Living Proof®️ Full Stylers Sample Review

I first used Living Proof®️around 20 years ago, my first product purchased was the Thickening Cream (I think it must be rebranded now). I can remember quite clearly exactly where the display was, as back then it was relatively unknown in the newly launched Space NK in London’s Bishopsgate! Having done a quick Google I wasn’t far off as it was launched in 2005! It was one of my favourite products and today, I recommend this brand to all my readers.

Launching for September 2023 is a brand new range that will cover the spectrum in providing solutions for fine, thin, lank hair. Hair that requires thickness, volume and texture. I can tell you that I have tested the Full Thickening Blow Dry Cream and it most certainly doesn’t disappoint.

The products are for those whose hair is looking lack-lustre be it through ill-health, lack of vitamins, hormones (pregnancy and menopause), age etc, or those wanting to add glamour and volume from a night out to every day styling. 

So what makes these so different from other stylers on the market? Well Living Proof®️ have formulated new products that are ‘one-step, silicone-free stylers’ that have ‘scientifically proven fullness with all-day staying power’. Not only do they give full day (and night as you can see from my test below), staying power but you can layer the products to achieve the biggest volume yet. 

The products also provide heat protection up to 230˚C so protect your hair when styling with heated appliances.

Full Volume & Root Lifting Spray 163ml £27

The Lifting Spray is ideal for bouncy blow drys, and leaves hair looking twice as full. Its lightweight and non-sticky formula is ideal for all hair lengths, especially medium to long. It contains Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract, which contains protein and thus aids fine, thinning hair, making it stronger and more resilient to breakage. It also contains Polyporus Umbellatus (Mushroom) Extract, an ingredient that is anti-aging and encourages hair growth. 

Full Texturising Foam 148ml  £27

This lightweight foam can be used on wet or dry hair. It’s ideal for not only creating thicker hair but, as the name suggests gives texture and definition. It’s great for creating beachy, lived in locks and ideal if you need to have a quick revive of locks and time is short. It can be applied before blow-drying or scrunched into damp hair and left to dry naturally, or scrunched into dry hair. It has so many uses, and has become a staple in my bathroom. I like to use it when I don’t have time to wash my hair and need to give it some oomph and shine. Again it has heat protection so ideal for use with appliances. Contains Hydrolyzed Corn Starch that prevents frizziness, and protects the hair from environmental pollution and damage.

Full Thickening Blow-Dry Cream 109ml £27

This is ideal for giving hair voluminous locks and ideal for use when blow drying. For the sake of photos I used this 2 days ago on one side of my hair (I think you can tell from the photo which side)! 

Having slept on my hair, not washed it for 2 days and the thickness still remains, so I was suitably impressed with the results, especially and as you can see from the tired face photo, I have been unwell with a water infection! 

I only used a small amount on my damp, left side of my head before blow-drying my hair upside down. So not only has it exceeded the promise of ‘8 hours longevity’ but it has kept the volume and style. Again it contains similar ingredients to the above. 

All the products are PETA cruelty-free, safe for chemically treated, colour treated hair and are free from silicones and other chemical nasties. You can purchase the products by clicking the link HERE
