10 Tips How to Best Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer

September 22, 2022 ·

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer is considered by many to be a holy grail hair rescue product. But for some, Elasticizer is just meh. How can some people swear by it and others be disappointed?

Proper application is key to getting the most out of Elasticizer or Elasticizer Extreme. Not sure how to use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer? Read our top ten tips for best use below.

How to Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer

How to Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer: 10 Tips for Best Use

 

Why Elasticizer is Special

A key ingredient overview helps deconstruct the elusive je ne sais quoi of Elasticizer. Let’s take a look:

Key Ingredients

 

Olive Oil nourishes hair

OLIVE OIL

Olive Oil moisturizes with Omega-3s and polyphenols. Omegas nourish the hair follicle and make the cuticle smooth and the shaft strong. Olive Oil makes hair smooth and shiny.

Kingsley found Olive Oil works best not as a direct oil application, but within a creamy formula base.  It aids in the penetration of the precious vitamins and fatty acids. A creamy formula also makes it easier to wash out without oily residue after use.

 

HYDROLYZED ELASTIN

Elastin gives hair tensile strength: the ability to stretch. Hydrolyzed Elastin adds body and elasticity to hair. It improves hair’s resistance to breakage and aids moisture retention.

Unlike protein treatments, you cannot over-do elastin. Elastin returns a youthful look to the hair. Elastin is often a missing element in hair maintenance routines, but it is important to keep hair looking vibrant, lush, bouncy and healthy.

No matter what your hair has experienced (coloring, chemicals, hot tools), it likely has lost some Elastin along the way.

Castor seed oil is a humectant

 

CASTOR OIL

Castor Oil is a humectant. It draws moisture into the hair shaft making it plumper and hydrated. It softens hair with high Vitamin E content. Castor Oil thickens thinning hair and calms the appearance of frizzy hair.

Castor Oil is typically too thick and sticky to apply directly to the hair, but in this formulation, it washes out easily.

GLYCERIN

Glycerin helps hair to retain moisture. This is particularly important for thirsty coarse and curly hair.

 

Ten Tips on How to Best Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer

 

1. Apply Elasticizer to Fully Damp Hair

Apply Elasticizer to fully damp hair prior to shampooing. Warm the elasticizer slightly in your hands. Smooth the Elasticizer into the length of the hair to help it absorb.

 

2.  Elasticizer Must Fully Absorb

Absorption is the key. It won’t accomplish nearly as much just sitting on the hair surface.

How to do it: I apply Elasticizer to a small section of hair at a time. Then place the hair section between two fingers and gently “squeegee” the product down the hair length to assist absorption.

For sections that don’t absorb after 30 minutes, I re-wet the hair with a spray bottle and repeat the squeegee process.

 

3. Avoid the Scalp

There is no harm in applying Elasticizer closer to the scalp, but it is most beneficial applied to lengths down to the ends. I focus extra on areas I heat style with my curling wand – bangs, money pieces, and ends.

Some suggest applying from the ear down to the ends.

4. Keep Elasticizer moist

As long as it stays damp, it continues to work. I like to use a processing cap or hair towel to let it stay moist. Your facial steamer can add a special oomph to Elasticizer. If Elasticizer is getting dry and hard, spritz it down.

 

5. 10-Minute Minimum Use

It takes about five minutes to absorb into the hair.  Leave Elasticizer in for a minimum of ten minutes, or even overnight in a covered cap or towel. In the Kingsley Clinics in New York and London, they leave Elasticizer in for 30 minutes.

Don’t have time for a full treatment? Try this tip:

 

“I like to treat any split or brittle hair with perhaps a teaspoonful, gently worked into my hair and then left overnight. Very economical and a quick and easy boost when I don’t have time for the full works.”

– JENNIFER DYE
PHILIP KINGSLEY HEAD TRICHOTHERAPIST

 

6.  Add heat

Heat intensifies the penetration. Wear Elasticizer while exercising, at the beach or sunbathing, or while taking a steam.

 

7. Don’t Use Elasticizer before or after Hair Coloring

The packaging says Elasticizer can remove hair color or impede coloring. Don’t use Elasticizer for 3 days before and after coloring. I ignored these directions and found out it is true. The Olive Oil can remove fresh color.

