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 ...

A Must-Have for Color Treated Hair!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Amika's "The Protector" Color Protect + Strengthen Treatment Spray has quickly become a staple to my hair routine! I spritz it onto clean, damp hair after the shower, comb it through and usually let my hair dry before styling as usual. I love that it's a leave-in treatment, so there's no extra step or rinsing required. It helps preserve my color and fight fading, while also leaving my hair feeling stronger. I especially love that it helps reduce discoloration from chlorine - such a must-have during the summer! If you have color treated hair and spend a lot of time under the sun and by the pool, this is definitely something you'll want to keep on hand!
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!
Love a good strengthening spray!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this strengthen treatment! I use it on wet hair and dry hair. It has definitely made my natural hair feel stronger and protected my color wig. It smells great, however after a week, half the bottle is gone.
No significant difference
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The treatment smells very nice, doesn't make my hair greasy or weighted down which I was concerned about. Not sure what it does for color protection since I didn't notice much of a difference in how my color washes out. Would probably not repurchase since I don't see a significant difference for me to justify the price
Great
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really liked this product. I appreciate that it's a leave in as well as a heat protectant. I found that it worked well on my fine hair and didn't leave a residue on my hair, it absorbed right in! The fine mist is wonderful. I do think it's helped protect my hair during heat styling as well.
