AG Fast food leave on conditioner review
Winter is so horrible, it just dries everything out! I originally wanted to try the sunsilk leave on conditioner because i read so many good reviews about it (plus its cheap haha) But for some reason none of the drugstores here sell it....So I randomly went to the mall and asked a consultant working at a salon to recommend me a leave in conditioner for semi thick and fine dry hair! This was what she suggested, so I went home to do some more research on it (of course haha :D!) And there wasn't much online but generally the reviews i found were good. I decided to give it a go, and my golly it is wonderful!
Product-4/5 It is lightweight, and a little creamier then a normal conditioner you wash out. Easy to apply although it doesnt give you instructions on how much you need. I would have preferred if it was a spray on, but i think the gel like consistency is better to run it through all over your head while its damp.
Packaging 4/5 -Simple and white
Price 5/5 Not bad, 14$ w/o tax!
Overall 5/5
It made my hair feel so smooth and soft...seriously...I didn't think much would change but wow. It really is shiny and soft haha. I would give it a try if you are looking for a decent priced leave in conditioner :D!
Cheers!

recipe post :D
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced finely (or quartered is fine)
1/4 red onion, sliced finely
1 shallot, sliced finely
1/2 green pepper (capsicum)
1/2 red pepper (capsicum)
1/2 yellow peppers (capsicum)
1 cup prawn, shelled and deveined
1 cup scallops
1 cup squid or calamari, cut into rings
2 packs of mung bean or green bean vermicelli
Dressing
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chopped coriander or cilantro
2 stalks of green onion or ramp, cut finely
2 thai bird chilies or 3 jalepeno peppers (adjust for your preferred spice level)
1 lime, juiced
3 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp fish sauce
Directions
1. Soak the mung bean noodle in cold water to soften them up for about 20-30 minutes before you are ready to cook. Boil them, and be careful not to overcook. Remove from water and drain when ready, blanching in cold water to stop the noodles from overcooking.
2. Cook the seafood in batches, and be sure not to overdo them as the seafood tends to become rubbery when overcooked. A general hint is when they lose their translucency and become white (for the scallops and the calamari) and when they turn pink (for the prawn). Set aside.
3. In separate bowl, mix together the ingredients for the dressing, to taste. It should not be overly salty, sweet, sour, or spicy but a good blend of the four.
4. Combine everything gently together in a bowl.
5. Garnish with some more cilantro or mint and a slice of lime.
