Philip Kingsley's cult Elasticizer and Frizz-Fighting Gloss promise smoother, healthier-looking hair. Here's a quick look at how they performed, with the full verdict available in the complete review.
If your hair turns into a halo of frizz the moment humidity strikes, you're not alone. Philip Kingsley's famous Elasticizer has been a cult favourite for decades, while the newer Frizz-Fighting Gloss Smoothing Serum promises to smooth flyaways without leaving hair feeling greasy. After putting both to the test on naturally curly, frizz-prone hair, there's one clear standout.
The biggest surprise was the Philip Kingsley Frizz-Fighting Gloss Smoothing Serum. It delivered noticeably smoother, glossier hair even on humid days, while remaining lightweight enough not to flatten curls. A little goes a long way too, making the £26 price tag feel easier to justify over time. If you're curious about the latest price, it's worth comparing before you buy.
Meanwhile, the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer impressed as an intensive pre-shampoo treatment. Hair felt softer, more hydrated and easier to manage after the first use, without becoming heavy or lank. It does require a little planning, as the treatment needs to be left on for at least 20 minutes before shampooing, but it quickly became part of a regular haircare routine. Those considering the hair treatment may also appreciate that larger sizes offer better long-term value.
Neither product is the cheapest option available, but both perform well, particularly when used together. For anyone struggling with dryness, frizz or humidity, they offer a convincing alternative to endlessly trying products that fail to live up to their claims. The full review explains which product came out on top, who they're best suited to and whether they're really worth the investment.
