5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ROLLERSET YOUR HAIR

On Top: Goody Mosaic magnetic rollers; to the left: sizes from 3/4" to 2"; to the right: size 2-3/4" bought separately. I bought 6 of them

Most of the time, I can't see myself not setting my hair on rollers after washing my hair. I'll regret it throughout the week by having rough hair. It's also the only time throughout the week that my hair will be thoroughly detangled. And I personally don't like the frizzy look. My hair needs to be stretched, looks sleek and feels soft. Here are 5 reasons why I love setting my hair on rollers (and why you should too):

1) I love rollersets because my hair is stretched without the use of direct heat, especially when I'm due for a relaxer touch-up. Then I can easily see where my new growth stops and where my relaxed hair begins in order to avoid overlapping during the touch-up process. If I am stretching my relaxer, setting my hair on rollers is safer than blow-drying and flat-ironing it as less tension is applied on the line of demarcation; detangling becomes more meticulous but breakage is limited.

2) With stretched hair, it becomes more manageable to style your hair as you wish. Whether you want to wrap or curl it, you're able to do so without adding unnecessary tension or stress to your hair and scalp.

3) The hair looks thicker and fuller than blow-dried hair that is flat-ironed afterward. This was pointed out to me by a hairstylist years ago before I started my hair journey. Constant blow drying and flat ironing thin the hair, resulting in heat damage. And no one wants lifeless, limp looking hair!

4) It's a good way to track your hair growth if you're left with the impression that your hair is not growing. If you're impatient and anxious like I am to see more hair growth, but your hair is not long enough to be measured with a hair length check t-shirt, having to switch to bigger rollers once or twice a year will be very satisfying.

April 2017 - by then I was using the 2-3/4" rollers in some part in the front and the middle of my head

5) It's a great way to avoid knots and tangles since you have to detangle the hair in very small sections before setting it on rollers.

So that's it, my 5 reasons why I set my hair in rollers. If you love rollersets as much as I do, let me know!

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...
