Amika Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo — 275ml for Dry, Textured & Color-Treated Hair, Hyaluronic Acid Hydration

Amika Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo is a hydrating cleanser formulated with hyaluronic acid, squalane, and botanical extracts to deliver deep, long-lasting moisture for dry, textured, or coarse hair.

Designed for hair types ranging from 2a to 4c and safe for color-treated, keratin, and chemically processed strands, this 275ml shampoo aims to restore softness and manageability without stripping. The formula combines humectants and lightweight oils to bind moisture, while cleansing agents create a rich lather that removes buildup gently. It's an option for anyone seeking sustained hydration and minimized breakage during routine washing.

How does this shampoo restore moisture to dry or textured hair?

The blend of hyaluronic acid, squalane, and polyglutamic acid attracts and locks in water molecules along the hair shaft so strands feel plumper and smoother after washing. Coconut water and blue algae add lightweight conditioning and antioxidants to help maintain pliability. Together the ingredients aim to increase surface hydration and reduce the appearance of frizz.

• Hyaluronic acid binds moisture for immediate plumping.
• Squalane provides replenishing, non-greasy emollience.
• Polyglutamic acid supports prolonged hydration retention.
• Botanical extracts offer lightweight conditioning and shine.

Will it work on color-treated or chemically processed hair?

This formula is labeled color-safe and is formulated to be gentle on hair that has been keratin-treated, relaxed, or colored. It cleanses without aggressive stripping agents and supports moisture balance, which can help reduce breakage during styling. Use alongside color-protecting conditioners for best results.

• Safe for dyed and keratin-treated hair types.
• Gentle surfactants help preserve color vibrancy.
• Pairs well with conditioners and leave-ins for protection.

How long does the hydration last and how often should I use it?

Amika reports improved hydration that can last up to 72 hours when used as part of a moisturizing routine; individual results vary based on hair porosity and environment. For most dry or textured hair, using the shampoo 1–3 times weekly with co-washing or conditioner-only days in between helps maintain moisture without buildup. Adjust frequency according to scalp needs and styling products used.

• Up to 72 hours of boosted hydration reported.
• Best used as part of a moisture-focused care routine.
• Frequency: typically 1–3 times per week for dry textures.

What immediate benefits can I expect after washing?

After rinsing, hair should feel softer, easier to detangle, and less prone to static or frizz thanks to the humectant-rich formula. The lather cleanses while helping reduce damage, leaving strands smoother to the touch and primed for conditioning treatments. You'll notice enhanced manageability, especially on coarse or high-porosity hair.

• Softer texture and improved slip for detangling.
• Reduced surface roughness and frizz control.
• Cleaner scalp without drying out lengths.
