Smooth, shiny hair in just one pass without weighing it down
Smooth, shiny hair in just one pass without weighing it down As someone with fine, frizzy hair, I'm always looking for products that make styling easier. Usually, I have to go over each section with my flat iron several times, and the frizz still comes back. After washing my hair, I applied this sp...

Inoffensive smell, unsure of effectiveness
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] First, the good: I am quite sensitive to scents and usually prefer hair and body items that don't have an overpowering fragrance, and amika's color protect + strengthen treatment spray's scent is inoffensive. Now the okay: I have been using ...

2 in 1, color protect and strengthen
I received this item complimentary in exchange for my honest review. The Amike protector color protect + strengthen treatment is just what my hair needed. After several rounds of bleaching and dying my hair, my hair was left feeling weak, dry and brittle. I was scared to blow dry it and risk damaging it further. I used the Amika color protect treatment and not only does is smell amazing, but it made my hair feel so smooth and soft. It's lightweight and doesn't weigh my hair down like an oil or cream would. I spray it all through my hair, brush it through and then blow dry it. The results are amazing and it lasts! This is my hair after blow drying and getting caught in the rain briefly! Still super smooth while protecting my color. A little goes a long way and the value is great since the bottle is a good size. I also really like the spray application.
Florally fresh heat protection
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this. The combination of using all of it at the same time, the shampoo, conditioner, and spray, really makes a difference. The smell is delicious, and truly seems to protect my hair from my blow-dryer. It gives a nice glossy shine... But it does flatten out pretty fast. The smell remains throughout the day and is very floral and fresh. I will buy this to use!
Ok product
This was an easy to use product and the nozzle worked great in distributing the product. It felt nice to apply, however I didn't really notice much of a difference even though I issued it for over a month.
Ok prodi
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Small amount goes a long way. It was absorbent but it left my hair feeling heavy and greasy. It was good for breakage. I wouldn't recommend for anyone with oily hair.
Great heat protection
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I used the Amika The Protector color protect + strengthen treatment spray before blow drying my hair everyday. It helped protect my hair from heat damage due to blow drying and using heat tools everyday. It did not weigh down my hair. It did however sometimes get my roots looking greasy so I avoided spraying it on my roots. I definitely love the scent of it. My hair felt smooth and less frizzy after using this. The color protection is an added bonus to protect my balayage. I loved the lock mechanism on the packaging that prevents leaks allowing me to pack it with me on vacation or the gym.
