Combat Summer Frizz with Tiare Hair

Unnique is the result of several years of experience in the research, development and creation of beauty products.

Combining ingredients and technology from Europe, United States and South America, they achieve unique quality and unparalleled results on the look and care of your hair. They work hard to develop products that give you the same results of the best products available, however being more friendly for the hairdresser and giving a woman's hair an amazing and natural look. They know every woman’s hair type is different, and the hair professionals want different options for different needs, and this is why Unnique offers a variety of hair treatments.

Following the huge success of their Unnique Professional line, they introduce TIAREHAIR, a consumer line of amazing hair care products inspired by the magic of Tahitian gardenias.

The combination of tahitensis flower extract, hydrolyzed keratin, coconut oil, Panthenol and other sodium-free and paraben-free ingredients, makes the TIAREHAIR line of hair products something unique in the market.

Richness comes from nature. Combining the natural resources with talent and dedication is what makes TIAREHAIR the line of products that go beyond removing frizz or reducing volume.

I've been using the TIAREHAIR Balancing Shampoo, Balancing Conditioner, and Xpress24 Frizz Control ($18.95) for about a month; and I can honestly say that I love these products. The Xpress24 Frizz Control untangles my hair flawlessly. No brushes involved. Seriously! It also helps me avoid the dreaded summer frizz, which is normally inevitable in this sweltering hot, humid weather that I've been experiencing in the Midwest. The extra perks is that it makes my hair velvety soft. XPRESS24 contains Monoi Tiaré, a natural oil derived from the Tiare Tahiti flower and refined coconut oil that also provides shine and strengthens hair. Unlike synthetic silicon moisturizers that sit on top, it absorbs well. Tiare Hair’s XPRESS24 is available through retailers nationwide and online at Belabeauty.com. Like any other frizz control product, be careful not to overdo it. Otherwise, it can possibly weigh down your hair. Also, keep in mind that frizz control products are not for holding your hair in place. You'll have to follow up with another product to address that.

I have had so many bad or just okay experiences with different shampoos and conditioners that sometimes I get a little apprehensive about trying out a new brand. So, it is always refreshing to come across a shampoo and conditioner that was more than okay, particularly the TIAREHAIR Balancing Shampoo and Balancing Conditioner. The shampoo cleanses my hair gently without stripping it from its natural oil, while the conditioner rebalances it to its naturally healthy condition. Both are formulated with coconut oil and gardenia flower - perfect for moisturizing, controlling frizz, and renewing dry, damaged hair.

Mi-Me Review

Mi-Me is a bath & body company based in Memphis, TN.

Mi-Me was founded by friends Gil & Liz after their relocation from Miami, FL to Memphis, TN.

Mi-Me came about as a result of their desire to create affordable, high-quality bath and body products. More than just random ingredients, their love, friendship, tenacity, and passion go into every product we create.

Like everyone else, I get chapped or cracked lips every now and then. My main problem is that my lips get dry easily, especially in the winter or summer. when the weather is at its harshest. I've been using Mi-Me's Lip Service Kit ($33) to restore and revive my lips and it truly lives up to its name. My lips have been soft and supple with the Coconut Lip Buffer, Cinnamon Ginger Lip Plumper, Tangerine Hydrating Lip Butter, and Lemon Ginger Moisturizing Lip Balm - all are part of the Lip Service Kit. The Cinnamon Ginger Lip Plumper doesn't really plump up these small lips, but I find it to be a great product, nonetheless. It is very moisturizing, and I love the little tingle that it gives.

I love versatile products, such as the Avocado Butter ($12). This body butter is thick in texture, yet it surprisingly melts into the skin within seemingly seconds. The low uva/uvb rating also helps the skin to "weather" any situation by reducing the appearance of age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles; preventing scarring, keeping acne breakouts at bay, restoring skin elasticity, improving hair health, while encouraging hair growth; promoting the reproduction of skin cells, and it doesn't stop there. The versatility is practically endless, making it a truly remarkable product.

Although the jar that it comes in is small, I've been savoring every bit and been mostly applying it on my hair every other day to keep it from getting dry in this hot, humid weather that we've been experiencing in the Midwest. It makes my hair feel soft and manageable, thus less tangles, and gives hair the nourishment that it needs without weighing it down. It's very much like coconut oil in that regard, which I can't really use in my hair since it causes to break out my bad around the hairline. However, I'm happy to report that the avocado butter doesn't do that.

Lastly, I received the Skin Tightening and Toning Serum ($40). When applied once a day, this product promotes tighter, smoother, softer firmer skin. I adhere to a healthy, strict vegetarian diet and stay active, but sitting behind a desk for extensive amount of time can eventually lead to cellulite, which became the case for me after 9 years of blogging. I have four blogs, so I stay more than busy!

This product is by no means a miracle worker and isn't for the impatient, but it has dramatically improved the texture of the back of my thighs after using this and a body brush for over a month. In order to see results, consistency is key, so you can't use it every other day and expect results. I used this product day and night and switched to coconut oil after my product had finally depleted.
