Between long travel days and hotels with less-than-ideal water pressure, ending up with greasy hair while you’re on a trip can happen far easier than any of us would like to admit. That’s where dry shampoo comes in. If you’re in a pinch in an airport bathroom after disembarking a transatlantic flight or changing quickly to go from a day of sightseeing to a night out, a rinse-free dry shampoo spray can pull your whole look together in a pinch. I recently discovered one from Living Proof after receiving a travel size in a Dermstore Beautyfix box, and it’s become my go-to product when my hair needs a refresh.
The Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo is designed to quickly absorb oil and sweat, neutralize odors, and add softness and shine to your hair. The “advanced clean” version is an even heavier duty take on the already beloved Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo. It comes in an aerosol spray can in two sizes: 5.5 ounces and a travel-friendly 2.4-ounce option. At $16 for the travel size, it’s definitely on the pricey side, although for a true clean hair feeling in just seconds, it’s more than worth it for me. Plus, just a little product goes a long way.

A Sephora shopper also raved about how helpful the product is making a blowout last longer. They styled their hair the day before a trip, took a flight, and the next day their hair still looked fresh. “With a few puffs of this stuff, it genuinely looked as if I had just blown [my hair] out,” they wrote.
If you’re looking for a way to refresh your look throughout the day, either at work or while traveling, check out the Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo from Living Proof. If you’re anything like me, it’ll be a staple in your cosmetic bag in no time.
