Here is some really shiny hair. This is air-dried and no shine serum or spray on it. I just used the Amika The Closer cream on it.
I’m having a good hair day and it took me a minute to figure out why, but it has to be because I used these new Amika Kure products.
Bond-building technology seems to be everywhere these days and Amika’s The Kure collection is part of that trend. The Kure shampoo and conditioner ($29 each) have been reformulated so that they’re vegan now. They are rich and super hydrating, leaving my hair tame and shiny. Because the whole collection is vegan, there’s actually no keratin in the line so it won’t make your hair brittle, but it does aim to repair the hydrogen bonds that are more prone to break.
Of all the products I tried (the 4 in the picture above), I love The Closer cream ($33) is amazing and I am for sure going to repurchase that when it’s finished because I’m going through so much of it. It really separates my curls and makes my hair so shiny. Kind of amazing. It’s a small bottle for $33 but worth it. I’m using more than a dime-sized on my hair because my hair is a little dry and porous.
I’ve used the products for about a month now and I love them. You can get the Repair Treatment and The Closer cream as a set from Sephora for $37 and I recommend that because then you can try them both together. Of the whole collection, these two products are probably the ones that are really going to help repair the broken bonds in your hair. It seems like you’re only getting 10mL of The Closer Cream, whereas a full size is 60mL. I am waiting for them to bring out a 200mL size because that’s the amount that my hair needs.
Like any treatment, the results don’t last forever, and I find that I have to do the treatment about every other shampoo if I want the results to last. You can also use it as a leave-in conditioner.
You can normally find Amika products on Amazon, but right now these are only available at Sephora.
