Amika Perk Up Ultra Oil Control Dry Shampoo 2.5oz — Extra-Oily Scalp Rapid Oil Absorption & Refresh

amika Perk Up Ultra Oil Control Dry Shampoo is a concentrated, fast-acting dry shampoo designed to absorb excess oil and refresh roots for extra-oily scalps between washes.

If your scalp gets greasy quickly and you need a reliable way to extend styles without a full wash, this dialed-up formula targets heavy oil at the roots while leaving hair with a clean, non-greasy finish. Formulated with oil-absorbing tapioca starch, odor-neutralizing bamboo stem extract, and amika’s sea buckthorn superfruit, Perk Up Ultra was developed after community feedback to deliver stronger oil control than the brand’s original dry shampoo.

How quickly will I see oil control and freshness?

You’ll notice reduced greasiness and a refreshed scalp right after application. The lightweight powder texture lifts oil from roots and evaporates to a dry finish, recreating that 'just-washed' feel without water.

• Works immediately on contact to reduce visible oil at the roots
• Clinically, 87% of users reported improved oil control after one use
• Leaves a non-sticky, dry finish that blends into hair

How do I use Perk Up Ultra for best results?

Hold the can several inches from dry hair and spray directly at the roots in short bursts. Let the product sit for a few seconds, then massage or brush through to distribute and remove excess powder for a natural-looking finish.

• Target oily areas: crown, hairline, and parting
• Use short bursts to avoid over-application
• Buff with fingertips or a brush for instant lift and texture

Will it change my hair’s texture or leave residue?

The formula is engineered to refresh without heavy buildup. Tapioca starch absorbs oil while the lightweight delivery helps avoid the chalky feel common to some dry shampoos, producing lift and renewed texture suitable for styling.

• Adds lightweight texture for easier styling between washes
• Minimizes visible white cast for most hair types when applied correctly
• Designed for frequent touch-ups without weighing hair down

What ingredients help control oil and odor?

Perk Up Ultra combines oil-absorbing starch with botanical extracts to handle both grease and scent. Bamboo stem extract helps neutralize odor while sea buckthorn contributes antioxidants and a signature amika sensorial note.

• Tapioca starch: primary oil-absorbing agent at the roots
• Bamboo stem extract: supports odor control for a fresher scalp
• Sea buckthorn: amika’s superfruit for aroma and revitalizing feel

Who this is for: if you have an extra-oily scalp, style every day, or need a dependable way to extend second- or third-day looks without stripping hair, Perk Up Ultra is made for you. It’s ideal for people who want stronger oil control than a standard dry shampoo while keeping hair touchable and ready for styling. Use it as a targeted refresher at the roots between washes to maintain volume, manage oil, and delay full shampooing.
