Reviews

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)

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)

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)

A lovely product to use

"A lovely product to use but I was hoping it would do more for softness than it did."

— Vanda J. (4/5)

Kind of meh

"I liked that this product wasn't super "crunchy" like some that leave a stiff caste, but found that isn't as effective as I had hoped; limp and on the dry side after air drying. I get much better results for my curly/wavy situation with the 5-in-1 styling treatment."
