velveteen dream smoothing balm | tames frizzy hair, styling cream with heat protection & UV filters

I used to use Eufora straightening balm, but like many other products I like, they seemed to have discontinued it. The Amika works just as well. It is creamy and light, with a pleasant, light smell. A quarter size dollop on damp hair is just enough to help smooth down my natural waves..with help of a hair dryer and round brush- of course. It also doesn't weigh down my fine hair like some other products can. Will continue to buy.

Great product that manages hair friz plus it smells great

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."

Makes my hair soft. Good for styling.

No matter if I straighten my hair or wear it naturally this stuff works. It’s lightweight and smells like heaven. Gets all my fly aways!

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.

Amica products tend to be excellent. This balm works great to hydrate my hair, makes brushing easy....even when wet, and i often let my hair air dry and this balm is perfect for that!

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!

I absolutely love this Amika Velvet Cream! It smells sooo good and leaves my hair feeling soft, smooth, and supple. A little goes a long way, and it doesn’t make my hair greasy or heavy. My hair looks healthy and hydrated after every use. I love it so much and would definitely love to try more Amika products!

Honestly, this is a miracle treatment for unruly curls and frizz. Not sure I can ever live without it now.

En amour avec Amika! Odeur divine et qualité de produit!

Lightweight. Non greasy. Smells lovely. Great for smoothing hair when styling.

I love all amika products, this is one of my faves. It smells so lovely. I prefer this over a hairspray to tame fly aways and add moisture without making my hair feel crunchy!
