Living Proof as a brand, is one I absolutely love. If you haven't come across them before, their range of products has been developed by world-class biotech scientists and beauty experts, who have taken it upon themselves to solve the root causes of everyone’s top hair concerns - be it frizz, damage, and fullness to name just a few.
With their team of stylists and scientists, they came together to analyse 100's of competitive products that have been on the market for the last 30 years and what they found was that the traditional beauty industry relies on heavy silicone's that mask hair symptoms but don’t really solve them. So, taking that in account, they have crated a whole range of products for different hair types, concerns and I am yet to find a single product that my hair doesn't love.
One of my favourite products is the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo which I have featured on my blog many, many times and now, but excitingly the original product has a big sister with the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo and it might just be my new favourite.
I have combination hair, so greasy roots and dry ends and I tend to wash my hair every other day otherwise I look horrendous and my hair just doesn't sit right. Over the years, I have tried many, many dry shampoos and whilst they do the job they are designed to do - usually absorb excess oil and mask the scent of unwashed hair, my problem is my scalp is really picky and I tend to find they irritate or itch my scalp after an hour or two after application, except not with Living Proof.
Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo is the ultimate dry shampoo experience. It not only keeps hair clean between washes, it delivers results comparable to a rinse-out shampoo. It works by using fast-absorbing powders to soak up oil, sweat, and odor; then our advanced powder removal system easily eliminates activated powders for a fresh start. Finishing and conditioning agents refresh your scalp and balance sebum levels — leaving hair soft, shiny, and more manageable.
Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo contains conditioning agents that work to leave your hair feeling soft, shiny, and manageable, without the tell-tale sign that you have used a dry shampoo, essentially there is no white powder all over your shoulders and within your hair, so you won't look as though you have been merrily spraying flour or talc around yourself in an effort to disguise your greasy hair.
The advice when using this product is to really give the can a good shake and then holding it approximately 6 inches from your head, spray the dry shampoo onto your hair. I always section my hair when I use this product to ensure I get all the parts I need to get and then, following the advice, wait for around 30 seconds and massage my head to remove any loose powder and then style my hair. As this can has a specially designed nozzle, it does ensure you get an even application.
What this Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo gives me is up to 2 extra days of not having to wash my hair if I don't want too. Whereas the original Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo is perfect for use on day 2 hair, you can get away with using the Advanced option on day 2, 3 or 4 and it has the same result. So, whilst I will always know my when my hair needs washing, I now don't feel that I need to rush in a morning and I love that this does clean my hair and leaving it feeling and smelling fresh.
On sale now, the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo is priced at £23 and can be found via Space NK, Cult Beauty and Lookfantastic to name a few places.
