Top Pick: detangling spray

All 7 takes from Allie Glines

What I'd Actually Buy YOU at ULTA's 21 Days of Beauty

"This is Unite's 7-second detangler. It's their leave-in conditioner. This is heavy duty. So if you struggle hardcore with tangled hair, this is a really amazing quick, fast acting detangling spray that also works as like a heat protectant and a leave-in conditioner. So it's a little more substantial than another detangling spray I'm going to talk about. But it's one of my favorites. I absolutely love it. I've been using it for years. I used it I think yesterday when I washed my hair and I sprayed it through my hair, combed it out with my Tangle Teaser and it saves the day multiple times."

"This is the best detangling spray I've ever used and my hair tangles so quickly. A little goes a very long way. It also doubles as a heat protecting spray, which is great. It smells incredible."

The BEST Makeup & Skincare from June 2024!! 😍

"She was like it seems like you have the hair type that tangles really easily and I was like yes that's my hair type. And so before I left she was like make sure you're using like a heat protectant and this one also happens to be a detangler. So I initially bought it because she had recommended using a heat protectant spray before using any heat on my hair and then I fell in love with it even more after receiving it and using it a few times for its detangling powers because I really do have a hair type and texture that tangles really easily so this has worked miracles for me. I use it every single time I wash my hair. I'll spray it through like the midlength to the ends of the hair, brush out my tangles, and this combined with a tangle teaser, I'm unstoppable. There's no tangles that get in the way of that combo. So I really love this. I also love the smell. I'm really glad she told me about this."

"I bought this on a whim in my hairdressers after I'd been for a blow dry a few months ago. Unite 7 Seconds Detangler, I love it. I love it more than the original Evader Cescon spray. It smells lovely and it works a treat. The London water is hard as a brick so you have to go in with something that's a bit more detangling. I spray it with this and I brush through with my big yellow dry by paddle brush then I put a bit of this on and I'll go in a bun and I'm done."

"I have a small obsession with the Unite 7 Seconds Detangler. I have been talking about this product on this channel for years because it just is so consistently amazing and nothing has really topped it for me. Not only does it detangle your hair really well, it makes styling so much more easy because it reduces the breakage when you are brushing your hair and it has heat protection up to 450 degrees. It's like all the things I could want. I love that this is in a nice spray bottle, so it's really easy to get an even coat of my hair. And this is particularly good if you have fine or limp hair. I feel like a lot of heat protectants can make the hair feel oily or weigh it down. And this just keeps your hair having all the volume it was naturally going to have, but it also protects it and it doesn't feel sticky or gross afterward. I use it on my son. I use it on me. A lot of you have bought this for your kids after I recommended it because it's really good for like kid hair and it doesn't have like a really overwhelming scent. So for me, this always goes on damp towel dried hair. But sometimes when I take my hair out of my hair towel, it's kind of like clumped together and I'm worried about tangles. So, I will just sort of spray this through my hair and then I will go in with a wide tooth comb or sometimes even just my fingers to sort of rake out any knots or tangles and it helps so so much with that process."

"One of my Holy Grail heat protectant products is the Unite 7 Seconds Detangler because this not only acts as a heat protectant but it also is a UV radiation protectant and it acts as kind of like a leave-in conditioner so it's perfect if you have long or easily tangled hair. It's also what I use in my son's hair, he absolutely does not let me put conditioner in his hair in the bath but for some reason very much tolerates that spray. Compared to some of the other heat protectant products that I've used in the past I really like this one because it doesn't weigh my hair down at all, and again I have finer hair and I don't want to be putting anything in my hair that's going to make it look more weighed down or more heavy."

Why Your Hair Isn’t Growing: 5 Mistakes You’re Making | Dr. Sam Ellis

"One of my all-time favorite heat protectants is this Unite 7 Seconds Detangler. It's like a leave-in conditioner and a detangler and a heat protectant and UV protectant all in one. But I really like it because it's great if you have fine hair. When I talk about applying your heat protectant everywhere, you don't want something that's going to be weighing your hair down or making it super greasy, and I find that even the finest of hair has success with this one. That's something you're going to apply to damp hair after you shower or wash it, for example, before your first heat styling session."

"If you're hearing me talk about how to be gentle on your hair and you're like okay but my hair is very prone to tangle so I really do need to comb or brush through it then I totally recommend adding a detangler to your hair care routine. One of my all-time favorite detanglers and it's actually a UV protectant and a heat protectant as well is the Unite 7 Seconds Detangler. Every time I post about this on my Instagram I get so many DMs like I use this I love this. It is such a versatile product and I think really most people could benefit from having this in their hair care routine. I use this in a couple different ways. After I shower and I sort of have gently towel dried my hair I will just sort of spray it roots to ends and evenly distribute it. It's almost like a leave-in conditioner but much lighter but it still leaves that nice shine on the hair and then you can let your hair air dry or you can heat style it afterward. This also can be applied to dry hair and I really like to do this if you're going swimming or you're going in the ocean where your hair is going to be exposed to things like salt water and UV damage which can also be problematic or chlorine. You essentially just spray it on dry hair, your hair is going to be getting wet anyway and it acts as a protectant."

"The heat protectant that I have been loving lately is the Unite 7 Seconds Detangler. I honestly haven't met anyone that is not a fan of this particular heat protectant. This product has so many fans and I am one of them. Something I particularly like about this heat protectant is that it feels very lightweight on the hair, it doesn't weigh my hair down, and it doesn't make it look greasy. If you're someone who has fine or thinner hair and maybe you've avoided these types of products in the past because you're worried they're going to weigh your hair down or make you look greasy, maybe give this one a go."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
