Barrier and heat protection
Amika “the shield” works as a lightweight, invisible spray that creates a surface barrier on each strand to reduce moisture intrusion and thermal stress during styling. The product is clinically proven to protect hair against frizz and humidity for 24+ hours, helping styles hold better through Oviedo’s humid subtropical conditions without adding weight.
Because it’s a styling spray rather than a repair treatment, results depend on how it’s used with your routine. It protects while you style and helps extend the look, but it isn’t a substitute for deep-conditioning or corrective salon services when hair needs reconstruction or moisture treatments.
Salon application and timing
At Lavish Touch Of Colors, your stylist applies the spray as part of a focused styling session. The service is scheduled as a 60-minute appointment so we can assess hair, apply the product appropriately, and finish your style. Expect a quick consultation about your daily routine and any products you already use so we can recommend the best application approach.
The spray leaves an invisible finish meant to work with blow-drying or heat styling to extend your look. For many Oviedo clients—commuters and UCF students who face humid afternoons—this treatment helps styling survive long days and brief outdoor exposure, especially during our busiest months of June, July and August.
Choosing this spray seasonally
Select Amika “the shield” when humidity or frequent temperature changes are affecting your style. In Oviedo’s hot, humid summers and during rainy spells, the clinically proven 24+ hour humidity protection is particularly useful for keeping frizz down between washes and maintaining a smoother daily appearance without extra weight.
If you rely on multiple styling products, tell your stylist: layering can change feel and performance. Our team will advise whether to use the spray alone or in combination with your preferred creams or serums, balancing hold, finish and how your hair responds to humidity and routine heat styling.
