I used to use living proof prime style extender. Is this product still available if not what is comparable in the living proof line?
- Asked by Hair

- Q
When layering 5 in 1 perfecting cream with the no frizz cream styler for curly hair, which do you apply to the hair first?
- Asked by Qtip
- Official Answer By Living Proof - BEThank you for your inquiry. Because the 5 in 1 provides light conditioning, you may want to use the No Frizz Smoothing Styler in place of the cream as a base prior to styling. If you enjoy the cream I would layer the cream over the 5 in 1. Being that the cream has conditioning as well and is designed to smooth and defrizz the hair, you may find the spray as a better option.Was this answer helpful to you

Is this product a replacement for the t.b.d. multitasking that came in a black tube?
- Asked by LilRedC3

PHD 5-1 works best with heat to gain the volumizing benefits it offers. TBD can be used as a deconstructing product if you want to enhance texture and layers to your style.

- Q
Will 5 in 1 style cream cause white hair to yellow
- Asked by Di
- Official Answer By Living Proof - BEthank you for your inquiry. There are no ingredients in this product that would cause your white hair to yellow. If you are experiencing a dullness to your hair, may I suggest Triple Detox Shampoo as a 1 to 2 times a week shampoo. This shampoo is charcoal activated, but will eliminate product build up , polution particles and the metal ions from hard water. All of these challenges can dull white hair. This shampoo will not dry out the hair nor fade color. Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
What type of hair texture is best for this product? is it "too oily/greasy"? How much is best applied for different hair types?
- Asked by King
- Official Answer By Living Proof - BEThank you for your inquiry. The beauty of Living Proof products is that we don't use heavy oils and never silicone/dimethicone. These ingredients sit on the outer layer of the hair and are a slick, greasy consistency. PHD 5-in-1 is for all hair types and specifically for anyone who would like more volume, along with conditioning, polishing of the cuticle, strengthening of the hair and if thats not enough, both heat and sun protection. Best applied on damp hair and start with a dime/quarter size depending on hair length and add more if needed. Apply heat.Was this answer helpful to you

I'm totally confused about whether to select Perfect hair Day 5-in-1 Styling Treatment or No Frizz Styling Cream. I got a sample of 5-in-1 and like it. Frizz is my main peeve, and I use the No Frizz Conditioner. I always blow dry.
- Asked by Amy
- Official Answer By Living Proof - BEThank you for your inquiry. If frizz is your number one concern, the No Frizz Nourishing Cream is designed to specifically address your concern. The best application is to comb and detangle damp/ towel dried hair and apply the NF Nourishing Cream from root to ends. Think of it as a weightless raincoat for your hair!

Love it!
I had a sample tube of this and have now bought a full size bottle. It makes my fine, frizzy hair soft and shiny. I even got a compliment the other day on how beautiful and shiny my hair was - that hasn't happened in a long time! It also cuts blow drying time, which I love. The only pseudo-negative ...

On the fence
Not sure yet, but I am pretty sure I spent almost $30 for a product that is at best ...okay. It does fill in my scraggly ends a bit, but so did my Pureology split end mender, I'll have to give the product more of a chance. It doesn't weigh my hair down, smells nice, but my hair is just as smooth,...

I love the product but expensive
I would buy this again and again… and have!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I love this product! If you have fine, thin hair, and are looking for something to give you body and hold, this is your product. It does not leave your hair looking weighted down or frizzy. For my hair, I feel that this gives me better results than the LP thickening cream. But that's a great option as well.
This is my favorite styling product!
Hair Type Straight Hair
Gives my thin, straight hair volume, softness and control. I love it!
Excellent air dry cream
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I have wavy hair that can frizz. I use this as an air dry cream. I apply it to fairly wet, lightly towel dried hair. It makes my waves look styled like beach waves, but better. It adds a lot of volume to each hair, which I need. The style stays until shampooed out every four days. It doesn't make my hair greasy or dirty. It's been my favorite styling product for at least seven years.
My favorite hair product
Hair Type Straight Hair
It gives my hair some thickness, and when I blow dry my hair with round brushes it helps my hair hold the styling. As and added benefit, my second day hair looks fabulous! No need to wash my hair on day 2.
