Living Proof Restore Shampoo
What it is: A gentle cleansing shampoo that replenishes moisture and improves manageability. What it does: Restore Shampoo is formulated with Living Proof's moisture-controlling molecule, PolyfluoroEster, to restore the protective layer on dry or damaged hair and reduce hair's porosity by 100%. Restore makes dry or damaged hair look, feel, and behave like virgin hair. It also increases hair's resistance to breakage up to nine times while healing, protecting, and preventing further damage. What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Sulfates- Synthetic Dyes- Petrochemicals- Phthalates- GMOs- TriclosanWhat else you need to know: Virgin hair has a protective layer that is completely intact, which is why it is in such great condition. But frequent washing, heat styling and processing damages this protective layer. Hair becomes very porous and unable to seal in moisture. Living Proof scientists discovered a way to restore that protective layer and reduce hair's porosity. And because Restore can do this without weighing hair down, it helps stop the cycle of dryness and damage.Research results:- After 5 uses of Restore Shampoo and Conditioner, hair's porosity is reduced 100%.- After 5 uses of Restore Shampoo and Mask Treatment, hair is 9 times more resistant to breakage.

I have hair passed my shoulders and I use about a dime to quarter size of the shampoo and conditioner and that is totally enough.

I have fine hair too. I only have to use about a pea size amount of the shampoo and maybe little bit more of the conditioner. I have had wonderful results using this shampoo & conditioner. I will add that I have soft water so, I probably have to use less than someone w/ hard water. Hope this helps!!

My hair is also fine and I've tended to overdo it on conditioner as well. I've been using these products for years and started out using little amounts (quarter sized) in fear of overdoing it.
Through experience, though, I haven't noticed that using more has had any bad effects. I use a quarter size for the shampoo and 1-2 quarters worth of the conditioner. I'd say start with less than a quarter if you are worried and see how it goes - you can experiment with it and see what works for you.

Hi! My hair is very fine and long (past my mid-back). I use only a nickel size amount of the conditioner and the shampoo. I work it through. Before rinsing completely, I do a quick dip of my head under the water, pile my hair on top of my head, and squeeze the conditioner-loaded water over my head and work through. This ensures every strand is coated with the conditioner really well. It seems to help condition my long hair while using this product sparingly. I LOVE this Restore line of products!

I have extreme dry fine hair and i use just under a quarter sized amount from my ears down and it's enough! I also use the restore mask 1-2x a week instead of conditioner and it works perfectly!

Yes, a quarter size amount will be perfect! I have fine hair that goes down the middle of my back.
I apply this to the ends of my hair first, starting at the nape of the neck. Then, I squeeze the excess amount out of my hair into my hand and apply this to the top half of my hair. Then I keep combing the conditioner through until all of my hair is coated. The key is not putting a ton of this on your hair, but to let it sit for a long time. (I wash my hair first, condition, and let the conditioner sit for the entire shower) works wonderfully!

Yes, a quarter size portion should work for your fine hair. I wet my hair thoroughly and then put the conditioner in - it helps to spread it through the hair - pay particular attention to your ends if they are frayed (and get an end trim! :). Also leave the conditioner in for a few minutes.

It doesn't make my hair oily or leave a residue. I only wash my hair once or twice a week and I am able to go that long without a significant increase in oil.

No, this shampoo actually keeps hair oil free for longer! I don't have oily hair but I've recommended this shampoo to a friend who later told me that she doesn't have to wash her hair everyday because of this shampoo! I hope you try it and it has the same effect! Good luck!

It smells like juniper or a fresh linen scent. It's quite a potent smell.

Very herbal! It's not unpleasant but it is strong. It smells to me like a meadow but it doesn't leave an after smell so you pretty much only smell it when your actively washing.

This shampoo has a clean, very light citrus smell. It's not very "perfumey" which is great! It smells like naturally clean hair.

Question about Porosity and Color
This shampoo (and the entire Restore collection) claim to reduce hair's porosity by coating it with a special ingredient. Ok, cool. But what does this mean for long term users who color their hair? Has anyone who has color treatments noticed any difference in their hair "taking" color?

Grey hair runs in my family and I have had to have my hair colored since my mid twenties. I've used Living Proof products for several years now and have not noticed any difference in my hair's ability to take or maintain color.

My hair takes color better now. I color at home, and I've gotten a couple of patches in my time. I used to need a protein filler periodically to avoid that, and now I do not. Then the LP people say "coat" I don't think they mean like a silicone or an oil. I really feel like this repairs my hair so well that the results stick around even when I don't use the product for awhile. My color does not fade as much, and like I said, my coloring experience has actually improved since using this line!
