FAQs
How often should I use the Elasticizer?
For optimal results, it is recommended to use the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer once or twice a week, depending on your hair's condition and needs. More damaged hair may benefit from more frequent use initially.
Can I leave the Elasticizer on overnight?
Yes, for a more intensive deep-conditioning treatment, you can leave the Elasticizer on overnight. It's advisable to cover your hair with a shower cap or towel to protect your bedding.
Is this product suitable for color-treated hair?
Yes, the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer is suitable for color-treated hair. It can help improve the condition and elasticity of hair that may be stressed by coloring processes, contributing to better color retention and overall hair health.
How much product should I use?
The amount of Elasticizer needed varies based on your hair's length, thickness, and condition. Start with a generous amount to cover mid-lengths to ends, and adjust as needed to ensure all strands are coated. Finer hair may require less than very thick or long hair.
What is the difference between Elasticizer and a regular conditioner?
Elasticizer is a pre-shampoo treatment specifically formulated to boost hair elasticity, strength, and moisture at a deeper level than most regular conditioners. It prepares the hair for washing, whereas a regular conditioner is typically used after shampooing to detangle, smooth the cuticles, and provide surface hydration.
Troubleshooting
Hair feels heavy or greasy after use.
Ensure you are thoroughly rinsing the product out of your hair before shampooing. Follow with your regular shampoo and conditioner to remove any potential residue. Also, check the amount of product you are using; excessive application might lead to heaviness, especially for finer hair.
Not seeing desired results after first use.
Elasticizer is a treatment that often shows cumulative benefits. For best results, use consistently as recommended (typically once or twice a week). Ensure you are leaving the product on for the recommended minimum time (10-20 minutes) and following the application instructions correctly.
Product is difficult to rinse out.
Before rinsing, try adding a small amount of water to your hair and emulsifying the product for a minute. This can help break it down before a full rinse. Use warm water and continue rinsing until the water runs completely clear. Following with a good shampoo will also help remove any remaining traces.
Scalp feels irritated after use.
While Elasticizer is generally gentle, if irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately. Ensure the product is applied primarily to the hair strands and not directly to the scalp, particularly if you have a sensitive scalp. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist.
