As we head into summer, there are several things to look forward to, such as firing up the grill for a cookout and slathering on sunscreen for a trip to the beach. One of the few things that’s not so great about this time of year in many locales? The humidity and how it can turn hair into a frizzy disaster. So, when I saw that sales for Amika’s The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray had skyrocketed on Amazon, I was intrigued — could it really be the answer to my smooth summer hair prayers?
To determine if it’s worth “adding to cart,” I looked closer at this anti-frizz hair product from Amika, learning about how it works and reading through the thousands of reviews. Below, find out more about this product that has seen sales increase by more than 1,000% in the last week on Amazon — and decide if you want to jump on the buying bandwagon, too.
This multitasking spray acts as a protectant for heat styling up to 450 degrees, has UV filters to prevent the sun from damaging strands and keeps frizz at bay for up to 24 hours, according to the brand. It is intended for use on both damp and dry hair, prior to heat styling. It can also be applied to previously styled hair to extend the longevity of your look. In addition to protecting hair and combating frizz, the formula contains sea buckthorn, which is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that nourish and strengthen both your hair and scalp, according to Amika.
The spray, which has a 4.3-star average rating from 4,194 reviews on Amazon, comes in a 5.3-ounce aerosol can with continuous misting capabilities. It also has Amika’s signature scent, which is a blend of vanilla, rose, sandalwood, orchid and grapefruit.
