What’s the difference between Perfect hair Day™ Original Dry Shampoo and Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo?

Choose your dry shampoo based on when you’re most likely to use it or for the look and feel you want. Original Dry Shampoo When to use: Right before washday or when you have excess sweat or oil (e.g., post workout). Look + feel: Lightly textured feel + added body. Cleaning results: Clean roots + detoxified scalp. Fragrance: Signature fresh, time-release scent. Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo When to use: To extend time between washes + preserve the style you have. Look + feel: Soft, freshly washed look and feel + added shine. Cleaning results: Clean roots, detoxified scalp + conditioned ends. Fragrance: Light scent.

How do dry shampoos clean hair?

Many dry shampoos do not actually clean hair. They soak up oils, but in their place leave powders and residue. That’s not clean hair – that’s just dirty hair in disguise. In 2015, Living Proof set out to change that: We launched our Living Proof Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo that’s formulated to actually clean hair, eliminating oil, sweat and odor. Since then, we’ve added Living Proof Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo to our offerings – it doesn’t just clean hair, it also cares for it as well, adding softness, manageability, and shine. It’s formulated to mimic the cleaning process and care benefits of a rinse-out shampoo, but without the shower. The cleaning process is simple: First, our new delivery system starts the cleaning process with a uniform application, allowing fast-absorbing powders to soak up oil, sweat, and odor. Then, the new powder removal system easily eliminates activated powders for a fresh start. Finally, our finishing and conditioning ingredient blend refreshes your scalp, balances sebum levels, and leaves hair conditioned, soft, shiny, and more manageable.

Do dry shampoos leave a white residue?

Many dry shampoos soak up oils and in their place leave powders that are difficult to remove, thus leaving a visible white and textured residue on your hair. However, with our dry shampoos, white residue that’s easy to remove is normal and expected – especially if you have dark hair. The white residue highlights where you’ll need to shake out powders, while the powder removal system works to leave behind no visible or textured residue after shaking or combing out your hair. Allow us to reintroduce you to your hair that only feels and looks like it’s freshly washed.

Is dry shampoo bad for your hair?

No, and not all dry shampoos are created alike. In fact, by using our Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo, you’ll be able to go longer between rinse-out shampoo washes and reduce the amount of harmful heat styling. Frequent washing and styling increases the amount of damage and puts sebum production into overdrive as your scalp attempts to rebalance its levels. Using our Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo in between washes means that you can wash and style less frequently, lowering the exposure to these damaging events and ultimately improving hair health over time. Some other great benefits of using Living Proof dry shampoo include: Quick and convenient Cleans and cares like a rinse-out shampoo Delivers a clean-smelling scent Keeps styled or curly hair intact Allows you to preserve colored hair longer Saves you time in your day
