Love Amika Products; would buy again and again
I have 1A hair that's fine, straight, and highlighted, so it tends to be on the drier side. Because of that, I'm really picky about hair products; anything too heavy will weigh my hair down and make it look greasy much faster. I was excited to receive this shampoo and conditioner because I'm alread...

Huge disappointment
I was really exited to use this entire line of shampoo, conditioner, and leave in after getting my hair colored. I use Amika products almost exclusively and particularly love the big hit line. So when I used this, I was expecting more. When I say this made my hair feel awful...I mean, I had to rewas...

Light and clean
I received this product in exchange for an honest review. I've been using this for about a month and it's been great for my thick, color-treated hair. It cleans really well without leaving my hair feeling stripped or dry, and doesn't weigh it down at all. I've been using it throughout the summer with lots of sun and time in the water, and my color has stayed noticeably fresh. I'm really happy with how my hair looks and feels.
Decent color protecting shampoo
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a good shampoo. The scent is very enjoyable but not too strong. It left my hair feeling clean, but not dry. The packaging is cute, but it is difficult to get the last of the product out of the bottle.
Great product
Effective cleansing shampoo that straightens and strengthens hair. Great sent scalp treatment fantastic and super easy to wash out leaving no residue
Decent shampoo, but nothing special
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This shampoo was alright. I had apply it twice to get my hair feeling clean at all, sometimes even three times. It didn't dry out my scalp or make my color fade which is a plus.
My favorite shampoo!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I use this shampoo regularly and absolutely love it! My hair feels soft, lightweight, and so silky with beautiful shine. It's a great addition to my hair routine for colored hair. And love the Amika unique scent!
