Smooth Infusion Style Prep Smoother:

I do not brush my hair often. In fact, I often joke that I brush GG’s hair more frequently than my own! It’s totally my fault, but as a result, it’s tangly after I wash it. The style prep smoother not only prevents fly aways, but it untangles my hair before I dry it.

Phomollient Styling Foam:

This is my favorite product thus far. I have fine hair, and it takes a lot to produce volume. I am not a “teaser” so this is the next best thing. I can literally see my roots lift after running the rolling brush through my hair just once. Total game changer!

Smooth Infusion Nourishing Style Cream

The style cream works wonders in conjunction with the prep smoother. Fortunately the humidity is very minimal in San Francisco, so I do not need a dual shield on the reg. When I visit friends and family in Louisiana you can bet this item will come along with me!

Air Control Hair Spray:

I am a girly girl at heart – I play with my hair all the time. I do not like that crusty or stiff hair feeling that so many hairsprays leave you with. The air control hair spray is light yet effective. I use it when I curl my hair first thing in the morning and know I won’t have time for a fixer upper. Yay for bouncy curls all day long!

Thickening Tonic:

The thickening tonic would be great solution for folks with thin hair. I have fine strands, but a lot of ’em! While this might sound like a lot of steps and product to get a shiny mane, please note you do not have to use them all together to achieve desired results.All in all, I give the Aveda Essentials package two thumbs up!

This summer, you can shop all of your favorite Birchbox goods, build your own box and call dibs on an exclusive 3-month subscription at the one and only Gap! They have teamed up to hopefully become your one stop shop this summer for basic apparel and beauty goods. If you’re anywhere near San Franciso, Los Angelas, Houston, Chicago, or New York, then you are in luck – unfortunately this sweet deal is only available in select cities.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the launch party at Gap’s San Fran flagship store on Market Street. It was a great event complete with champagne, appetizers and a DJ mixing up tunes. Many industry leaders, including event host Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam, were there networking while consumers and fans waited in line for beauty makeovers and to get the scoop on the latest and greatest products. It really is convenient that you can peruse an assortment of hair products, skin care essentials, makeup and fragrances all in one place. Subscribe to your first Birchbox here!

The Angel Wash shampoo is great for color treated hair. It lathers up like no other on the market. You can get away with using a dime-size dollop per wash. It will leave your hair feeling and looking silky smooth.

The Hydrate Me Rinse conditioner is the split end eraser. While some hydrating treatments weigh down your hair, leaving it flat and greasy, this product provides added moisture without the weight or grease. If your hair tangles in the shower, you won’t have to worry about that anymore. Easily run your hands through your luscious locks after the first use.

If primping your hair requires a blow dryer or curling iron, then add Super Goo molding gel into the mix. This product works like Moroccan oil or Chi finishing products, minus the oil. After styling your mane, rub your hands with a pea-size amount and comb it through to alleviate frizz. Notice some added shine without bulk or oil. Did I mention Super Goo is great for men too?!
