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 ca...

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...

Hair protection at its best
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Amika's protection for my hair is amazing. I have fine hair. And it appears to be smoother, silkier and have less frizz. I find this as being very valuable for the health of my hair. Not only does it protect it But it leads to less tangles, especially when brushing or washing my hair.
Great line, okay product
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Scent is great. I enjoy the weight of the product too - it doesn't feel like a heavy product at all. I focused on my ends and maybe my hair is just too damaged but it didn't necessarily bring it back to being super healthy.
Really nice!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It helped me greatly protecting my hair this summer from the heat outside and when blow drying. It allowed my color to last longer and my style which was great!
Drying
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Did not enjoy using this leave in at all. Was excited to use since i have bleached curly hair but it left my hair feeling dry immediately after applying. Usually my leave ins feel very soft and detaangle my hair easily but this leave in felt dry and knotted as soon as I tried to brush through my wet har that was just washed. The residue was also very watery and too lightweight for me.
More Shine and Healthier Looking Hair
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I've been using the spray for over a month and here's my honest review. I really enjoy using the spray before blow-drying my hair or using any heat tools for color-safe hair protection. It is also great to use when I'm trying to protect my hair when they feel dry. It doesn't take much; a little spray is more than enough to keep my hair looking shiny and polished. It is such an easy step to add to my hair routine to add a little shine before and after styling my hair. I've been using it every other day. It is definitely a product you want to have if you want to make your hair look shiny and healthy.
