Defined Curls Despite the Damage

"After years of bleaching, I finally found a leave-in conditioner that actually works! It’s completely transformed my damaged blond hair, leaving it healthy and my curls perfectly defined. I get so many compliments now that people constantly ask if my curls are natural. ""

Anna B. (5/5)

Smells too good to be this effective

"Okay first of all… this smells AMAZING. Like I lowkey want a whole perfume of it. 😂 My hair is fine but I have a LOT of it, so brushing can be a nightmare—and this makes it stupid easy. No pulling, no fighting for my life with a brush. A little goes a LONG way too, which is rare because I usually drown my hair in detangler (looking at you Not Your Mother’s 👀). This one actually works without needing half the bottle. 10/10, will keep buying."

Alex B. (5/5)

Smells incredible

"My hairstylist uses this every time I see her; it smells incredible and leaves my hair feeling healthy and smooth. I finally decided to order myself a bottle to use at home. I don’t use a lot of heat on my hair but I love knowing it protects my hair when I do. I use it even when I let my hair air dry and it gives it seems to give my hair a more polished look."

Angela K. (5/5)

Tangle Free

"We love this stuff in my home smells so good and does the job. Especially with my Grand daughter no more Nana stop it hurts. She now is tangle free from her long long hair and my daughter in law was so shocked it works. She now cannot live without it we have long hair mine is kinda fine hers is thick and about 6-7" long."

Barbara S. (5/5)

Best detangler

"I love this product! It is an awesome detangler and helps protect hair from heat. Keeps my hair soft and healthy. A lot goes a long way. I use on ends only otherwise it can weigh down my fine roots since I have no color on roots."

Amy W. (4/5)

The best. Fresh scent and great formula

"I have used this for years. After trying all the others I'm happy to settle on this . It creates a soft manageable style. Cuts the frizz , too."

Patricia F. (5/5)

Amazing leave in conditioner

"I have been using Unite hair seven seconds leave in conditioner for over 25 years. Leaves my hair shining, silky and smells lovely and fresh . I even use it on my dog after her showers"

Debra M. (5/5)

Way too expensive

"$43 for this product is a joke. It derangles and smells nice, but the heat protection is minimal compared to similar products. Unite used to be my favorite brand but they’ve gotten a little too full of themselves lately, these price increases are insane when compared to other brands. Loyal customer no more."

Stephanie (1/5)

From someone who NEVER uses products, it is great

"I am in my 60’s and have never used “products” on my hair other than shampoos and conditioners. But the Unite 7 second detangler was a huge surprise when my hairdresser used it on me. This old dog learned a new trick!"

Marcia C. (5/5)

Magic!!

"This is the best hair detangler I have ever used! It is a pricey product so I only buy when it’s on sale but it’s worth it!"

Q&A

I am so disappointed in what was described by Unite as a "small price adjustment". I understand that tariffs and rising costs are happening but the price increase on the detangler alone is over 25%. This insane increase in pricing seems to be across the board. If inflation or tariffs improve is there ever a possibility of pricing returning to somewhat reasonable numbers? Bummed as I have used Unite products for the last 5 years but can not afford to shell out over $40 for a single hair product.

Does the 7 seconds detangler come in a gallery n bottle
We are happy to offer 7SECONDS Detangler is a travel 2oz size and larger 8oz size bottle. We do not offer consumers a larger size option at this time.
Does this protect from heat from styling tools and to what temperature if so? Thank you
Hi Brittany, thank you for your question! Happy to share that 7SECONDS Detangler can add heat protection from heat tools up to 450 degrees. However, please note that because everyone's hair health will vary, we always recommend users be mindful of their own hair type and health before deciding which heat temperature they utilize for their heat tools. It can all depend on if you have thick or fine hair, use color or bleach, have very damaged hair, etc. These factors can help determine what temperature you utilize on your heat tools and if additional heat protectant is needed.
Why has the price of this product gone up so drastically? The last time I purchased it (which was August 2024) , I paid less than $30 for the 8oz. bottle. Now it's selling for $40. I know that inflation has impacted pricing on lots of things but this increase seems extreme.
