Reviews

Love it!

"I like to air dry my hair. I have curly hair. It goes full fuzz ball with a hair dryer. Plus, air drying takes less time and avoids heat damage. Nothing has worked for me like Living Proof products! This product is no different. My hair looks great, but still natural. Less sticky than mousse and feels better. Folks think I'm just naturally blessed. They have no idea the years of hair agony I've endured before finding Living Proof. Highly recommend adding it to your routine :)"

— Gladys D. (5/5)

Fabulous Product

"This is a great product for naturally curly or wavy hair. Just put it on your damp hair, do a little scrunching while it air dries and you will have gorgeous full curls that don’t wilt. It tames frizz. I use with anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner."

— Diane (5/5)

Not for straight hair

"I wanted so much to love this. I have thick, straight hair that sometimes has a slight wave to it. I tried this product on towel dried wet hair and on damp hair, and I tried different amounts and application methods. Invariably, the result was a lot of frizz and and greasy roots. I suspect it's just not made for straight hair, but I wish that was clearly stated somewhere. Hoping my curly-haired boyfriend has more luck with it."

— Kyra N. (2/5)

Next Level

"I added it to my existing curl routine, that needed an oomph. It's better than I expected! LOVE everything I have ever tried from Living Proof. This keeps the trend going."

— Nanci K. (5/5)

The greatest product I've ever found for my hair

"Please don't ever stop making this air dry cream, it is my absolute holy grail and I don't ever want to live without it!"

— Alison W. (5/5)

A good styling product

"This product helps me style my unruly short hair that grows in awkward directions. Unfortunately, though, it doesn't always work."

— Elena S. (4/5)

Fabulous stuff.

"So excited that LP developed this crème that you just need to apply to towel dry hair, finger style, and let dry. I don’t brush until it has dried. The result is a fuller hairstyle without all that time and electricity used up with a boring hairdryer! The styling lasts pretty much all day with no lasting residue that I have noticed."

— Judith B. (3/5)

Product great, for my air dried style

"Love the product, don't like the smell. I prefer my hair products unscented."

— Patricia T. (5/5)

Holds a curl well without fuss or frizz.

"My hair is slightly wavy and normally when I leave it to dry naturally it ends up looking mad frizzy. This helps with the frizz so it’s more beachy which is great for holidays and lazy mornings. No particular smell and no crunch. Best product of this type I have tried."

— Kim N. (5/5)

Air Dry Styler

"I went to a short bob cut and am enjoying some natural wave in my hair. This air-dry styler has been fabulous for air drying my hair and giving some definition to the wave."

— Leslie B. (5/5)
