12 Days of Christmas

Black Friday

Product Spotlight: Moroccan Argan Oil

I often get asked what  I use in my hair and/or asked advice on the do's and don'ts of what to use on your hair extensions. My advice is pretty standard no matter the texture, length, curl patterns etc. Generally I advise to stay away from oils, because of their tendency to weigh down the hair. But there are always exceptions to the rules. I was in Sally's one day buying Caruso Steam Rollers (another post for another day) and on the phone simultaneously with my friend, who was so excited about me being in Sally's and about this product she recently purchased that she wanted me to try....Moroccan Argan oil. Well I had recently read really good things about Moroccan oil on a few natural hair blogs and wanted to try it but hadn't ordered it yet, so it wasn't really a hard sell. Anywho I buy the oil, take it home and try it out.....um yeah....IN LOVE. Let me tell you, the oil feels a little thick when you put it in your hands, but when you rub your hands together it's really thins out and feels a little silky. When you put it on your hair, your hair immediately absorbs it. There is no oily residue, no greasy look, no stringy oily mess....good stuff right. Reading the back of the bottle that is exactly what it promises, it creates a natural looking sheen on your hair. Its so light that you can put a little on daily if you so desired. The best thing it is all natural, derived from Mother Nature herself, the oil is from the Argan Tree native to Morocco. The price isn't too bad....right around $10 but you get a good size bottle and a few drops go a long way. It also works really well on skin and has a mild, sweet, nutty smell. And I almost forgot to mention how soft my natural hair and my hair extensions are after using it....Loves it!  Try it out let me know what you think.

Color me Beautiful!

I posted a few months ago about getting a closure and color...well I never installed a closure but I did take the plunge  into a little color. I wanted to go as light as I could without changing my base color and without looking like a skunk with dark hair and blond highlights. So I went to visit my stylist and she hooked me up with a fabulous new install of Virgin Indian Rem Kinky Deep Curly It took me a day or so to really feel it, but now I think I am in love.

What's funny is, I had a similar color yearsssss ago but this time I like it a lot more, the highlights are thinner and aren't as orange as my previous highlights. Anywho while I was getting my hair highlighted I was all up in the products she was using so I could dish to those home hair scientists that may want to try to highlight their own hair. NOTE: Try at your OWN RISK!!!....I am not a stylist and do not advise you to do so but hey if you are a do-it-yourself type of girl.....here is what I spied.

My stylist used ION Color Brilliance powder lightener and ION Sensitive Scalp 20 volume developer which you can get at Sally's Beauty Supply. I don't know the ratio but she pretty much mixed it in the bowl, applied to sections of hair with a color brush, foiled and sat me under the dryer for a few minutes. AGAIN...NOTE...these are not exact directions so you may need to investigate a little further before trying at home.

But here are the final results.

Specs: HairAddictOnline.com 14-16 inch and 18-20 inch Virgin Indian Remy Kinky Deep Curly (flat ironed and curled) , layered

Transitioning with Weave

I decided a few years ago to transition my hair from relax to natural. I started by stretching my relaxers and then finally decided to stop relaxing altogether. However I never had the desire to do a big chop and/or rock a mini afro, and while that is a beautiful option for many it was never the option I wanted to take for myself. When I started wearing a weave back to back for a year, my hair really started to grow and get thicker and through using weaves as a style to protect my natural hair it has really thrived. My next install is schedule for next week and I will finally trim off the last bit (less than a half of inch) of relaxed tips. My hair is thicker, fuller and healthier than it was when I was relaxing and before I started wearing weaves.  Here are some tips to growing your hair and or transitioning to natural hair using a weave.

1) Keep a healthy scalp - regular washing
2) Keep your natural hair moisturized under your weave
3) Give your hair a break in between installs, at least a week or so
4) Keep trimming back relaxed ends
5) Choose styles that will minimize heat on your leave out or use closure or full weaves to transition
6) Make sure you stylist does not braid your hair too tight and be careful of the tension on your natural hair

7) HAVE FUN, try different styles, curl and wave patterns!

