How can Urban Elements Hair Polish best used with long, curly hair?
Use Urban Elements Hair Polish to create high gloss on curly hair. Distribute a lightweight gel such as Urban Elements Liquid Texture to fresh, clean hair.
Use a diffuser and scrunching motion with fingers to optimize the natural shine and curl. Once hair is dry, take a small section- about a quarter of an inch and apply a fingertip amount of Urban Elements Hair Polish. Rather than pulling the hair straight- wrap the hair around your finger to sustain the curl.
Release the curl and see your hair full of shine and bounce.

Be LongTM - Long Hair Formula
Why does Be LongTM Need a Special Product Line?
Long hair does have special needs. As hair ages, it suffers from moisture loss, resulting in faded color, fragile ends that are more prone to breaking, splitting and lack of shine. L'anza Be LongTM products address these special needs.
What Makes Be LongTM Products Special?
All four Be LongTM products contain Arginine PCA, an essential amino acid for hair and scalp. It penetrates into the scalp and helps create the perfect environment for hair growth. Arginine PCA protects the surface of the hair and helps prevent discoloration caused by the sun. Cleanse and Condition contains Panthenol, to build body and restore essential moisture. These ingredients work with L'anza's exclusive Keratin Bond System to replenish the hair's inner protein structure, leaving the hair with incredible strength and integrity. That means less breaking and fewer split ends.
Will My Hair Grow Longer As A Result of Using Be LongTM?
Thanks to Arginine PCA, the scalp's potential for developing healthy hair is optimized. It increases circulation, aids in cell rejuvenation and moisturizes both the hair and the scalp, resulting in accelerated hair growth.
How much time will all this take?
Be LongTM is a simple maintenance regimen that takes less than 5 minutes. Shampoo like normal with Cleanse, then apply Strengthen and leave in for 3 minutes. Follow with Condition, rinse out after 1 minute, or leave it in. After towel drying hair, apply ProtecShine and style as usual.
Are The Results Instant?
Noticeable hair growth will take time, but you will instantly see hair become shinier, with added comb ability, renewed strength and remarkable body.
Who Will Use Be LongTM?
