Amika earns largely positive reviews for effective, great-smelling hair care—especially Perk Up dry shampoo, Soulfood Nourishing Mask, and The Kure repair line—suggesting the brand works for many hair types. Reviews also flag real drawbacks: heavy, lingering fragrance, occasional residue or heaviness on fine hair, mixed results across lines, and reports of scalp irritation or hair loss for some, plus durability issues with a hot tool.

  • I love Amika products for their quality, scent, and cute packaging! The hairspray works great and is lightweight while having great hold. It also has a matte finish. It comes out in a fine mist. It’s a great product for men or women.

  • Love love love this dry shampoo! This is one I love to have in my apartment at any given moment. It’s ways to use, smells delicious and gives me a refresh that allows my hair to go another day or two.

  • I got this product from Ulta on a whim when my blowout just didn’t seem to have enough volume or body and I do not regret it. The smell of this product is heavenly. It’s super thin it mist and freeze beautifully into the hair and when you start applying heat, it really adds volume and shine. It has a great texture and it is a blowout primer that protects against up to heat at 450°

  • This Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask is so nourishing and hydrating. This makes my hair feel soft and smooth while deeply hydrating. The mask has a rich, creamy consistency that spreads easily through wet hair without feeling heavy. After rinsing my hair feels incredibly soft and silky, with a noticeable shine! This also smells divine, definitely recommend!

  • Amika hair products have saved my hair! I’ve used many of their products now and they’ve all worked so well. I love their dry shampoo, it keeps my hair looking fresh even days after a hair wash. It also smells great too!

  • So far, I absolutely love this dry shampoo. It’s become one of my go-to products on days when I don’t want to wash my hair but still want it to look fresh and clean. It instantly gives my hair more life and volume without feeling heavy or leaving a weird residue. The smell is also amazing and makes my hair feel freshly done all over again. Definitely one of the better dry shampoos I’ve tried.

  • I love Amika's products for the most part so I really wanted to love this dry shampoo. But I think it's just not a good fit for my hair. It left my hair feeling stiff and hard to brush out. I'm sure it's good for someone, just not me.

  • I love amika products, especially when I can find them on sale! I really like the scent of most of their products, but it may a bit strong for some people. I don't buy many amika products anymore just because of the price.

  • I didn’t think that I would care for this one, but I think that the AMIKA the KURE multitask repair treatment is a really neat addition to shampoo and conditioning. I don’t use it every day, but I will be purchasing a full-size.

  • I really tried to like the hair mask, but I don't think my hair and the product get along. My hair ends up dry, and stringy. I have fine thin hair but a lot of it, and I make sure everything gets rinsed out well and it's been a few months now, and it just doesn't work. With that being said, even though it didn't work out for me, it might be great for someone else, and the marketing is awesome, and the bottle is so cute!

  • The scent is pretty heavy and can be a little too much. It smells A LOT like the brand’s Wizard Detangling Hair Primer, which isn’t my favorite scent. It’s fruity and floral and a bit too loud. I normally prefer scents that have some sort of layering with subtle notes, and this one kind of just screams all the scent notes at once. Although this isn’t my favorite, it’s not bad; but I can only use sparingly because it’s a bit overwhelming.

  • I like the Amika dry shampoo. I use it at night in between washes to keep my hair look less oily and clean. I like that this mighty product helps to keep my hair less oily so I can skip a wash. In turn it saves me time!

  • I love Amika. I’ve tried several of their products and none of them have been a disappointment. They’re all very nourishing, my hair just drinks up all the moisture, and it’s super soft after and not greasy

    Received a free product from amika
  • Amika's packaging and scents live up to the hype, but I don't think the brand is anything special. I appreciate the more affordable price point, and I do think the brand provides everyday luxury, but the leave in is nothing special and was more expensive than a typical drugstore product. The scent is nice, and I like the spray nozzle which helps the product spread evenly, but I expected more hyradtion. I have thick, wavy hair that frizzes easily, and none of Amika's products seems to help with my frizz.

  • I really liked results that I got by using this product. My hair really felt more hydrated in the morning after using it. especially when you think of price it has. it has a light nice smell. it doesn’t get hair to look/feel oily or greasy

  • Worked very good . but pricy and I definitely had to use this after my shampoo . I switched most of my products for this brand. I love it because it doesn't leave that white residue behind and really makes my hair smell great. The key ingredients smells incredible

  • I have every product. i dont know what to say. I love it all. the soulfood mask for your hair is to die for. they even have a shampoo and conditioner line of it and its great. I also loved the hydration line

  • I’ve used several Anika products over the years and always had a good experience. I love the instant shine and the kure mask best on my color treated hair

  • Amika products are hit or miss for me. Some are great, like the hair oil, but the repairing conditioner is just not hydrating enough for me. I will say all the products smell divine. They definitely linger in your hair too.

  • I truly love everything I’ve tried from Anika. The forget frizz line makes such a difference, especially in the summer when it is humid. I don’t think I’ve tried a product from them I don’t like. Will be refilling my shampoo.
