Over the past year, Julie has made a complete switch to MJ products for her long, curly hair. She shares with us the details of her routine, which not only gives her beautiful curls, but has also seen the appearance of her hair greatly improve.
Discover Julie’s story and the details of her hair routine:
"For a while now, I've been wanting to offer you a live broadcast about my complete transition to MJ products for curly hair. In fact, I threw away or gave away all my cosmetic products and now only use MJ products for face, body, and hair. I use just about all the products for my internal health too (proteins, supplements, etc.).
Why the interest in curly hair? Only curly-haired girls can understand the complexity of having beautiful curls and the need to use all kinds of products to achieve them!
To begin with, I can simply write to you that I never thought I would be able to stop using my salon styling product that followed me everywhere to have a beautiful head (a product that was not at all natural, that I wanted to eliminate for a long time and I tried several natural products). Here is my long and curly hair ritual:
Baby Soft Shampoo and Conditioner : What an amazing conditioner! It's made a huge difference in my hair routine. I actually have four shampoos and two conditioners. For a while, I've chosen to prioritize a safe bet for my hair type, namely Baby Soft, for these first two steps. However, I like to do my first shampoo with L'Exaltant.
Initially and for quite a while, I had what seemed to be dandruff, probably residue from my old products. In my first shampoo, I put a drop of Palmarosa essential oil and occasionally Oxypur as a pre-wash. Now, dandruff is a thing of the past.
Once my hair is washed, I put on my conditioner, then I brush my head upside down with a detangling brush and rinse, still upside down. I wring out my hair with my hands, brush it again and add in order a mixture of the Enhancer and the Aloe Gel (I saw a big difference by adding the Enhancer), then a mixture of Moringa Oil and the Hair Repair Balm . I then wrap my head in a microfiber hair towel and continue my shower (MJ shower gel of course).
Depending on hair type, I think some people could possibly stop here and have gorgeous hair by removing the towel or skip straight to the last steps. My hair gets crazy pretty easily, so I prefer to add some steps.
By removing the towel, depending on the time I have, I can let my hair dry a little (always in the open air, no dryer) and then style my curls according to their needs. As I often lack time, I immediately continue with another of my tips. I like to make a kind of styling cream with La Soyeuse , Hair Repair Balm , Aloe Gel and I have gotten into the habit of adding a little Hydra Teint .
It all seems like a lot, but I only use a tiny amount of each product. I finish it all off with either Bouclettes or Eau teint (or sometimes even both). I couldn't live without Eau teint, one of my favorites for both my face and hair (I have to say here that I have several favorites, you should see my shelves and my big storage cupboard). If necessary, I would say that it's great for humid days, I add a drop of Glycerin to my hair. It's just perfect.
I admit that's a lot of products, and not everyone can necessarily afford them. I think there's a way to do a similar routine by reducing the variety of products. Also, now that my hair is healthy, I'm thinking I could do some tests by removing certain steps.
So far, it's been a winning formula for me. It's hard to say what really made the difference for my unruly hair, but one thing is certain: I never thought I'd be able to stop using my salon-quality styling product, which I used to take everywhere with me to get a beautiful head of hair without too much frizz.
In my process, I made a transition by starting with shampoo and trying to reduce the use of my store-bought styling product. I then combined my natural curl cream that I had with MJ products to finally use only MJ products. I am satisfied and super happy with this complete change.
I also made this change with all of my skin, body, and face products. At the beginning of 2022, my hair was dry and really overdue for a cut. I was surprised myself, after some time of using 100% of MJ products, to realize that my hair had recovered and looked healthier… without the haircut that had previously become a necessity. Since then, I still haven't been to the hair salon and my hair is doing very well. Still impressive!
Oh yes! I also take the Hair Cocktail and Silica and many other supplements, I'm addicted on all levels! - Julie
