Overview
Not a wet shampoo, this is an aerosol powder made to refresh hair without water. Amika uses natural rice starch to soak up oil and cut odor, in a pink grapefruit, apricot and vanilla scent.
An invisible finish and a clean free-of list suit people who want a dry shampoo that is easy on color-treated hair. The limit is the scent, which is part of the formula, and the muddled size information.
Who it's for
People with color-treated hair and a busy wash schedule will find a vegan, talc-free dry shampoo useful. Fragrance-sensitive users and anyone needing a clear volume should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Rice starch formula
- Vegan and cruelty free
- Free of sulfates and parabens
- Size data conflicts
- Aerosol, not pump spray
Performance notes
Rice starch is a fine powder that soaks up oil from roots, which brings back volume and texture. The effect fades as oil returns, and a full wash is still needed eventually.