 

8. Use the Formulation for Your Hair Type

Use the proper Elasticizer formulation for your hair type.

  • PK Elasticizer Extreme is for coarse, naturally coiled, or very damaged hair.
  • Fine and Medium texture hair should use Elasticizer Intensive.

 

9.  Add-Ins

Elasticizer is an excellent creamy base for your favorite hair oil. Sometimes I add a few drops of warm Jojoba or Avocado oil

 

10. Stick With It

We find the benefits are cumulative. Courtney initially didn’t see much difference, but after second use, she was wowed by the results. Lyn’s coarse and colored hair responded well to Elasticizer Intense, but benefits far more from Philip Kingsley’s Elasticizer Extreme.

 

TIP: gently squeegee Elasticizer into the hair to aid absorption.

Strawberry Leopard Haircolor

January 14, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Strawberry Leopard is a vegan semi-permanent that leaves hair in better condition than it found it. It comes in an array of vivid hues for a bright pick me up without the damage typically associated with dying your hair dramatic shades.

Meet Strawberry Leopard.

Love vibrant shades but hate the hair damage that often comes with it? Then check out Strawberry Leopard!

Strawberry Leopard in "Grapeful"

Strawberry Leopard in “Grapeful”

What It Is

A semi-permanent, Vegan, conditioning formula with bonding technology. Vivid color without hair damage.

Why It Is Special

It is super easy to use this cruelty-free formula and it leaves hair in better condition with several nourishing ingredients.

It leaves no colorful residue on the sink or shower tile.

There is no developer to mix, yet it deposits bright color, with the brightest results seen on pre-lightened hair.

To that end, Strawberry Leopard makes an excellent lightening kit with everything you need to get a good clean base for your bright colors to look their best.

We will cover the Strawberry Leopard Light Me Up Lightening Kit in a future post.

Strawberry Leopard Light Me Up Lightening Kit comes with everything you need to pre-lighten your hair for tipping, highlighting or bleaching

How to Use It

Choose your shade or shades.  Mix any shade with the Strawberry Leopard Pastel Mixer for more subtle results. Unlike traditional dyes, it smells like a fruity treat. It reminds me of strawberry candy!

Shake the bottle well. Then apply in a tint bowl and tint brush method to your clean, dry hair in quadrants. It is best applied in one-inch sections. No developer to mix, and no nasty smell! Leave on for 20 minutes.

You can use foil to do just a section of hair.

You can mix colors together to make a custom shade, or apply several colors.

Just rinse with cool water, no shampoo or conditioner afterward. The color lasts up to 8 weeks.

easy to spread Gouache gel paint like texture

It is an easy to spread Gouache gel paint-like texture – not at all runny or drippy

Once the bottle is opened, it lasts for a year.

TIP: The Strawberry Leopard website says that a small amount of Strawberry Leopard Semi-Permanent Hair Color can be mixed with your daily conditioner to keep color vibrant between touchups.

Strawberry Leopard Shades

Strawberry Leopard comes in 17 shades and a Pastel Mixer. The Pastel Mixer lets you turn any shade into its’ pretty pastel counterpart.

Here are a few shades we got to try:

 

Loyal Blue

Strawberry Leopard Loyal Blue is a true blue shade, a crisp and highly pigmented crystal clear hue.

Loyal Blue

Strawberry Leopard Loyal Blue is a rich, creamy true blue hue.

 

The creamy gel consistency spreads easily without being runny.

“Fingerpainting” with Loyal Blue shows the color. Leave on a full 20 minutes to see this shade on your hair, less for a more subtle effect. Highly pigmented, true blue shade

Grapeful

Strawberry Leopard Grapeful is an intensely purple shade.  It looks almost black coming out of the bottle because it is so highly pigmented. It is similar to purple toning shampoo in an indigo purple intense color.

