Amika Perk Up Ultra Oil Control Dry Shampoo 9.5oz — Instant Oil Absorption & Refreshes Roots

Amika Perk Up Ultra Oil Control Dry Shampoo is a concentrated dry-clean formula designed to absorb excess oil, refresh roots, and extend styles for extra-oily scalps between washes.

If your scalp needs stronger oil control than a standard dry shampoo, Perk Up Ultra was formulated to tackle heavier oil buildup while leaving hair with a lightweight, just-washed finish. This 9.5oz aerosol brings together oil-absorbing tapioca starch, odor-reducing bamboo stem extract, and amika’s sea buckthorn superfruit for a formulation meant to revive limp, greasy roots quickly and discreetly.

How quickly will Perk Up Ultra reduce oil and refresh my roots?

The product works immediately on contact to absorb surface oil and refresh the appearance and texture of strands. Users report visible improvements after one application, and the formula is designed to give a dry, non-greasy finish that mimics freshly washed hair.

• Instant oil absorption from tapioca starch for rapid mattifying.
• Odor control with bamboo stem extract to neutralize lingering smells.
• Sea buckthorn for a revitalized scent and lightweight feel.

Will this dry shampoo leave residue or a white cast on dark hair?

Perk Up Ultra aims for a dry, powder-finish that blends into roots when massaged in, but application technique matters. Hold the can at the recommended distance and work product into the scalp with fingertips or a brush to minimize visible residue.

• Shake well and spray 6–8 inches from roots for finer mist distribution.
• Allow a few seconds to settle, then lightly massage or brush through.
• Use sparingly at first; build coverage only where needed to avoid excess powder.

How does Perk Up Ultra fit into a styling routine and how often can I use it?

This dry shampoo is intended for between-wash touch-ups to lengthen styles, refresh texture, and reduce the need for daily washing. It’s suitable for regular use on oily scalps; simply apply when roots begin to look greasy or styles lose volume.

• Apply at roots to restore lift and absorb grease without wet shampooing.
• Works well before styling to add grip for updos or textured looks.
• Safe to reapply as needed—start light and increase only in oily areas.

Who is this for: Amika Perk Up Ultra Oil Control Dry Shampoo is for people with extra-oily scalps who want a stronger dry shampoo that refreshes roots quickly, helps extend hairstyles between washes, and reduces oil and odor without leaving a heavy residue. It’s especially useful for busy schedules, travel, or anyone trying to avoid daily shampooing while keeping hair looking clean and volumized.
