WHAT: amika Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo
WHY: Picture it. You showered last night. Your hair was squeaky clean and slightly damp as you nodded off to sleep. You entered REM with a vision of taking on the world with sparkling clean confidence, but come 2pm the next day, you’re grimacing in the bathroom mirror, staring down the HEAD GREASE that has emerged in a mere 15 hours. Some of you will not find this to be relatable content. But the rest of you?
Well this dry shampoo is for the rest of you. The rest of us.
Us, the oily haired, grease-laden gals who are so often forgotten about in the hair-care landscape that brims with argan oils and honeys and shea butters and glycerins.
But this dry shampoo says NO MORE. This talc-free dry cleanser has ZERO powdery residue, and never leaves that telltale white cast.
But let’s talk about scent for a minute.
The scent has to be pretty of course, but it can’t overpower your entire head such that all that anyone can smell on you is your dry shampoo. And this one smells like a fresh, dewy morning. Subtle, clean, all the words you want to describe your dry shampoo.
Do we use it right after a shower once our hair is dry to keep grease at bay overall? Yes. Do we use it after working out and oops don’t shower afterwards because we’re lazy pigs? Yes. Do we use it on day 7 of not washing our hair because every dumb magazine tells us oily girls to basically never shampoo again even though we have never once noticed a difference in the oil-levels of our hair? Yes.
The point is, if you have ever watched your beautiful blowout become a viscous, matted oil slick and you’ve tried every other de-greasing product known to (wo)man and none have worked, try this one.
It works.
