GOLD IN A BOTTLE.. SORT OF.

Do you ever just feel like your hair needs a drink? Maybe your highlights have dried your hair out, or perhaps you've got a pool in your backyard and the chlorine is wreaking havoc on your hair. Whatever the scenario, I have a solution... Unite's "7Seconds Condition." This is BY FAR our salon's top-selling product! There's a very good reason why this is our bestselling retail product---- IT WORKS. I know you have bought a plethora of hair care products, only to be disappointed in not only the quality, but also the claims they make to "do this" or "do that."

 

7Seconds Condition is a jack of all trades. As you can see below, there are multiple benefits to this product, so you really get more bang for your buck. When I tell you that this product is WEIGHTLESS, I mean it! You cannot over due it with the amount you apply. The really cool thing about this particular product is that you can use it either wet OR dry. I mainly use it wet for detangling, being a thermal protectant and to lock in the beautiful color my client has just received. But, you can also use it on second day hair to give your ends a little bit of moisture to bring them back to life. I also like to tell my clients about its AMAZING pool protection! Not only are there UV protectants in the 7Seconds Condition, but you can also spray your hair before you get in the pool to protect your color from chlorine damage. How awesome is that??? You get protection from damage AND it's conditioning while you're having fun in the sun!

 

 

This "liquid gold" can be used on ANY hair type, by people of ANY age! Check the link below to find a salon near you that sells Unite products & go give it a try... who knows.. you might fall in love!

Why Clarify?

As most of you know, I am a HUGE fan of big hair, which means I'm also a fan of hairspray...

 I get SO many questions about how I get my hairstyles to hold. The techniques are simple to learn, but the products are tricky to remove. I was always taught in hair school to not use more than 4 products when working on a client... the only problem is they never said that about myself! I use a ton of product in my hair. And even if you don't use a ton of product in your hair, if you aren't using a salon quality shampoo and conditioner, the cheaper ingredients could be causing you to have build-up that you didn't even know existed! Build-up can present itself in many forms. Sometimes, it can look like flakes of dandruff, or little white "bumps" on your hair strands, or even a waxy coating. There are as million different Pinterest remedies, but the only thing, that I can professionally suggest is a clarifying shampoo. 

A clarifying shampoo basically does the same thing to your hair that a detox does for your body. You shouldn't use them religiously, but once in awhile, they are necessary. Clarifying shampoos aren't formulated to be used for every shampoo. For instance, if you shampoo your hair 4 times a week, only one of those shampoos should be with a clarifying shampoo. The less product you use, the less product build-up you will have (duh!) so you will need to clarify less.

For my girls with brightly colored hair [raises hand] you need to pay close attention to the brand and ingredients of your clarifying shampoo. Sulfates fade out any color, but especially vivid or bright colors.

My two favorite clarifying shampoos are Unite "Weekender" and ColorProof "Clear It Up."  Both of these shampoos are gentle enough to use, even on colored hair. I especially like the formulas for both of these brands. They are extremely concentrated , so a little bit goes a LONG way.
