Best thing ever
Makes my fine hair so soft but not weighed down

Best heat protection
I feel like I've tried dozens of heat protectants and none of them come anywhere near this one. It doesn't weigh your hair down, has a pleasent smell and does a great job at preventing heat damage. I would even say it makes your hair smoother and softer when styling it. Highly recommend

Smells amazing
Firstly, the smell is very addicting. Secondly, I love the texture of this. It does not leave my hair greasy AT ALL. The only downside is that I have to use 10 pumps to cover my hair, I have thick, waist length hair, so the product runs out quickly. But may hair feels super soft, and does not weigh it down or make it look oily, despite how much I use.

Brilliant for re straightening when hair is dry
I love this, I hate using a “wet” spray to dampen my dry hair only to restyle. An oil based light serum or a dry oil spray works so much better on preventing damage to my bleached hair. This I’ve used for a few weeks now and as I only restyle a couple of times before a hair wash, I find it perfect for protecting but not weighing my hair down - nor do I find it makes my hair greasy looking like some other reviews stated.

Amika Blockade Heat Defense serum
I love this serum, I apply two pumps to my hand and massage through hair before I use my hair straighteners, I have noticed such a difference in the shine and overall healthiness of my hair that I never noticed before using this serum. Smells so nice and leaves my hair smelling dreamy and feeling smooth. Will definitely be buying again the second my current one runs out.

Lovely serum, does work
Leaves my hair feeling shiny and protected. I have medium thickness hair which is longer than shoulder length and find that 2 pumps is good for my hair (frizzy/wavy). If you use too much, it can give a slightly greasy feel but doesn’t look it! Leaves a sleek feeling when blow dried. Have repurchased!
