Learn the clean, step-by-step way to refill your shampoo and conditioner bottles using Livingproof refill pouches—no drips, no waste, no mess.
Quick Answer
To refill your shampoo and conditioner without the mess, use a clean funnel, pour slowly from the Livingproof refill pouch, and wipe the bottle rim before sealing.
Why Refill Pouches Are Worth the Switch
Refill pouches like the Perfect hair Day™ Wash Duo Refill cut down on plastic waste and often cost less per ounce than buying new bottles. The 33.8 oz pouches are designed to fit your existing Livingproof bottles, so you keep the pump and bottle you already own.
The trade-off is that transferring liquid from a pouch can get messy if you rush. A few simple habits—like prepping your bottle and using a funnel—make the process clean and quick.
Step-by-Step Refill Process
- Gather Your Supplies: You'll need your empty Livingproof bottle (pump removed), a clean funnel that fits the bottle opening, and the refill pouch. Make sure the bottle is completely empty and dry inside—any leftover water can dilute the product. Check that the funnel is clean and dry before you start.
- Cut the Pouch Corner: Use scissors to snip a small corner off the refill pouch. Cut just enough to create a steady stream—too large a cut will cause splashing and waste. Start with a small cut; you can always make it bigger if needed.
- Position the Pouch Over the Funnel: Hold the pouch directly over the funnel, with the cut corner pointing into the funnel. Keep the pouch upright and steady—don't squeeze or tilt it too far, or the liquid will surge and spill. If the pouch feels slippery, wrap a towel around it for a better grip.
- Pour Slowly and Steadily: Let the product flow naturally, tilting the pouch gradually. Pour in a slow, controlled stream to avoid air bubbles and overflow. Stop when the bottle is about 90% full—leaving headroom makes it easier to replace the pump without spilling. Pause and let the liquid settle before topping off; you can always add more.
- Wipe the Rim and Seal the Bottle: After pouring, wipe the bottle rim and threads with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Then screw the pump back on tightly. This prevents sticky buildup and keeps the pump mechanism working smoothly. A clean rim also prevents bacteria from growing in the product.
- Store the Pouch for Next Time: If you have leftover product in the pouch, fold the cut corner over and secure it with a clip or rubber band. Store the pouch upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use it within a few months for best freshness. Label the pouch with the date you opened it so you know when to use it by.