Here is how the color looks when “fingerpainted” in indoor (top) and outdoor (bottom) light:

Grapeful has a rich pigmented color. It is a creamy gel texture that spreads easily for applying as thin or thick as you desire

Bali

Strawberry Leopard Bali is a pretty strawberry pink with a hint of bright coral. The result is a soft rose gold pink. Here is a close up:

Gray Hair:  While it will leave some tint on gray hair, as always, gray is generally tricky. But this is a conditioning formula, so you have nothing to lose by experimenting! The darker shades leave more pigment on gray hair than the pastels.

Another thing that is special about Strawberry Leopard is how well it treats hair after it has been bleached. Bleached hair is often porous, dry, and damaged.

Take a look at some of the ingredients in this conditioning vegan formulation:

The Ingredients

Mango Seed Extract restores dry, damaged hair

Mango Seed Extract

Mango Seed provides a long-lasting emollient. Rich in fatty acids, it keeps hair hydrated and nourished.

Mango Seed Butter also contains Vitamins C, A, E, K, and B6.

Mango Seed Extract is high in copper, which supports healthy hair follicles.

 

Shea butter definition at StyleChicks.com Defining Beauty Glossary

Shea Butter

Shea Butter

Shea Butter is protective and nourishing.

 

Panthenol

Panthenol (B5)  is a humectant, emollient, and moisturizer.

Panthenol penetrates the hair shaft and locks in moisture. This makes hair look healthier by boosting shine and plumping the hair shaft. More volume gives even damaged or thinning hair a healthier appearance. [1]

For very porous hair, Panthenol behaves like a protein.

 

 

Rice Bran

Rice Protein

Hydrolyzed Rice Protein

Hydrolyzed Rice protein is a secret hair weapon because it contains Inositol.

Inositol repairs hair breakage and damage. It penetrates deeply into the hair and helps repair the broken hair bonds.

Hydrolyzed Rice protein also contains Antioxidants, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, and amino acids.[2]

 

 

Lavender Oil softens hair and skin

Lavender

Lavender Flower

Lavender’s anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties keep the scalp healthy. It has soothing properties to calm any scalp imbalances such as inflammation or dry skin flaking.

The linalyl acetate in lavender enhances hair cell growth.

 

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E promotes scalp health.

 

This formula has a hydrating Sunflower Oil base combined with soothing, skin rejuvenating natural ingredients

This formula has hydrating Sunflower Seed

Sunflower Seed Extract

Sunflower Seed Oil retains moisture in brittle hair, thereby reducing hair breakage.

Ideal for coarse, colored, bleached, curly, or damaged hair because it penetrates the hair shaft to lock and retain moisture.

It contains Omega 9, an essential acid needed to stop breakage and stimulate hair growth.

The main component of sunflower oil is linoleic acid. Its other components include oleic acid and palmitic acid, lecithin, carotenoids, tocopherols, and numerous vitamins.

 

 

Flax

Flaxseed

Linseed Seed Extract

Linseed, AKA flaxseed, is high in fatty acid Omega-3s.

It is considered a hair “superfood” as it creates lush hair and reduces breakage.

Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo Conditioner Set

December 23, 2020 · 2 Comments

It is a good time for hair rehab. Curly hair is naturally dry and requires extra moisture. An excellent shampoo and conditioning duo to restore moisture into dry, damaged hair is Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set. It contains only gentle, moisturizing ingredients including Passionfruit Extract, Sweet Almond Oil, Panthenol, and Black Seed Oil.

Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set

Why curly hair Needs Moisture

Curly hair requires extra moisture

Curly hair is naturally drier. It has a wider diameter which leads to more surface moisture loss. Our natural scalp oils have difficulty making their way down the spiral shape of a curl.

The shape of a curl also makes it extra brittle.

When curly hair is colored or styled straight with hot tools, it can easily damage already dry hair.

Many shampoos and even conditioners contain ingredients that dry out and damage curly hair. These include parabens, sulphates, silicones, and alcohols.

If you have curly hair, it is a great time to transition away from drying shampoos and conditioners in order to achieve lush, healthy, soft, and shiny curls.

A great haircare set for curly hair is Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set.

What Makes Maximilian Special

Maximilian ingredients are considered safe for curly hair

Both the shampoo and conditioner use natural, safe, curly friendly ingredients to infuse and lock in moisture.

