OK, so the title is misleading. I didn’t get to know Philip Kingsley personally, but I did spend a very enjoyable evening recently getting to know the range of products behind his name.
Philip Kingsley is something of an eminent name in the world of haircare. Known in America as “the hair guru”, he has been running trichology clinics and treating the barnets of celebrities, politicians and royalty for years. His message is that “healthy hair is beautiful hair” and so I was really pleased to get to know a little bit more about the brand as this is an ethos that definitely appeals to me.
Regular readers will know that I am a long-term sufferer of psoriasis and I can never predict when I am going to experience a flare-up, or what my skin will randomly decide to take against. I was recommended Philip Kingsley’s No Scent, No Colour shampoo and conditioner set, which is specifically formulated for sensitive, delicate or easily irritated scalps. It is designed to address the needs of the growing number of allergic and reactive skin types for whom fragrance and strong surfactants are not an option. Philip actually created this duo for his wife to use as she was undergoing cancer treatment, and in need of a seriously mild and non-irritating product.
It is kind of weird washing your hair with a product that doesn’t smell. The consistency is great and it lathers perfectly, but yes, after years of using highly perfumed products, this took a bit of getting used to. As well as being scent and colour free, it also contains no parabens or SLS. A definite winner in my book, especially as 50p from the sale of every 250ml bottle and 25p from the sale of every 75ml bottle is donated to Look Good Feel Better, a cancer support charity that helps women overcome the visible side effects of cancer treatment.
Both my husband and I have been using No Scent, No Colour for a couple of weeks now and are experiencing softer, cleaner, manageable tangle free hair. And better yet, no itching, no discomfort and no scalp psoriasis. This is a discovery I am really glad to have made, and can see myself repurchasing time and time again.
No Scent No Colour shampoo retails at £14.30 for 250ml or £5.60 for 75ml bottles. The conditioner is £17.40 for 250ml, or £7.10 for 75ml. For more information on Philip Kingsley products, and to make a purchase, visit the website here.

I Love these products, they may seem expensive but I find they last for ages, I can’t keep using the same products each week though as my dermatitis reacts so I alternate between this and Label M. x
I have been a Philip Kingsley fan for a long time. I would never be without his Elasticiser treatment, it really is the best hair treatment I’ve ever used.
