What the gurus are saying

This dry shampoo earns widespread praise for absorbing oil without the white cast or crusty buildup that plagues many competitors. Gurus prize how it feels lightweight, adds volume, and leaves hair clean rather than weighed down. One notable exception: those with very fine hair may find it deposits a heavy film that dulls their strands, so a patch test on a small section makes sense if your hair leans delicate.

"Another brand that is really good is this one called Living Proof. I got this from Amazon. It's their advanced clean dry shampoo. This is really good. I like the smell, but compared to the hair by anyone, I prefer the fragrance on that one much better. But this is a very good dry shampoo. Is a powerhouse."

"This is the worst dry shampoo I have ever used. It [...] puts this weird heavy film on my hair and it just makes my hair look lifeless. It looks dirtier than what it was prior. I've had this for a long time and I couldn't completely finish it. It just never worked for me. Maybe this would be suited for those that have thicker, coarser hair. I have pretty fine hair and maybe this is just not for my hair type. So, if you're thinking of this, I would say pass."
✓Yay
"My favorite dry shampoo again is Living Proof, this is their Advanced dry shampoo. I can't tell you how many of these I've used. I buy them in travel sizes to take along with me on vacations. It's my number one dry shampoo, absolutely love it. A little bit goes a long way."

"One of my favorite dry shampoos, it's by Living Proof, it's their Advanced dry shampoo. Love this. It also gives a little bit of bounce to my hair as well as soaking up some of the oil in between washes. I have travel sizes, I have large sizes, and this has been on repurchase ever since I tried it. I don't really like their original version, but this just works perfect for my really fine hair. It gives it a little bit of body, a little bit of bounce, and just makes it look refreshed."

"I'm going to use the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean. This stuff's great. My hair is only 2 days old but it's a bit greasy because I went for a facial and I got oil in it. This dry shampoo really is the best. I like the other one as well that they do but that Advanced Clean, it's like more powerful."
✓Yay
"It's the first time I've ever used a dry shampoo that actually felt like it was doing something. It actually makes my hair feel clean, it doesn't leave a residue, it feels nice and lightweight, it adds a little bit of body to my hair without making it look crazy. I know that this one sprays white so if you have darker hair I don't know what the review would be. I don't know if they have tinted ones."
✓Yay
"This is the only dry shampoo that I like that doesn't get all gunky and crusty up in my scalp. [...] It is living proof of a perfect hair day. It doesn't make my hair nasty, helps it stay oil-free, helps give it volume and it makes me look and feel my best. I am a super oily scalp lady but my hair being dark, it like shows up if there's any white powdery crusty stuff. No white powdery crusties."

"I have the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo. I even use this on clean hair at the root to give me a little more volume, especially if I'm in a climate where my hair is just looking a little bit flat or maybe I get to the hotel and because of the hard water or something my hair feels very weighed down and just doesn't have the fluff that I want. This is really nice to have."
