A blowout smoothing balm with heat protection that controls frizz through the drying process and keeps hair smooth afterward.
The Moda Team Review
Velveteen Dream Balm is the pre-blowout step in the frizz control system. Applied to damp hair before blow-drying, it protects against heat and actively smooths the cuticle during drying — so the finished style is sleeker and more humidity-resistant than from shampoo and conditioner alone. It provides hold as well as smoothness, making it the most useful prep step for a full blowout on frizzy hair. Add The Shield over the top on high-humidity days for a layered barrier.
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.
