"Try to run it under some warm water, the nozzle nope, nothing worked, nothing at all. This is a full full dry shampoo, can't use it, completely unusable. [...] I switched to another brand because that was just happening way too often and I was over it. [...] A lot of you have been having that same struggle with Living Proof. It's really disappointing. Hopefully it's just a manufacturing error, [...] but until I can be sure that I will not be receiving a dud, I am not buying it anymore."

"My living proof has been getting clogged. [...] This is actually the second time that I've been using the Living Proof dry shampoo and after a few days the nozzle won't go anymore. This is a second bottle where it's been like a full bottle and I've just been like so sucks."

I’m sorry, hot girls wanna talk hygiene??

"It never worked, it always left a film on my hair. [...] Living Proof dry shampoo is the best dry shampoo I've ever used ever. It actually makes my hair feel clean. My process is [...] I wash my hair at night, then in the morning I'll mist my hair, blow dry, don't really need any additional product. The next day, same thing, [...] mist my hair, blow dry, dry shampoo. Now I can push that one more day if I need to."

It's a NOPE for me

"Try to run it under some warm water, the nozzle nope, nothing worked, nothing at all. This is a full full dry shampoo, can't use it, completely unusable. [...] I switched to another brand because that was just happening way too often and I was over it. [...] A lot of you have been having that same struggle with Living Proof. It's really disappointing.

Everything in my travel bag, minis GALORE

"I have a dry shampoo, Living Proof mini dry shampoo, it's a necessity for me when I'm traveling. I try to only wash my hair every like three days or so, and [...] I usually can get away with using a dry shampoo only once before I have to wash it. [...] Living Proof is the best one, it's the only one that keeps my hair feeling clean, actually cleans hair."

The products I recommend in REAL LIFE

"When the bleach is gone my hair gets [...] greasy and I'm not trying to wash my hair every day because that just kind of exacerbates the problem. The Living Proof dry shampoo is the only one that keeps my hair clean. [...] It's just the best, [...] the only one that I would ever recommend, and this is coming from a girl with very very fine greasy hair."

"The one that I always use is from Living Proof, their Perfect Hair Day PhD dry shampoo. This is just a great refreshing, I really love this scent, makes me feel instantly refreshed when I use it. It helps to absorb any excessive oil, sebum, and odor from your scalp. I spray it the night before before I sleep, so [...] it's best to use it at night before you sleep. It's really easy to use and I love the fact it doesn't leave any visible particles, especially with my darker hair."

"I tried it and it really didn't work better than any other dry shampoo. As a matter of fact, I liked it much less than most other dry shampoos I've tried. This one felt really wet going on, but it's almost like they just went overboard with the masking fragrance. The fragrance was just too much for me. [...] I didn't like how it made my hair look. I didn't like how it made my hair feel. And I really couldn't stand the smell of it. The smell is so strong and it was with me all day long."

"I love the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day PhD Dry Shampoo because it's a really nice balance of absorbing the oil in your hair so it doesn't look greasy, but it also doesn't deposit so much residue that it looks like you have a bunch of crap in your hair. [...] With some dry shampoos, you put them in the morning and your hair looks great, but by midday your hair looks greasy again. That's not the case with this one."
