Philip Kingsley are about to release the all new Bond Builder Restructuring Treatment (£28). With the power to target and repair broken bonds and strengthen existing ones, this reparative pre-shampoo treatment restores chemically damaged, heat ravaged hair back to its former glory. Arming hair with three times more resilience against damage, this intensive treatment works beneath the surface of the hair’s cuticle to rebuild damaged strands from the inside out. Repairing damage caused by everyday heat styling and chemical culprits, this pre-shampoo staple is a game-changer for strands craving restorative care, repair and strength.
Unlike other bond treatments that contain many conditioning agents, Bond Builder Restructuring Treatment is encapsulated within a minimal, pH adjusted formulation, encompassing just one lightweight agent. Conditioning agents smooth the cuticle, and, by doing so, can limit how well active ingredients can penetrate the hair. The inclusion of just one conditioning agent, enables the advanced active technology to penetrate the cuticle with maximum efficacy, rather than being blocked by multiple agents coating the hair.
Available exclusively from philipkingsley and lookfantastic from 16th August and nationwide from 1st September.

They are a small charity and have to prioritise assistance to those who need it most urgently. Priority will be given to households where only one adult (working within the industry) provides the only income to the household (e.g. if you live with your partner who will still receive an employed wage, priority will be given to single parent families whose only income is dependent on their hair/beauty industry wage).
