Amika Perk Up Plus Extended Clean Dry Shampoo — 2.5 oz | lightweight, residue-free root refresh

This dry shampoo blends scalp-friendly mandelic acid with absorbent arrowroot powder to revive limp roots and add light texture while keeping hair feeling natural. Designed for all hair types, it targets oily roots and mid-lengths so you can stretch your routine without the chalky finish some dry shampoos leave behind. The formula emphasizes a clean feel and finish rather than adding heavy product or buildup.

How does this product refresh hair without looking or feeling dusty?

Perk Up Plus uses fine arrowroot powder to soak up excess oil and a lightweight spray delivery that disperses evenly across roots. Amino-friendly ingredients prioritize a natural touch and minimal visible residue, so hair keeps movement and softness after application.

• Micro-fine arrowroot powder absorbs sebum without clumping.
• Even aerosol distribution prevents heavy spots or white streaks.
• Lightweight finish preserves hair texture and flexibility.

What scalp-friendly ingredients are included and why they matter?

The formula blends mandelic acid with gentle absorbents to balance scalp feel and root clarity. Mandelic acid is selected for its compatibility with scalp pH to help refresh the root area while keeping the overall sensation comfortable and not overly stripped.

• Mandelic acid helps gently exfoliate and clear excess surface oils.
• Arrowroot powder provides natural oil absorption without heaviness.
• Non-greasy carriers deliver a clean, breathable finish.

How should I use it for best results across different hair types?

Shake well and hold the can several inches from dry roots before spraying in short bursts to build coverage gradually. Work product into roots with fingertips or a brush and refresh only where oil accumulates to avoid overuse.

• Fine hair: apply sparingly and use volumizing technique at roots.
• Thick or curly hair: target crown and parting lines for concentrated refreshment.
• Dark hair: spray from a slightly greater distance and blend with fingertips.

Will this cause build up if I use it regularly?

Perk Up Plus is formulated to be lightweight and buildable, minimizing the chance of visible buildup when used as directed. Regular, targeted use combined with occasional shampooing prevents accumulation while maintaining extended time between washes.

• Apply only where needed—roots and oily zones—rather than all over lengths.
• Brush or comb through to remove any settled powder from strands.
• Use clarifying shampoo periodically to reset if you use dry shampoo frequently.

Who this is for: This dry shampoo suits anyone who wants to delay wash days without sacrificing a natural look—people with busy schedules, those seeking quick root refreshes between styles, and anyone wanting lightweight oil control for fine, thick, curly, or straight hair. If you prefer products that feel breathable and avoid visible residue, Amika Perk Up Plus offers a convenient, scalp-considerate option to keep hair looking refreshed and manageable between shampoos.
