![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Post-shower and a tangled mess, ripping through my hair not only hurts but definitely feels like something I can avoid doing. I couldn’t be happier :] !!Īnyway, Andrea is the reason I was able to experience the amazingness of what these products have to offer and I want everyone reading to know that stylists like her DO EXIST and I strongly suggest finding that special someone to cut your hair if you haven’t so already. Until then, I’ve been terrified to cut it due to length but knowing my concerns were taken to heart, I had the courage to let her cut my recent haircut with new ombre highlights. Off topic but one time I wanted a feather cut (aka snip the teeny split ends and nothing else off) and rather than telling me reasons X, Y and Z to cut it all off, she satisfied my tidiness for my overgrown hair. If there’s any dream stylist around who legitimately listens to every word you say, it’s Andrea. I went to my best friend’s sister Andrea (who I consider one of my besties as well ]) who works at a local salon called CoCo BOND. Very sad but very true for those like me with an indecisive style motive and a straightener in hand. My hair has been through so much that it often dries in small portions before I can even get a towel on my head. Whenever I take a shower, my hair looks like this and to be honest, this is a decent shot of its reality. * Disclaimer: all below opinions are my own and written with sincere honesty based on my personal experience with the following products. Without further a-do, may I introduce you all to UNITE hair products and by the end of this post, will have you wanting this unique hair care product set even more (make sure to read all the way through “wink wink”.) I needed a product that was super easy to apply for my impatient self but also one that actually could do what it’s information and application label said it’s supposed to do. With summer basically around the corner, I’m retiring the flat iron and looking for better (healthier) ways to emphasize the waves I once had without the use of a curling iron - and who are we kidding, no one can out-Mufasa the humidity click here if you have no idea what I’m referring to.) I’ve tried all these sprays and creams to enhance the natural volume of my hair but honestly, they all left me with a stiff or greasy mop of a “do” that made me look like I don’t own a mirror and/or reveal that I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. From box hair dye to ombre, my hair has been through A LOT and styling it with heated irons has only led me down the path of damage, damage, damage. For example, I cut 2.5 inches off of my hair length because 1) I enjoy change 2) I wanted something more manageable to tackle each morning and 3) my poor ends have suffered enough over the past year and it showed. With all these criteria in mind, we asked hairstylists to share their picks for the best leave-in conditioners to fulfill your hair hydration needs, and we added a couple of our own favorites, too.Sooo by NO MEANS am I a beauty guru - my makeup routine each morning is a three-step process, not even - but I’ve always been willing to try new products that make my life easier. When you're shopping for leave-in conditioners, cosmetic chemist Ginger King suggests looking for ingredients like oils, fatty alcohols, and triglycerides that will "smooth the cuticles and keep the hair in place." For detangling in particular, King also notes that quaternium compounds work well, such as quaternium 4, 7, and 11 (look out for ingredient names that start with quaternium or polyquaternium). “It can tame flyaways and add shine - even if the hair is a bit dry or damaged.” "Think of a leave-in conditioner as a balm that kind of does it all," says Giannetos. Leave-in conditioners are also absolute miracle workers for the time-starved among us who don't have the extra 15 minutes to wait around in the shower for an intensive hair mask to work its magic - but want to replicate some of the smoothing, deep-conditioning, shine-inducing results of using a mask, nonetheless.ĭimitris Giannetos, a Los Angeles-based hairstylist who regularly works with Camila Cabello and Jasmine Tookes, tells Allure that he loves using leave-in conditioners when styling clients. ![]() Plus, leave-ins offer a variety of extra benefits when it comes to UV protection and hair-type-specific styling help. They linger, sink into hair follicles, and make a noticeable difference in how hydrated your hair looks. Rinse-out conditioners are essential hydrators that soften and smooth hair after cleansing, but the best leave-in conditioners go one step further. ![]()
