The Amika Velveteen Dream Smoothing Balm 200ml is a conditioning styling balm that tames frizz, locks in softness and keeps humidity from undoing your style. Lightweight enough for all hair types but powerful enough for dry, unruly hair that needs real control, it smooths and conditions as it styles — all while protecting against heat up to 450°F.
- Smoothing balm for dry, frizzy and unmanageable hair
- Conditioning polymer smooths, moisturises and eliminates static
- Wild cherry bark extract boosts shine and softness
- Heat protection up to 450°F and UV filters to protect colour
- Safe for colour, Brazilian and keratin-treated hair
What does the Amika Velveteen Dream Smoothing Balm do?
It tackles frizz and humidity at the same time — the conditioning polymer smooths the hair cuticle and provides antistatic properties that stop flyaways before they start, while wild cherry bark extract adds a natural shine and softness that goes beyond what most smoothing balms deliver. Built-in UV filters protect colour-treated hair from fading, and the heat protection up to 450°F means it doubles as a thermal protector before blow-drying or straightening. For anyone with frizzy or unmanageable hair, it's the kind of product that makes a noticeable difference from the first use.
How do you use the Amika Velveteen Dream Smoothing Balm?
Work a small amount through damp or dry hair from mid-lengths to ends before styling, focusing on the areas most prone to frizz. Use before blow-drying for a smooth, polished finish or apply to dry hair for an instant frizz-fighting touch-up. It pairs well with the Amika Top Gloss Shine Spray as a finishing step, or explore the full Amika collection on site.
