There are A LOT of hair brands out there but one that I keep coming across is Amika hair products. So I did some investigation into the brand, their products, and if their products actually work.
A Little Background
Amika has always been clean and kind from the beginning. Their products are made without sulfates (SLS, SLES, ALS), parabens aluminum starch, are cruelty-free, their package is 100% recyclable, and their plastic bottles use up to 90% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics, and they give back and support HairToStay which helps cancer patients keep their while going through chemotherapy.
