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 incorporating this color protector into my routine for a few weeks now, and I love the addition! I have colored hair with some damage, and I've found this product to help with maintaining the health and color of my hair. I use it on damp hair, whether or not I air dry or blow dry. My hair has felt moisturized and looks healthier overall while using this.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I like using it when I'm using my airstraightener… my hair feels like it absorbs the product well and the scent of it is pretty long-lasting, so it doubles up as somewhat of a hair mist!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] WOW the smell, first of all. It smells almost like perfume for your hair. Just faint enough, not overpowering, but so feminine and amazing. My hair smelled amazing until my next wash. I have very long, mostly straight hair and Amika made my hair so smooth and manageable. I do color my hair, and my color seemed to stay even and shiny. LOVE this stuff!
