amika Perk Up Plus Extended Clean Dry Shampoo is an aerosol dry shampoo that combines oil-absorbing rice starch and arrowroot powder with mandelic acid, a gentle AHA, to help manage both oil and scalp balance between washes. It's built for balanced-to-oily scalps across all hair types and textures, including color-treated hair.
To use, shake well, hold the can about 8 inches from your scalp, and spray onto roots using a sweeping motion. Wait about 30 seconds, then massage or brush the product through so it doesn't sit visibly on the roots.
Along with the starches and mandelic acid, the formula includes rambutan seed extract, a peptide (pentapeptide-3), and amika's sea buckthorn and sunflower seed oils. It's an aerosol built on alcohol and propellants rather than a natural or organic base, though the oil-absorbing agents themselves are plant-derived starches rather than synthetic silica. It's formulated without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and mineral oil, and is certified vegan.
