Living Proof Gives Its Cult-Favorite Dry Shampoo the Scent of the Season: Frosted Fig

The limited-edition launch brings one of beauty's breakout scent notes to Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo, giving consumers a new reason to refresh between washes this holiday

BOSTON, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Living Proof, the science-backed haircare brand, introduces Perfect hair Day™ Frosted Fig Limited-Edition Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo, a seasonal take on its award-winning formula that pairs the clean and care of a rinse-out shampoo with lush, creamy fig for the holiday season.

For most women, wash day isn't every day: In the U.S., nearly 7 in 10 women wash their hair only a few times per week,¹ yet only 2 in 10 women reach for dry shampoo.² Living Proof has spent more than a decade finding new ways to make those days better, and give consumers more time back to their lives. Today, one Living Proof dry shampoo is sold every 10 seconds globally,³ and the brand continues to push beyond what consumers already know and love from the category.

Earlier this year, the brand tackled some of dry shampoo's most persistent frustrations with Sheer Clean Dry Shampoo Mist, Living Proof's first non-aerosol dry shampoo, designed to actually clean hair with a 100% invisible finish. In its first three weeks, Sheer Clean became the #1 Living Proof product at Sephora, Livingproof.com, and TikTok Shop.⁴

With frosted Fig, Living Proof is creating a different reason to discover dry shampoo. Limited-edition scents have become a way to invite new consumers into the category while giving longtime fans something new to love. Seasonal scents including Velvet Amber and Sun-kissed Pear have helped recruit new customers to Living Proof, with 55% of purchasers new to the brand.⁵ Frosted Fig continues that approach at holiday, a natural moment for discovery and gifting.

The scent itself is no afterthought. Fragrance ranks among the top five drivers of dry shampoo choice,⁶ while fig is having a breakout moment of its own across beauty, growing +162.50%. In haircare specifically, searches for fig fragrances have grown more than 600% over the past three years.⁷

Living Proof's take pairs creamy fig with subtly sweet coconut and soft lily petals, grounded in warm woods and amber for an inviting alternative to the expected holiday gourmand. Underneath the scent is Living Proof's breakthrough Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo formula consumers know and love, cleaning and caring like a rinse-out shampoo to remove oil, sweat and odor while leaving hair soft, naturally shiny and manageable – without the wash.

"We know consumers want more from the days they don't wash their hair – more performance, more ease and increasingly, more enjoyment," said Lauren Fenton, CMO of Living Proof. "Sometimes that means completely rethinking what dry shampoo can do. Other times, it's giving someone a new reason to discover a product people already love. Frosted Fig brings a little something special to the season, without compromising the performance they expect from us."

Perfect hair Day™ Frosted Fig Limited-Edition Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo is available now at LivingProof.com for $33 (5.5oz).
