Tried and Tested: Philip Kingsley Moisture Extreme Shampoo and Conditioner

Like many of you, we have been inspired by Solange Knowles and her natural hair journey. It can be tricky figuring out what products to use on transitioning or natural hair. Fear not! We are going to sift through the shelves of shampoos, conditioners and treatments and report back on what’s good, what’s bad and what you need to stay way from!

Our first review is of Philip Kingsley’s Moisture Extreme Shampoo and Conditoner.

Kingsley is a famous and well respected trichologist – an expert in the structure and function of human hair including the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the hair and scalp – so we had high expectations of these products, especially as they are meant for, according to the packaging, ‘textured, afro, mixed, curly and porous hair’. It should even work on synthetic hair or extensions.

We weren’t disappointed!

The shampoo left our natural afro hair feeling fresh but not dried out and one application was enough for it to be perfectly clean.

The conditioner applied well. We found we had to use a fair amount to get good coverage but that may be more down to the length of our hair (past shoulders) than the actual product. Once the conditioner was on the hair we went through it with a wide tooth comb and after rinsing, found the hair easy to manage and hardly tangled at all. Plus it smelled nice!

We heartily recommend and give Philip Kingsley’s Moisture Extreme Shampoo and Conditoner 4 out of 5.
