Hello Gorgeous!
I first learned about Amika products when I tested the hair oil-filled with sea buckthorn berry and enriched with argan oil. I loved the scent, feel and results I had in my slightly wavy always bratty hair. The Labor Day weekend brought alot of sun, running, biking ,swimming in chlorine and basic fun and mayhem with my family.
I was so excited to see my sample arrive just in time to glop up my hair in the Amika nourishing hairmask and put a baggy on it to sit for 15 minutes and relax. The instructions say 5 minutes, but wait-a little is good, some more is better so surely that means alot more is best! Off came the baggy from my hair and when I rinsed it I could just feel the fatness of my hair strands! Like each one had been fed a big dose of vitamins!
If I was really thinking, and not fried from the excessive heat warning in Arizona-I would have taken a before picture. Sorry about that.
Don't take my word for it-get your own at www.loveamika.com or Sephora.com or HSN.com !
