Amika Perk Up Ultra Oil Control Dry Shampoo 250ml is an extra-strength dry shampoo designed for oily scalps and hair that quickly becomes greasy between washes. Created for those who need more powerful oil absorption than a traditional dry shampoo, this refreshing formula helps remove excess oil, reduce unwanted odours and leave roots looking cleaner and feeling lighter. Whether your hair becomes oily the day after washing or you want to refresh your style without using water, Perk Up Ultra offers a convenient solution for busy mornings and everyday haircare.

Part of Amika's Perk Up dry shampoo collection, this oil-control spray combines Tapioca Starch, Bamboo Stem Extract and Sea Buckthorn Oil to refresh greasy roots while maintaining a comfortable, dry finish. Its targeted formula has been clinically tested for oil removal and is designed to absorb more excess oil than the original Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo. With correct application, it helps restore movement and fullness to hair weighed down by excess oil.

Suitable for: All hair types and textures, including straight, wavy, curly and coily hair. Particularly suitable for oily and very oily scalps, greasy roots, flat-looking hair and anyone who finds their hair needs washing daily or every other day.

Key ingredients:

  • Tapioca Starch: Helps absorb excess scalp oil and refresh greasy roots without washing.
  • Bamboo Stem Extract: Helps absorb sweat and sebum while reducing unwanted odours from the hair and scalp.
  • Rice Starch and Silica: Absorb surface oil and contribute to the formula's dry, refreshed finish.
  • Sea Buckthorn Fruit and Seed Oil: Amika's signature botanical ingredient, naturally containing fatty acids and antioxidants that help condition the hair.

How to use:

  • Shake the can thoroughly before each application.
  • Hold approximately 20cm away from dry hair.
  • Spray onto the roots using a sweeping motion, concentrating on areas where excess oil is most noticeable.
  • Wait approximately 30 seconds to allow the oil-absorbing ingredients to work.
  • Gently massage into the roots with your fingertips or brush through to distribute the product and remove visible powder.
  • Apply a little more where needed, then style your hair as usual.

Expert tips:

  • For very oily roots: Divide your hair into sections before spraying to distribute the product more evenly.
  • For extra freshness: Apply lightly to freshly styled roots to help maintain your hairstyle between washes, as recommended by Amika.
  • For darker hair: Allow the powder to absorb oil before thoroughly massaging or brushing through, as a temporary white cast may be visible.
  • For fine hair: Begin with a small amount to refresh the roots without overloading your hairstyle.

It is especially helpful for oily roots, second-day hair and styles that need a cleaner, more lifted look.