Me and my BFF in all our natural glory!

Blame it on the Alcohol......

It is amazing to me how so many products on the market claim to  miracle....wonder working hair transforming products but when you peel the layers, well actually dissect the ingredients of the product, you will often find that they are damaging your hair. The biggest misconception is that only cheap products have these tress devastating ingredients and that is simply not true.

I have received emails from customers asking for recommendations for products or stating that they have used XYZ (higher end) product and their curls seem to be dry. When asking them about the ingredients, or when I look up the products and its ingredients...its generally the same culprit.....ALCOHOL.


This group includes Lauryl alcohol, Cetyl alcohol, Myristyl alcohol, Stearyl alcohol, Cetearyl alcohol and Behenyl alcohol.


Alcohol in different forms are used in a number of hair products, but in certain forms the ingredient can be  extremely drying, stripping it of moisture and because of this, alcohol can lessen the lifespan of your hair extensions; leaving them dull and lifeless. 

To keep it simple, here are some tips on what to avoid when shopping for your curl popping products:

When shopping for mousse and gels and curl enhancing products, try to stay away from products that contain these certain types of alcohol: ethanol, SD alcohol, SD alcohol 40, Alcohol denat, Propanol, Propyl alcohol and Isopropyl alcohol.


So now that you know you can no longer blame it on the alcohol.

Hair Addict Quick Fix: The Leak

There is this joke with my friend that I overuse the word love, but I seriously for the most part since starting Hair Addict I have loved almost every install I have had. I admit there was a little reservation when I first installed the Signature Texture curly but after I learned how to tame it, it was all love. Well my newest style is no exception.....I am in love, not puppy love but in Color Purple "me and you will never part" love.

Surprisingly it has less to do with the hair texture or the style but with the functionality of it. It is the perfect marriage of having a full install but having 100% accessibility to my scalp. Now I don't want to give away too much information because I want you to wait until I do a little more testing, a little more research and well....until the release. But here are the pictures of me and my new: Quick Fix: My "less than 1 minute and 8 second install."

The texture is Malaysian Remy Relaxed Bodywave....the length was looooong.....it hit at my lower back which ended up being too long for me...so what did I do?

After about a month at the longer length I cut it.  I am in Texas and the heat has been blazing, we are talking about 100 degrees plus every day and with this hair, I felt like I was adding an extra 10 degrees, so I asked my stylist to take off a few inches and well....she went Edward Scissor hands on me and took off more than I wanted but fortunately I fell in love with the cut.

As much as I am in love with it I am going to take it "off" and try another texture "on" and will be reporting real soon with more details!

Final review: Tancho Stick

I did a post on the Tancho stick a loooong time ago, back in November (this review is so overdue). Anywho I finally got some in my hand thanks to my friend who ordered an extra stick for little ole me:). I have been using it for about a month now and I have to say I am a little undecided how I feel about it. So I am going to give you the pros and cons and you can decide if you want to try it.

Pros:
-   I like the fact that the product is not greasy and does a good job of laying down my edges when edges are straight.
 - I like the packaging because I rub the stick directly on my edges so its really easy and non-messy.
-  It also lasts all day, after the hair has been brushed and tied down and
-  It isn't hard and the next day so you can add more if needed it without it being flaky or showing buildup.

Cons:

 - The SCENT....the lavender scent it really strong. It kind of smells like Blue Magic hair grease in a very overpowering scent kind of way.
-  The stick in my opinion does not work on my edges if my edges are not straight first. It does nothing f- or my kinks.
-  It can be a little waxy so you have to wash really good to wash it completely out of your hair.

Clarification Please.....

