UNITE!

I apologize for hardly posting lately but doing a blog all by yourself is much more difficult than I imagined. In the future I plan to do "how-to's", however, that is not easy to manage alone. In the meantime, I wanted to talk about one of my new favorite hair care companies, UNITE. Unite puts out a full line of shampoos, conditioners, styling products, finishing products, and treatments. They literally have something for everyone. I'm sure after reading this post you will be curious where in the world you can get the products from this incredible company. On their website, they have a salon locator. Just type in your zip code and easily find a salon near you that sells and specializes in their products. The great thing about buying from a salon instead of a store is that you can talk to a stylist that uses these products every day. They know exactly what you will need to get the look you desire. Alright, lets get started!
Unite Shampoos are free of sulfates and parabens which strip your hair of it's moisture and color If you get highlights, your new favorite will be Blonda! Blonda is one seriously purple shampoo. You might be asking your self; "what is a purple shampoo going to do for me?" Well, using a purple shampoo like Blonda will kick out all of those yucky orange, brass, yellow-ish tones you may get a few weeks after you got your hair highlighted. Blonda tones your hair so you can get those perfect delicate colors you desire, especially during the summer!


7Seconds is the bomb-diggity and definitely a top seller. Pretty much anyone and everyone can use 7Seconds. I even heard someone say they use it on their dog! Personally, I don't know much about that but; this stuff is incredible. So, why is this product called 7Seconds? Simply because it detangles, locks in color and protects the hair from UV and heat in only 7 seconds. WOW! It is thick like a conditioner and is sprayed onto the hair after it is towel dried. 
My mom (like any other American right now) is broke as a joke, so she uses cheap shampoo on my 5 year old sister. Her hair has begun to feel sticky and straw-like. She turned to me and asked me what she could do. I know my mom was not going to spend more than $2 on a bottle of shampoo so I didn't even begin to go down that road. I sprayed some 7Seconds in my baby sister's hair. Once it dried we could all tell a difference. It was suddenly softer and brush-able. The best part is, it didn't weigh down her gorgeous, strawberry blonde curls.
Alright guys, this is the last product I wanted to talk about because it has got to be the coolest thing I have ever seen. Expanda Dust is the ultimate product to get that Snooki-type volume you'd kill for. There are 2 ways to apply. First way is to just tap a little bit at your roots after your hair is blow dried. Give a little shake at your roots, maybe even tease a little and boom! Your hair has officially risen from the dead. Second way is to flip your head over as you blow dry and sprinkle as close to your roots as you can and point your blow dryer at your roots to get that boost. Lots of people use it for every day use but I think it is particularly perfect for weddings, and prom.
