Mixed outcomes, dream routine is the best one

I have medium coarse hair that’s mostly straight, some parts are slightly wavy. I used the 4 products in conjunction with each other and also mix med and matched with other products to see how they’d perform. I found the shampoo to be a gentle and moisturizing cleanse like my hair felt softer in the shower already. But then when I use the conditioner over that, it becomes stiff and dry. I used the shampoo with other non amika conditioners and it’s ok, doesn’t feel dried out. The conditioner used with other shampoos still makes my hair stiff and dried out…the leave in hydro rush conditioner also left my hair awful. I don’t know why. I used it on damp hair and left to air dry. My hair dried to a stiff and super coarse texture with this. It felt much worse than before. My hair has not been dyed or bleached but I have accumulated some heat damage, not a ton. The dream routine is legit tho. Like I put it on dry hair and it instantly transformed it into softness. It just felt so unbelievably smooth. The shampoo is not terrible, I probably wouldn’t buy a full size… if it was a freebie sample I’d take it, 3/4 out of 5 stars bc it did what it said it would but not the greatest. The leave-in is 2/5 stars for me. Maybe it would work for someone else’s hair. The conditioner also left my scalp flaky with buildup within 2 days…so that’s 1/5…Dream routine is a solid 5/5 and I will be repurchasing that separately. I am glad I got a small amount of everything to try in this kit. It was a decent price and good amount of product to try out the hydro rush line.

WHERE IS THE MOISTURE?

Fine and way hair, prone to dryness and frizz. Used this one time with the hopes of adding some moisture and the results were abysmal as my hair was left feeling more dry and extra frizzy. The products did not provide any moisture. These product are more of a grouping of clarifying products that strip your hair. If you want your hair to look and feel fried, dried and should be laid to the side hair this is the product that will get you that look and feel. Worst!
