thicc volumizing base, 100ml | amika

I have been using this product for a while now and I absolutely love it. I’m gonna tell you right now one bottle should easily last you six months or longer.I went ahead and bought this bottle for my mother because I used some in her hair while I was visiting and she told me that her hair had not been that thick and full feeling since she was in her 20s.Now I have to say that I’ve read other reviews with people talking about their hair feeling sticky or heavy and that’s because you were not using it the proper way. And I would like to tell you the way to use this product. First of all I will tell you right now I do have thinner and finer; not as thin as my mothers but I do have thin hair and I use this every time I wash my hair this is a product that I just cannot imagine being without now.As I mentioned I originally got this first from my hair salon and tried it and the first time I used it yes I used too much it made my hair feel heavy and sticky and then I realized how I needed to use it properly.1. A little goes a long way.2. After showering and washing and conditioning your hair. You want to towel dry your hair a little.3. Get the product out and open it. You will want to leave it open for step four.4. Turn on your faucet wet your hands.5. With your hands damp you want to add a little bit of the product to just your index finger and your middle finger you’re definitely not going to want to use more than a dime size maybe just half of that at most; very little as I said goes a long way.6. With the product on your fingers and your hands moistened rub your hands together and rub your fingers together and then slowly start adding the product to your hair starting with the under side at the roots working into the roots of the rest of your hair and then run your fingers and hands through the rest of your hair7. Again it should not be sticky in your hands because your hands were moissed and once it’s all applied out of your hands then you can just rub your damp hands through your damp hair; comb or brush your hair when you’re done.8. Add any other hair product that you may need or want to add. I’d prefer to make this my last step for my hair personally but if you want to add a heat protectant after you’re welcome to do so or you can do it before adding this product.9. I do not like to air dry my hair with this product I prefer to just do a blowout, you can use your hairdryer or your brush air dryer.I know that seems like a lot of steps that I broke it down into but basically if you don’t want to read through all of those steps just know wash and and condition your hair keep it moist, after wet your hands add a little small amount of the product to your hands rub your hands together and slowly add it to your hair just kind of scrunching it for your hair and your roots brush it through. Then style your hair.Pretty simple.I will tell you right now that my hair always feels soft and natural but I can tell my hair is definitely thicker and has more volume to it when I use this.This is a great product if you know how to use it.

I have wavyish curlyish hair and i used a small squirt and ran it through wet hair and it styled it very well. My hair is usually frizzy and this helped it look cute but not weighed down. You can sleep on it, the smell is fine it smells like almost nothing like it doesn’t matter. I recommend this for girls who don’t know if they have wavy or curly hair!! this is for us!!

Works great but only downfall is you have to really watch how much you use or it makes your hair weighed down, greasy looking, and nasty gunky feeling. But it's an amazing product and smells great.

Great product and I love using it. First time to order it, and was very pleased. It was as described and in good shape upon delivery

I have shoulder length fine hair. I thought this stuff would give me volume like the woman on YouTube who advertised this product. I used nickel amount the first time and about a dime size the second time. After I blew out my hair both times, I had the same results. My hair felt HORRIBLE! It had this sticky, tacky, waxy, residue texture. I don’t know how else to explain it. I would never let my husband touch or try to run his fingers through my hair. He may never get his fingers back. He’d probably even ask when was the last time I washed my hair.Sorry, this stuff is a disappointment for my type of hair which is unfortunate because I need products that give me lift and volume.

Bought to add some texture to short hair. it does work, but it definitely is easy to overuse (hello, greasefest) and adds a LOT of heaviness, just like it says on the tin.So it works SUPER well, smells nice, and will last forever because you basically want to hold your head near a pea sized amount of the bottle and go from there. Seriously, the TINIEST amount of this stuff.

This product gives my hair the body I’m needing. I have short hair in the back and one side and longer on top. After blow drying I put a half inch of the product in my hands rub them together then apply to my hair where I want the body. Then style my hair with a pick and finish with hair spray. This hair product is my favorite.

The first I used this I was so disappointed. After blowing my hair dry, I couldn't believe how heavy & goopy it felt! The second time I used less thanhalf the amount & it was better! 3 times a charm using this product! My hair is fine so I don't need much! It really works. No smell.
