A love letter to truly the best product out there for bouncy hair...

'After using it is the only time my hair has resembles anything remotely like Kate Middleton's'

As a beauty journalist, I try product after product after product after (you get the idea) and so few things are a constant in my bathroom or make-up bag.

That said, there are some products that I always ensure are in stock – Bobbi Brown Creamy Corrector, Windle and Moodie Invisible Day & Night Cream and Origins Super Spot Remover are a few of my must-haves at all times.

Continuing this theme, there is one conditioning treatment I always make sure is in my shower to nourish and tame my unruly, frizzy hair. In terms of the best hair conditioners, this is The One.

After using this product is the only time my hair has resembles anything remotely like Kate Middleton's. It's super bouncy without that weighed down, heavy feeling that using multiple styling products would leave, because it's applied to wet hair before shampooing, so any excess not absorbed by the hair is washed away.

I am, of course, talking about the one and only Elasticizer by legendary hair stylist and trichologist, Philip Kingsley. And, given that one is sold every two minutes, I'm certainly not alone in my opinion of how great it is.
