Smooth, shiny hair in just one pass without weighing it down
Smooth, shiny hair in just one pass without weighing it down As someone with fine, frizzy hair, I'm always looking for products that make styling easier. Usually, I have to go over each section with my flat iron several times, and the frizz still comes back. After washing my hair, I applied this sp...

Inoffensive smell, unsure of effectiveness
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] First, the good: I am quite sensitive to scents and usually prefer hair and body items that don't have an overpowering fragrance, and amika's color protect + strengthen treatment spray's scent is inoffensive. Now the okay: I have been using ...

Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The spry was good on protection of the hair especially with it being summer and I'm always outside. I dye my hair a lot so the color protection was also great I just dyed My hair brown. Hair stayed soft and moisturized
My hair feels softer and stronger
I really like how this treatment leaves my hair feeling soft, smooth, and healthy without weighing it down. It adds a beautiful shine and makes my hair feel stronger with less breakage. I also appreciate the added color protection since I want to keep my color looking fresh. It is easy to use and fits perfectly into my hair routine. I would definitely keep using it.
I would buy this product again
I am absolutely in love with this product! As someone with color-treated hair, finding a treatment that keeps my shade vibrant while actually making my hair feel stronger is a miracle. It's incredibly lightweight, so it doesn't weigh my hair down at all, and it leaves my strands feeling unbelievably soft, smooth, and full of healthy shine. Plus, like all amika products, it smells absolutely amazing. It gives me peace of mind knowing my hair is protected from heat styling and daily environmental faders. Definitely a new staple in my routine!
Greasy
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This leave in left a greasy residue in my hair after using, even with heat styling afterwards. I had to rewash with a clarifying shampoo after using, otherwise my hair looked greasy and felt sticky. Maybe it would work best in coarse hair
Must have
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This Amika color protectant and strengthening treatment is amazing! I usually have very frizzy hair after blow-drying but this spray helped calm it down. It does not weigh my hair down or make it feel heavy. I love the bottle because it has a locking mechanism to prevent spillage.
