Amika Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo 500ml — hyaluronic acid & squalane for 72-hour hydration

Amika Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo is a rich, hydrating cleanser formulated with hyaluronic acid and squalane to deliver deep, long-lasting moisture to dry or thirsty hair.

This sulfate-free shampoo combines hyaluronic acid, squalane, polyglutamic acid, coconut water and blue algae to gently remove buildup while replenishing and locking in hydration. Designed to produce a luxuriant lather, it targets strands that feel depleted, rough, or brittle and aims to boost moisture for up to 72 hours*, helping hair look smoother and more resilient after each wash.

How does this shampoo restore moisture without weighing hair down?

Hydro Rush uses lightweight humectants and emollients that attract and seal in water without heavy oils. The formula balances water-binding ingredients with smoothing agents to hydrate the cortex while preserving natural movement and body.

• Hyaluronic acid: draws moisture into each strand for immediate softness
• Squalane: lightweight conditioning that smooths without residue
• Polyglutamic acid: supports sustained hydration over time
• Cleansing base: removes dirt and product buildup to allow treatments to penetrate

Will it work on color-treated or chemically processed hair?

This gentle formula is suitable for color-treated and chemically altered hair because it cleanses without stripping away pigment or protective oils. It focuses on restoring moisture and reducing signs of damage, helping treated hair feel more manageable and look shinier.

• Sulfate-free surfactants to help protect color vibrancy
• Hydrating actives that reduce roughness and dryness
• Compatible with post-color care routines and leave-in treatments

How should I use it for best results?

Apply to wet hair, massage into a rich lather, then rinse thoroughly; repeat if needed for heavier styling product buildup. For an intensive hydration routine, follow with a matching Amika conditioner or mask and detangle with a wide-tooth comb while the hair is conditioned.

• Wet hair completely before applying a quarter-sized amount for short hair, more for longer lengths
• Massage gently at the scalp to lift oil and impurities
• Pair with Hydro Rush conditioner or a weekly mask to maximize moisture retention

What immediate and short-term benefits can I expect?

You can expect softer, smoother-feeling hair after the first wash, with improved manageability and reduced frizz. Over multiple washes, the formula supports sustained hydration and helps reduce the feel of damage, contributing to a healthier-looking finish.

• Noticeably softer texture after one use
• Enhanced shine and reduced tangling
• Supports up to 72 hours of added hydration when used as directed*
