What the gurus are saying

This detangler earns consistent praise for making tangled hair much easier to comb through without leaving hair feeling sticky or weighed down, which matters especially for fine or limp hair. The spray bottle design makes it simple to coat hair evenly, and it doubles as a heat protectant up to 450 degrees. A little goes a long way, and the scent comes through as pleasant rather than overwhelming.

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

    The BEST Makeup & Skincare from June 2024!! 😍
    "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."

    "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."

    "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."

    "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."

    "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."

    "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."

    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.
