FAQ

Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo is the ultimate dry shampoo experience. It not only keeps hair clean between washes, it delivers results comparable to a rinse-out shampoo. It works by using fast-absorbing powders to soak up oil, sweat, and odor; then our advanced powder removal system easily eliminates activated powders for a fresh start. Finishing and conditioning agents refresh your scalp and balance sebum levels — leaving hair soft, shiny, and more manageable.

From powders to aerosols, there are countless dry shampoos out there — but they don’t actually clean hair. In fact, most powder-based formulas absorb oil (not sweat) and they leave behind residue that you can see and feel. Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo is designed to mimic the cleansing power of an actual shampoo, while providing the look and feel of just-washed hair.

Yes! Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo contains conditioning agents that leave hair soft, shiny, and manageable. So it doesn’t just clean your hair — it cares for it, too!

Make sure to shake the can extremely well before use to achieve maximum cleaning results. Hold the canister about 6-10" away from dry, dirty hair. Section and apply product in a sweeping motion. Wait 30 seconds. Remove powder by massaging and shaking at roots with fingers or brush hair. Apply more as needed, shake can again. Style as desired.

Similar to a rinse-out shampoo, your hair and scalp will primarily need root application for fresh, clean results. However, our Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo can be applied throughout the lengths of your hair for an overall refresh if you’d like.

By shaking the can extremely well prior to application, you are priming the formula for a uniform application. This will ensure maximum cleaning results!

Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo can be used on most hair types. For thicker, coarser hair, section more thoroughly upon application. For curly hair, remove powders with a blow dryer on low and directed at the roots where the product was applied (vs. fingers or brush, which will deconstruct the curl).

Yes! You can use Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo on top of the products you used to style damp hair (i.e. you blew out your hair with a styling cream and later in the day or the next day, you follow with dry shampoo). You can also use dry shampoo before using products on dry hair to re-touch (i.e. dry shampoo followed by hairspray or finishing serum). Other Living Proof products that pair well with our Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo include PhD Nightcap, No Frizz Instant Defrizzer, No Frizz Vanishing Oil, Curl Moisturizing Shine Oil, and PhD Heat Styling Spray. Apply them on day-two hair from mid-lengths to ends for extra conditioning. If your scalp is feeling dry, you can use our Scalp Care Dry Scalp Treatment as a complement to our Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo. (Pssst...it’s a wet application product, so be sure to use it on wash day.) For your first shampoo after using Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo, we love to use the PhD Triple Detox Shampoo for an extra deep clean.

Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo is compatible with all Living Proof care and styling products. The powders may cling more to resin-based products, but they should still be easily removed. If you still see powders after using fingers and/or brush, use a blow dryer for more thorough removal.

The amount of Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo depends on your hair type and the amount of oil, sweat and odor in the hair. It’s best to do one thorough sweep, wait 30 seconds, shake out activated powders, then apply more as needed.

White residue from the cleansing powders is normal and expected — especially if you have dark hair. To remove the powder, massage hair with fingers and/or a brush. A boar’s bristle brush will be the most efficient in removing residue. If powder remains, use a blow dryer to remove the excess.

Apply Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo as directed, but instead of massaging with fingers or brushing through the hair, we recommend using a blow dryer on low (focusing on the roots) to remove activated powders. The force of the air will eliminate residue, while keeping curls intact.

No, Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo won’t remove other products from your hair. We know you worked hard for your style and you don’t want to start from scratch. Instead, this dry shampoo eliminates only the bad stuff — like oil, sweat and odor.

We recommend allowing sweat to dry a bit before applying Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo.

Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo balances sebum levels without leaving a textured, dry feel. If your scalp is particularly dry, feel free to use our Scalp Care Dry Scalp Treatment as a complement to our Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo.

It’s a matter of personal preference, but we recommend using Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo whenever your hair could use a light cleaning between washes.

You can certainly use Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo on hair that is not yet dirty, but since the product won’t have much cleaning to do, you likely won’t see much of a transformation.

There’s no one-size-fits-all recommendation for how often you should wash your hair with a rinse-out shampoo. Everyone’s hair and scalp are different, and so are their personal preferences. On average, washing hair with a rinse-out shampoo every 2 or 3 days is generally fine, and most people do not need to wash their hair everyday (although some may still prefer to do so). For optimal scalp and hair health, it’s best to wash your hair at the least every other day, but would be best if you can go a little longer (and our Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo can help you get there!).

Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo features a new, milder scent compared to PhD Dry Shampoo.

No, and not all dry shampoos are created alike. In fact, by using our Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo, you’ll be able to go longer between rinse-out shampoo washes and reduce the amount of harmful heat styling. Frequent washing and styling increases the amount of damage and puts sebum production into overdrive as your scalp attempts to rebalance its levels. Using our Perfect hair Day™ Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo in between washes means that you can wash and style less frequently, lowering the exposure to these damaging events and ultimately improving hair health over time.
