Honey & Shea Butter Hair Food
This is an elaboration of a recipe we formulated for a top notch braiding salon in South London. It is made especially for Afro Caribbean hair, curly kinky hair or to smooth the frizz from very dry and damaged hair. Use to lock in moisture, soften and add high sheen and lustre.
Vitamin-packed D panthenol, Avocado, Kukui and Olive oils plus our very own honey and local beeswax, fair trade and organic shea butter provide nourishment and help prevent hair damage.
Rub into braids, dreads or loose hair for a marvellous conditioning effect. It can also be used as a night conditioner ... melt a small amount between your fingertips apply and leave overnight using a towel to protect your pillow. Wash out in the morning or just leave in.

" have been using this product since end August 2008, and I am very happy, I have had lots of comments about my hair, the healthiness, shines and the growth. My hair is natural Afro Caribbean, I have stopped braiding with extension, nor do I put chemical in my hair. I suffered from dry scalp. I was surfing the net to see if there is anything pure natural products for Afro Caribbean hair, I came across Laughing Bird. Before this I tried all kinds of products for afro hair my hairdresser recommend me products that did not work, By the end of the weeek of washing my hair my scalp is so dry, which I was embarrassed. Since my discovery of laughing bird, I no logger have this problem, I am so happy with the products, I am going to try the body care products. Thank you laughing Bird for such great products, I am looking forward to a shampoo by you, and perhsps something for dark circles under eye. Thank agian "

"As a family with very big Afro's I bought this recently for my son's hair, as his dad sometimes combs it - he doesn't have the patience with the pure shea butter like myself. It has made a huge difference to the softness of his hair. So much so, I had to split the contents for me and my husband! Again thank you for an straightforward, honest, company. I like the simple style, please keep it. The goats look like a joy! Jo x "

"This is by far the best product I have ever come across! I've had this frizzy bushy curly hair ever since I was a kid, bit like Hermione Granger from the first Harry Potter films and nothing I tried would leave it curly instead of frizzy or smooth instead or brittle. Recently I decided to go back to basics and buy products full of essential oils, coconut oil, jojoba oil, etc.. you name it! Came across this product in Infinity foods and to be honest didn't think it would make much of difference and that it'd just be the same as usual: it would be nice for 1 hour after I washed it then just start having its life of its own again. But this hair food is just magical, my hair looks shiny and full of tight well defined curls, feel like one of those models on TV for curly hair products where you can blatantly see they've used a hair curler. And yet this is my own hair and I've been using this product for a week now and I must say it's made me have so much more confidence in myself and finally admit to myself that after all, curls do rock! This discovery has made so much of difference to me, thanks a lot! "

"After returning to Australia from many years in
London, I could not find any sutible hair products for mixed race daughter.
I was introduced to Shea Butter whilst in London & was very happy with it, so I jumped on this website to order more. After exploring, I came across the hair food & thought I'd give it a go. I am delighted with the result, it leaves a beautiful shine on my daughters hard- to- manage hair, leaves it soft and smelling good enough to eat!!
I was also very impressed with the efficient & prompt delivery from your company to find me all this way across the other side of the world within 10 days. Thankyou Laughing Bird!! "

"I got a jar of this yesterday from Baldwins (which is, incidentally, my favourite shop in the whole world) & used it overnight as a leave-in treatment. I didn't realise it was designed largely for afro-caribbean hair until it was already on, and so, with my caucasian hair, was a bit unsure of what to expect... but it's fantastic! i washed it out this morning & it's left my hair smooth, glossy & deeply moisturised. A fabulous, fabulous product, and smells gorgeous, too - like lemon curd! Ten million stars! x "

"I usually make my own Shea based hair butters as natural ingredients work best on my hair. I stumbled upon the hair food and was impressed from the ingredients. This product is fantastic and my afro loves it. It softened my hair, left a lovely non greasy sheen and smells nice. Keep up the good work. "
