amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo

Refresh your roots without wash day with amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo, a talc-free dry shampoo designed to absorb excess oil, reduce odour and revive volume between washes. Instead of traditional talc or aluminum starch, the formula uses natural rice starch, a highly absorbent powder that helps capture excess sebum at the roots to leave hair looking and feeling fresher. Its ultra-fine formula is designed to disappear into the hair without leaving the chalky white residue often associated with traditional dry shampoos—even on darker hair. amika's signature sea buckthorn adds nutrient-rich fatty acids and antioxidant compounds to complement the oil-absorbing formula. Beyond refreshing oily roots, Perk Up helps restore volume and lift to hair that has become flat or weighed down between wash days, without a gritty finish. The formula is talc-free and silicone-free and is clinically proven to remove oil. In consumer testing, 94% of participants said their hair looked and felt refreshed after use. The result is cleaner-looking, fresher-feeling roots with renewed volume and no water required.

How to Use + Best For

Shake amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo well, hold the can approximately 8 inches away from your roots, and spray in a sweeping motion where oil is most noticeable. Wait 30 seconds to give the rice starch time to absorb excess oil, then massage the product into your scalp with your fingertips or brush it through the hair. Perk Up is suitable for all hair types and textures 1–4C and is especially helpful for balanced-to-oily scalps that need a refresh between regular wash days. Because dry shampoo works primarily by absorbing oil at the scalp, hair porosity isn't a major factor in determining whether this product is right for you. It is also a great option for fine or flat hair that needs a quick boost of root volume and texture without a heavy or gritty feel.

Take Khair Tip: Give Perk Up the full 30 seconds before massaging it in—the rice starch needs a little contact time to absorb excess oil, so immediately brushing it out can reduce the benefit.
