Je L'aime Amino Amazing Sleek Line:
KOSE Je L'aime Amino Amazing Sleek Shampoo
KOSE Je L'aime Amino Amazing Sleek Treatment (Conditioner)
KOSE Je L'aime Amino Amazing Sleek Treatment Mask
KOSE Je L'aime Amino Deep Repair Algae Mask
The Amino Amazing sleep like claims to make even damaged and tangled hair smooth and lustrous.
I must say that overall, these products definitely did do a great job at making my hair smooth, detangled, and less frizzy in the humid Singaporean weather!
I had dyed my hair again and gotten highlights in early November, so my hair by December had started to get a bit dry and tangled. In Singapore's humid hot weather, I found my hair looking very frizzy and not smooth looking or feeling. After using all these products for a month, I'm excited to tell you about a few of my new favourite products!
I personally LOVE that they are Sulfate free, non-alcohol and no mineral oils! One of my hair goals were to stay away from sulfate as they tend to wash out the colour in colour treated hair faster. However, I had yet to find a sulfate free shampoo that I liked! Also, having alcohol in any skincare/haircare products tend to dry out the hair in the long term, so having both these ingredients omitted from the ingredients list is a major plus!
Finally, the scent of the products is described as a "relaxing herbal floral aroma made with natural fragrance." However, I think it smells more sophisticated fruity with some floral notes. Anyways, it smells DELICIOUS and I absolutely love it! The scent is pretty consistent in all the products I received.

KOSE Je L'aime Amino Amazing Sleek Shampoo
KOSE Je L'aime Amino Amazing Sleek Treatment (Conditioner)
To be honest, I wasn't sure what I was going to be expecting from the shampoo and conditioner but these two products are actually my favourites of this line!! I carried these back from Singapore to Thailand, China and then finally back home to Canada! And let me tell you, when I only have 23kg of luggage space and these probably weighed 5kg, it means a lot that I was willing to bring it around.
The shampoo was amazing because after snorkelling in Phi Phi Islands Thailand, my hair, which is coloured and highlighted, was particularly dry feeling and tangled due to the salt water. However, as you start washing your hair, you feel your hair untangle and it already feels really sleek as you wash! The shampoo lathers and becomes this super densely cloud of foam! It really feels like an experience at a salon.
Then I follow up with the conditioner. The conditioner really further smooths out your hair, detangles and softens. It's a really creamy conditioner that does exactly as it claims and makes my hair feel soft and smooth. I tried to replace the conditioner with the other 2 masks interchangeably as suggested, but neither of the 2 outperformed it! The conditioner made my hair feel softer, whereas the KOSE Je L'aime Amino Amazing Sleek Treatment Mask and KOSE Je L'aime Amino Deep Repair Algae Mask only made my hair feel sleeker.
One thing I wish was better was that it would repair my hair as well. It claims to "repair for even accumulated damage" but, I didn't find it repaired my hair much.

KOSE Je L'aime Amino Amazing Sleek Treatment Mask
The Treatment masks instructions say to apply to hair for 1-2 minutes, and claims to help prevent damage and makes hair silky smooth.
This was the only other product other than the Shampoo and Conditioner that I brought with me throughout my trips. I felt like it did a good job at making my hair sleeker and less frizzy. I didn't find it extremely potent as masks usually are or help prevent daily damages. The product says to use it instead of the treatment (conditioner) 2-3 times per week, however, if I used instead of the conditioner, it didn't make my hair feel softer, only sleeker. Therefore, I find it a good add on after the conditioner, but isn't enough if used by itself/as a replacement.

KOSE Je L'aime Amino Deep Repair Algae Mask
The mask claims to be "Multi damage care from dryness, heat, UV rays, Static, and Hair colour."
The directions are to take a ping-pong ball size amount and apply to wet hair.
Unfortunately, this was the one that I was looking forward to the most but made the least amount of impact on my hair. After using it several times, I did not feel like it repaired my hair in any way. It didn't feel nourishing or soften my hair like other masks usually do. Again it did make my hair feel more smooth & manageable, but I felt that my shampoo and conditioner already contributed to that. I was hoping for more of a deep repair as the product claims and I just don't think it was able to do that. The scent of this product is a bit stronger, but I think it smells amazing!
