hi hi everyone, I hope all is well. Today I have another Amika product review and Im talking about the very popular the wizard silicone free detangling primer.
This is a lightweight primer that helps to detangle whilst offering heat protection up to 230 degrees.
Experience
I came across this last year on TT and decided to try it as at the time I was already using the hydrorush line and loved it. I use this on wash days only, before leave in conditioner for blow-drying. It comes out in a fine mist and doesn’t leave the hair sticky or weighed down when blowdried. I absolutely love the scent of this, it reminds me of the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 body mist, its a lingering scent but it disappears after blowdrying. What I find weird though is that it kind off foams/ lathers up in the hair like when you don’t completely rinse out your shampoo and some of the lather is left behind lol. Again this goes away after blowdrying and it doesnt leave any flakes.
It pairs well with other products. I layer about 3 products when blowdrying: a blowdry primer/mist, leave in and a serum and I have had 0 issues with flakes or pilling and I usually very generous with this. I also haven’t experienced any heat damage since I’ve been using this. In terms of slip for detangling, I can detangle with it after washing but the slip it provides isn’t the same as a conditioner but it works just as well. I can get a wide comb and brush through my hair easily.
Verdict
I love this product. I’ve gone through 3 bottles in the last year and half: 1 full sized 1 mini size and a deluxe sample size that came in a gift set. I will definitely recommend for 4c natural hair. I have fine 4c medium to high porosity hair and its worked really well. I’m currently using the Amika frizz me not treatment and will be back for a review on that
did you know Boots sell Amika? you can get the wizard and lots more Amika products at Boots!
