Not as Good as the Original
I had high hopes for this dry shampoo as I've also enjoyed Living Proof's original Perfect Hair Day, but the performance is very lackluster. Does an abysmal job soaking up grease and providing volume - no matter how long and hard you shake the can. Even worse, the smell is downright awful. I've never been a smell-averse person, and this dry shampoo had me gagging. I was trying to finish the can, because it was pretty expensive, and I had to throw it away. I'll be going back to the original.
Not great
The scent is not terrible, but its extremely strong. It leaves my hair flat and full of static. No volume at all. It cleans my scalp okay, but nothing superior to any other brand and not an improvement from the original formula. The nozzle also clogs after 2-3 sprays and has to be cleaned and run under hot water just get a few more sprays out to finish the job. I can't even spray my whole head before having the nozzle clog. Would not buy again.
GET IT!
Okay, my hair gets super greasy really fast, I would shower and it would get super greasy within hours. Luckily, I found out about this product and it is literally HEAVEN. I read the reviews and I noticed how people said the smell throws them off but honestly, it smells kind of like baby powder. The smell isn't bad. It does have someone of a dry cast when you spray it but you just have to work it into your hair by rubbing your head to get rid of the cast. Overall, it is the best dry shampoo ever. It removes all grease from your hair.
looked like I had dandruff
i believe it worked OK in getting rid of oil, nothing special with volumizing could get a pharmacy brand to do the same. the smell wasn't bad (and I have a sensitive nose). the #1 reson I will never buy again is because it left my hair with dandruff flakes and I've never had dandruff before or after I stopped using this! I do have dark hair and the flakes were white like actual dandruff! I did try it a couple times to make sure I wasn't crazy or doing something wrong but it was definitely this. also made my head itchy....though everytime I've scratched my head without using this dry shampoo I don't have dandruff looking stuff in my hair. it was embarrassing and won't buy again.
Works well, Smell is a LOT
The dry shampoo works well. It worked well on very oily hair. My hair feels clean, and there isn't a white cast (on my blonde hair); however, the smell is so strong. I haven't seen anyone dislike the smell, but personally, it is not my favorite, and I could smell the dry shampoo all day. If you work with children or in a hospital, the smell is much too strong to use, but regardless, the smell is a lot all day.
Bottom line: If you like the smell and don't mind the strength or long-lasting aspect to it, you should buy this because it does work well! Don't buy without smelling.
Worth the Price!
There are so many brands that claim that their dry shampoo really helps to clean your hair, make it feel freshly-washed, smell clean, feel amazing, etc but I haven't found a product yet that really manages to truly make my hair feel cleaner...until now. When I was gifted this from Living Proof I was very skeptical that it would be any different from any other brand but I was pleasantly surprised. Is it going to be as good as really washing my hair? No, but it's the best dry shampoo that I've found thus far that doesn't make my hair feel gritty or sticky or leave an awful cast. It makes my hair smell better, look less oily, and it even refreshes my hairstyle a bit. Admittedly, it's pricier than some of the other options that are available but in this case I think that it's worth the extra cost.
Highly recommend for that clean hair look
I have not tried many Living Proof hair products, so I was not sure what to expect when testing out this dry shampoo for the first time. Happy to say, I am very impressed! This shampoo revives my hair on the in-between wash days and makes it look very clean! It even volumizes my hair a bit which I also really enjoy. Also love that it comes in sustainable packaging and is cruelty free.
Love this dry shampoo
I got this dry shampoo gifted by Living Proof and I cannot thank enough. I have a very oily hair and it's impossible to wash my hair every day. I try to wash it twice a lot because of shedding problem. This dry shampoo has been a life saver. It has saved me a lot of time and very convenient to use. I see myself using it for the longest time. The hair looks so clean. It is free of sulphates and silicone, so even better for my hair. I recommend this to everyone.
Dry shampoo
Recently I tried the Living Proof Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo. First, you shake the can really well then spray 6 to 10 inches away from your hair. Go around your head and spray 3 or 4 times. I tried it on day 4 hair. It helped absorb the grease from my scalp and made my hair shiny. I received this product complimentary from Living Proof.
Pretty Good!
I was sent this complimentary from Living Proof in exchange for my honest review. I'd never tried a dry shampoo before and wasn't sure if it was for me, however after trying this, I'm pretty impressed as if helped make my hair feel less oily/greasy. However I don't think this will help much past second day hair as my hair is just too thin and oily.
