Influenster Christmas Voxbox Addition

So I have been waiting forever to get an Influenster voxbox!!!!!

I've been with them since the beginning of this year I believe or in the middle of 2011, anywhoooo, I been with it so long, that they had made changes to the website. Which I really do love the changes. I got use to the old version , so the new changes was suprising, but overall I still like the changes it's more vibrant, colorful, easy to navigate and you get to see other reviews on products you might be interested in or to see if others have the same interests as you. You get to discover also what is new on the market, or something you never tried before. Well I got my christmas voxbox on christmas eve which was exciting and nice since it was my very first one.

So here is what came in my Christmas Voxbox:

Goody's Quikstyle Brush- asorbent microfiber  bristles, antimicrobial microfiber, helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, reduces water by 30% to dry quicker

Overall, I love my voxbox!  I would love to do future reviews for it.  Thanks Influenster , Hears to a New Year. :)

Winter Protective Styling (continued)

This is the style I am wearing as a protective style and this is some pictures of how my hair was in-between protective styling. I believe my hair has flourish since protective styling.

I will have to tweak and start over in the New Year what I will incorporate in my hair journey.

I would love to get back to henna treatments or coconut treatments for the following year as they would be my main thing for balancing moisture/or protein. As for washing , I bought the Entwine Duo Set Because I really like their products so I decided to go for the set. I said it couldn't hurt to try so why not. I only used these products twice as they are still fairly new. The first time I washed I used both products, considering how dirty my hair really was. I love it! So far The shampoo is really cleansing and leaves the hair soft and easy to go through. It doesn't sud up as most shampoos do and it is sulfate free. As for the conditioner I love it! It does condition and moisturize the hair. It also pops my curl pattern when I wash. :) The only thing I could say is after you wash, you do need to seal the hair to keep in the moisture. This is where the Entwine Hydratoring Butter would come in. But do the lost I incorporate the shea moisture for sealing. Which works just as fine. Overall I like how everything is coming so far. I am really a co-washing type person , but since I love Entwine so much, I had to put my trust and get it. Will I ever go back to AVC rinsing??? Yes. I believe I will switch my routine if necessary, maybe for the spring/summer and use only the conditioner and when, I do (protective styling incorporate these products). As for what is to come in the following year, I will discuss further on deep treatments.... incorporating a solid regimen, or will I still submit to inner mini -pjism...LOL Happy Hair Journey!

Winter Protective Styling

It has been awhile since I have posted on my blog. I have been through a lot so I couldn't post what I have been doing currently at the moment. I have been displaced as a Hurricane Sandy Victim. So as much as I wanted to say what I've been upto I just didn't have the chance. So , I am sorry if you have been wondering what is up , or if I am going to do any new blog posts. I lost a few products from my Journey, and was lucky to even save some, or get some from volunteers. I did spent a little money when I could to get a few items to incorporate at the time of the incident since I was displaced and couldn't do what I mostly do in the comfort of my own environment. So, just to get into it, this is what I have been doing protective styling I started after being displaced by the storm. I was lucky enough to save my shampoo and conditioner I recently bought. Not so lucky to save the cream set though except for one item, which is my argon oil. I washed with what I have which is what I will show you in a few. I braided my hair and installed my vanessa hair clips in. This has been working lovely for since that time. So overall I have been protective styling from the middle of october until now which is december. I would like to continue this in the beginning of next year until early march spring. I did leave my hair out for two days before I installed the hair again. I also make sure I moisture/seal the hair in-between taking down and washing.

Here are things I used and pictures will be posted (see side pictures)

Shea Moisture Original Version ( I really like this product not too bad/replacement because I lost what I normally use) Mane N Tale Detangler ...I use this on the weave to keep it smooth but it is also good for your natural hair to detangle and smooth and keep the hair moisturize also. Shampoo and Conditioner- Entwine Duo- Already bought love the way it washes my hair makes it nice and soft feels moisturized when wet. My Argan Oil. I had a Entwine Set but sadly that got washed up so I had to throw it out :( My Hydrator cream is what I use and normally love, to do my hair styles and moisturize my hair. As for the creme styler jelle I wasn't too fond of it makes the hair defined but hard and crunchy, the cream de mold for edges was cool something that could last long but doesn't hard tighten little side hairs that tend to stick out. But it something good to use to touch up your edges. I also bought some clips and goody combs to help with future styles in the future.
