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.

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.
