacked our backs with its icy tentacles. The roundabout trip with the wind as our cruel companion made my teeth chatter, but it could not vandalize my recharged hair.  There is a statement that says, ‘A girl checks her lipstick even if she stands on the Mt Everest’, but I never did fuss over my hair.   

Bungee-Jumping in Macau:

                At 10.20pm on October 27, in Macau – ‘The Las Vegas of Asia’, I was getting ready to perform the penultimate feat to wrap up my final day of the 7-day trip to China. I was standing on the 61^st floor of the AJ Hackett Macau Tower – Home to Asia’s highest free fall which is a staggering 233m drop. The moment I heard they had night bungy, I had decided. I WAS JUMPING and missing it for nix naught nothing in the world. Buckled up in clinky and clangy chains, I stood at the edge of the jump-zone and let my cheeks take in the pinching cold of the salty breeze. The panoramic view of the lit up city left me agape and glancing down made my jaw drop. Before I could contemplate on the acrophobia building inside, my guide gave me THE nudge. What comes next is a feel I can never capture in words. The speed of my fall was nearly 200km/h and I could feel my hair flapping upward, pulling hard at my roots, though in a ponytail. Then, the flurry disappeared as sudden as it had come and I was handing upside down, my mortality hinged to a single bloody rope. Drinking in every last moment of being air-borne, I glided down slowly to the drop-zone. When I landed to shouts and cheers, the first thing that struck my mind after coming to senses was: ‘OMG, am I on camera? Is my hair all messed up?’ But, I needn't have fret because my hair felt smooth and in place notwithstanding the jump in a tempestuous climate.

               
Standing on the tip of the Tallest among Wonders:

          I hate lifts and this lift in particular was giving me claustrophobia. When eventually it stopped, I sprang out and stopped short. I was standing witness to the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious spread of scenery that numbed my senses. I just stood there doting as the seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours. The savage wind threatened to rock me off my feet but I couldn't move. When my sissy ultimately succeeded in pulling me back to the elevator, the wind had neither rocked me off nor tousled my hair. My time at the EIFFEL TOWER had just been perfectly romantic, though short of the Prince Charming.

Gondola Ride in the Gusty Weather:

                           
          In Venice, we traversed the turquoise waters near the Piazza San Marco in their traditional ride: The Gondola. I had a splendid time as the gondolier took us under the Bridge of Sighs, through the routes that boasted of the Casanova’s castle and stilted houses. Even the roughness of the incessant wind could not perturb my spirits nor my hair.

Embracing 2012 with a Lankan touch:

I, along with my three besties rolled out the red carpet for 2012 to embark on at a Rooftop party in a hotel in Colombo (Sri Lanka). We rocked it out for the whole night and gave a tumultuous welcome to 2012. We grooved and moved on the dance floor shaking off both our mane and worries.

Who doesn’t love beaches? The fine sand shores with the soft waves lapping them always mesmerize and put our souls at peace. And I never miss a chance to run to a beach whenever I can. Though my home-town is devoid of a beach, I have visited umpteen numbers such as the Marina, Juhu, Kanyakumari, Lido (Venice), Macau beach, Siloso in Sentosa (Singapore), Lankan beaches etc. The balmy essence of the beaches give me a carefree outlook and I just run along the shores, banishing all my anxieties about the future and the arduous after-task of untangling my matted hair. Especially seeing that my Bring-it-on attitude took care of the future and my recharged hair stood the salty breeze.

Daring Devil:
         Anything adventurous and daring tantalizes me. The free spirit in me rejoices as I go camping or trekking or skiing (in Manali) or am suspended air-borne even for the briefest of moments. I also draw the same kind of excitement from the daunting land rides everywhere. Hanging upside down in the ranger, experiencing that tingliness when the Colombus reaches its tip, feeling the force of air as the Roller-coaster speeds up like a Veyron – Those moments are unbeatable!! Once I alight those rides, even my unruffled hair makes me look the way I feel: Placid amidst Puffs!!

                

Thus, blessed with hair that can stay recharged and fresh under pressure has helped to keep exploring my nomadicity. Still, every mortal creation needs an elixir to make it immortal. I knew I had to charge up my hair for all my forthcoming expeditions around the world. I started hoping my Fairy Godmother would effortlessly flick her wand and materialize a secret potion that would instantly recharge my hair.
