Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo Duo — Full & Travel Sizes, Talc-Free Rice-Starch Formula for Instant Body

Amika's Positively Perked Up Dry Shampoo Duo includes a full-size and travel-size dry shampoo to refresh roots and add instant body without visible residue.

This gift-ready duo combines a regular and a compact Perk Up Dry Shampoo formula designed to revive hair between washes. The talc-free, rice-starch based formula soaks up oil and neutralizes odor while creating lift at the roots for a freshly styled look. Compact enough for a purse or gym bag, the set makes it easy to extend time between washes whether you’re at home or on the move.

How quickly will this dry shampoo refresh oily roots?

Expect immediate absorption of excess oil and noticeable root lift the moment you spray and massage it in. The rice starch base targets sebum and lightens surface oil without leaving a powdery film, so hair looks cleaner right away.

• Spray sparingly at roots and let sit for 30–60 seconds to soak up oil.
• Work through with fingertips or a brush to distribute and add volume.
• Full-size for daily at-home use; travel-size for touch-ups on the go.

Will this show white residue on darker hair?

The formula is talc-free and formulated to be invisible across most hair colors, including darker tones. Instead of common aluminum starch, Amika uses rice starch to absorb oil with a finer finish that blends into the hair without a chalky appearance.

• Rice starch minimizes visible powder compared with traditional alternatives.
• Shake well and spray from 6–8 inches for the most even coverage.
• Work product into roots to break up any concentrated spots and reveal a natural finish.

How does this duo add lasting volume without stiffness?

Perk Up lifts at the root while preserving movement and avoiding a gritty feel; the lightweight texture creates body without stiffening hair fibers. The result is added oomph and shape that blends with your natural texture rather than locking it into place.

• Absorbs oil to restore volume where hair flattens out.
• Leaves hair touchable and flexible rather than crunchy.
• Pairs well with styling tools or scrunching for enhanced texture.

What practical benefits come with the full-size and travel-size pairing?

The dual-format set covers both everyday needs and travel conveniences. Keep the full-size at home for regular use and toss the travel-size in a bag for quick midday refreshes or weekend trips, so you can maintain a polished look with minimal effort.

• Full-size supports frequent, at-home styling sessions.
• Travel-size meets airline and gym-bag requirements for portability.
• Gift packaging makes it a convenient present for friends or family.

Who is this for: The Amika Positively Perked Up Dry Shampoo Duo is ideal for anyone who wants a fast, fuss-free way to extend time between washes, add visible root lift, and keep hair smelling fresh — especially those with busy routines, frequent travelers, or people with fine-to-medium hair seeking non-stiff volume. It’s suited for color-treated and natural hair types that need a lightweight, invisible refresh without residue.
