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...

Just ok, nothing mind blowing
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really wanted to love this shampoo and conditioner set. The packaging is pretty, streamline, and doesn't take up a lot of space in the shower. The scent is nice and light and doesn't clash with my perfume and lotion. The shampoo is grea...

Keeps my hair soft and my color fresh
This shampoo cleans my hair really well without leaving it feeling dry or stripped. My hair feels soft, smooth, and manageable after washing, and I love that it helps protect my color. It also gives my hair a healthy shine and makes it feel stronger. I would definitely continue using it.
Everything I Needed in a Shampoo
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Strengthens, color protects, and moisturizes! My hair desperately needs moisture shampoo, so this doing all 3 is amazing. I use this specifically after I color my hair and I have noticed color lasts longer without my hair feeling dry
Great color safe
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Overall I have liked Amika products and was excited to try a color safe line. That shampoo has a nice lather but I do tend to double wash. It leaves my hair feeling soft and not dry or damaged. I do wish it had a better smell, it doesn't have a bad scent but I didn't really like the smell. Maybe its meant to be fragrance free, I'm not sure but I do wish it had a prettier smell. The price compared to the bottle size is a little steep but it is considered a luxury brand and I do prefer this over my other shampoos. It always leaves my hair soft and shiny.
I would always buy this product
Delighted with this product, since my first wash with dyed hair I don't release any color, it s just what I was looking for because my dye is black and tends to release a lot off color.
Decent Shampoo
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I didn't notice much slip with this shampoo! However, after adding double the amount of shampoo I would normally use, it began to lather really well! My hair felt really clean, and color was still vibrant! Did feel somewhat drying when rinsed!
