Learn how to revive second-day hair with Livingproof Style Refresh Mist. This guide covers the step-by-step process to refresh curls and restore day-1 look without washing.
Quick answer
Use Livingproof Perfect Hair Day™ Style Refresh Mist to revive second-day hair without washing. Mist evenly onto dry hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends, then scrunch or brush to restore shape and volume.
Why use a refresh mist instead of washing
Washing hair daily can strip natural oils and lead to dryness, especially for curly or color-treated textures. A refresh mist like Livingproof Style Refresh Mist lets you extend your style by neutralizing odors, adding light moisture, and providing thermal protection if you use heat tools later.
When to skip the mist
If your hair is heavily product-laden or has visible oil at the roots, a refresh mist alone won't fix it. In those cases, a dry shampoo or a full wash is a better starting point. The mist works best on hair that is mostly clean but just needs a pick-me-up.
Step-by-step to refresh second-day hair
- Shake the bottle well: Hold the mist upright and shake it for a few seconds to activate the formula. This ensures even distribution. Skipping this step can lead to uneven spray and clumps.
- Mist from 6-8 inches away: Hold the nozzle at arm's length and spray a light, even layer over your hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Avoid saturating the roots. Too close and the mist becomes wet; too far and it won't deposit enough product.
- Scrunch or brush to reshape: For curly hair, gently scrunch upward to redefine curls. For straight or wavy hair, use a wide-tooth comb or brush to smooth and redistribute the product. Scrunching too aggressively can cause frizz; be gentle.
- Air dry or diffuse: Let your hair air dry for a natural finish, or use a diffuser on low heat to speed things up and add volume. The mist's thermal protection shields hair from heat damage. High heat settings can undo the refresh and cause dryness.
