Amika Perk Up Pursuit Travel Dry Shampoo Trio — 3 Mini Sprays (Perk Up, Plus, Ultra) for Oil Control & Volume

Amika Perk Up Pursuit is a travel trio of mini dry shampoos—Perk Up, Perk Up Plus, and Perk Up Ultra—designed to refresh hair between washes and manage oil, texture, and longevity.

This compact trial set gives you three distinct Perk Up formulas from Amika so you can test which works best for your routine or layer them to extend styles. Each spray is travel-sized for on-the-go touch-ups, workouts, or busy days when a full wash isn’t possible. The lineup includes the original Perk Up Dry Shampoo, the extended-clean Perk Up Plus, and the oil-targeting Perk Up Ultra, offering a spectrum of absorption, scent, and finish.

How do these three dry shampoos differ and when should I use each one?

Each formula targets a slightly different need: Perk Up is the classic refresh for everyday oil and volume; Perk Up Plus focuses on longer-lasting clean between washes; Perk Up Ultra concentrates on heavy oil control. Use them individually based on your scalp condition or combine them strategically through your wash cycle to prolong styles.

• Perk Up: lightweight oil absorption and instant lift for day‑one to day‑two hair.
• Perk Up Plus: extended-clean formula for days when you need longer wear and freshness.
• Perk Up Ultra: stronger oil control for very oily roots or pre‑workout protection.

Can I layer the dry shampoos to make styles last longer?

Yes—layering is a suggested approach for maximizing results across a multi‑day style. Start with Perk Up on fresher hair to add texture and lift, switch to Perk Up Plus as days go on to maintain a clean scent and feel, then finish with Perk Up Ultra to absorb buildup just before washing.

• Layer sequence: Perk Up → Perk Up Plus → Perk Up Ultra for progressive control.
• Spray at roots from 6–12 inches, let sit briefly, then massage or brush to distribute.
• Use sparingly on dry ends to avoid visible residue—focus on the scalp and roots.

How do I apply these dry shampoos for best results during workouts or travel?

Apply primarily to the roots and hairline before or right after activity to trap oil and sweat, then massage in and style as usual. The minis are sized for gym bags and carry‑on luggage, so you can refresh hair between sessions, meetings, or flights without a full shampoo.

• Pre‑workout: spray the scalp to protect strands from sweat accumulation.
• Post‑workout: mist, let absorb for a minute, then rub or brush through for renewed texture.
• Travel tip: use the trial size in carry‑on luggage for easy in‑flight touch ups.

Will these leave visible residue or change my hair color?

The Perk Up family is formulated to minimize white cast, but application technique matters: short bursts from a distance and gentle massaging help blend the powder. People with very dark or very fine hair should use smaller amounts and distribute well to avoid any visible residue.

• Spray 6–12 inches away and let product settle before rubbing in.
• Use a brush or fingers to evenly work powder into roots for a natural finish.
• For dark hair, apply in short pulses and diffuse with fingers to prevent buildup.

Who is this best for: the Amika Perk Up Pursuit trial set suits anyone seeking a convenient, travel‑friendly way to refresh hair between washes—busy commuters, frequent travelers, gym‑goers, and those new to dry shampoo who want to sample multiple formulas. It’s ideal for gifting or to determine which Perk Up formula fits your scalp oil level, scent preference, and styling needs before committing to full sizes.