Yes that is what I was asking when I first learned about clarifying shampoo. Where had I been? All these years of washing my hair, I had never heard of clarifying shampoo. Actually all these years of washing my hair, I still subscribed to the notion that there were two types of products, those for "us" and those for "them" and if it wasn't in "our" section I wasn't using it. Well fast forward to a few years ago, searching the Internet for hair regimens to transition from relaxers, I learned about the importance of using clarifying shampoo to remove buildup from shampoos (how ironic right), conditioners and daily styling products. Imagine having a clean slate; that is what clarifying does for your hair. It allows your hair to be completely clean which in turns allow your conditioners to penetrate the hair shaft better and gives your hair a lightness and softness due to not being weighed down by product build-up.  With that being said, the same goes for your hair extensions. Many times, especially when you first receive the hair, the best thing you can do is clarify. This will ensure that the hair is clean of any residue thus giving you a clean slate to work with (it is always recommended you follow up with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to restore moisture). 
There are many clarifying shampoos on the market but as you know if you keep up with the blog, I am all about brands that are easy on the pocket but are effective......hence....my pick for a clarifying shampoo.

SUAVE DAILY CLARIFYING SHAMPOO - affordable, gentle, and easily accessible. You can find it at your local WalMart or Target.

* I don't recommend you clarify every time you wash your hair extensions, if you decide to do so, be sure to dilute with water to ensure you don't prematurely dry out your hair, and always follow up with a good conditioner.

More Curls for your Cash: Product Spotlight

There are a million (well maybe not a million) products on the shelves and sometimes it is hard to find that "one" product that will be worth your hard earned dollars. Well I have found one that is. Second to the Dove Intensive Repair, Tresemme Flawless Curls has become one of my favorite conditioners for most of my curly textures. I generally use it to co-wash before I shampoo, and then follow-up after shampoo as a rinsing conditioner. I find that it makes the hair incredibly soft and frizz free; not to mention the fact that the cost is under $6 for 32 oz. of pure curly conditioning goodness. You can't beat it!

Hot Hair for Hot Weather: Movie Inspired Edition

I just got back from seeing Tyler Perry's new movie "Why Did I Get Married Too" and even though I read negative reviews prior to seeing the movie, I wanted to support it, all in all I thought it was pretty decent. The movie was filled with star power but of course I couldn't help but pay attention to the hair. The movie was filmed partially in the Bahamas and the vacation hair was full in effect. In honor of Spring Break, the approach of summer and the hair fabulousness in Why Did I Get Married Too, I wanted to highlight some great summer styles. Styles that are easy breezy and perfect for the beach, pool and all the aqua fabulousness that is synonymous with warm weather and summer sunshine.

Tight Curl:
In the movie Janet rocked a style we have seen on her before, a tight natural looking curl pattern. This is a great style for the summer because its pretty much wash and go, shampoo & condition, comb through a little product, air dry and you are ready to roll.

HairAddict Dupe: Well I can't say we have the exact match but as I watched the movie I was thinking that our signature curl (coming soon...slated for 04/15/10....if all goes well) would give a similar look. Remember here? Here is another pic I think gives a better resemblance to Janet's hair in the movie.

And yet another pic of the same hair.....styled (cushion brush, curls separated for more definition at the tips of the hair).

Virgin Indian curly and Deep Curly
Tasha Smith and Jill Scott both appeared to me to be wearing some type of virgin Indian curly. Again, I am not saying that our Virgin Indian curly will give you the exact look but for a similar look depending on the length you want, the Virgin Indian Curly or Virgin Deep curly (for longer length styles) will give you a Bahamas vacation ready look. Here is a pic I was able to dig up of Tasha Smith's character's vacation hair.

Hair Addict Virgin Curly

Amongst these curly beauties, other textures that are just as fab and fuss free, our Bella Collection Curly or Wavy is absolutely beautiful and versatile for the summer and with an honorable mention Virgin Indian Wavy will have you beach ready. Whatever the texture, one thing is for sure, I am excited about the fabulousness that the warm weather will bring!

