I was contacted by Living Proof to try out some of their hair products, but I was definitely not a stranger to their products. I had previously used their 5-in-1 Styling Treatment and samples of their Perfect Hair Day Shampoo and Perfect Hair Day Conditioner from Sephora. I was really excited to try out these products on my long, color-treated hair. With my hair being a dyed auburn red, it has been more important to me than ever before to use good hair products and treat my hair well. I’ve got my full review inside and plenty of pictures of my hair so you can see firsthand just how amazing these products are.
I was sent 3 products:
- Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo
- Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Conditioner
- Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5-in-1 Styling Treatment
The Perfect Hair Day Line contains Living Proof’s award winning, patented molecules: OFPMA to weightlessly smooth, add shine, condition, and soften hair, and PBAE to create revivable, long-lasting volume and body with manageability. This powerful formula provides heat protection, UV protection, and static control. Results are instantaneous and improve hair over time. Another thing I love is that all of their products are formulated without parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.
Sulfates and parabens really weigh my hair down and strip my hair color. I notice a huge difference when I use hair products that don’t contain them. Since my hair is so long and also color-treated, the fewer chemicals that are in the hair products I use, the better my hair condition is.
What I love about Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Products:
- The smell. The products smell fantastic. They have a really nice, light, clean scent to them that smells like a trip to the hair salon. The scent lingers all day and even into the next day until I wash my hair again. I’ve even had my husband compliment the scent of my hair and notice the scent of the products on my pillow at night. It’s very soft and elegant and not overpowering at all.
- The shine. Honestly, I get an incredible shine from the Living Proof products that I adore. When other people notice how glossy your hair is, you know you’ve found the right products! It seems to just really bring out the brilliance in my hair.
- The cleanliness of my hair. I feel that the shampoo and conditioner really clean and moisturize my hair without stripping it or being too harsh. My hair always feels soft and manageable after I get out of the shower. I also notice that my hair still feels clean by the end of the next day. I will never be one of those people who can only wash my hair once per week, but I can get away with washing only once every other day with this shampoo and conditioner, which helps keep my hair and color vibrant.
- The hold of my hairstyle. The 5-in-1 Styling Cream does an amazing job at holding my hairstyle for more than one day. I can easily curl or straighten my hair and wear it for 2 days, and it still looks good. It definitely extends the style of my hair.
- The strength it gives my hair. My hair is very long and since it is color-treated, it can be a lot of work to keep it long and strong. It’s important to me to have healthy hair and I have noticed how much this has improved my hair over time. Along with split-end trims every 8 weeks or so, it keeps my hair looking healthy and feeling healthy.
- It’s lightweight. The products are lightweight, so if you need volume, you won’t have hair that looks flat. I have fine hair but I have a lot of it. These products are light enough to give you volume. The 5-in-1 Styling Cream doesn’t leave my hair feeling sticky or crunchy like a lot of mousse and cream hair products do.
- It keeps your hair smooth. I brought these products to Florida with me on vacation a few weeks ago and the weather there was completely different than where I live. The weather was quite warm and humid and my Living Proof products stood up to the heat and humidity. I was left with zero frizz and nice smooth hair through it all.
My typical routine consists of using the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo first, then following it up with the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Conditioner. I always let the conditioner sit for several minutes and I always rinse it out with cold water. It sounds horrifying when it is winter and super cold outside, but it really helps to seal the cuticle of the hair and it also helps my red hair from fading.
After I get out of the shower, I apply Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5-in-1 Styling Treatment to my damp hair. I usually apply a quarter-size amount since I have a lot of hair. I either let my hair air dry or blow-dry it, depending on whether or not I have somewhere to go. For this particular style, I used my blow-dryer and then used a curling iron to create loose waves.
At the end of the day, it’s about using hair products that work for you and not the other way around. Your hair routine should be effortless, in that the products you are using are helping you achieve your ideal hairstyle. I adore the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day products and find that they work beautifully on my hair. My hair has never been stronger, longer, or healthier.
