What makes Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo different than others on the market?

There are countless dry shampoo options available – aerosols, powders, clear formulas, tinted options – that don’t actually clean your hair. In fact, the powder-based formulas soak up oil (not sweat) and leave behind a residue that you can see and feel. PhD Dry Shampoo was designed to mimic a regular shampoo and the effects of washing your hair, giving you similar results as if you just washed it in the shower. Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo can clean beyond an ordinary dry shampoo, absorbing oil, sweat, and odor.

I have curly hair and don’t want to break up my curls, how should I use Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo?

Apply Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo as directed. Instead of massaging with fingers or brushing hair you can use a blow dryer on low speed to remove the powders from hair (the force of the air will remove powders without disrupting curls).

Does it work on all hair types?

Yes, it can be used on any hair type. For thicker, coarser hair texture, section more thoroughly. For curly hair, remove powders with a blow dryer (vs. fingers or brush, which will deconstruct the curl).

Can you layer with other products?

Yes, you can use PhD Dry Shampoo on top of hair products you used on damp hair to style (i.e. styling cream followed later in the day or the next day with dry shampoo). You can also use PhD Dry Shampoo before using products on dry hair to re-touch (i.e. dry shampoo followed by hairspray or finishing serum).

How does it interact with other types of products?

PhD Dry Shampoo is compatible with all Living Proof care and styling products. The powders in dry shampoo may stick more to resin-base products (i.e. products that have hold). The powders should still be easily removed. If you do still see powders after using fingers and/or brush, use a blow dryer for more thorough removal.

How much should I spray?

The amount of dry shampoo depends on your hair type and the level of oil, sweat and odor in hair. Section hair, spray for 1-2 seconds at a time. Wait 30 seconds for the powders to activate and cleanse. Remove by massaging your hair with fingers or brushing your hair. Then, add more as needed.

I see white residue. What should I do?

White residue that is easy to remove is normal and expected–especially if you have dark hair. To remove the white residue, rub and massage hair with fingers and/or use brush. A boar’s bristle brush will be the most efficient in removing the powders. If white residue still exists, use a blow dryer.

Does this break down or remove (clean) other products from your hair?

No, we know you worked hard for your style and don’t want to start from scratch. PhD Dry Shampoo absorbs and removes just the bad–oil, sweat and odor.

What is the fragrance used in Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo?

The fragrance in Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo is light citrus scent that’s similar to what’s found in most other Living Proof products.

Reviews

Was ok but I was underwhelmed

"Really wasn’t a fan of all the white residue, it wasn’t really a step up from original batiste. It didn’t leave my hair feeling that gritty way though! But for the cost I just am not feeling the hype as a brunette who really doesn’t want all the residue to add extra work"

— Jaimie I. (4/5)

Proof is in the pudding

"I love this dry shampoo, gives my hair the refresh I need to stretch my washes a couple more days. Great for day to day and I don't travel without it. I spray it on at night and like magic I'm good to go on the morning! Best dry shampoo I've tried that doesn't weigh me down."

— Lauren (5/5)

My go to dry shampoo

"my absolute favorite dry shampoo, my hair gets oily and flat after one day. This dry shampoo adds volume and makes my hair look fresh like just washed."

— Sylvia (5/5)

Use Both Versions of LP's Dry Shampoo

"I use both versions of Living Proof's Dry Shampoo. I have fine hair, yet a lot of it (well, less than I used to ;-). I use this version - Original PhD Dry Shampoo - for texture and lift. I also use the Texture Spray, yet this product is a bit less "scrunchy". I tend to use the Advanced Dry Shampoo for actually "cleaning" my dry hair; I also like the bit of shine it gives (unlike this version, which doesn't at all), as well as the less-strong scent. That's mostly why it gets 4 stars instead of five: I wish Living Proof would come out with unscented or less-scented hair products. Not everyone wants their hair care products to be perfune-y, even if the scent isn't offensive. That, and these products are costly. Yet they are the best dry-shampoos I've used."

— Bhavani S. (4/5)
