Overview
Not the standard Perk Up, this Ultra Oil Control version is a stronger dry shampoo aimed at the oiliest scalps. Tapioca starch absorbs oil, bamboo stem extract removes odor, and sea buckthorn rounds out the formula.
Real oil control for people whose roots turn greasy fast is the case for it. The claim is measured against Amika's own regular dry shampoo, and it carries a noticeable fruity vanilla scent.
Who it's for
Suited to oily hair between washes, after workouts or on busy mornings. People whose hair is dry or who rarely get greasy roots will find the regular version enough.
Pros and cons
- Stronger oil absorption
- Odor-removing bamboo extract
- Fresh fruity scent
- Works on all hair colors

Performance notes
Tapioca starch particles soak up sebum at the root, which removes shine and lifts flat hair. The stronger formula carries more absorbent material per spray, so it handles heavier oil than a standard dry shampoo.
