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 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

Reviews

Best dry shampoo

"Best dry shampoo ever! I’ve used many previously and this is the only one that I have been repurchasing."

— Lindsay P. (5/5)

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)

Dry shampoo

— Kaleena v. (4/5)

Best on market

"I just love this dry shampoo never leaves a white residue and leaves hair looking fresh"

— Sandra M. (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)

One of a kind

"After years of trying different dry shampoos, this is the best hands down."

— Patricia M. (5/5)

Best dry shampoo!

"Won’t use another dry shampoo!!"

— Abby R. (5/5)

The best dry shampoo

"I have tried so many and this is the absolute best. I have straight fine hair and it makes my wash go for days."

— Donna P. (5/5)

Q&A

I have a full size new container that I did one ‘pump’ and the it stopped. It will not spray, what can I do?: So sorry to hear this and we want to replace your item. Please contact us at questions@livingproof.com so we can assist you.
My newly purchased living proof large bottle of dry shampoo just evaporated. It hasn’t been used more than once and the can is empty. Do you know why that is and how does one recover it?: So sorry to hear this and we want to replace your item. Please contact us at questions@livingproof.com so we can assist you.
Is it pregnancy safe?: Living Proof products contain ingredients that have been reviewed extensively and tested for safety, and have been judged safe for use on women of child bearing age and women who are pregnant or nursing.
Is it safe to use a curling iron after spraying the PhD? Or is it best to use it after curling hair say on the 2nd or 3rd day?: You can use a curling iron with Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo on your hair however it does not provide heat protection therefore, we recommend using Perfect hair Day™ Heat Styling Spray or Style Lab® Flex Hairspray for heat protection prior to curling iron use.
Just purchased for the first time through a 3rd party reseller. Shook the bottle and started spraying and after about 5 seconds it stopped working. Does not appear to be clogged - top doesn’t seem to go down correctly to create spray!! Help: If purchased from an unauthorized retailer we are unable to guarantee the age or quality of a product. We suggest returning the item to place of purchase. We do indeed take such matters seriously. We would appreciate if you could send an email with the lot code of the product(s) so we are able to further investigate this.
