Beloved readers, the No Frizz line by Living Proof is constantly blowing my little, golden mind. It is absolutely fantastic for one simple reason: when I use it, I have flawless hair all day, every day, no matter what.
Every time I am lured away from it, I run right back to it. I have to stray for a few things like oils for added shine and reconstructing treatments; but, I have a strong feeling that this is going to be my staple brand for shampoo, conditioner, and basic styling products.
I tried this product, before I realized this line had a “stronger” version of it better attuned to my natural 4a/3c hair type. That said, my natural hair (for the most part it was only 97% flawless using this) and my texlaxed 3b/3c hair both love this. My texlaxed hair is 100% flawless with both.
I adore both products and if I transition (again) in the future, I will gladly return to this product or its stronger sibling (the styling “treatment” of this line, for coarse hair).
I’ll quote my comments from that review for my complaints, bottle design, product performance, and product appearance because, quite frankly, I have the same things to say:
“The product itself is opaque white with a creamy, milky, slippery texture. It is easy –luxuriously and deceptively easy– to over use for this reason. It also GLIDES like a prima ballerina over your strands –sans tangles– because of this as well.
It has a fresh, non-sweet, non-super-floral, non-super-herbal texture. It simply smells, fresh and clean and is wonderfully unobtrusive. This is a major plus, for many. I love a strong fragrance in a product; but, having discovered my signature fragrance last December, I am slow to use hair products that compete with it. This does not. That typed and read, this works so well I would consider using it, regardless.
You are probably wondering, “What does this do so well besides feel awesome to the touch, smell nice, and come in a swanky bottle?”
The following:
PERFECTLY defined curls with no clumps, no greasiness, and wet-hair shine, without the that “wet-hair look”.
Fluffy, SILKY (not something my hair chooses to be naturally, even when in good health, it prefers to be fleecy), fleecy, curls were mine with ONE PRODUCT.
TOUCHABLE, sensually smooth, moving curls were mine to carry about all day.
Hair that dried quickly sans frizz (not surprising, giving the name of the product line, ha!), with or without heat (I almost always air-dry, even in mid-western winters –I suffer much, for my curls, when I wear them).
All of this EVERYDAY WITHOUT FAIL.
For the first time I NEVER had to fear a bad hair day. I had MONTHS of flawless hair.
How glorious!
Now, unsurprisingly this kind of “awesome” doesn’t come without a price.
Living Proof is no exception, most of the full-size products run around $26 dollars at your local Ulta or Sephora. The travel/trial size around $10-$15 dollars. This is also not a product that you can skimp with while using it. You will need to use the exact amount that is right for you (I know. I tried.). Thankfully, I found a little went a long way. (I just couldn’t “stretch” the product to last longer, to turn a phrase.).
For perfect hair every day, all day as a curly-girl, I realized using only three products that were slightly pricier than the droves I used before that didn’t deliver the same results proved to be more economical, for me over the course of time.
Make the best choice for your hair and your wallet, beloved readers.”
One final note: This will not give you a texture you do not have. It will only perfect what you have. If you have no discernible curl pattern, this will cut frizz dramatically, but may not do so in the jaw-dropping way it did for me. Keep your receipt!
