Amika was born in Brooklyn with a mission to make professional haircare joyful, effective, and genuinely inclusive. The brand's hero ingredient — sea buckthorn berry, native to the Himalayas — delivers an extraordinary cocktail of vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids that benefits every hair type, from fine and straight to thick and coily. Combined with clinically proven actives, sea buckthorn makes Amika products both clean and genuinely high-performing.
What makes Amika exceptional is breadth without compromise. The brand doesn't specialize in one concern — it excels across all of them. Hydro Rush delivers intense, immediate moisture. Bond Repair rebuilds structural damage. Bust Your Brass neutralizes brassiness. Reset purifies the scalp. Each line is purpose-built with targeted actives layered on top of the sea buckthorn base, ensuring every product solves a specific problem while still benefiting overall hair health.
Amika is 100% vegan, PETA-certified cruelty-free, and formulated without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, gluten, and artificial dyes. The vibrant, playful packaging is recyclable, reflecting the brand's commitment to sustainability. At ProHair.ca we carry the full Amika collection — one of the most popular professional brands with our customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is sea buckthorn and why does Amika use it?
Sea buckthorn berry is an extraordinary superfood ingredient rich in vitamins C, E, A, and K, plus omega fatty acids and carotenoids. Amika uses it as a hero ingredient because it benefits every hair type — providing antioxidant protection, deep nourishment, and natural shine across their entire product range.
Which Amika line is best for bond-damaged hair from bleaching?
Bond Repair is Amika's targeted bond-building line, featuring MFPB (Madecassoside-enhanced Flexible Protein Blend) technology that rebuilds severed bonds within the hair shaft. Use the Bond Repair Shampoo, Conditioner, and Hair Mask for intensive repair, followed by the Leave-In Treatment.
How does Bust Your Brass work?
Bust Your Brass uses purple and blue pigment molecules that temporarily neutralize yellow and orange tones on blonde, highlighted, and grey hair — the same colour theory used by professional colourists. The shampoo and mask are formulated for different levels of toning intensity.
Is Amika good for curly hair?
Yes — Curl Corps is Amika's dedicated curl line with glycerin, jojoba, and a curl-defining complex. The range is free from silicones and heavy oils that weigh down curls, making it ideal for the curly girl method.
What is the Reset Scalp Scrub?
The Reset Purifying Scalp Scrub uses physical (sugar) and chemical (AHA) exfoliation along with charcoal to deeply remove product buildup, dead skin cells, and excess oil from the scalp. It's ideal for clients who use dry shampoo frequently or have naturally oily scalps.
Does Amika have a salon exclusive range?
Amika is a professional brand distributed through salons and authorized retailers. There is no salon-exclusive range — the professional products available through ProHair.ca are the same used in salons.
