This hair product’s formal name is quite a mouthful: Terre D’argile Reequilibriante Aux Argiles Blanches et a l’huile Essentiel De Lavande. Got it?
That’s just frenchspeak for Clay Masque for Flaky Scalp. Isn’t that much easier?
Great for flaky scalp. Bad for pronounciation. Just show a photo at the store to avoid embarassment.
Anyway, I have said flaky scalp. Or at least, I have flaky scalp if I don’t use the right shampoo/conditioner as part of my haircare routine.
The problem with using a regular anti-dandruff shampoo is that I color my hair. And I want to keep my color for as long as possible. So I usually use shampoo for colored hair. and yet I have this flaky scalp problem. ( I know I know..I’m super high maintenace. Such is life. ; p ) Well during my Sungei Wang Adventure, I was introduced to this clay masque from L’oreal Professionnel Line. So this solves the problem perfectly. What you do is after shampooing, you put this on your scalp. Wait 2 minutes, and rinse off ( to save time I also condition the ends of my hair in that two minutes time period)
And voila, my scalp feels clean and healthy.
According to L’oreal, the white clay in the product gently absorbs excess sebum on the scalp, while the lavender oil ingredient soothes skin inflammation to prevent dandruff from coming back.
Well, I think the fact that my usually very sensitive scalp has been 100% flake free for the last 2 weeks, and that my hair feels lighter and softer speaks for itself.
The other great thing is that you can use this as rarely or as often as you like. I find that I only need to use it maybe 2-3 times a week, depending on how my scalp feels. I would definitely recommend this product.
PS/This retails at around RM75 for a 250ml tube.
Okay..so this is Part 2 of our Sungei Wang Adventure. Sungei Wang is huuuuuge. We got there at 2pm, and only finished exploring at 8.30 pm! And all we did mostly was window shopping (except for a spot of actual shopping at one store).And at this store which specializes in hair products..all Huffy and I could say was ..Waaaaah! And the prices was quite decent. Don’t forget to ask for a discount : )
I forgot the name of the store, but its on the 1st floor of Sungei Wang. They have a complete range of all the respectable hair care products you would want.
And this is my most favorite haunt at Sungei Wang: They sell a mix of hair/nail products and beauty gadgets at very good prices. And the store assistants are really friendly, so you can ask a lot of questions about the stuff they have.
SKL Wholesale: This store has really good prices and friendly store assistants who can answer all your questions about their products.
And to end our Sungei Wang adventure I would leave you with this random photo of Huffy buying Famous Amos cookies:
She's addicted to Famous Amos cookies.
Enjoy ; )
In KL…if you’re a true beauty fanatic like moi, the one place you MUST make it a point to visit is… Sungei Wang!!

I think everyone knows where Sungei Wang is – its on Jalan Bukit Bintang right next to Lot 10. Lot 10 is next to Starhill and opposite of Pavillion KL. If you don’t know where Lot 10 or Starhill is… I can’t help you.
Sungei Wang is always crowded and packed… and sometimes you’ll find weird old men looking at you open mouthed…so bring along your sister/boyfriend/pepper spray , and you should be fine. One of my most favorite places at Sungei Wang is Ianti Lash Spa :
Ianti Lash Spa: They stock good quality and affordable Korean cosmetics and they provide such essential life-saving services such as lash extensions and eyeliner tattoo-ing.
Lash extensions at the Strip salon chain in Malaysia costs about RM180, and Ianti it costs about RM90! Half-price! And they do quite a respectable job as well. I also like the brow-shaping service that they provide here.
And for those of you who likes pretty nails:
Naga Nail Spa (left) and Polaris Nail Spa (right)
The prices here are still reasonable and the workmanship is very good. A basic french manicure is only RM30 at Polaris : )
Another hidden gem at Sungei Wang is Anmani Wigs – a store that sells hair wigs, hair extensions and false eyelashes at very good prices. RM10 for a 5 pairs of basic false eyelashes. And they look just as good as my M.A.C ones.
You can buy many styles of wigs, hair extension pieces and false eyelashes here. On the right is a closeup of the more "dramatic" eyelash extensions that they have. Don't worry, they also have more normal looking false eyelashes ; )
What, still want more? Watch out for Part 2 of our Sungei Wang Adventure !
