There are a lot of cool things out there that make us wonder — do they really work? In our I Tried It series, we set out to use them in the real world and have determined that, in fact, they really do.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I did not want to fall in love with Living Proof's Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo. But I did.
Literally every editor of every publication I hold near to my heart swears by this stuff. It's been hyped so much that it just seemed like it was too good to be true, but in this spirit of beauty journalism, I gave it a shot to prove itself to me. Spoiler alert: It did, and now I agree with everything everyone else has been saying for years. Sometimes, you just can't fight the truth.
If you'd like to see visual proof of its magic, take a peek at the video below:
In the past, I used whatever I had on hand (I will always have a special place in my heart for the R+Co and Amika dry shampoos, btw!), but I didn't have that one holy grail dry shampoo that I felt did everything and I could confidently say "this is the best."
I realized, after a few styling sessions with my new fav, what was missing with all the others was that my hair wasn't actually being cleaned. Volumized, yes. Texturized, yes. Lightly refreshed and smelling better, yes. But not cleaned.
I discovered the true star of the formula (and what sets Living's Proof's dry shampoo apart from the rest of the pack), is the brand's patented OFPMA molecule. This innovative ingredient actually cleans the hair and repels dirt and oil, instead of only masking dirty strands with powders and perfumes. Thanks to the inclusion of this "healthy hair" molecule, Living Proof's dry shampoo effectively absorbs and eliminates oil, sweat, and odor to take it a step beyond refreshing the hair.
It also works wonders as a styler, imparting the perfect amount of volume and texture to give those beach waves some extra oomph. It has earned a permanent spot on my vanity, and I'm now proud to admit that I'm a believer.