Also important is what these products do NOT contain:

  • No Sulfate, Parabens, PEG, coloring, or gluten
  • No Silicone
  • No animal testing, cruelty-free

While these features are vital for curly hair, they are also beneficial to any texture hair that is dry, colored or damaged. Sulfates can be drying to even oily hair types. But this set uses three gentle cleansers considered safe for curly hair.

This volumizing formula makes hair healthier, it smooths the hair while imparting softness and shine. The ingredients work together to add moisture and then lock in that moisture.

Let’s take a closer look at these outstandingly curl-friendly ingredients.

Maximilian Supporting Ingredients

This shampoo and conditioner set uses exotic ingredients such as Passionfruit

This shampoo and conditioner set uses exotic ingredients such as Passionfruit

Passion Fruit Extract

Passion fruit Extract contains hair restoring nutrients

Passion fruit Extract contains hair restoring nutrients

Passion fruit seed oil, also known as Maracuja Oil, is a Brazilian beauty mainstay. It improves how the hair looks and feels. It also benefits the health of the scalp. Healthy scalps are vital to growing healthy hair.

Passion fruit extract contains 72% linoleic acid, one of the richest sources of this hair-friendly essential acid. [1]  This gives hair a glossy, healthy shine.

It is rich in vitamin A, potassium, antioxidants, and minerals that benefit both hair and scalp. Vitamin C, riboflavin, carotene improves moisture retention. These antioxidants counteract the oxidative stress signs of hair aging [2]

Vitamin E improves dry hair and a dry scalp. It infuses moisture and retains it. This helps alleviate dandruff and restore dry, damaged hair.  Vitamins B6 and B2 aid scalp circulation. This benefits follicles and helps build stronger hair. Passion fruit extract also has anti-inflammatory benefits.

The vitamins in Passion fruit extract are amazing at locking in moisture without leaving the hair greasy or limp.

Sweet Almond Oil restores brittle hair

Sweet Almond Oil restores brittle hair

Sweet Almond Oil

Sweet Almond Oil is hair reparative and softening.  Sweet Almond Oil is excellent for brittle hair, damaged hair, dry and over-processed hair.

Sweet almond oil contains proteins and vitamins A, B, D, and E, Omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and magnesium. Amino acids and proteins strengthen the hair strand and smooth the appearance of the hair cuticle.  It nourishes and strengthens damaged hair, making it silky and shiny again. It also reduces hair loss and makes hair more elastic.

Sweet Almond Oil protects delicate hair strands and combats brittleness. Brittleness results in breakage and is a huge barrier to meaningful hair growth.

Almond Oil is also a carrier oil, meaning it helps other oils and ingredients penetrate and absorb.

Sweet Almond Oil also gives hair a natural sheen.

Black Seed Oil

Black Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the flower Nigella sativa

Black Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the flower Nigella sativa

Black Seed Oil is also known as Cumin Seed Oil. It comes from the seeds of the Nigella sativa, commonly called virgin in the green flower.

Rich in fatty amino acids, Black Seed Oil is moisturizing to both the hair and the scalp.

For scalp care, Black Seed Oil contains Thymoquinone. This is an excellent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. It hydrates the scalp to keep it in optimal condition for growing healthy hair.  It combats scalp conditions such as dandruff, psoriasis, and other skin conditions  [3]

Black Seed Oil is called a hair growth remedy.  Studies of Telogen effluvium hair loss show topical Black Seed Oil reduces temporary hair loss. [4]

Black Cumin Oil works well with other ingredients to provide therapeutic effects.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

Panthenol is a humectant, emollient, and moisturizer. Panthenol is the alcohol analog of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and is a provitamin of B5. It has ultra-hydrating properties. But unlike oils, it won’t make hair oily or greasy.

Panthenol penetrates the hair shaft and locks in moisture. It also retains moisture along the hair surface which reflects light for a shiny appearance. It also makes hair look and feels soft and pliable without oils or waxes. The sealed-in moisture plumps the hair shaft which gives the hair a more voluminous appearance.  It makes hair look healthier by boosting shine and plumping the hair shaft. More volume gives even damaged or thinning hair a healthier appearance. [5]

It is excellent for brittle hair and curly hair. It washes clean from the hair without residue. For very porous hair, it can behave like a protein.

