Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Therapies Carabao Mango & Hibiscus Deep-Conditioning Treatment 1000ml is a limited-edition pre-shampoo hair mask that delivers intense moisture, strength and bounce in a single application, scented with a tropical-fruity Carabao mango and hibiscus accord. The cult Elasticizer formula — originally developed for Audrey Hepburn — leaves hair softer, more elastic and more resilient against everyday breakage, while the limited-edition fragrance turns each wash into a sensory escape.
About Philip Kingsley
Philip Kingsley is the British trichology brand founded in London in 1968 by trichologist Philip Kingsley himself, who pioneered the concept of pre-shampoo conditioning treatments. The Elasticizer was originally created for Audrey Hepburn in 1974 and has remained one of the most recommended pre-wash hair masks in the world ever since, supported by Philip Kingsley's clinics in London and New York.
What it does
- Restores elasticity and bounce — hydrolysed elastin helps hair stretch and recover rather than snap under brushing and styling
- Deep moisture surge — castor and olive oils rehydrate dry, brittle hair from the inside, leaving it shiny and supple
- Strengthens against breakage — visible improvement in resilience and strength from one use, with cumulative benefits
- UV protection for colour — helps prolong colour-treated hair by buffering against UV exposure even after rinsing
- Suits all hair textures — particularly transformative for dry, damaged, fine or chemically treated hair
- Limited-edition tropical scent — sweet Carabao mango and floral hibiscus for a holiday-mood wash
Who it's for
The Elasticizer is ideal for anyone with dry, damaged, frizz-prone, brittle or colour-treated hair, and is gentle enough for fine hair when used as directed. It's used weekly by clients of Philip Kingsley's London and New York trichology clinics, and is regularly cited as one of the most effective deep-conditioning treatments in salon-quality haircare. The 1000ml salon-size bottle is ideal for households of multiple users, regular weekly treatments, and as a generous gift for serious haircare devotees.
How to use
- Apply to wet, untangled hair before shampooing — never to dry hair
- Section the hair and work a generous amount through from mid-lengths to ends, then up to the roots
- Cover with a shower cap and leave on for 10–20 minutes (the longer, the better; up to overnight for extreme dryness)
- Rinse thoroughly, then shampoo and condition as usual
- Use once a week, or twice for very dry or damaged hair
