The velveteen dream smoothing balm from the manufacturer is an ideal styling agent for dry, frizzy or unmanageable hair of all types. It helps tame frizz into submission and locks in soft-smoothness, so humidity cannot undo the hairstyle you've created.

The key benefits of this product include:

Conditioning polymer – smooths, moisturizes and provides antistatic properties. Wild cherry bark extract – brings out shine and softness. Protects hair up to 450°F/232°C and against UV rays.

The velveteen dream smoothing balm is safe for color-treated, Brazilian-treated and Keratin-treated hair. It is formulated without sulfates, sodium chloride, parabens and artificial colors.

amika products are straightforward, dependable, and enjoyable to use - like a good friend. The brand is particularly fond of the 'super-fruit' Sea Buckthorn Berry (also known as Obliphica), which is included in every haircare and styling product. Sea Buckthorn contains over 190 biologically active compounds, including high concentrations of the rare Omega-7, as well as abundant Vitamin C, A, and E.

In addition to the velveteen dream smoothing balm, amika offers the following products:

The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray: Proven to provide anti-frizz protection for up to 24 hours. Also offers heat protection up to 450°F and UV ray protection. Formulated with Hydrolyzed Keratin to repair and restore moisture, elasticity, luster and smoothness.

Silken Up Dry Conditioner: Infused with rich vitamins like Panthenol (Provitamin B5) to promote and restore hair's resilience, protect against breakage, reduce split ends, smooth and strengthen.

All amika products are formulated without MIT/MCI, artificial colors, formaldehydes, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, triclosan, aluminum, talc, and have less than one percent synthetic fragrances. They are vegetarian-friendly and cruelty-free.

To use the velveteen dream smoothing balm, apply a small amount to damp hair and heat style as desired. For the anti-humidity spray, shake the can and lightly spray on damp or dry hair before heat styling. With the silken up dry conditioner, shake well, hold 8 inches away and spray onto dry hair from mid-length to ends, then brush through. For extra smoothing, lightly spray each section of dry hair before blow drying with a round brush.

The velveteen dream smoothing balm pairs well with amika's Velveteen Dream Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner, which help smooth and protect hair against humidity. The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray is a must-have product to fight frizz-inducing humidity.

amika was founded in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2007 by industry outsiders who believe in an idiosyncratic and individual version of beauty, rather than unattainable perfection. The brand also focuses on sustainability, with small changes in product size and weight leading to lower carbon emissions through their Compact by Design initiative.
