Arguably one of the most famous hair products currently on the market, Philip Kingsley Elasticizer has a huge cult status and celebrity following. First created for Audrey Hepburn, the Elasticizer is renowned for its ability to repair hair damaged from wear and tear.
Originally designed as a salon treatment, the Elasticizer is to be used before shampooing hair and left on for 10-20 minutes.
Recommended for those with unruly, dry, damaged or chemically-treated hair, the Elasticizer leaves hair smoother, strengthened, and revitalised. Hair will feel soft and silky to the touch and be more manageable when styling.
Testimonial:
Aware of Philip Kingsley’s huge cult following, I was very excited to try this product especially as my hair is the 'ideal candidate' for the Elasticizer: heavily bleached, heat damaged and prone to split ends.
Although I have not used a pre-shampoo treatment before, it was very easy to apply. I simply dampened my hair and then massaged the product into the mid-lengths and ends, steering well clear of my roots which can lean on the oily side if over-moisturised.
After leaving the treatment in for 20 minutes, I followed with my usual shampoo and conditioner.
My hair was noticeably easier to comb, whereas usually I have to brush through knots and tangles for at least a few minutes. Once dry, my hair did not produce fly-aways or static when I straightened it (as it normally does) and it was noticeably more silky and glossy. My hair did not frizz or become static despite it being a miserable day which is a definite result!
All in all I will absolutely be using the Elasticizer again!
