Gave my locks new life!

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...

A color-protecting hair treatment designed to help strengthe
I love how this treatment focuses on keeping colored hair looking healthy and vibrant. It's a great addition to a hair care routine, especially if you want to protect your color while helping your hair feel stronger and smoother. The idea of getting color care and strengthening benefits in one product is amazing.
Great for heat protection and detangling
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This was a nice product for heat protection and for detangling hair. It smells great and isn't heavy on your hair, unless you use too much. It sprays easily without making a mess. I spray a couple of times on my thick color treated hair and comb through, then style as usual. I like how it doesn't make my hair feel sticky and it reduces frizz. After styling my hair, it feels soft and smooth.
Lightweight color protection
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Amika the protector Color Protect + Strengthen treatment is a lightweight spray that helps to protect your hair from fading and helps to keep color-treated hair vibrant. Offering heat protection up to 450 degrees, damage from UV rays, chlorine, and more. Preventing color fade for up to 40 washes while also strengthening strands and keeping hair color looking vibrant. I applied this to my fine, thin hair after using the protector shampoo and conditioner. I allowed my hair to air dry, and it left my hair feeling soft with more body and natural wave. I really like the scent of this; it is a very perfume-like scent that is fruity, floral, but warm. My hair looked healthier, shiny, and strands felt smooth and overall more manageable with less frizz. I love a nice leave-in treatment like this that helps to prevent fading and damage to my strands in more ways than one. I am glad to add this to my hair care routine.
Great protection and wonderful finish!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product is non greasy, really does protect your hair! My hair is frizzy and I highlight it so damage protection is a must for me. These pictures are after a blow dry only. I'm amazed! And the scent is nice, similar to other products from this brand. Definitely recommend!
I like this!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I liked the smell of this. It didn't leave my hair feeling weighted or greasy. It seemed to help stop the burn smell when I used my flat iron too. I didn't get that fried hair aroma.... Which was nice. It gave me a sense of relief that it was protecting my hair. Out of the 3 products that came in the set, this is one that I would absolutely buy again. My teen that tried the shampoo and conditioner tried this one too, and really liked it. Now we fight whose room it's going to stay in!
