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...

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...

Would buy this again
This is the best shampoo and conditioner I have ever tried! It makes my hair so shiny and smooth! I will definitely be buying this from now on. And you dont need much

Would buy again!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] First things first, the scent is amazing! I absolutely appreciate how spread out it sprays and it's not just in a stream line. It applies like a nice mist and I can evenly distribute throughout my hair. I have noticed such a difference in my hair with how it lays, drys, and styles. My hair smells like this product LONG after the initial spray. I can appreciate great smelling hair. Aside from that, I have noticed that my hair color is less brassy and has helped my natural colors show!
Great
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Great for your hair. It makes my hair feel so silky soft and it's great to know it helps protect my hair from heat and I can use my heat tools as much as I want with it. Scent is great

Great Hair Protector + Strengthener
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Amika The Protector + Strengthen Treatment is another wonderful product from this brand. My hair looked and felt so much healthier. There is a very light not overpowering scent and not feeling of residue buildup on your hair. My hair is left shiny and silky.






Colored hair? buy this!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I loveee Amika! Always part of my hair routine! This in particular has done very well to preserve my hair color. I've noticed that my hair looks shinier and doesn't feel as brittle (especially since being bleached). The smell is amazing: nice fresh and clean scent. It's also nice that it serves as a heat protector!