The Beauty of Butters

I have this saying "God has given us everything we need". I think this statement is true when it comes to beauty products as well. About a year, well maybe two years ago I was doing research on how I can decrease the number of chemicals I use on my hair, on my skin etc. Now, while I am not a 100% there I try to at least be aware of what is in the products I use. Anywho while reading the ingredients of one of my favorite conditioners, I came across the ingredient Cupuacu butter, which I had never heard of before. Well I decided to look it up since it was suppsedly the moisturizing property in the conditioner. After a little digging I found it, bought it and now I use it on my hair and my skin along with cocoa butter and shea butter......(you see the theme here....yes...butters). What is special about this butter is that it boosts the natural moisture of your hair and skin. Because this particular butter absorbs and hold the moisture in your hair, you don't have to worry about mid day dry out. It is really good with curly hair, I put it in when my hair is dripping wet and let it air dry. My hair dries soft and shiny. Loves it!

If you have never tried natural butters, you are missing out on a world of natural goodness.

To find out more about natural butters and their benefits, you can check out Garden State Naturals ....there may be other places on the net that sale them but this was the site that I found that had alot information regarding the benefits.

Haircare for the Little Ones too!

I won't waste anytime mentioning how it's been forever since the last time I blogged. We have been busy busy busy. Anywho, since I have been wearing the Hair Addict's new signature curl (yes it is still installed and still going strong) I have been pressed to find a product that can tame my edges without giving me the "gel(ed) down" look but with enough hold for my resistant kinks. Well while visiting a friend and doing the girly "primp and chat" in her over sized bathroom, I came across a new product (or at least I think it's new). The product is apart of SoftSheen Carson's children line under the Dark & Lovely Brand, called New Beginnings. This particular product is called Edge Tamer. I like the product because it does a great job of laying down my edges without making it hard or overly shiny. The company's website states that the product is formulated improve the fullness of the edges, I haven't notice any additional fullness around my edges, but I also don't use everyday. I read the ingredients for those who are making the effort to be more conscious about what they put in their hair (and I commend you for that), and the number one ingredient is petroleum. So if that is an ingredient you are trying to avoid, this may not be the product for you.

Going through Changes

Hey Hair Divas,
It's been too long since the last time I have update the blog, terrible...I know.
Over the past couple of weeks, we have been listening intently to your feedback and working to make HairAddictonline.com better. Here are some of the changes we are making.

- Wefts - we have been working since day one to try to make our weft stronger and minimize shedding and it's been a roller coaster, consistency has been key goal with working with our partners. To address this we are working with partners to make sure each weft is double reinforced.

- Bella Brazilan curly - we have heard feedback that the Bella Brazilian curly is not...well as curly as customers expected. We have updated the description of the Bella Brazilian curly and added pictures, so hopefully customers get exactly what you expect. With every purchase we want to meet and exceed your expectations. Here is a picture from my Fotki of the Bella Curly

http://public.fotki.com/hairaddict08/bellabraziliancurly/hairaddictonline.html

-Closures - You have asked and we are working on delivering. We are in the process of having closures made. Availability is slated for the end of March. The first texture available will be Virgin Indian curly.

- New Kinky Indian Texture - You ladies want coarse virgin curly hair...and we have found it. We will be offering two lengths to test the water 16 inch and 18 inch.....expected availablity will be March 21st!

Well ladies, as you see we are busy busy busy, trying to take HairAddictonline.com to the next level and be your first stop for beautiful Virgin & Luxury Hair.

If you are a true hairologist, I mean read forums, watch YouTube videos and read hair blogs and such, you probably have read and or heard a lot about cowashing, (But just in case you are not I will give you the easy breezy definition.) Cowashing is basically washing your hair with conditioner instead of shampoo. What this does is clean your hair in a more gentle and moisturizing manner. Many shampoos on the market today have harsh sulfates and detergents that can strip your hair, causing it to become dry and brittle over time, and whether you wearing your natural hair or hair extensions, that is not a good thing. So instead of using shampoo on a regular basis, many hair-nistas substitute their shampoo for an inexpensive conditioner such as Suave or VO5. Depending on your hair type, hair style or preferences the number of times you co wash changes. Since I have been wearing my curly install, I have been cowashing every other day or every three days. I rotate the conditioner I use depending on what scent I am in the mood for and whether or not I feel my hair needs clarifying (did you know that VO5 has a clarifying conditioner). Doing this routine and following up with a richer moisturizing conditioner keeps my curls moisturized and my leave out soft.

