Learn how to set up, refill, and care for your Forever Friend refillable shampoo and conditioner bottles. Step-by-step instructions for sustainable haircare.

Quick answer

To use your Forever Friend refillable bottles, first remove the pump and fill with your favorite amika shampoo or conditioner. Use as normal, then rinse and refill when empty.

Why choose refillable bottles?

Refillable bottles reduce single-use plastic waste over time. The Forever Friend bottle is made with BPA-free and EA-free Eastman Tritan™ plastic, which reduces environmental impact by 69% compared to standard plastic bottles. It's a practical step toward more sustainable haircare without changing your routine.

How to use your Forever Friend refillable bottles

  1. Remove the pump and clean the bottle: Unscrew the pump from the bottle. Rinse the bottle with warm water to remove any dust or residue. The bottle is dishwasher safe, so you can place it on the top rack for a thorough clean. Always start with a clean, dry bottle to avoid mixing old product with new.
  2. Fill with your preferred shampoo or conditioner: Pour your amika shampoo or conditioner into the bottle. Leave a small gap at the top so the pump can be reattached without overflowing. Screw the pump back on tightly. Don't overfill—leave about 1 cm of space at the neck.
  3. Use as you normally would: Pump the desired amount into your hand or directly onto your hair. Use as you would any standard shampoo or conditioner bottle. The pump delivers a consistent dose, so you can control how much product you use. If the pump feels stiff, prime it by pressing a few times before first use.
  4. Refill when empty: Once the bottle is empty, rinse it out with warm water. You can reuse it indefinitely by refilling from larger amika sizes or bulk containers. The durable plastic is designed for many cycles. Avoid using harsh scrubbing pads that could scratch the Tritan™ plastic.
  5. Clean periodically: Every few refills, wash the bottle and pump in warm soapy water or run them through the dishwasher (top rack). This prevents product buildup and keeps the pump working smoothly. Let all parts dry completely before reassembling to prevent mold or bacteria growth.
