amika Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo

Quench dry, thirsty hair from the very first step with amika Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo, a silicone-free hydrating cleanser created for dry, textured and coarse hair. A gentle cleansing system featuring Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine and Coco-Glucoside removes oil and impurities while helping maintain the moisture textured hair needs. Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) helps support hydration by attracting and retaining moisture, while polyglutamic acid further supports moisture retention for softer, more supple-feeling strands. Squalane provides lightweight lipid-based conditioning that helps reduce moisture loss, while coconut, rapeseed, sesame and sea buckthorn oils add nourishing fatty acids for softness and manageability. Bio-fermented coconut water and blue-green algae provide additional hydration support alongside naturally occurring amino acids and fatty acids. When used with Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Conditioner as a system, it is clinically proven to deliver 3× more hydration, moisture for up to 72 hours and 50% less breakage. The result is clean, softer and more hydrated hair without the stripped feeling that can follow a harsher cleanse.

How to Use + Best For

Massage amika Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo into thoroughly wet hair and scalp, working into a lather before rinsing well, then follow with Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Conditioner. It is specifically recommended for dry, textured and coarse hair types 2A–4C, and amika identifies it as best for low-porosity hair. Its combination of gentle cleansing agents, humectants and lightweight conditioning lipids makes it especially useful when hair needs moisture but is prone to feeling dry or resistant to hydration. Medium- and high-porosity hair can also use Hydro Rush when moisture is a priority, although amika recommends that high-porosity hair alternate a moisturizing system like Hydro Rush with a reparative system when damage is also present. The formula is silicone-free and sulfate-free, making it a great moisture-focused cleanser for curls, coils and textured hair.

Take Khair Tip: Focus shampoo primarily on your scalp and roots, gently massaging with your fingertips, then allow the lather to travel through your lengths as you rinse to avoid unnecessarily over-cleansing dry ends.
