amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo

Before I start the review, my hair is very thick, medium length (right at my shoulders) and usually gets oily at the end of day two. In addition, I have a slightly sensitive scalp that can be itchy and sometimes flaky. 

I really love the way amika's Perk Up Dry Shampoo smells and it was incredibly effective. I used it to perk up my hair for an evening dinner with friends. It did not leave my hair feeling powdery like some dry shampoos can and my hair smelled great! I did have to use quite a bit to make a difference, but I think that's mostly because I have super thick hair and used it throughout my hair. 

My only complaint is that this product did leave my scalp itchy. Really itchy. I have a sensitive skin from head to toe but my scalp can be a real pain when it comes to dry spells. So, for me - I would use this in emergencies or in the case where I can't take a shower before going out and definitely as a normal option.

A nice sample from Birchbox for sure!
