Living Proof

I have a long braid that reaches to below hip length and I use this on the lower third to keep it together so I don't need an elastic. (My braid gets skinny toward the end.) It works well for braiding, keeping braids secure without looking gluey or shellacked. I'd call it light to medium hold. I never noticed a heavy fragrance, but I don't use that much of it. I feel this and the Living Proof line helps keep my hair healthy so it can keep on growing to who knows how long!

I really like this product. Not only do I dye my hair, but my medications make my hair break easily as well. Despite all of this, I am doing my best to retain length as I love my long hair! This product is pretty close to HG status for me. The first time I used this, I applied too much and ended up with greasy next day hair. I have found the best way to apply this is to use a dime size amount to my clean hair after towel drying it. It instantly makes my hair feel fuller, silkier and shinier. After using this product for a week, I have noticed a lot less hair falling out when I style. Best of all, this product doesn't weigh down my hair, which is pretty unheard of for me. I like the smell, as well. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a leave-in but whose hair is easily weighed down.

What is the difference between this product and Batiste dry shampoo? Well, besides the Living Proof costing way more? NOTHING!!!

Yep. Count me among the many haters. I got this in a trial kit at Sephora after seeing people swooning over it on the Shopping Chanel. Thankfully, I didn't order but got this to try it out and I'm glad I did. I am NOT impressed with ANYTHING that was in it - the shampoo, conditioner, this and some other stying goo. Just another bs marketing pitch that while impressive, fails on all fronts. This product is far from special and "groundbreaking" as that doofus on the Shopping Chanel fawned. It's just another over priced, over hyped nothing.

The Shopping Chanel should be more careful in their unbridled enthusiasm for products. Most don't even come close to fulfilling their claims.

I was looking to replace WEN which I have used for over 7 years,but my hair became,dry,brittle,breaking(after reading tons of reviews about hair loss,stopped use immediately).I unfortunately bought a whole bunch of LP products in May.I started developing a rash along my neck at hairline,bumps across my forehead,itchy scalp,back-,between a bad sunburn & itch.It didn't happen immediately so I didnt tie it to LP.It is the only thing that I have used differently.I really dont care for the smell at all,I agree with others that it has a chemical smell especially during exercise it activates a worse smell that made me very self conscious.I can say it improved the dryness of hair to a degree. My hair got its bounce back.I stopped using about 10 days ago,using Free & Clear shampoo & conditioner recommended by a allergy Dr.I went to a dermatologist & he referred me to the allergy Dr,neither were helpful,I have gotten better info from sites like this one(so save your money & time)I have never had any kind of allergic reaction to any products in the past.Even though it doesnt have the top " bad ingredients " well just read the ingredients, really kinda of scary,kinda got caught up in reading that it was a group of chemists trying to make a product with safer ingredients...WHAT was I thinking,guess looking for product to believe in. I think eventually it will be discovered that its all bad stuff in LP also...my opinion anyway.

I didn't want to love this because of the price, but ...I love it. I recently bleached my hair and it's very dry, coarse and damaged (my natural hair is normally dry and coarse anyway), and my old standby and go to frizz fighter/shine enhancer Paul Mitchell Skinny Serum just wasn't making a difference anymore (used it and loved it for over a decade). Bleaching took all the shine out of my hair that the Skinny Serum couldn't even bring back, but this Nourishing Oil did, much to my surprise. Because it doesn't contain silicones, it's much more of a liquidy consistency (not used to that after using silicone shine serums since forever), and it does have an odd smell. They describe it as having a "light citrus fragrance" and i can smell that slightly but it smells kinda earthy to me, and fresh; i like the smell. Also, they're completely correct when they say it's best used on dry hair, because initially i used it on damp hair and didn't notice much of a difference, but since then have been using it on dry hair and it's amazing. It also doesn't feel heavy in the slightest (which silicone frizz serums could sometimes), and it's helped make my hair smoother and less frizzy. I live in the deep South so i need all the help i can get there. Love it!
