When it comes to extending the life of a blowout or refreshing hair between washes, NewBeauty readers have a clear favorite: Living Proof Dry Shampoo ($30). In our recent survey of more than 1,500 readers, an impressive 66 percent of respondents reported using Living Proof products, with their dry shampoo emerging as a clear favorite.
The praise for the hair-perfecting formula is nearly universal across all age groups. A 48-year-old reader shares, “I’ve never had a bad experience with Living Proof. Their dry shampoo is one of the best I’ve ever used. No white residue and an honestly CLEAN feeling.” Another 42-year-old reader notes, “Living Proof is designed by scientists and that fact is clear when you use the brand’s products. My favorite product is the dry shampoo. I have tried many over the years and they all pale in comparison. It removes grease and does an amazing job of making it look like you just washed your hair. It does not leave a cast or film on your hair.”
The product’s ability to create the illusion of freshly washed hair without any telltale signs of dry shampoo use is a major selling point. A 56-year-old reader raves, “I adore Living Proof! Probably my favorite product is the dry shampoo. It leaves no residue or powder behind, just thick, non greasy perfect hair!”
Even those who have extensively tested other brands find themselves coming back to Living Proof. A 54-year-old reader says, “Living Proof carries by far the best dry shampoo. I have tested countless brands and none hold up.”
While some dry shampoos can leave a strong, artificial scent, Living Proof seems to avoid this common pitfall. A 35-year-old reader shares, “They have THE BEST dry shampoo hands down. It leaves a little bit of white residue when you first spray it in but disappears when you run your fingers through it. Doesn’t have a gross smell and is long-lasting. The best I’ve ever tried.”
The consistency of the product’s performance is another frequently mentioned benefit. A 34-year-old reader simply states, “Living Proof works. It’s never once failed me, especially when I looked for very specific things I needed from said product.” Perhaps the most powerful endorsement comes from a 49-year-old reader who declares it “The best dry shampoo on the market!”
Living Proof offers two dry shampoo formulas: Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo ($30), which offers a traditional hair refresh and volume boost (one is sold every six second!), and Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo ($33), a breakthrough formula that acts as a no-rinse shampoo, removing sweat, oil and odor in just a few spritzes. Regardless of which you choose to incorporate into your routine, one thing’s for sure: your hair will thank you.
