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.

Works so well for my Hair and keeps it protected
Amika has really fun aesthetic! I particularly love their purple shampoo to tone my blonde, I’ve used it for years! I also have their hair straightener which came in a really fun design. The latest product I tried from them is their instant shine hair mask and it’s 10/10 for softening my hair. I continually notice a difference all week long.
Amika has completely won me over with their hair products! They offer a wide range of collections that cater to every hair type, texture, and style, and I’ve found something that works perfectly for my hair. The shampoos and conditioners are nourishing and leave my hair feeling soft, shiny, and healthy without weighing it down. I love their signature scent—it’s light and refreshing, but not overpowering. The styling products, like their dry shampoo and heat protectant spray, are essential in my routine and really help keep my hair looking flawless all day. Whether you have curly, straight, thick, or fine hair, Amika has something that will leave your hair looking and feeling amazing!
Amika Dry Shampoo is a total lifesaver! It instantly refreshes my hair, absorbs oil, and adds volume without leaving any white residue. The scent is absolutely amazing—light, clean, and not overpowering—and it makes my hair smell freshly washed all day long. It’s perfect for busy mornings or extending a blowout, and a little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts forever. My hair feels clean and looks revived every time I use it. If you’re looking for a dry shampoo that actually works and smells incredible, Amika is the one. Highly recommend!

I got the hydro dream travel size package for a 3-week cross-country trip and I was shocked that it lasted throughout the entire thing. The products also worked well with my curly hair.
I heard great things about Amika and tried a mini version of their dry shampoo - unfortunately it just didn't work well for me. I'm not a big dry shampoo person to begin with but wanted to give this a try. I really couldn't stand the way it sprayed, even while holding it pretty far away from my scalp. It was very powdery once it was sprayed on my hair and left a lot of residue on my roots even after massaging it in. It made my thick, wavy/curly, black hair look white/gray and was very hard to blend. Really disappointed in the dry shampoo. One product that I did love from them is the Dream Routine Overnight Hydrating Hair Mask! That specific product made my hair feel really soft the next day, and I'd recommend this specific product.

I have loved almost EVERY Amika product - the 3d volume and thickening line does nothing for me though, not bad, but nothing special. I have medium wavy hair. I LOVE their kure line - every product works as advertised - better than the other bonding brand everyone talks about by far! Their normcore shampoo/conditioner makes my hair look and feel great. I have purchased and gifted their dry shampoo. I recommend them constantly! They run good sales, and have absolutely been worth it for me. Cute packaging is a plus.
Over the years I’ve tried their shampoo & conditioner, hair mask, dry shampoo, and heat protector. I’ve liked all of their products, especially their heat protector spray; it is so light it doesn’t weigh your hair down or leave any residue. The dry shampoo is one of my favorites, disappearing quickly. And the conditioner and mask leave my hair feeling so healthy.
Hi, so I bought and used the Amika "Flash" instant shine mask and the Amika "The Kure" multi-task repair treatment. let me tell you, I receive so many compliments on my hair when I use either product. At first, it seems like nothing is really happening but when I'm styling my hair...the proof comes in and shows. Not only is Amika a great product for hair strands, it smells good too.
I have gotten samples of Amika over the years. Everything always smells so good. Recently I wanted to switch up my hair care routine, so I ended up buying quite a few products from Sephora. I haven't been disappointed yet. My hair usually gets so tangled and these products have helped tremendously and always smell so good, which is def a bonus :) I also love their dry shampoo - it is easy to blend and doesn't leave a white residue.
My 16 year old daughter loves Amika. I can not speak to it's efficacy, for my own tastes, the scents are over powering. They may make sense to the younger population, but for anyone over the age of 30, the scents are unsophisticated and overwhelm any other scent one may be wearing.
I have tried their mousse, hair mask, dry shampoo and hair shine mask. I am obsessed and their products smell amazing!

I got some samples from Sephora for my birthday and I didn’t regret, so worth it!!!
I am obsessed with their dry shampoo. I think it’s one of the best out there.
I've tried multiple Amika products - the Scalp Cleansing Oil and the Flash Instant Shine Mask are my absolute favorite. The Cleansing Oil has a minty feel that leaves my scalp feeling clean and fresh for longer periods of time, and the Shine Mask leaves my hair so soft and shiny. The Perk Up dry shampoo is also another that I've purchased over and over again.
Had a trial size of their nourishing hair mask, I didn't see much difference on my Asian hair. For the price there are other products that worked better for me.
This is one of my favorite hair product companies. I have been using the Velveteen Dream shampoo and conditioner for the past 2 years. Love the smell and how smooth it makes my hair. I also use their dry shampoo and curl cream. Their products really help define my curls and keep my hair from knotting. I also think their dry shampoo is one of the best smelling dry shampoos I've used! The only down fall is their products can be a bit pricey and I always have to order it online. But still definitely worth it!
Product smell is WAY too strong. Lingers all day and drives me sick. Moisturizes well but can't do the scent personally.

I’ve only tried the hair mask “soulfood” but I’m obsessed. I use it once a week to really deep condition my hair.
