Nice leave in, but did not protect color

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I thought this was good as a leave in conditioner, but unfortunately I do not believe this offered the best color protection. I actually have noticed my hair getting lighter after using this and looking like I have highlights in my hair. I w...

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using the complete trio (Shampoo, Conditioner, and Leave-in Treatment) and my hair feels amazing! The shampoo lathers well without feeling stripping, and the conditioner leaves my hair incredibly soft and easy to detangle without weighing it down. The spray treatment adds a great layer of heat and UV protection while adding noticeable shine. My hair feels noticeably stronger with way less breakage, and my color hasn't faded or shifted at all. Plus, that signature Amika warm vanilla and citrus scent is unbeatable!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Amazing heat protectant spray!! This product has done a great job protecting my delicate blonde hair, I use before any heat, hair dryer, curler, etc. I have seen less breakage since using this spray. Super easy to use, the sprayer is great...it comes out as a light kind of misty spray, and the spray/nozzle had a great range of coverage. I appreciate the ergonomic style of this type of sprayer. So much easier to use than the traditional spray that you have to push from the top. The scent of this heat protectant spray is also very pretty and not over powering! I've used this product so much since receiving that i am almost out and need to buy a new one!!!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This hair strengthening treatment is great for those who want to protect the color and also the integrity of their hair while styling. It isnt heavy and leave residue. It makes my hair shiny enough without that. It gives my hair a smooth texture and doesnt irritate my scalp.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

An okay heat protection spray

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This was nice but I wish it was more moisturizing. If you are not heat styling everyday I don't think you need it. I didn't leave any heavy residue in my hair and was lightweight. They spray bottle is just fine not amazing.
