Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo

Founder's Pick. Round one, solo tested, headed for the full panel.

I'll confess, I have very fine hair and was a daily wash kind of girl before this product came into my life. I also have very sensitive skin, even on my scalp. Even my favourite French pharmacy brand caused me some minor scalp irritation. The Amika Perk Up is talc free and has never irritated my skin. I always spray it on clean hair so it works more as a styling product at first and then absorbs the oil as needed. I top it up the next day, use a little on the morning of day three, and then wash in the evening on day three. Better yet, Amika offsets their carbon emissions and is certified by The Climate Label.

A good dry shampoo means I'm not running a daily gamble on whether today is a wash day.

What earned it: It stretches one wash to three days, gives fine hair real volume and grip, and it's the only dry shampoo I've used that hasn't irritated my scalp. I've repurchased it more than four times.

Who it's for: Fine hair, sensitive scalps, and anyone who would rather not wash their hair every single day.
