Tame the Frizz with Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz System

Frizzy hair can be frustrating to tame and I especially notice it during the warmer summer months when the humidity kicks into gear. I have been trying out a new products from Mielle that I’m excited to share with you—the Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz System for textured hair will keep the frizz under control and leave your hair feeling smooth and shiny. Mielle is known as “The Textured Hair Care Authority,” and is the fastest growing Black-founded and women-led beauty brand.

* Complimentary Products Received for Review.

The Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz System is a 4-step collection featuring proprietary refrigerate-to-activate Cold Application Technology™. For the longest time, the power of cool in hair care has been relegated to the cool rinse at the hair salon, or the cold shot button on your blow dryer—an underestimated feature that helps to smooth down the hair cuticle to create maximum shine and help your style last longer.

Formulated to target frizz triggered by damage, dryness, and humidity, it is recommended to use the entire collection as a system as the products build upon one another. While this might sound complicated, it’s super easy to follow the 4-step process.

Here’s a quick overview of the products:

* Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Shampoo – This shampoo replenishes moisture and gives the hair a clean slate as it gently removes residue from the hair and scalp. It leaves hair feeling soft, smooth and prepped for frizz-free styling. It also smells amazing!
* Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Conditioner – This conditioner nourishes and smoothes the surface of the hair for increased manageability and easier detangling. It leaves hair feeling softer, shinier, and prepped for frizz-free styling.
* Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Slip & Seal Leave-In Conditioner – As a first layer for frizz protection, this leave-in conditioner smoothes the surface of the hair providing instant detangling and slip. It seals cuticles in place and leaves hair soft and shiny with a layer of protection against frizz. This product uses the super innovative Cold Application Technology, which naturally closes hair cuticles tightly in place to block out humidity.
* Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Curl Perfector – As a second layer of protection for curly hair, it seals the surface of the hair to reduce frizz and adds a layer of protection against frizz while providing long lasting curl definition. It leaves curls soft, shiny and beautiful. This product also incorporates the company’s Cold Application Technology.
* Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Stay Straight Serum – This serum is for the straight styles, and seals the surface of the hair, shields against up to 450 degree heat and adds a layer of protection against frizz, humidity, and reversion. Use for softer, shinier, long-lasting straight styles. This product also uses the Cold Application Technology and is probably my favorite in the bunch as my hairs seems to play nice with the straight styles.

What Really Makes These Products Special?

In addition to the Cold Application Technology found in three of the five products, there are two key powerhouse ingredients that really set these hair product apart. They are:

Avocado – Studies have shown that the minerals contained in avocados help seal the hair cuticle cells. The combined potassium and magnesium present in avocados will give a smooth and shiny frizz-free appearance to the hair.

Tamanu Oil – It is often used as a skin care ingredient for anti-aging and wound healing, and has been revered in Polynesian countries for centuries because of its incredible healing and nourishing properties. It is the perfect additive for beauty and hair treatments because of its deep-penetrating and lightweight absorption, healing, and shine-inducing abilities. Rich in nutrients like alpha-linoleic, oleic, palmitic and stearic acids, Tamanu Oil deeply nourishes the hair follicles.

As mentioned above, for best results, use the entire collection as a system. Here’s the step by step to get the best results possible.

* Step 1 – Gently cleanse with the sulfate-free Anti-Frizz Shampoo.
* Step 2 – Follow with the Conditioner, rinse in cool water for 5 seconds to seal cuticles.
* Step 3 – After rinsing the Conditioner, spray the Anti-Frizz Slip & Seal Leave-In Conditioner on damp hair. Section hair and gently detangle with a wide tooth comb from ends to root for even distribution. Do not rinse.
* Step 4 – Select your style system. Pick the Curl Perfector for curly looks OR Stay Straight Serum for straight looks. Both provide an additional layer of protection against frizz.

* For Curly Looks: apply Leave-In Conditioner, apply Anti-Frizz Curl Perfector on wet detangled hair, section by section. Style as desired. For Wash-n Go styles, define curls layer by layer, using a 9 or 7 row brush or use 2 fingers to smooth product on the hair to clump curls and maintain curl pattern while preventing frizz. Use a diffuser or air dry.

* For Straight Looks: apply Leave-In Conditioner, blow dry hair. Apply a dime size amount of Anti-Frizz Stay Straight Serum, gently rub through hair from root to end and comb. Adjust amounts according to hair type, texture, length, density, and straightening needs. Do not overuse. Proceed to straighten with flat iron.

What I really love about this collection is that you can achieve both curly and straight frizz-free styles, so this truly is a versatile and innovative product. I also really love the price. Each product is only $12.99, which is so affordable. You can purchase them on the Mielle Organics website or at Target, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and Sally Beauty to name a few.

These products contain no silicones, parabens, sulfates, paraffins, mineral oil, DEA and are not tested on animals.

Pro Tip: Refrigerate to chill the Cold Application Technology products for 1 hour minimum. Apply cold before styling. Refrigeration recommended for the Avocado & Tamanu Leave-In, Curl Perfector, and Stay Straight Serum, but is NOT required. Shake well before use and do not freeze.
