Amika Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo 500ml — hyaluronic acid & squalane for deep hydration

Amika Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo is a hydrating cleanser formulated with hyaluronic acid and squalane to deliver intense, long-lasting moisture to dry or thirsty hair.

Designed for hair that needs serious replenishment, this 500ml shampoo blends humectants and lipids—hyaluronic acid, squalane, polyglutamic acid, coconut water, and blue algae—into a gentle lather that cleanses without stripping. The formula targets moisture retention and surface softness, helping hair feel smoother and appear healthier after use. Results cited by the brand include increased hydration and reduced damage metrics*; this copy describes product intent and ingredient function rather than clinical guarantees.

How does this shampoo hydrate dry or brittle hair?

Hydration comes from a mix of molecules that attract and lock in water at different hair layers. Hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid are humectants that draw moisture to the hair surface, while squalane replenishes lipids to seal in that hydration for longer wear.

• Hyaluronic acid: draws moisture to the hair fiber.
• Polyglutamic acid: enhances water-binding capacity.
• Squalane: restores surface lipids for softer, smoother strands.
• Coconut water and blue algae: provide lightweight nutrients and a refreshed feel.

Will it cleanse without drying colored or chemically treated hair?

The formulation is created to produce a luxurious, gentle lather that removes dirt and product build-up while prioritizing moisture. It aims to reduce the tug and friction that often follow harsh shampoos, helping color-treated or chemically processed hair retain softness after washing.

• Gentle surfactants cleanse without aggressive stripping.
• Humectants and lipids help support color longevity by maintaining hydration.
• Designed to reduce surface damage during washing routines.

How long does the hydration last and what does "intense" mean in daily use?

The product is formulated to boost moisture levels and carry it for an extended period compared with standard shampoos; brand data references multi-day hydration performance. In daily routines, "intense" refers to the concentrated combination of humectants and emollients that prioritize replenishment over just basic cleansing.

• Hydration-boosting actives provide sustained moisture support.
• Lightweight emollients prevent greasy residue while sealing in hydration.
• Suitable for use in regular wash cycles to maintain improved moisture balance.

How should I use Hydro Rush for best results?

Apply to wet hair, massage into a rich lather focusing on the scalp and lengths, then rinse thoroughly. For an intensified regimen, follow with a matching Amika conditioner or a targeted leave-in treatment to lock in hydration and detangle.

• Use a coin-sized amount to start; increase for longer or thicker hair.
• Massage gently—less friction reduces breakage.
• Pair with Amika Hydro Rush conditioner for optimal moisture retention.

Who is this for: Amika Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo suits anyone with dry, dehydrated, color-treated, or chemically processed hair who wants a hydrating daily cleanser. It also works well for hair that feels brittle, lacks softness, or needs extra slip to reduce tangles during washing. If you prefer products that combine humectants and emollients to prioritize moisture without heavy buildup, this shampoo is formulated to fit into that routine.

*Claims such as "3x more hydration," "72 hour hydration," and "reduces damage by 50%" are brand-reported metrics. This description explains ingredient function and intended benefits rather than presenting clinical guarantees.