Right now at CVS, VO5 is on sale for $0.77, yes that is $0.77, so for less than a dollar you can try it out and let me know what you think.

**Don't forget to follow your co-wash with your regular conditioning routine.
*** I would not recommend using a volume conditioner for your hair extensions, you do not want the cuticles to swell.

Here are the two I picked up today. (Well i actually purchased a total of 8 bottles).

Product Spotlight

It's a little ironic to be writing this post the eve before Valentine's Day, but what better time to proclaim my love. When I say I was ready to give up on this curly hair, dealing with the dryness and puffiness...all too much for me, I was literally over it. But before doing away with a perfectly good 8 oz. of curly hair and a brand new install I decided to give it one last shot, figuring maybe if I can find a product that can tame it, maybe just maybe we can find the right balance between big and tame. Well y'all, through my search on the Internet I kept coming across recommendations for Cantu Shea butter, more or less for twisting natural hair, and braid outs to give it moisture and definition. Well any who, I figured since I needed something to blend my natural hair and something to try to tame the hair, I would try it out. One beauty supply store run and $6.99 later, I found my new love.

To start I washed my hair, sectioned it off, rub a dime size of Cantu on each section, used my paddle brush to comb through, and let it air dry. When I say the results was something serious....LOL. I finally had curls that were not dry looking, had definition and leave-out that blended, talking about one happy hair addict. The hair was not only looking pretty but it stayed soft to the touch and the Cantu was able to soften and smooth my edges without me having to gel them down. I can't say what kind of hair type this would work best for, but do a search and see what you find, you may find you a new love in time for Valentine's.

PSST.....don't forget our LOVE14 sale is officially over tomorrow..... www.hairaddictonline.com

Spring Preview ....Maybe?

This week starts New York Fashion Week; its the time of year when designers display their preview for the upcoming fashions for the next season. Well I thought it would be fun to do a Hairaddictonline.com preview of sorts. Previewing a texture that may or may not be available come Spring/Summer. I am the test dummy for this texture, and while there is something about it I like, it may be a bit too much hair for me. Let me tell you, this hair is BIG!...LOL
I got it thinned out at the salon, came home and went at it again, and this evening still felt like it was too much and tried my hand at thinning it AGAIN. In my opinion this hair is definitely one bundle hair, 4 oz. maybe 6 oz. if you like it big, but 8 oz.....I feel like I should be on some body's stage performing with 8 oz. of curls on top my head.
I snapped this pic yesterday on my iPhone. I won't bore you with the "please excuse the bad quality pic and no makeup speech" .... here "she" is.


WDYT?
I wore a very similar texture last summer but maybe because the curls were bigger and not so poofy,whatever the case was I really liked it! As my friend would say "that was great hair".
Lawd knows, I am trying my hardest to bring this texture back, it was def one of my favorite, maybe this will serve as a spring preview as well.


Side by side they are very similar, do you think there is big enough of a difference to offer both? Let me know what you think?

To You with Love

Tis the season of hearts, chocolates, flowers and cupid. Well Hair Addict is celebrating you this Valentine's Day with a Sale!



We are discounting all our 14-16 Inch Bundles across all collections!

FEVAH....Giving me Fevah

I have been very much on the fence about what is next for what is going on up top, yes the top of my head. This would be the second week wearing my natural hair and I love it, but I think I want it shorter...I know yesterday I wanted it longer but TODAY I think I want to go shorter. Now for the record I really only have one week to decide and I am toiling. But let me tell you when I came across this picture of Taraji....I was sold, short hair ....it's gonna be. Her bob is giving me all types of fevah...yes it is HOT! So that solves it, I will be weaving me a bob, short and sassy while keeping my growing locks in tact (no. 1 reason I love wearing a weave). So I will be sure to post pics.

We Introduce you to....

