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...

Excellent Color & Heat Protection

Submitted 1 month ago

By TINANFLA

From South FL

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Amika The Protector spray is fantastic. I've been using this product since I colored my hair and I definitely see how it helped me keep my color vibrant. I also straighten my hair everyday and it has helped as a heat protectant. The product itself has a light pleasant scent. The sprayer itself sprays a fine mist which I appreciate. Overall I would recommend this product,

Easy to use; builds and protects

Submitted 1 month ago

By Sandra

From Danvers, MA

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] My hair is thick and can be wavy and frizzy, and I really like it to look smooth. I also put a lot of heat on it, so a thermal protectant is important. Particularly because I have colored hair as my hair would be gray. I found this product easy to use and smells good. It definitely builds on the hair, so if your hair is thin, I think it would feel good and help provide some body.

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. (Incentive)I have really damaged hair from taking GLP1. My hair is thinning and breaking and this product and the collection really helped strengthen it. It was easy to use and didn't have any strong smell it was very settle. I would recommend this product.
