Winter Skin/Hair Savers Series

If you're anything like me, really cold weather hurts your skin and/or hair's feelings. It more than likely responds by being super dry, itchy, flaky, and so on. I'm here this week to provide you with some great armor to protect yourself from these little nuisances and give you the ability to go on being the super hot babe you know you are.

We shall begin with your lovely head of hair. The mask by L'oreal you see pictured is one of my faves - and it smells amazing to boot. An exhilarating rosemary-mint greets you when you open this jar of deeply moisturizing hair magic. Leave it on for 3 minutes (a great time to shave those legs) and VOILA! A soft, shiny head of hair is yours. Check it out here (it's also hugely affordable at $8.99). Here are some other products to check out:

1. Dove Intense Damage Therapy Conditioner $7.75 at drugstores

2. Fekkai Advanced Technician Color Care Mask $35 at salons, Sephora, Ulta

3. Aveeno Nourish + Condition Leave-in Treatment $6.99 at drugstores

4. Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Treatment Masque $26 at Aveda and salons

Me = Living Proof that this stuff WORKS!

Previously, I posted on the most effective frizz reducer I've ever used here...and as if that wasn't enough to make me one happy consumer, Living Proof has gone and introduced Shampoo and Conditioner.

A moment of honesty: I was a teeeeeeeny tiny bit skeptical that this would not weigh my hair down and/or make my hair look greasy when I tried this. To my great pleasure (and surprise), these products did the exact opposite. What I've really recognized about the Living Proof line is that the products genuinely just take away that nasty frizz and leave you with gorgeously soft, shiny, and smooth hair!

I am totally sold and so happy with this line...if you have frizz issues I would absolutely recommend trying any of their products. Check them out here.

Here's to great hair days.....................XOXO, Tiff.

Keep on Moroccan me, Baby

I have a confession, dear readers. I have totally and completely been holding out on you on this one. I do assure you, however, that it has been of the accidental nature and will not happen again.

Now that I have that out of the way...let's talk about maybe one of the best hair products I've ever used. I have been using this for quite a while now (as in, for about 8 months) and LOVE it. I have very thick, confused (wavy, curly, frizzy) hair - but this oil does the exact opposite of weighing it down as you might think oil would. When I rub a dime-sized amount through my damp hair before blow-drying, I am left with shiny, soft, health-looking hair. I also use it as a finisher to tame "new growth" and enhance shine.

I have never heard a bad thing about this product, no matter what your hair type.

Oh, and you know how I've been using it for 8 months? Still using the same bottle. It lasts FOREVER. And smells great, too.

Check it out here.

Excited for Fall Reason #9

Returning health to that summer-wrought head of hair. While I haven't tried the shampoo and conditioner in this line, I can tell you that the 3-Minute Undo is an amazing little (cheap!!!) product. This hair treatment uses 3 fruit oils (olive, avocado, and shea) to restore health and moisture to dry and damaged hair.

I LOVE the results - not only does this stuff smell and feel fabulous, but my hair is soft, shiny, and bouncy. I am a walking hair commercial. At least in my own little world, and that's all that matters, right?

Find these at your local drug-store or mass retailer.

And Then I Saw No Frizz...Now I'm a Believer

This product has most definitely earned a permanent spot in my beauty closet. I have tried so so very many de-frizzing products over the years, that I eventually gave up on finding one that actually worked...and turned into a frizz-free cynic to boot. I just kind of resigned to the fact that I am stuck with a huge mane of frizzy hair, post-blow- drying, that absolutely requires a flat-iron to look decent enough to walk out the door. And woof, you don't even want to see my hair after air-drying.

While I'll admit I haven't tried the air-dry yet (it is truly frightening), the results I've seen from this product after blow-drying are phenomenal. My hair is so much smoother - and I have cut my flat-ironing time down by over 50% (I still need to iron out some kinks here and there, plus I have bangs). I use the "straight-making" formula for medium to thick hair. They also have formulas for fine to medium, and thick to coarse - as well as formulas for curly hair.

This product was developed by a scientist at MIT - as if I didn't think they were geniuses already.

Get more info about this product here - a 4 oz. bottle will cost you $24.
