Living Proof Restore VoxBox Review
I'm fairly clueless when it comes to hair products. I use whatever is available, and for most of my adult life, it's been whatever is the cheapest/has the coolest packaging. Over the years, this haphazard haircare routine coupled with constant heat damage and hair dye has resulted in my current hair condition. At one point I had long, healthy hair, though you wouldn't be able to tell that nowadays.
Because of this, I was very excited to receive Influenster's complimentary Living Proof Restore Vox Box this past month. The box contained: shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, and a perfecting spray.
Product details: Living Proof Inc's "Restore" line available at Sephora, Ulta, Target, and Nordstrom.
There are various sizes of each product available ranging from travel size to 24 oz.
List price: $28-42
Claims: The company's "Restore" line claims to be appropriate for all hair types, working to restore moisture and hydration to damaged locks.
The shampoo and conditioner have a very light scent, similar to the other products in the line. It was a fairly pleasant, mostly floral scent and there was no over-the-top, intoxicating smell left lingering in the shower/bathroom/my hair afterwards so that was a win. The shampoo was light-weight and easy to wash out, but my hair definitely felt cleaner at the end. My general complaint with most shampoos is the dry feeling I'm left with once my hair dries. So I really appreciated the fact that my hair didn't feel like all the moisture had been immediately sucked out.
I have the hardest time washing conditioners out of my hair and I usually end up having sticky residue left over afterwards. This conditioner, however, did not do that. Like the shampoo, it was light-weight and easy to wash out.
After towel-drying my hair, I applied some of the hair-perfecting spray before brushing. Again, every hair product I've used claims to be "de-tangling" so that statement doesn't mean much to me. However, I'm not sure if it was the shampoo, the conditioner, the perfecting spray, or a combination of all three, but it was so incredibly easy to brush my hair.
Though I love my face masks, I have to admit that I have never used any type of mask for my hair. I really enjoyed the other products that I was sent so I decided to give this a try, as well. Though my hair felt pretty hydrated after, I'm not sure there was enough of a difference in the state of my hair to justify the hefty price tag or the extra time I had to spend putting this on and waiting in the shower (yes, I'm lazy, errr too "busy")
Repurchase: As I've stated numerous times, I loved how my hair felt after I used the products. But, I don't think there was any drastic change in the overall health of my hair long-term. Given that and the high price tag, I'll probably continue my search for affordable and effective hair products. The perfecting spray, however, was an absolute game-changer and I really liked how my hair felt and looked after I regularly used it. If you're in the market for a hydrating spray with great de-tangling qualities, I highly recommend this product!

Use: I used the shampoo and conditioner/mask, followed by the Perfecting Spray, after my normal shower routine.
Thoughts: Most hair care products claim to be hydrating and restorative and this one is no different, so I was very skeptical of how this would measure up. Happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised. The entire "Restore" line that I was sent to sample did, in fact, help make my hair manageable and frizz-free.
