The beloved 3-in-1 formula in
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo gets rid of oil, sweat, and odor so your hair looks
and smells fresh.
What sets Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo apart from the rest is its innovative formula that aims to cut down on oily roots, sweat, and natural-but-not-pleasant odors that come with skipping a wash (which no one except maybe your S.O. will notice, but you know it's there). The result is basically clean hair without jacking up your water bill.
The key though is to let the product sit for at least 30 seconds so it can actually clean, degrease, and deodorize, instead of just sitting on top of your hair and masking oil. Then you just massage it into your roots, which I find that it gives me better results than brushing out.
I'm not too proud to admit that I have two bottles of Perfect Hair Day underneath my bathroom sink in case I ever run out, which happens more often than you'd imagine since I use this three times a week. I also have four bottles of our much more affordable Dove pick because it's $4 compared to $24.
Don't get me wrong though — Perfect Hair Day is still worth every penny. Byrdie's Victoria Hoff put it through the ringer with a SoulCycle class and Refinery29 said it made the writer's hair actually feel clean instead of masking oil and sweat in its Cult Classics column.
One Sephora reviewer actually said it dethroned her old favorite, though we're not totally surprised since Perfect Hair Day has an impressive 4.4 out of 5 stars with more than 2,000 5-star reviews. Some commenters complained about a too-strong scent, but I don't mind it — especially if it's going to help remove and neutralize the smell of second-day hair. — Jada Wong
Pros: Removes odors from scalp and hair that result from not washing, massages and brushes out well without residue, adds volumize, easy spray application
Cons: Some users have complained about the strong scent, can be pricey, needs to set for 30 seconds before brushing out
