Philip Kingsley Haircare: Rescue and revitalise your tresses
The holiday season can wreak havoc on your mane. Between the cold weather, central heating, and the frequent use of styling tools, your hair can become dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Enter Philip Kingsley haircare, the ultimate saviour for stressed-out strands.
Their hero product, the Elasticizer, is a pre-shampoo treatment specifically designed to improve hair elasticity and combat breakage. This intensive formula is packed with nourishing ingredients that deeply condition your hair, leaving it feeling stronger and more manageable.
Pair it with the Bond Builder for an extra boost. This intensive treatment helps rebuild and strengthen weakened hair bonds, making it more resistant to future damage caused by styling and environmental aggressors.
For those suffering from a sensitive scalp due to overzealous heat drying or hot showers (we’ve all been there!), Philip Kingsley’s Clearer, Calmer Scalp Collection – comprised of products such as the Overnight Scalp Serum Barrier and Flaky/Itchy Scalp Anti-Dandruff Shampoo – offers a soothing solution. This gentle yet effective range helps reduce irritation and itching, leaving your scalp feeling comfortable and healthy.
The Duck & Dry experience: Blowout bliss for busy bees
Sometimes, the best way to vamp up your party look is with a professional blow-dry.
