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...

LESSONS I'VE LEARNED DURING MY 4 MONTHS' HIATUS

Image
So, I've stopped posting on all my social network account and my blog since that last post in January . It's not that I didn't have any content. But there were two major things that were in the way. One of them was I couldn't take quality pictures with my phone. I don't want to deal with copyright issues so I prefer taking my own pictures. But no application could make my pictures less blurry. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Pictures can make or break a post. I've recently ordered a new phone so I will be writing and taking pictures of all these products and DIYs I've been experimenting with for the past 4 months. The other thing that was standing in the way was a lot of psychological harassment, to the point where some of my properties were destroyed. That's when I started posting only one blog post per month until I eventually stopped in January. The institutions I reached out to didn't do anything. It was quite t...

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...
