Amika's original cult-classic dry shampoo β rice starch oil absorption and root-lifting aerosol for fresher, fuller-looking hair between washes.
The Moda Team Review
Perk Up is the dry shampoo we recommend more than any other. It's earned that position because it consistently out-performs: rice starch absorbs oil without the chalky, heavy residue that cheaper dry shampoos leave, and the aerosol delivers a fine enough mist that it distributes evenly rather than concentrating in patches. The root lift is real. It brushes out cleanly. And the pro tip below is the one piece of advice that changes how well any dry shampoo works β including this one.
Why Moda Carries This
Amika was founded in Brooklyn in 2007 and is B-Corp certified, vegan, and cruelty-free. We carry it because our clients ask for it by name β and because it earns its place on performance. The brand has a fun, young energy and a more accessible price point than our core professional lines, without sacrificing results. Perk Up is the dry shampoo we recommend more than any other. The treatment masks β Soulfood, Hydro Rush, The Kure Intense β consistently over-deliver. B-Corp certification aligns with the values we hold as a team and as parents.
Key Ingredients
-
Rice Starch: Oil-absorbing agent that soaks up scalp sebum without a heavy or chalky residue.
Moda Pro Tip
Apply the night before, not the morning of. Hair absorbs dry shampoo better when slightly oily β spray before bed and sleep on it. Morning roots look noticeably cleaner than same-morning application every time.
How To Use
