Our favorite product at La Bella is UNITE's 7 Seconds Leave-In Conditioner. For those of you who feel your hair could never be detangled, your hair has met its match! Not only does this product offer amazing detangling, but also versatility thanks to the unique "barely there" ingredients which nourish the hair. 7Seconds will balance the porosity of your hair, which allows proper product absorption. Meanwhile, the light moisturizers, protein, and UV filters condition and protect hair from not only heat damage (from your hair dryer, curling iron, flat iron, etc.), but also environmental stress that our hair is exposed to every day.
The Sleek and Chic Look
The best product to use with this look is going to be UNITE's Lazer Straight. In order to achieve this sleek modern-day style, you want to use a dime-to-nickel size amount of Lazer Straight. Indulge yourself in the sweet dessert-like scent from midstrand to ends. When applying such a product, always begin from teh bottom back of your hair, working your way down the ends toward the front and combing through. This product not only smells divine, but it also provides the hair with impeccable protection from heat damage and UV rays as well as sealing the cuticle to keep your hair looking youthful and beautiful!
Begin the blowdry process using your hand as a tool to stretch the hair. Once the hair is at least 75% dry, start using a paddle brush to begin the smoothing process. Once the hair is completely dry, a quick touch up with the flat iron will give you that "seal the deal" finish, which will take you from polished to Sleek and Chic.
Voluptuous Beauty
Schwarzkopf's Body Me is one of our most recent discoveries, which we have quickly added to our list of must-have favorite products. It is a state-of-the-art, light weight cream which plumps the hair strand to create body, provides flexible hold for style versatility, and locks in hair's natural moisture for protection. The fragrance this product lets off is one to make you instantly feel more feminine! Apply a dime-to-nickel-sized amount through the hair starting from the bottom back to front and comb through.
Next, flip your head over and dry your hair upside down, using your hands as a tool to speed up the process. Once the hair is about 50% dry, flip your head back over and continue trying your hair until it's about 75% dry. Begin sectioning the hair using 1-inch sections and clip the rest of your hair out of the way. Always begin your sections at the bottom, working your way to the top. Using a round brush, point the dryer at your hair (on its hottest setting) for about 10 seconds, constantly moving the brush through the hair and the dryer with it. Do not leave the dryer pointed at one section of your hair - always keep it moving, or you'll burn your hair! After 10 seconds of hot air, press the "cool" button for at least five seconds to set your hair. This ensures a longer-lasting finish. Repeat these motions in each 1-inch section until you're finished!
** Tip for bangs - Blowdry up and over with the round brush, moving away from the face. This creates a sweeping motion, but with 50% added lift!
Finish with hairspray to lock in the voluptuous body you were craving!
