Philip Kingsley Daily Damage Defense Conditioning Spray
Philip Kingsley was the London trichologist, and this leave-in has been protecting hair from heat and sun since long before heat protection was a category. Elastin, sweet almond and panthenol in a spray light enough for fine hair, which most heat protectants are not.
