On the ingredients behind it:
- Squalane: helps protect from dehydration and restore lipid barriers, to prevent moisture loss and restore suppleness.
- Hyaluronic acid: helps plump up dry hair by drawing in moisture from the air.
- Polyglutamic acid: known to promote moisture retention.
- Bio-fermented coconut water: contains electrolytes, monolaurin, lauric acid and plant hormones to add natural hydration.
- Blue/green algae: provides essential fatty acids, amino acids, vitamin A and beta-carotene.
- Sea buckthorn: a plant source of the fatty acid omega 7, with vitamins C and A, sustainably sourced from Tibet.
It is paired with the leave-in conditioner, the hair mask with hyaluronic acid and the Dream Routine overnight mask. See them with the rest of Amika's Hydro Rush range.

Before you buy
Does it contain silicones or sulfates? Neither. It is labelled silicone-free and sulfate free, with no parabens and no mineral oil. The ingredient list does include fragrance.
Will the results hold if I use a different shampoo? The published figures were measured only with the Hydro Rush shampoo and conditioner together, so they say nothing about other pairings.
Can the ingredient list change? It can. To confirm the formula suits you, check the list printed on your bottle.
How to use it
After shampooing, massage from mid-lengths to ends. Leave it on for 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse. Avoid contact with eyes.
Use it after the Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo, as part of your wash care routine. The results above were measured with the two used together.
The pump on the 33.8 oz bottle has to be released before first use. Hold the dip tube with one hand and twist the pump top with the other.
