The May 2013 Curlbox contents were:
Motions - Radiating gloss (approx $6.49 at walgreens)
Carols Daughter - Repairing Monoi Mask - 2 oz (guesstimating approx $8)
Lustrasilk - Curl Max Deep Penetrating Conditioner and (approx $6)
creme of nature - conditioner and shampoo samples (guesstimating approx $3)
I wanted to try to incorporate the May 2013 curlbox ingredients into today's wash day using my new regimen. So, I was at Target today and I found this Shea Moisture Co-Wash Conditioning Cleanser on clearance. $8.99 when its normally $11.99. (they had a few other shea moisture products on clearance too - but I was already over budget after throwing the Alba Botanica shampoo/conditioner in my cart) So I used this to Co-wash my hair.
I believe that both of the conditioners that we received this month were protein, but i'm not 100% sure. So after co-washing my hair, I then put the Lustrasilk Deep penetrating conditioner on my hair. Like I said, I believed it to be a protein conditioner because of some of the ingredients (Amino acids, Keratin etc.), but protein conditioners normally make my hair hard, and this one didnt. (maybe its a light protein?) So just in case it was a protein, I followed up with my favorite moisturizing deep conditioner - Elasta QP Soy Oyl. While deep conditioning, I decided to watch a few youtube videos and decided that I would try to 2-strand twist with curlers my 9 months transitioning hair. I followed the rest of my regimen and then began to try to style it.
I am NOT anywhere blessed in the hair styling department, but I figured I need to at least start TRYING to be able to do something with my hair. But best believe, if its not looking right before church tomorrow, I am armed with my oh so cute wig.
When I take my 2 strand twists down tomorrow, I will use a lil bit of the Motions radiating gloss. I'm not optimistic that it will look cute, knowing my abilities, but they say practice makes perfect, and so does a good wig lol.
Did you get a curl box? Are you feeling the price increase to $25? I'm guesstimating the products to be about $23-25 worth, so I think with shipping we got our moneys worth.... whatdaya think?
Feel free to comment guys!
