- Hello, welcome back.
I'm Millie and I have been hair-fluenced.
That's right, you heard it, hair-fluenced.
So I've been road testing some masks.
These ones are ones that you guys have been obsessed with,
you know the office has been obsessed with,
and my little cheeky ears have been like, what is this?
We're gonna have a little bit of a chat,
about Philip Kingsley, Davroe, K18,
in our live stream a whole bunch of you were like,
(knocking)
Millie, we need to talk about K18 and I'm like,
I hear you, I hear you.
So this is for you.
Hold on tight, couple more minutes and I've got you.
So, I'm gonna give your a couple of my first impressions
about these masks,
how I found them as someone with finer hair,
how I found them as someone with a hairdressing background,
what I think of them and in general, you know,
my final thoughts would I use again?
I was going to have a really fun show and tell with you guys
at home.
I was going to be like, Wa bow, look at this
but look, I'm going to be honest.
I grabbed my coffee and not the product bag on the counter.
- Priorities.
I'm so sorry.
I had to be caffeinated today. Calm down.
No booing, no hissing.
The lovely Maddie will pop the products
as we talk about them.
First of all,
we're going to dip into Phillip Kingsley,
now it is one of their hero products.
It is the elasticizer treatment.
I have the elasticizer extreme here.
I thought when I had first heard about it,
I actually thought that it was just a traditional hair mask.
I had a bit more of a research into it,
and it's actually a pre shampoo hair mask
and a pre shampoo hair treatment.
First of all, Philip Kingsley,
they do no wrong with their scents, gorgeous.
It's one of, one of Philip Kingsley's hero, hero products.
It does actually also come with a little cap too,
which is super cute.
A little bonnet, if you do have the time,
what you can do is just kind of dampen your hair down,
Pop your treatment in pop your little bonnet on,
10 to 20 minutes, watch an episode of friends,
cook some dinner, scroll a bit on Tiktok.
I know that I get into a wormhole that way,
straight into the shower, rinse.
I did notice and it does even say in the directions,
to always double shampoo after.
I found that I did about three shampoos,
just because it did feel a little bit heavy when I only did
my normal two after,
could have been that I might've used a smidge bit too much.
So I kind of started with your 20 cent piece,
finer hair, I would go with your 10 cent piece.
So you know, your, roundabout that much,
your conditioner after,
and you have gorgeous, shiny hair that is hydrated,
that is strengthened.
Any little hair concern that you were like, hmm,
that needs a little bit of work.
She's got you.
If you do start to roam into that thicker longer hair
that needs that little bit extra,
more hydration, that boost of strengthening,
anyone with like super, more tight,
like ringlet-y kind of curls.
That's where I would dip into the extreme
over your normal elasticizer.
So you are looking at about $73 for this one.
It is definitely one of the more bougie-er masks
because the formulation is a little more concentrated.
You can get away with using less, finer hair, shorter hair,
even more so.
So you will find that it will last you a little bit longer.
And because you're only doing it kind of as needed,
like you're once a fortnight.
I don't mind spending a little bit more,
but it is a personal preference. Alrighty.
So thank you for waiting patiently.
Now I've got you, for my friends who are like,
(tapping)
Millie, I want to hear about K18.
What it actually is, is a reparative style treatment.
So the aim is to reverse chemical
and physical damage in the hair.
My bank account was like,
ma'am ma'am what are you doing?
So look,
you are looking at about $94.50 for this one.
Now I know boos and hisses from all the crowd,
however it's incredible. It has years of new technology,
groundbreaking technology it's a formula on like any other
where you're actually skipping conditioner.
This is giving you salon technology at home.
Now they have lots of patented bioactive peptides in there
that are very special to their formula and their
formula alone.
So that's where they're kind of that new buzz on the market.
I found it really incredible
that (indistinct) works in four minutes,
especially for those people that are a little bit time poor.
I know that for myself,
if I'm getting the same treatment of something that might
take half an hour and I'm getting it in four minutes
and I can do it over however many days, incredible,
I first kind of started it.
And I really wanted that cosmetic,
my hair feels super soft and I was like do I rinse it,
what happened?
But then after actually using it as suggested,
I really saw the difference. And like, I'm not,
I'm not bullshitting. I'm not lying.
I found that my hair did have a little bit more shine.
It felt better after the time,
it didn't immediately feel better.
I wasn't like, oh my God, my hair is so silky and so smooth.
It was with work, keeping to my routine,
keeping to the directions of the product.
I just kind of found that like my ends weren't as wispy,
my hair felt better. My hair wasn't really snapping.
So this is after shampooing,
no conditioner, popping out of the shower.
I use a T-shirt to actually dry my hair,
to get rid of the moisture.
And then I applied from mid lengths to ends.
The product was really generous.
For the finer head friends like myself.
If you're a similar hair length and the hair texture,
I use about a half a pump, leave in for four minutes
and then I would apply on top of that,
my normal styling products,
so make heat protectants, my leave-ins, the whole shebang.
I think this one is really great for those who have chemical
damage, who have any heat styling damage.
Anyone who finds that their hair is maybe a little bit more
frail price-wise if, if you're more concerned about price,
you know, there were other great options.
You know, you don't have to splurge for K18.
You, you know, you can still use Olaplex.
We have done an affordable haircare video,
which will pop just here.
For all those K18 curiosity cats
So, sorry.
I'm so sorry to anyone
who just had to experience that.
For anyone who is curious about K 18,
I hope that answered your questions.
If you do have any more, please leave them in the comments.
I'm more than happy to answer any of those.
So moving on to our last little proud of the vid,
unfortunately don't have it with me, but it's here.
So it is the Davroe rebuilder.
So they are a new brand
and I always love to, to give a new brand,
especially Australian made. I think that's really important.
They also sulfate-free paraben-free and vegan,
and they are another pre shampoo treatment.
Now this one actually isn't a cream,
which was what I really liked about it.
It was more of a gel formula.
So I found it really went through the hair really nicely.
It does focus more on
like it's a rebuilding protein treatment.
It smells great.
It has more of that Australian native scent,
which I really enjoy it.
It wasn't really heavy on the hair either. Which for myself,
again, finer hair that is something that I look for in a
rebuilding treatment.
I had no complaints.
I had no complaints. I had no complaints using it.
It's got like a little squeezy bottle,
which I find is really, really great for the shower.
And the absolute thing that I love about this product
is that it's $28.95, $28.95.
And you've got a rebuilding pertain treatment
for your pre shampoo, stunning. Love that.
Hair felt great, hair felt hydrated,
didn't weigh my hair down. So I finished all of these,
which would I keep in my haircare routine.
It's gotta be K18, for those days,
where I am trying to quick speed out the door,
but I still want to do a hair treatment.
Those four minutes. So speedy.
If you just want more of your pre shampoo standard mask,
that's where you would go.
Your Philip Kingsley elasticizer.
If you're looking for something that's more of your protein
pre-treatment but a little bit more affordable,
you'd go with your Davroe.
So if you have tried any of these,
please let me know what you think in the comments.
If there's a hair mask that I haven't spoken about yet,
and you're like, excuse me, Emily,
please try this one, again. Let me know in the comments.
I love to read them. I love to see them.
I love to try new things. Click here from all vids from me,
and we will see you guys next time.
