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

This product review is way overdue as I've been using these products for quite some time now. I purchased this set after Tresemme Naturals was discontinued. I was looking for products that contain similar ingredients (aloe vera and avocado oil), and with similar consistency. Both shampoo and conditioner contain avocado oil which is one of the featured ingredients, and aloe leaf juice is also in the ingredients' list. This was the reason why I purchased this set first before buying the Tresemme Botanique Nourish & Replenish.

They were both on sale at Pharmaprix (Shoppers Drugmart) for $4.99 at the time of purchase. I usually don't care for conditioners as I find them unnecessary to my hair care routine since I deep condition weekly, so I feel the extra manipulation is not needed. Nonetheless, I wanted to know what the consistency was like and how well the products work together.

Garnier Whole Blends Nourishing Shampoo
I was surprised to see how runny this shampoo was! For some reason, I expected its color to be white. So I was a bit shocked to see that it was yellow. Although it contains both laureth and lauryl sulfates, the shampoo is very moisturizing and I don't need to shampoo twice to have clean scalp and hair. It doesn't strip my hair either.

Directions: Massage into wet hair, lather & rinse thoroughly. Follow with our Nourishing Conditioner. For extra care, indulge in our Nourishing mask treatment.


Ingredients: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Cocamide Mea, Glycol Distearate, Sodium Chloride, Cl 15985, Cl 19140, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Tocopherol, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Hydroxide, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Salicylic Acid, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Dimethicone, Fumaric Acid, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Salicylate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Carbomer, Persea Gratissima Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract, Citric Acid, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hexyl Cinnamal, Glycerin, Parfum.


Garnier Whole Blends Nourishing Conditioner


The conditioner is a great complement to the shampoo as it smooths and softens the hair, so much so that I could detangle my hair with this conditioner if I wanted to! It has a creamier consistency than the shampoo, it's not runny and it's also yellow. It can be used as a pre-shampoo treatment or a co-wash as it provides good slip. I can smell the shea butter more in the conditioner than the shampoo.

Directions: After shampooing, apply a generous amount of conditioner to hair from root to tip. Gently work through hair, then rinse. For extra care, indulge in our Nourishing mask treatment.

Ingredients: Aqua / Water / Eau, Cetearyl Alcohol, Amodimethicone, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Behentrimonium Chloride, CI 19140, CI 15985, Tocopherol, Hydroxypropyl Guar, Phenoxyethanol, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Trideceth-6, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Benzoic Acid, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Salicylate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Dipropylene Glycol, Persea Gratissima Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Potassium Hydroxide, Cetrimonium Chloride, Citric Acid, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hexyl Cinnamal, Glycerin, Parfum.
Will I repurchase?

I'm all for hair products that nourish, moisturize, smooth, and soften my hair, and I believe this line of shampoo and conditioner really delivers on their claims. But the smell is too strong for my taste. It's very perfumy. That would be the only reason why I wouldn't repurchase. Other than that, those are great products for moisture.

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...
