HONEYCOMBED, Part 6: It's a beautiful life

POSTED: Friday, August 5, 2011, 3:00 PM

Beach hair in a bottle

Natural hair care products are picking up steam in today's beauty market. To keep you up-to-date on what's out there, City Paper's Cassie Owens is spearheading a weeklong series that highlights locally based natural product manufacturers.

A Beautiful Life’s product line marries environmental consciousness with chic, adorable style. With that combo, it’s no surprise they’ve earned props from all over the place: People Magazine, Marie Claire, Philadelphia Magazine’s Best of Philly … the list continues. Some of our faves? Their honey bear-shaped shampoo and conditioner, the soy-based nail care line and the PreGame texturizing spray, which, as coincidence will have it, we're giving away today. The beachy-smelling spritz is made with aloe vera, Himalayan pink salt and coconut fragrance. We tested it out to see how it works on different hair types. The verdict? It doesn't give those with color-treated hair that icky brassy tone. And it adds volume to curly, kinky hair-types without adding frizz. And it makes it easier to play with and re-style your hair throughout the day.

To win a bottle, call 215-839-9160 and sing us your favorite summer tune by Wed., Aug. 10. The song that gives us the biggest smile wins. And don't worry, it'll go straight to voicemail, so you don't have to fret about someone picking up. Just wait for the beep, sing until your heart's content and be sure to leave contact info.

Okay, start warming up those pipes. We want some songs!
