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...

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.
Color protect
The scent smells like flowers ! You apply on damp hair and style ! I love how soft my hair is and how good my hair smells ! I just recently colored my hair and this product came in just in perfect timing !
Lightweight spray
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I like that this protectant spray is very very lightweight. It doesn't have that thicker "leave in conditioner" type of texture, so it's easier to use on your roots to allow for better protection against fading and heat damage.
Protects against heat and color fade
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I spray this on the length of my hair before using a hair dryer or a hot iron. It leaves my hair feeling and looking very soft. The smell of the product reminds me of baby powder and it is long lasting. This heat spray is clinically proven to shield against UV, copper + chlorine so that your color doesn't fade as fast. I have noticed a huge difference as I color my hair a shade of red. Overall, a nice product to have for heat protection and color fade.
Great Performance, Okay value
The Amika Protector hair spray is a good option if you're looking to spend a little more on hair care. It has a light, clean scent and offers heat protection as well as color protection. First pics are from immediately after the dye, and the last is 2 months out. I followed my regular maintenance routine and The Protector every time I washed my hair. While it definitely doesn't replace regular maintenance (cold washing, dye safe shampoo, etc.) I found it does help retain some of the vibrancy for longer. It also leaves hair feeling smooth and very lightly tacky before fully dry which helps with styling. Overall a little pricey, but can be a good addition if you style your hair often or have very light or saturated colors.
