The Moda Take

Amika's most concentrated heat defense serum — intensive thermal protection for high-heat tools and colour-treated hair that needs the strongest thermal barrier in the range.

The Moda Team Review

Blockade is for clients who use high-heat tools and can't afford heat damage on top of everything else their hair is dealing with. Where the Wizard is a light multipurpose pre-style primer, Blockade is a targeted serum specifically formulated for intensive heat protection. The concentration of thermal barrier actives is significantly higher than any spray-format product. A small amount applied to damp hair before heat styling creates a serious protective film around the shaft.

Why Moda Carries This

Amika was founded in Brooklyn in 2007 and is B-Corp certified, vegan, and cruelty-free. We carry it because our clients ask for it by name — and because it earns its place on performance. The brand has a fun, young energy and a more accessible price point than our core professional lines, without sacrificing results. Perk Up is the dry shampoo we recommend more than any other. The treatment masks — Soulfood, Hydro Rush, The Kure Intense — consistently over-deliver. B-Corp certification aligns with the values we hold as a team and as parents.

Key Ingredients

  • Concentrated Heat Defense Complex: High-concentration thermal barrier actives that form an intensive protective film around the hair shaft against heat damage up to 450°F / 230°C.

How To Use

  1. Apply a small amount to damp hair before heat styling.
  2. Distribute through mid-lengths and ends. Do not rinse.
  3. Style as usual.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Good to Know

Yes — Blockade is a concentrated heat defence serum — the most intensive thermal protection in the Amika range. The Wizard is a multi-tasker: detangles, smooths, and heat-protects in one lighter spray. If heat protection is your only goal at high temperatures, Blockade delivers more intensity. If you want one step that does everything, The Wizard.
Yes — you can layer them. Apply The Wizard first to detangle and smooth, then a small amount of Blockade before high-heat tools for added thermal protection. On fine hair, choose one — layering heat protectants can create weight.
Yes — Blockade can be applied to both damp hair before blow-drying and dry hair before flat iron or curling tools. Apply before tool contact, not after.
Yes — colour-treated hair is structurally more porous and damaged by heat faster than natural hair. Daily high-heat styling compounds this significantly. A concentrated heat protectant applied consistently is one of the highest-impact things you can add to a colour-maintenance routine.
Yes — a small amount is sufficient. For medium-length hair, 1–2 pumps distributed through mid-lengths and ends before heat tools. Over-applying concentrated serums is a common mistake — more product doesn't mean more protection.
