I may not be from Texas, but my mantra has always been:
“The bigger the hair, the closer to God.” Amen, right?
As I’ve mentioned before, my hair is very fine. Anyone that has managed my tresses always says the same thing: “You have a ton of hair, it’s just fine.”
Now I’m not talking fine as in “Girl, you’re so fine!”, rather, fine, as in the politically correct term for flat, limp, sticks-to-the-side-of-your-head, type of fine. (I just hope they’re not lying to make me feel better. [[Sighhh]] )
To combat this travesty, I tried UNITE’s Volumizing Shampoo and 7Seconds Conditioning spray a few years ago. These two products quickly became part of my holy grail of essentials.
I was instantly hooked and wanted/needed/had to know more about UNITE.
So here’s the deets…
Founded by creative director Andrew Dale, UNITE is a premium, boutique, fashion-based brand, found in select salons only. His philosophy of creating quality products to make life easier for his clientele, paired with his experience of working alongside major fashion designers, is the reason UNITE stays true to beautiful hair.
{Side note>>>}When Presleigh was diagnosed with Celiac [read more on that here], I realized UNITE’s products are all gluten free-which I love and appreciate now more than ever!
To say I was thrilled to try out UNITE’s entire Volumizing System is an understatement[!!].
Let me preface by saying: It doesn’t disappoint.
Get excited loveleigh’s:
VOLUMIZING SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER: Excellent if you are in constant search of a shamps/conds combo that will give you fuller, more volumized hair.
KEY POINTS:
+it will not weigh your hair down
+leaves your hair soft, with flexible volume and lift
+enhances your hairs natural shine
I have found in my quest for more volume, that most volumizing systems can be too drying-even for my oily mop. Nobody wants volume with brittle ends, right?
Well, UNITE’S volumizing shampoo volumizes without sacrificing your hair’s natural moisture.
KEY INGREDIENTS:
+ Hydroxypropyl Methocellulose: thickens hair and enhances volume
+ Moringa Seed Extract : color locking antioxidant
+ Botanisil: Moisturizes, locks in color, thermal protector
7SECONDS Condition-Leave in Detangler:
Is by far, THE BEST. Ever.
Magic in a bottle.
Swear.
Thank me later.
It literally works wonders! Especially on Presleigh’s beautiful, head full of fine, tangled mess. Only 4 pumps and 7 seconds later, we are tangle and tear-free. It has become a staple in her beauty regimen, naturally. 😉
Because of my oily skin, some products tend to cause my scalp to become excessivley oily, as well. 7SECONDS absolutely does notmake my hair oily; only giving me soft, extra healthy, shiny hair.
This is UNITE’s #1 selling product[!!]
Other Benefits of 7SECONDS include:
+Seals the cuticle and protects hair all day long
+Thermal protector
+UV protector
+For all hair types
BOOSTA Spray: Now Boosta is the business! It has an amazing fresh, tropical, coconutty smell. So obvi it’s going to leave a loveleigh lingering scent.
You can apply BOOSTA to wet or dry hair and spray from roots to end. (I’ve only tried it wet)
I hold BOOSTA about 6-8 inches away from my scalp and spray directly on my roots and throughout my damp hair. I blow dry as usual. A
It is so lightweight-as if there is no product in your hair! It’s amaze, to say the least.
SESSION Whip Foam: So not your typical mousse. Volumizing foam.
You can scuplt, lift, or create full locks-truly weightless.
Use a golf-ball size amount and distribute evenly through hair. Style as usual and voila(!): big, sexy, amazingly volumized hair.
GO365 Hairspray: 3 Hairsprays in one. Turn nozzle to desired strength and you get the hold (soft, medium or strong) you want!
This has to be the coolest hairspray I have ever used! What a fabulous idea to simply turn the nozzle to choose the type of hold you need. It works well and has a fresh smell too.
UNITE Expanda Dust: insta-volume! One puff on the roots adds extraordinary lift, texture and hold.
Not to be confused with a dry shampoo. Totally different.
This is an ultra fine powder made of:
+Kaolin-adds texture and hold
+Potato Starch-thickens and adds volume
+Tapioca Starch-thickens and adds volume
+Corn Starch-adds body and hold
+Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice-adds moisture and soothes hair and scalp
UNITE Expanda Dust does neither–it gives instant volume that really lasts. Say buh-bye to Queen of Flat Hair!
Now don’t go ape shizz with this product either. I can’t stress this enough! Remember less is more and distribute evenly and sparingly.
The 7SECONDS Dry shampoo : breathes new life into your hair so you can save time in your day.
Clean hair without washing? Yes, please!
+Sulfate & paraben free
+remove excess oils
+increase volume
+refreshes hair without having to re-shampoo in shower
Finally[!!], a volumizing system that really works.
But don’t fret you loveleigh beauties that do not suffer from flat hair-itis, UNITE has two more systems: Moisturizing and Smoothing.
With their sleek and clean packaging, featuring 32 professional haircare products, you will def find something that works for your hair type.
Everything your heart and hair need! From cleanse, condition, style, finish and treatments.
UNITE can be hard to find because they strongly believe in protecting the integrity of their products and want to remain a premium brand. Go to uniteeurotherapy.com and use their salon locator to find the retail location closest to you or place your order online.
100% vegan, gluten free, without DEA, MEA, parabens, or sulfates and not tested on animals.
There’s a reason why celebs, beauty editors, and hairstylists alike, obsess over UNITE and you will too.
