A Closer Look at Moroccan Oil and Unite's Lazer Straight

As mentioned in our previous post, I (Shanti Lynn) am the featured stylist of the month at La Bella Hair Studio and with each featured stylist comes featured products--with amazing deals for you! In case you aren't familiar with Unite's Lazer Straight and Moroccanoil Treatment,  (or you just want to get to know them a little better) this will help you decide whether or not they are for you--and if so, hurry in and get them before the month of August is over!

Unite's Lazer Straight: Since the first time I ever was introduced to this product, I was in love. Unlike a lot of straightening aids, this one is great for any texture and thickness of hair. The first impression you get as soon as you put some in your hands is the delectable aroma that reminds you of cake batter. Warning: although you may be tempted to taste it, this product is not edible--yeah it smells that good. Once you get past the first smell, it's time to see and feel what it can do for you...and I promise you, it works wonders. On the bottle it reads "Lazer Straight: Relaxing Fluid" although it can hardly be characterized as a relaxer given that it's chemical free and it's benefits are solely for styling purposes: it's main job is to smooth down the cuticle, soften the hair, reduce the amount of curl making flat-ironing an easier feat, enhance a weightless shine, and block out humidity making your sleek 'do last until your next shampoo (hence the name "Relaxing Fluid") But what's in it that sets it apart from all of the other straightening aids? Lazer Straight is fully equipped with UV filters, heat protectors, and color-locking antioxidant botanisil (extending the longevity of artificial or natural hair color and tones). Unite is also famous for what is NOT in their products, because that is almost more just as important as what's in it. Lazer Straight is free of sulfates, sodium chloride, MEA, DEA, glutens, and parabens making this product a perfect pairing for that Keratin Treatment you just got. Oh, and did I mention they DO NOT test on animals and all of their products are Vegan friendly? Seriously, this product is for anyone.
Just use a dime to nickel size amount depending on thickness of hair, rub it in your hands; and if you have a lower volume of curl start from mid-strand to ends, but if you're hair is overly curly you can go ahead and apply from root to ends. Comb it through your hair, continue by blow drying with a paddle brush to smooth it out, and finish with a flat iron for touch ups if necessary.

Moroccanoil Treatment: I consider this product liquid gold for it's amazing qualities and benefits for the hair. This is also a great product  for any hair texture or thickness. It's versatile, nourishing, and residue free formula is best used for conditioning as an overnight treatment, styling used on the hair wet, and finishing tool adding shine to already dry hair. It perfectly pairs with any product and can also speed up drying time by 40% making your life and styling routine that much easier. The way it works? It absorbs instantly to fill gaps created by heat, sun damage, styling, and environmental damage. It is known to completely transform and repair your hair--although you instantly feel a difference in your hair, over time the results get better and better--it transports lost proteins for strength. What's in it? Fatty acids, omega-3 oils/vitamins for shine,  and also contains antioxidants for protection. Basically, it works as food for the hair and instead of resting on the outside of the cuticle (which would weigh the hair down) it is absorbed into the hair creating weightless shine and giving your hair the opportunity to bounce back from everyday wear and tear.
A dime to nickel sized amount is also sufficient with the Moroccanoil Treatment. If using for styling: work it through the hair mid-strand to ends paired with your Lazer Straight other fave product and comb it through, followed by whatever styling method you have chosen. If you are using for finishing, a pea to dime sized amount is perfect: rub into hands and flip your already dry hair upside down working the product from the nape of the hair, to the front ends, ending with whatever is left over on your hands over your part. If you are using as a treatment overnight, a quarter sized amount is great: work it through root to ends, throw your hair up in a bun, and rinse out in the morning!

Both of these products alone are absolutely amazing in giving your hair extra shine to make it through the humid seasons, and add moisture and strength to make it through the drier seasons as well. Together they make the perfect combo to master that sleek look you have been working towards.
