Philip B

Katira Hair Masque: Philip B makes some of the most amazing hair products on the market. It's almost impossible not to fall in love with the entire line once you've tried just one product. This intensive treatment is oil-free, so it won't weigh down even the finest, most limp hair. In fact, it plumps up thin strands and fills in damaged areas, making hair feel thicker, bouncier, and stronger. The brand calls it "a squeaky-clean version" of a deep-conditioning treatment; you'll get vibrant shine, silkiness, moisture, and elasticity without so much as a hint of added weight or residue. Katira is said to be "the miracle of Persia," and unlike many products which tout fine ingredients but contain tiny amounts of them, Katira is the top ingredient in this after water and glycerin. The clear gel formula is bizarre and amazing, and it will truly transform any hair type into its best possible shape. Weirdly, it infuses hair with a slight electrical charge that speeds up blow-drying time. Fo' real. The full size is expensive (but not ridiculous), but you can pick up a travel size/gateway drug for half the price of the original. [$40, Philip B]
