A witch ball is a type of glass ornament that is traditionally believed to protect a household from evil spirits, witches, and negative energy. It has a fascinating history and can be placed in various locations to serve its purpose. The main idea is that a witch ball can be placed in different areas of a house or garden to ward off negative energies and protect the space. In the past, witch balls were commonly hung in windows or doorways to prevent evil spirits from entering the house. The glass sphere was believed to trap the negative energy and prevent it from spreading inside. Today, witch balls are often used as decorative ornaments and can be placed in different areas of a house or garden.
Some of the benefits are generic, IMHO, like detangles, softens, nourishes, shines etc. but the ones that I’m most interested in are frizz reduction, thermal protection and UV protection. Using eva•nyc Mane Magic coupled with my favorite JOICO K-PAK Lustre Lock Treatment makes my hair very smooth, shiny and frizz-free for at least a couple of days to as many as 5 days unless the weather is very humid, and then, nothing helps me! My hair doesn’t feel fried from my flat iron that I use at the highest heat. And UV protection? I think it would do a better job at UV protection if I used it more often than once every 3-5 days, lol.
The Mane Magic 10-in-1 Split End Mender instantly repairs split ends all hair types while nourishing, for hair that s clinically proven to be 3x stronger.

Today, witch balls are often used as decorative ornaments and can be placed in different areas of a house or garden. They can be hung from trees in the garden to protect the outdoor space, or placed near windows and doors to prevent negative energies from entering the home. The primary purpose of a witch ball is to enhance the positive energy in the surrounding area and create a protective barrier against negative influences.
eva•nyc Mane Magic 10-in-1 Hair Primer Giveaway
Subscription boxes and gifts from Influenster have been useful trial services for me. I actually have purchased quite a few full sizes of the samples that I have received. Yesterday’s post on the Luxie Rose Gold Kabuki Brush Set was a case in point. And today, here’s another one.
A couple of months ago, I received travel size versions of eva•nyc haircare products – Clean It Up Shampoo and Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer – in my Influenster Vacay Vox Box, and I fell in love with them because of the yummy lavender vanilla scent and because they both work well for my thick, coarse hair.
I still have some of the shampoo left, but I used up the Mane Magic travel size sample. Just as I finished it, Costco decided to have a 2-for-1 promotion. How handy!
Prior to getting the Mane Magic sample, I had been using It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner for more than a year. In fact, I bought the jumbo size at Ulta a few months ago when they had a 20% off sale. I really liked it, but I don’t know if it is the pump in the jumbo size, but it started shooting out too much serum onto my hair especially near my part. Combing it through or brushing it through didn’t seem to make a difference. It left a clump of serum there that made my hair feel dirty. So disappointing.
When eva•nyc Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer came along, I was eager to try it. As I said, the lavender vanilla scent really got me. I know that not everyone likes lavender scent, but the vanilla mixed with lavender absolutely transforms it. I love how my hair smells after I use this leave-in hair primer! The other thing I like about Mane Magic is that the serum itself is not as heavy and gloppy as It’s A 10, so when I spray it on, it’s a finer spray and a lighter weight serum. So far, so good. No dirty hair feeling.
Mane Magic is infused with Argan Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil to give hair a healthy dose of vitamins and nutrients. Mane Magic is vegan. It’s safe for color, keratin, and Brazilian treated hair. Free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, sodium chloride, and artificial colors.
Like It’s A 10, Mane Magic 10-in-1 promises a lot of hair benefits:
- detangles
- reduces frizz
- strengthens hair
- softens
- cuts drying time
- adds shine
- nourishes
- smooths
- provides thermal protection
- provides UV protection.

Some people also believe that placing a witch ball near a mirror can amplify its protective abilities, as mirrors are believed to reflect and bounce back negative energy. Overall, the placement of a witch ball is a personal choice, but it is recommended to position it in an area where it can be seen and admired, while also serving its purpose of protecting the space from negative energies..
