Amika Perk Up Plus Extended Clean Dry Shampoo 2.5 oz — lightweight, no-white-residue refresh for all hair types

amika Perk Up Plus Extended Clean Dry Shampoo is a lightweight, buildable dry shampoo that refreshes roots, lengthens time between washes, and leaves no visible residue.

Designed for anyone who wants fresher-looking hair without a full wash, this 2.5 oz formula blends scalp-friendly ingredients like mandelic acid and arrowroot powder to absorb oil while preserving a natural feel. It revitalizes limp roots and helps you stretch wash days without the chalky finish that some powders leave behind. The texture is airy and buildable so you can add a little or more, depending on how much refreshment your hair needs.

How does this dry shampoo refresh roots without looking white or flaky?

Perk Up Plus uses a fine, lightweight powder that disperses evenly at the roots, minimizing the telltale white cast that heavier formulas can create. Because the product is buildable, you can layer small amounts until you reach the desired level of oil absorption and lift, maintaining a natural appearance.

• Fine arrowroot powder absorbs excess oil without heaviness
• Light, even spray distribution prevents visible residue
• Buildable application allows gradual refresh without overuse

Will this work on all hair types and colors?

The formula is formulated to suit a wide range of hair textures and shades; it refreshes oily roots and boosts volume on fine hair while remaining lightweight on thicker textures. It’s designed to minimize visible buildup on darker hair and to blend naturally across color ranges when applied properly.

• Suitable for fine, medium, and coarse textures
• Formulated to avoid obvious residue on darker hair
• Works as a quick volumizer for flat styles

What role do mandelic acid and arrowroot powder play in this formula?

Mandelic acid is included for gentle scalp-friendly exfoliation, helping to refresh the scalp surface without irritation when used as directed. Arrowroot powder is a natural absorbent that soaks up oil at the roots, helping hair look less greasy while maintaining a soft, non-stiff finish.

• Mandelic acid promotes a cleaner-feeling scalp surface
• Arrowroot powder absorbs oil and mattifies roots
• Combined ingredients aim to extend time between washes, not cause buildup

How should I apply it for best results and how often can I use it?

Hold the can several inches from dry hair and spray directly at the roots in short bursts, focusing on areas that look oily or flat. Massage or tousle with fingers to distribute and dissolve the powder; repeat in small amounts as needed. Use between regular washes to extend style longevity, but follow your usual cleansing routine appropriate to your scalp condition.

• Shake well; spray 6–8 inches from roots in short bursts
• Work product in with fingers or a brush to blend and lift
• Add more only if needed—product is designed to be buildable

Who this is for: If you want a no-fuss way to refresh your hair, add instant root lift, and stretch the time between full shampoos without a powdery finish, amika Perk Up Plus is built for you. It’s especially useful for busy mornings, travel, or anyone who prefers a lightweight, scalp-considerate approach to dry shampooing. Suitable for all hair types and color ranges when applied as directed.
