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...

Care for colored hair

Submitted 28 days ago

By Eli

From Washington

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The amika color protect + strengthen treatment has a nice nozzle. It sprayed evenly throughout my hair without leaving it greasy or weighed down. It helped reduce tangles and made my hair much easier to brush though. Overall, it left my hair feeling smoother and more manageable.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Amazing

Submitted 29 days ago

By Liv

From Michigan

I have been using this product for about three months, overall this product is amazing! The packaging is so cute and the product smells so good. I use this product and blow dry my hair afterwords and have not had any breakage. I will say I am still trying to find a happy medium of how much of this product to use. Too much makes my hair feel dirty quicker, but not enough and I am left without much volume. When the right amount is applied I can go every other day or two days between washing and styling stays put. Although I received this product as a free sample, I will be purchasing when I run out.

Softens brittle blonde hair

Submitted 29 days ago

By Fo

From MidAtlantic

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] My heavily colored thick hair was immediately softened on the first use. The leave in treatment smells pleasant, the formula sprays evenly and isn't clogged in the spray nozzle. The bottle itself feels ergonomically designed. I notice less flyaways, split ends and breakage after weeks of continuous application. My hair doesn't feel weighed down and greasy, which is something I look for in a hair styling product. I believe my hair is stronger looking and my ends look thick enough for me to push my hair trimming appointments. If you're looking to grow out your hair, this product will assist.
