Will this leave a white cast on my dark hair?
Because Perk Up is talc-free and uses high-quality rice starch, it is designed to be invisible. If you see a slight "dustiness," simply wait 30 seconds and massage it in thoroughly; it will disappear completely into the hair.
Is it safe to use this dry shampoo every day?
Yes. It is formulated to be gentle on the scalp and hair. However, we always recommend a thorough double-cleanse with a shampoo like amika Normcore or Reset once or twice a week to maintain optimal scalp health.
Does this contain benzene?
No. amika is committed to safety and clean beauty. Perk Up is formulated without benzene and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the highest safety standards.

Whether you are post-workout or just extending your blowout, this cult-favourite spray leaves hair looking, feeling, and smelling like it was just professionally styled.
