Mielle Avocado & Tomano Anti-Frizz Products

Beat the Frizz with Mielle’s Cold Application Technology™

by Rochelle June 28, 2023

Dealing with frizzy hair? Well, you’re not alone. It’s pretty safe to say that if you have curls, you have also experienced frizz. Within the last couple of years, my focus has shifted from creating major volume to having more defined curls. This is why it made sense to partner with Mielle to introduce their Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz line (with Cold Application Technology™) to you all.

What is Cold Application Technology™

What makes this particular line from Mielle so special is their exclusive Cold Application Technology™. They’ve added it to the stylers from this system and claim that “It uses a ‘cold on contact’ approach to help close hair cuticles in place and reduce frizz during styling.”

The Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz stylers can be refrigerated to help smooth and seal the hair cuticle. This process is optional however and you can still control frizz regardless.

Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz System

Let’s discuss what products make up the line and the key benefits. The entire system is created for textured hair prone to frizz and contains the key ingredients of Tamanu Oil and Avocado Oil. Further, you don’t have to worry about them containing any silicones, parabens, sulfates, paraffin, mineral oil, DEA, or any animal testing.

Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner

Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Shampoo

This shampoo gently cleanses and replenishes moisture in the hair. Product buildup and residue are removed from the hair and scalp leaving it prepared for the conditioner. The hair is left feeling soft and smooth.

Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Conditioner

This conditioner provides nourishment and helps smooth the surface of the hair. It conditions well to make detangling a breeze while offering manageability. The result is hair that feels soft, shiny, and ready for styling.

The Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Stylers

As I mentioned before, these stylers have Cold Application Technology™ and can be placed in the refrigerator if you so choose. All are designed to help with frizz among the other benefits.

Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Slip & Seal Leave-In Conditioner

This leave-in conditioner starts by softening the hair which in turn adds slip for better detangling. As a first step, it preps the hair by smoothing it and sealing the cuticle in place. This leaves the hair with tons of shine and ready for the next step.

Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Stay Straight Serum

This serum has multiple benefits. First, it helps seal the surface of the hair. It also offers heat protection up to 450 degrees. This added layer of protection works well in humidity to prevent frizz and help straight styles from reverting back to curly. The result is styles that are shiny, soft, and long-lasting.

Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Curl Perfector

This curl perfector is a cream formula that helps with frizz by smoothing and sealing the hair. The creamy formula provides a curl definition that lasts while leaving the hair soft and shiny.

My Results & Final Thoughts

For the best results, it’s advised to use the entire system. I don’t straighten my hair so I just didn’t use the Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Stay Straight Serum. The shampoo did an excellent job of cleansing and removing product buildup while still leaving my hair soft. The conditioner had tons of slip and made detangling a breeze.

Because I have some sort of understanding about what makes the hair cuticle open and close, I loved applying the stylers straight out of the refrigerator. Using the warm water to cleanse and condition helped open up the hair cuticle while applying the stylers cold helped seal it. Genius! This resulted in my curls being super shiny and defined. Plus, trying my styling products cold with the summer heat coming was so refreshing!

With the popularity of skin care refrigerators, I never even considered placing my hair care stylers in there. This innovative technology is one that I hope to continue seeing in hair care products of the future. Especially for those that are looking the beat the frizz!

Curly Hair Products Under $5

by Rochelle October 4, 2019

Finding affordable curly hair products is not an easy challenge. Especially if the focus is organic and natural ingredients. However, if you’re willing to let some of the ingredients slide, there are plenty that do a fantastic job of defining, moisturizing, and smoothing out frizzy curls. Check out this budget-friendly list of 5 curly hair products under $5.

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner

Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Conditioner

This affordable conditioner has tons of slip, a great coconut scent and made detangling so easy. After a co-wash with this there was noticebly less shedding. Additionally, it’s paraben, gluten and mineral oil free, color safe and infused with coconut extracts. Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Conditioner $2.99

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist Deep Conditioner

An old time favorite is the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist Deep Conditioner. It always had a way of making itself into my product rotation as a teenager then again after restarting my curly hair journey.

It contains aloe, jojoba oil and sea kelp it’s amazing because it provides quick moisture to my thirsty hair. For someone as limited on time like myself, 3 minutes is about all I have to contribute to deep conditioning. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist Deep Conditioner $2.99

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Intensely Smooth Leave-In Conditioning Cream

Garnier Sleek and Shine Intensely Smooth Leave-In

Another oldie but goodie is the Garnier Sleek and Shine Intensely Smooth Leave-In. Retailing at $2.99, this is designed for frizzy, dry, unmanageable hair. It contains argan oil and their Active Fruit Protein which is a combination of citrus protein, vitamins B3 & B6 and fruit and plant-derived extracts.

Eco Styler Professional Styling Gel Olive Oil Curly Hair Product

EcoStyler Olive Oil Gel

Love it or hate it, EcoStyler gel made the list. The jumbo size has never been necessary in my eyes but the 16 oz is more than enough and retails at only $2.99. The olive oil variation applies sticky at first but after air-drying it doesn’t flake, feel crunchy and made my curls tight and springy. The only con was the scent but that was personal preference.

Creme of Nature Perfect Edges

An edge control with color? Sign me up! If thinning edges and gray hair are some of your problems, this is a quick and temporary solution. My normal go to has been Toppik Hair Building Fibers but it’s a bit pricier.

A helpful tip for edges is to apply further away from the hairline then move closer. This ensures that it gradually gets lighter like a natural hairline. Creme of Nature Perfect Edges can be applied with the fingers, a toothbrush or brush. Retails at $4.59.
