  • Addictive signature fragrance
  • Effective dry shampoo

  • Overpowering fragrance intensity
  • Heavy formulas on fine hair
  • Inconsistent line performance
  • Potential scalp irritation

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've tried a few of their products and I've never really liked any of them. They just haven't worked all that well for me. I wouldn't spend money on a full size product.

    While other people seem to enjoy this brand, I'm not a fan... I've tried hair masks and other products and nine of it has been a good fit...

  • heir products are specially designed to address the needs of every hair type, texture, and style - something I found to be especially impressive. The quality is top-notch and really makes a difference in the way my hair looks and feels after using them. Plus, I am able to create different styles that look great without too much effort. The pricing is also very reasonable so it's easy to make healthy haircare choices without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!

  • I have been using Amika products for the last few years. I love their hair masks and leave-in conditioners. I have not yet tried a product from them that I do not like. They are a great brand and available to purchase from many stores like Sephora.

    I have tried many products from this brand and by far like their hair masks the best. They provide enough hydration for my hair without weighing it down. Highly recommend this brand.

  • I’m a big fan of Amika’s Soulfood Nourishing Mask. It smells wonderful and it so hydrating for my curly hair which tends to get a bit dried out normally. I also love the bright, mandala design on their packaging. Always a fun and cheery product to have sitting on the shelf in the shower!

  • Amika has the best hair care products around!! Not to mention the absolute cutest packaging!! The fragrance is great and makes my hair a 10/10 every time!!

  • Their dry shampoo and dry conditioner are the only ones I swear by, and they smell great.

  • The Amika Un.Done Volume & Matte Texture Spray works amazingly to give my whispy bangs some life. Nothing is worse than having a bad hair day, and specifically, a bad bangs day. The volume and texture of the spray give my bangs from going flat and sticking to my forehead during the humid summer air.

  • Obsessed! I’ve only used their dry shampoo, and funny enough, it was the first one I ever tried years ago. It’s still my go-to! It definitely smells the best compared to other products on the market!

    I know people complain about the white residue, but just be more upfront about how dry shampoo should be used. Once you get the product deep in your roots, the white stuff goes away. It seems like a ton of folks don’t know this, which is surprising…

  • The BEST dry shampoo I've ever used and they have such an amazing scent. I'm looking forward to trying their volumizing mousse and anti-humidity shield!

  • I got their Perk Up Dry Shampoo as a sample in the Allure Beauty Box and then ended up buying the full size. It is by far my favorite dry shampoo and feels and smells really good. I'd love to try their other products.

    None!

  • Bought the hair crimper - does the trick, but one button got jammed in and I haven't been able to fix it. Not sure it's worth the price for the issues that have occurred in the short time I've used it.

  • The dry shampoo is the BEST. It is the only dry shampoo I have noticed actually work and not leave a weird residue to my hair. The hair shine product is also amazing as it gives it the right amount of gloss without looking greasy.

  • I liked the hair mask products from amika best. I think it's worth trying if you are looking to nourish and moisturize your hair from heat damage (using a blow dryer, hair straightener, etc.).

  • Everything from Amika works really well and they’re at a good price point. The fragrance of the product is just very strong and not to my personal taste.

  • I’ve loved all the Amika products I’ve tried! My favorite is the orange hair mask, but I live all the scents and packaging as well. Luxury, but feels fun!

    The shampoos and conditioners come in small amounts, which is hard for people with lots of hair, I go through the shampoos and conditioners very quickly.

  • I couldn't live without my Amika dry shampoo! It's an every other day staple, I love the smell and it doesn't turn my hair "white" like other dry shampoos do. I also love the colorful packaging.

  • I have used their dry shampoo and I won't be buying it again. It smells great, and it works but there are other brands that work much better.