Panthenol also moisturizes the skin on the scalp and is believed to promote cell regeneration.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE VEGAN HAIRCARE DRIVEN BY SCIENCE

Noughty To The Rescue Intensive Moisture Treatment

We took a good look at what exactly makes this hair fixing formulation work. It is packed with ingredients that restore lifeless hair while helping hair retain precious moisture. It’s clever formulation uses oils that tend to make my hair soft but leave a residue.  In this formulation, the oils wash away cleanly and my coarse, curly hair is shiny, hydrated, and soft.

Let’s take a look at this Noughty formulation:

Key Ingredients

Sweet Almond Oil fixes dry, brittle hair

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Extract

Better known as sweet almonds. Sweet Almond Oil is hair reparative and softening.

It has amino acids and proteins to strengthen the hair strand and smooth the appearance of the hair cuticle. Very helpful in restoring the appearance of health on damaged hair.

Sweet Almond Oil is a light oil, ideal for very stressed or very fine texture hair. almond oil contains proteins and vitamins A, B, D, and E. It adds shine to fine, lackluster, and dull hair.

Shea butter definition at StyleChicks.com Defining Beauty Glossary

Shea Butter

Butyros-permum Parkii

Butyros-permum Parkii is Shea Butter.

Derived from the Shea nut, this emollient is packed with vitamins and softens the hair.

The direct application of Shea Butter can leave hair dull and greasy. But within a formulation, it washes away clean and leaves hair smooth.

Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil’s moisturizing properties are well-known. Coconut Oil penetrates deeper than other oils.

Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil

Rich in vitamins and fatty acids, it lends a softness to roughed-up hair.

Coconut Oil can be especially helpful to coarse and curly hair because coconut oil helps hair retain both protein and moisture. It also leaves hair with a nice slip.

Direct Coconut Oil application is messy and difficult to wash clean. In this formulation there is all the coconut benefit but it rinses out clean!

Limnanthes Alba

Meadowfoam

Limnanthes Alba is Meadowfoam Seed Oil derived from Meadowfoam flowers.

Meadowfoam Seed Oil is high in fatty acids. It is highly emollient and can lock moisture into the hair.

Limnanthes Alba is particularly useful on frizzy hair and dry, colored hair to help it stay hydrated.

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Argan Oil is popular in hair care.

Argan

Argan Oil keeps hair hydrated while also smoothing hair.

It promotes elasticity which reduces hair breakage. If you hair hair breakage or want to grow longer hair, Argan Oil is quite helpful.

Argan oil massaged into the scalp aids in stimulating hair growth. It softens hair length but its’ best use is the repair of damaged follicles.

Sunflower

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract

Sunflower Seed Extract is hydrating, nourishing, and a supporting carrier base oil. Rich in Vitamin E, it retains moisture in the hair. Frizzy hair is naturally more dry and brittle. Sunflower oil retains moisture in brittle hair, thereby reducing hair breakage.

Avena Strigosa Seed Extract

Black oat extract is rich in amino acids. It helps even brittle, dry hair retain moisture. It also imparts a healthy-looking natural gloss.

Behentrimonium Chloride

This one sounds like a chemical, but it is a conditioning agent obtained from the oil of field mustard seeds (oilseed turnip).

This plant-based agent detangles the hair and reduces static while softening and strengthening the hair. [1] It penetrates the hair shaft so it is a potent conditioner.

Lecithin

Lecithin is a fat found in plants like soybeans. It enhances the hair’s natural barrier, smoothing each shaft to renew the outer layer of the hair. Damaged hair has a ragged cuticle, making hair look dull.

Noughty To The Rescue

Noughty To The Rescue

texture and Consistency

Noughty To The Rescue is a rich, creamy formulation. It is quite thick but easily melts between my palms and soaks into the hair. Even on long hair, a few tablespoons is more than enough to coat thick, curly hair.

Thick formulation for serious rescue potential

The scent is heady notes of argan with almond scent.

It is a ten-ounce tub.

Noughty To The Rescue Masque is a thick, rich, creamy formulation
