The Trichologist Philip Kingsley is, in my opinion, the master of the hair domain. I had the pleasure of meeting the spritely Brit earlier this year in London and was blown away by his knowledge when it comes to hair and scalp health. (Watch for a major feature in one of our Spring 2013 issues!) His clinics in London and New York are the place to go if you are looking for advice on hair loss and a holistic treatment approach, he’s been in the business for over 50 years and his award-winning product line is one of the most comprehensive, high-performing on the market. Someone needs to put this guy on a stamp already. Don’t head into autumn without trying the hero product in the Philip Kingsley line—the Elasticizer. A pre-treatment that you apply before shampooing, it delivers a mega dose of moisture inside the hair cuticle while also smoothing the outside of the hair shaft. It’s most impressive when used on damaged, over-processed hair as the difference is nearly instantaneous. Calling this a deep conditioner- or even a mask -is insulting. Consider it a hair re-builder. Kingsley developed it for Audrey Hepburn who wanted something to help her hair look great while withstanding the frequent styling and colouring she endured as an actress. If it’s good enough for Audrey… Philip Kingsley Elasticizer, $45 at
