************

When the Garnier Whole Blends line came out, I wanted to try this creamy leave-in conditioner to see how it compares to the one in the green bottle. I’ve been using it for a few months now and I’ve found that only the smell differs from the green one. It’s lightweight, doesn’t weigh my hair down, and a little goes a long way. The consistency is neither runny nor thick. It smells like cocoa butter and has a light brownish color, as cocoa butter one of the main ingredients. 



The only thing I don’t like about it is the smell. I find the cocoa butter smell too strong to my taste… just a personal preference (some people like strong-smelling hair products). It doesn't control my frizz nor does it smooth my hair, but it does nourish and softens my hair when I use it on my moisturizing and sealing session.

All in all, I would repurchase if I ran out of it. And I'm looking forward to experiment with the other products of that line to (hopefully) enjoy the smoothing and frizz-free benefits.

WASH DAY WITH NEW PRODUCTS - featuring Creme of Nature and Cantu

Image
A few weeks ago I posted this picture on Twitter , Instagram , and Facebook . Three of these products were used for the first time. There was one particular product for which I had high expectations, but I'll share my opinions about all three of them below: CANTU SHEA BUTTER MOISTURIZING CREAM SHAMPOO.- This shampoo is great for clarifying as it contains both SLS' and Cocamidopropyl Betaine. If I would compare it to a familiar shampoo it would be ORS's Cream Aloe Shampoo, meaning I could reach out for this shampoo if I ran out of ORS'. Its creamy consistency distributes evenly throughout my hair and easily gets rid of my dandruff. But it seems to leave me with tangled hair after each use. I'm still unsure about this product but it smells really good, it's not overpowering. CREME OF NATURE ARGAN OIL INTENSIVE CONDITIONING TREATMENT.- It's a great product ! I was indeed surprised at how soft this product left my hair after deep conditioning, and i...

2019 YEAR-END REFLECTIONS

Image
So after many months since my last post back in May, I decided to check my stats tonight. After 5 years of existence, 66 posts (this one will make 67), JenMajBeauty.com has gathered 10073 views. I was quite surprised actually, considering the many life circumstances I had to navigate through to reach that number. I didn't expect it at all. I've been inconsistent with creating new content, and not very active on my social media pages either... which makes me more grateful for anyone who stumbled upon my blog and read my content. I'm proud of all my achievements throughout my hair journey. I may post some pictures and some haircare update soon. This hair journey is everything. It taught me a lot about myself, and about plans and goals. It inspired me to take better care of my skin, my health, and other areas of my life. My hair journey was the beginning of my self-love journey. Writing is something I've always loved doing. It's my creative outl...
