Reviews

Add this to your weekly hair care routine

"The clarifying shampoo does wonders for your hair. I would strongly recommend adding this to your weekly hair care routine. I have hard water and even with a softener, the hardness takes its toll on my fine hair. The shampoo safely removed product building and hard water mineral deposits. Can't wait to try more LP products. Since I started using them, I have received compliments on my hair. That hasn't happened in a long time and it's a direct result of the quality of LP products."

— Jennifer (5/5)

Miracle worker

"I bought this for my husband as he has fine, limp hair that needs washing daily! He has gone three days without washing it, so that's a miracle! When I am in M&S next, I shall buy the Full Shampoo as that is for frequent use and the clarifying one is only for use weekly! So together, they will compliment each other."

— Paula L. (5/5)

Blue and clarifying

"I have fine, thin hair that breaks easily. I'm using both this shampoo and the living Proof full hair day shampoo and testing out the "shampoo twice" method. With a condition in rhe shower and a leave in conditioner once I'm out of the shower, I'm starting to find a healthy glow with less frizz."

— Rebecca O. (5/5)

Miracle shanpoo

"Love this shampoo! It’s the only things that’s helped with my oily scalp. My hair looks SO much better on day 2, does an amazing job getting my hair clean."

— Jen (5/5)

Clean hair

"I use this product once a month to rid my hair of the products I’ve used to style it. It gives amazing results, my hair feels and looks really good. My hair is naturally straight and totally white and was looking “drab” so it needed something to help it get back to a better state. My daughter suggested Living Proof and I’m delighted with the results."

— Joan A. (5/5)

"Does what it says on the bottle"

Love love love!

"I'll admit I've never actually used a clarifying shampoo before this one but I can just tell my scalp is much healthier and feels much cleaner when I use this"

Oily Scalp Trying To Find The Right One

"It is a good shampoo for oily scalp and to clean hair residue. It cleans very well even though I have to use a lot. In the first wash my hair started itching after 2 days. I have to wash 2 times (after 4 days of the first wash) for better results. The hair feels dry right after the wash, but then it gets more soft, manageable, and looks nice. I just wish Livingproof could make a shampoo just for oily scalp that can be used daily or every 2 days. I have tried the full shampoo, frizz shampoo, and the restore during summer where for me it is the season to try if you have oily scalp. They did not work because my scalp and hair got oily and stinky. IF YOU HAVE OILY SCALP AVOID THEM. I will advise to get the small containers and try them on summer. I am sure during winter they work great, but if you buy a big bottle you will be disappointed during summer. This next summer I will try the curly, and perfect hair day shampoo. I will update on that."

— Viviana M. (4/5)

A needed product

"I actually never write reviews about products but this one simply needs one. It’s amzing my hair was greasy after washing and this product removed all of the buildup in my hair! My hair has never felt better, feels like I just went to the salon and got it done"

— Marisa W. (5/5)

I live this shampoo. It

"I live this shampoo. It gets rid of the product on my hair."

Our new Clarifying Detox Shampoo is the same effective yet gentle formula as Perfect hair Day™ Triple Detox Shampoo, however, we upgraded the size to an 8oz bottle and gave it a fresh, new scent.