I am always so excited when I get new hair in, I guess its the hair addict in me. Each bundle has me day dreaming of what I am going to next with my hair. Side Bar: I am currently wearing my natural hair and as much as it has grown and is thicker and healthier, I am already plotting on my next install.

I figure I will give it another week or two and on the next....

Okay...Back to my post: Well new hair always make me excited and this week has been double the pleasure and double the fun. Our Bella collection is back and I couldn't be more excited, it's beautiful y'all (in my California imitating Texas drawl). Now the only thing that can make me more excited than our Bella being back is our new line.....Virgin Malaysian Remy. Now I don't know if you know this but Malaysian hair was my first "premium" sew-in. So here I am full circle, selling my own line of Malaysian luxury hair. Loves it!

Psst......And its on sale starting off at $59 ...and Bella starting off @ $100.00

What is a post without pics?....

Virgin Malaysian

BELLA...ELLA...ELLA...AYE

2 Minute Hair

If you are like me, I am NOT a morning person, which is one of the reasons I love my 2 minute hair style. When most people get a weave, they always ask me "How do you wrap your hair up at night?" Well too be honest it really depends on where I am going the next day and how I am planning on wearing my hair that day. But more times that not I prepare my hair for bed using my two minute method so when I wake up I only have to spend two minutes on my hair. To do the same thing all you need is few flexirods (I only use two large ones) (pictured below) and a couple of bobby pins (I only use two). The number of both really depends on your desired style. I first part my leaveout or bang in the front and loosely pincurl it laying flat (the tighter you roll it, the tighter your curl will be) one pin curl on each side of my part. This takes care of the entire front of my hair. I then part the back into two section and roll my hair with one flexirod on each side, tie my scarf and I''m done. In the morning, I unroll the flexirods and take out the bobby pins, shake my head up and down to loosen the curls and go. Miraculously it appears like I have a head full of curls and a perfect bang. *Tip: If my curls are too tight, I take a low heat flat iron or curling iron and go over the curl to loosen it up a little bit.

Flexi rods (they come in different colors, I use the purple ones for medium size curls)



Here is a youtube video on flexi rods and pin curling
Flexi Rods (she keeps them in for a few minutes, I sleep in them)



Pincurling


The best thing about both is you are minimizing the amount of heat you put on your hair, and whether you are wearing a weave or your natural hair, the less heat the better.

Beauty is Skin......Deep

I get so excited when I come across a new product that I have never heard of...now warning this post is not hair related. Well again I found myself on YouTube waching AfricanExport's YouTube channel. In this particular video she was answering questions on her skin care regime and the products she uses (Black soap was amongst her staples). Now don't get me wrong I hav heard of Black Soap and have known many people who have used it on their skin (ironically enough they all had fabulous complexions), but ironically enough I've never tried it because I wasn't sure how my skin would react to it, and I thought it only came in bar soap form. Well AfricanExport mentioned that there is indeed a liquid form that she not only uses on her face, but she uses it on her skin and hair (so I guess this is a hair post). It is all natural and claims to be gentle in cleaning your skin, moisturizing and fading blemishes. WDYT?

FYI....Here is the video...You can skip to 3:45 to hear about the Black Soap.

Dream Curls

Well first let me say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope your New Year's was fun and fab.
Well I have been a little M.I.A and since I haven't blogged since Christmas, I hope Santa brought you lots of goodies, love and good time with family and friends.

Now on to the good stuff, I wanted to dish about one of my favorite gifts I received that was high on my Christmas wish list..... a clipless curling iron.
The one I received is under the brand Ginalli Milano but there are a few other brands out there; Le Anglique and Enzo Milano. Well anywho I love it because it's pretty much fool proof and the results are great. It even comes with a heat glove so you don't burn you fingers :)
The best thing is the price, they aren't crazy expensive if you shop around. They have tons on Ebay priced between $35-50. If you try it out, let me know what you think.



Here is the video on YouTube was the inspiration for putting it on my Christmas wish list.


And here is me for my birthday after curling my hair
