My Hair Wash Routine & Product Choice

I started with my usual hair wash routine, using the Garnier Whole Blends Replenishing Shampoo and Conditioner. This line features olive leaf extracts and olive oil, which I was excited to try as a change from my regular Pantene.

I typically prefer to stick with one brand for consistency, but I was intrigued by the smoothing properties promised by the Garnier line. I've been a long-time Pantene user, but I felt ready to experiment.

Application & Leave-In Conditioner Experience

After towel-drying my hair, I applied the Garnier Fructis One Minute Hair Mask as a leave-in conditioner. I prefer applying leave-in products to damp hair.

The product has a creamy consistency, similar to a regular conditioner. I started by applying a small amount to my fingertips and palms, focusing on the ends of my hair first, which tend to be the most damaged.

I then worked the product upwards towards the roots using a wide-tooth comb to avoid breakage. I found the product easy to distribute and it left my hair feeling soft and moisturized.

Additional Hair Care Tips

I typically avoid blow-drying my hair or using a regular brush on wet hair, as this can cause damage. Instead, I pat my hair dry gently and use a wide-tooth comb for detangling.

I also use argan oil and coconut oil as additional hair treatments. While not discussed in detail here, I plan to cover these products in a separate video.

Remember to always use a comb on wet hair to prevent split ends, and start combing from the ends and work your way up.
