Amika Velveteen Dream Smoothing Balm, 6.7 Fl Oz

I love this balm! It’s great to use to calm your hair even after it’s dry and it smells great! I use on my hair damp and it’s nice and light. Hair has pretty flow after blow dry with round brush!

My hairdresser recommended Amika products for my hair, she had recommended the normcore shampoo and conditioner which I also got, but I saw this smoothing balm and decided to give it a try. I am glad I did, after 1 washing, I am pleased with the results on my hair. It was particularly humid which my hair just frizzes right up normally and I was pleasantly surprised that it did not! I tend to wash my hair at night and even after sleeping on it, it stayed pretty well styled as well. I will continue to use this product. Scent is not overpowering and it is nice. Not my favorite scent, but not bad by any means.

This stuff is amazing! Fights frizz and is so soft to the touch!

adult male here . . . Age: young enough to know that one gets what one pays for (or something like that); old enough to know when I'm being price-gouged.On a perpetual search for a leave-in conditioner featuring the strangely elusive cherry bark, I finally spotted this Velveteen stuff and saw that cherry bark is a main ingredient. Good. Let's buy it -- gtf OUT!! $26.00 for a measly 6.7 oz.?? Not wanting to devote a whole morning for an online hunt, I caved and am now using it. This is a very, very good conditioner, balm, whatever. Doesn't smell like the Nature's Gate product, but just as unique and pleasant. Most importantly, it absolutely leaves my hair touch-soft and static free and with little to no trace of build-up. Only, there is one issue about this stuff that really irks me and another lesser one: yep. $26- for just 6.7 ounces. Someone should inform Amika-- or its distributor -- that it's okay to pluck that first nickel out from between its collective buttocks. Like, the sky won't fall and passersby won't spontaneously combust...hint, HINT. Amika should either knock at least 20% off the sky-high price or, at minimum, double the amount of product if they're so attached to the $26 price tag. As good as it is, I refuse to pay so much for so little. And...a premium price for a premium product needs to make a visual impression. The current yellow plastic bottles with the ridiculous cap needs to be scrapped.Great product + stingy (as in: stin-gee, miserly, etc.) company + poorly designed presentation = "I can spend less than half and get three times the amount of a nearly-as-good competitor's conditioner."

I bought this product with a gift card I had from Christmas. I usually don’t buy things that are expensive for my hair. Lol for a reason. It smells really nice but it’s really nothing special. I have to you it along another product that I typically use. I do like that it doesn’t make my hair greasy. If you have extra money to spend then buy it for the smell other than that I wouldn’t buy it again

Love this stuff! This is my third bottle and I’m not sure how I’d make it thru our insufferable IN summers without it! For reference: I have mid-length thick, somewhat coarse and wavy hair and this tames it so well!

I have colored hair that can be difficult sometimes. This product helps immensely.

I have wavy hair that will frizz in the humidity. My stylist used this on me and I loved the way my hair came out. I asked her which product she used. It was the Velveteen dream. Long story short I followed the directions and still had frizz. For that price I decided to return it. I does smell good!
