amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask - 8 oz. Customer Reviews

I originally got to try this mask through my birchbox subscription, and it has literally been life-changing for me.

I have near-black hair naturally, that I inhumanely torture with 40v bleach, lightening it to a level 10. Then I batter and bruise it with toner, making it stark white. Afterwards, I'll sometimes leave it to think about what it's done to deserve such treatment. Or I might feel particularly inspired, and go at it again with some neon color or another. Every now and then, I'll scorch it with a curling iron because it makes me feel pretty.

When I'm done with my hair, it pretty much needs a triage center all its own, and that's basically what the Amika Nourishing Mask is. Just about every one of my female friends has commented at one point or another that they're shocked at how soft and bouncy my hair is, despite what I must put it through to get it lavender.. or silver.. or neon pink. Whenever one of my lady-friends needs help saving their hair, they come to me. And I send them to amika. I should seriously be making commission off my amika referrals by now.

In fact, if you - dear review reader - are in need of a hair-thirst quencher of the HIGHEST kind, I have a tried and proven tip for you. On a morning where you have nothing to do all day but sit around eating pizza and watching Netflix (don't try to front, we all do it), make a mixture composed of half amika, half coconut oil, and slather it on your dry hair. Pin it up, and get cozy. Leave that in all day (seriously.. all day. it'll look gross, maybe even ask the delivery guy to just leave the pizza on your porch and walk away), and then wash it as normal that evening.

You will awake to such glorious, soft, beautiful hair that the second you step out onto a busy street, it's pretty much a guarantee* that you'll be approached to pose for the cover of a cheesy romance novel.

This stuff smells amazing and makes my hair so soft. I love it! I wish the sample size was bigger

I've put my hair through some awful things but this hair mask helped reverse some of the damage. The mask smells great and leaves your hair feeling so soft and smooth.

Left my hair super soft. Can’t wait to see what my hair feels like in the morning.

For a mask that I didn't select myself, it works nicely with my thick wavy hair. I used this a lot this summer to both protect and enhance my hair's appearance. Great to feel my hair's health return

Unfortunately, this product and brand don't suit me.

I love pretty much anything by this brand, but their hair mask is a luxurious favorite. My color treated hair gets dry & coarse and this is my go to treatment for excellent hydration. Highly recommend and thank you, Birchbox, for the generous sample!
Always great to have a sample size on hand for travel!

Loved this mask, I've had it for a couple of months already and its still going strong with the sample size. You only need a tiny amount and it spreads perfectly on hair, leaving it smoother than ever before. Definitely a good investment.

This product smells nice & it went on my hair really nicely, a little goes a long way. My hair feels pretty nice, I still have a lot of frizz on top but it helped my ends

Wish the sample was larger to get better trial with longer hair. One use wasn’t enough to know if I wanted to purchase larger item.
