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...

Great product
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've used a lot of amika products and this one is by far my favorite. My hair feels extra moisturized and soft. I also have colored hair and I can tell it doesn't strip the color
Gave my locks new life!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Amika color protect + strengthen treatment overall exceeded my expectations. Not all products agree with my hair but this one I will be buying repeatedly. I want to start by saying how amazing this smells. I am huge on scents and I cannot stop sniffing while I am spraying this into my hair (and even then after) it smells extremely good. When rinsing my hair before washing I do not notice any buildup or residue that washes out before shampooing. I had a baby a year ago and had a lot of breakage and I can excitedly say this has helped my hair look and feel not only softer but also healthier. I spray it on after a shower ( I haven't even needed conditioner) then rub it into my scalp and length and I can easily comb my hair right after. Leaving no knots or ouchies while combing. It detangles my hair effortlessly. My daughter will steal it off of me to use all the time! Unlike my daughter's hair, my hair is an odd texture if I use too much on my hair it will leave a slight oily residue but I quickly learned how much to use where it is the perfect amount for my hair helping it to look and feel like it has a new life. I look forward to making the Amika color protect and strengthening treatment my new best friend.
Super moisturizing
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Love this one so much, it's very effective. I use it as a leave in conditioner and it works so well I don't even need conditioner after I use this. Super moisturizing too.
A good all around protection spray
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As someone with color treated hair in red which is the toughest to keep bright anything that provides protection is a big bonus. It's hard to tell how much this prevented fading versus other products but I did find it did a good job at protecting my hair and preventing frizz. The nozzle and application method makes it easy to coat the hair. I like the scent but it is quite strong which may be an issue if you're sensitive to fragrance.
Anika treatment
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This spray treatment has help my hair not too have so much breakage! I also really like that it's a heat protector. It absorbs nicely and doesn't leave my hair looking or feeling greasy. Smells good too.
