living proof GLOSS review!!
heyy 👋 chances are if you're seeing this, you probably saw the first post that sparked this in the first place! and if not, here's a recap: i found this living proof gloss at my local ulta, and there has been no proof of its existence online until very recently!! it's not even for sale yet online, but i've learned that it's already available in stores for a good amount of people!! sooo i got it! and decided to write my review here 🤭
SO, introductions aside, let's get to it ✨
this is the Living Proof PhD High-Shine Gloss! from what i currently know (and i'll edit this as more information comes out), it's a deep conditioning treatment that's intended to leave the hair feeling shiny and smooth ✨ it's priced at $36, and as of right now is only available at ulta
directions involve shampooing, conditioning, and rinsing your hair as normal, then you remove any excess water and apply the gloss! it stays on for about 5 minutes, which afterwards you can rinse off and dry + style as normal!
i found it weird having to dry my hair off a bit while IN the shower, but the application process was easy enough. i also did a face mask while the gloss did its thing, so it was easy to keep myself occupied for those 5 minutes 🥴 besides that my routine was exactly as per usual
and the results? holy shit
immediately i noticed that my hair was a lot softer than usual, which is expected for a deep conditioning treatment. it also had a LOT more volume, which came as a surprise. for shine? it definitely has a lot more shine than usual! my hair was already in pretty decent condition before the gloss, and i think it even had a little bit of shine beforehand, but the gloss just made everything SMOOTH✨ i wish i was a better photographer, but i hope the photos i took give a good general idea!
i currently don't know how long this lasts, but if i were to guess, it'll be a few weeks before i should reapply again like most glosses
my mom and sister have bleached and colored hair, so i'm probably gonna ask them to try the gloss as well and see if it works out better for them, but i'm gonna guess that's a yes, but i'll keep y'all posted!
overall, i'll give it an 8/10! it works well and left my hair looking extra shiny and feeling GREAT, but idk if i can fully get past the price point 😭 but if you have bleached or dyed hair, i think this'll be great for you to keep your hair moisturized and vibrant :)
if you read through my ramblings, i hope both sides of your pillow are cold 🫶 have a good day y'all and if you have any questions on it lemme know!!

Okay, so after getting such amazing results from the Living Proof PhD High-Shine Gloss, I’ve been thinking a lot about why a treatment like this is such a game-changer for getting genuinely glossy finish hair and that coveted hair shine. For me, the instant softness and extra volume were big surprises, but the smoothness and incredible shine are what really stand out. It’s not just a surface-level shine; my hair feels healthier from within. One thing I'm super curious about, and I know many of you are too, is how this Living Proof high shine gloss performs on bleached or color-treated hair. My hair is pretty natural, but my mom and sister have dyed hair, and I'm convinced this shine treatment could be a lifesaver for them. Color processing can leave hair a bit dull and brittle, so a product designed to deliver instant shine and smoothness while deep conditioning sounds like exactly what's needed to restore vibrancy and health. It’s not just about making hair look good; it's about protecting it and extending the life of your color, which makes the $36 price point feel a lot more justifiable if it means fewer trips to the salon for touch-ups or intensive masks. Speaking of value, I've seen some people ask, vale a pena? Is it really worth it? For me, the convenience of an in-shower treatment that only takes 5 minutes and delivers such noticeable results is a huge plus. Compared to some clear hair gloss treatment at home options that can be messy or more time-consuming, this one fits perfectly into a busy schedule. The fact that it's a deep conditioning treatment as well means you're getting multiple benefits in one easy step. My hair definitely looked smooth and shiny after just one use, truly living up to its promise. I think the longevity of the results is also key when considering if a hair gloss treatment is worth the investment. While I'm still observing how long the effects last for me, generally, glosses can keep your hair looking great for a few weeks, depending on how often you wash and what other products you use. Reapplying every 2-4 weeks seems to be the sweet spot for maintaining that fresh, salon-like gloss shine. It's definitely a product I'm excited to keep in my routine, especially if it continues to deliver these kinds of smooth and shiny results. If you're on the fence about trying a shine for hair product that genuinely works, I'd say this one is a strong contender, particularly if dullness or lack of smoothness is a concern!
