I like it when I go to my favorite drugstores, I find the sample sizes of products that I either have tried before or that I'd like to try. So one can imagine my excitement when I found the sample size of this shampoo during a random visit to my local drugstore. I've always wanted to try this brand and have had great experiences with their hair oil before. So I picked it up without second thoughts.

Excitement continues to build until that wash day when I got to use it. Because of the opaque packaging, one can't really see the color of the shampoo. I was expecting a clear or white/off-white color when pouring the shampoo on my hand, but a yellowish/gold colored shampoo came out instead. I liked the fact that the color of the shampoo matches the color of the cap and the gold in OGX's logo...


Anyway... I like the fact that the perfume is not strong. The consistency is in the middle, not too runny and not too thick either. I always do my pre-shampoo treatment before using this shampoo with Aloe Vera Juice and my oil mix. It lathers well but not too much. After I rinse it out, my hair is clean and shines like never before!

Will I continue to use this shampoo, though? Unfortunately, no. Here is why:

1) For some reason, I can't commit to just one shampoo... I'm still looking for that perfect and healthiest moisturizing shampoo for my hair.

2) Because I've had experience with sulfate free shampoos in the past which I did not review on this blog. They tend to make my hair dry because of the sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate ingredient, which apparently makes the hair as dry or even drier than when using SLS. So I don't want to risk drying out my hair. But some other hair types have benefited and/or will continue to benefit from this product.

In the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy the softness and shine this shampoo provides until I find my perfect moisturizing shampoo match.

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...
