PHILIP KINGSLEY Swimcap Water-Resistant Mask; Hair Protectant for Swimmers, Sunbathers and Summer Lovers, Protects and Shields Hair from Chlorinated Pool and Salt Water, 40ml

Must-have for sun-lovers who have colored hair. Before this product, my colored hair would bleach out and become brassy in the sun. But, this product protects my hair and it's NOT greasy.

The first time using it I noticed my towel did not have a bunch of hair on it when I dried off. It seems to work well. I hope it shows in the long run. If the first try is any indicator I will be a return customer. Only drawback is that it made my bathing cap slip more easily and had to readjust. Small concern and probably it is just showing that it is working.

I used this product for the first time today before swimming in a chlorinated pool. I applied the product according to the directions by dampening my hair first. I was immediately overcome by the scent, which can only be described as "1980s grandma." It smells like a cheap perfume from the 1980s that I can't quite place. What I can say with certainty is that one of my two grandmothers sprayed herself with a scent curiously similar to this product. Overpowering? Yes. Sickly sweet? Absolutely. Will I use this product again? The jury is out. I love how soft it made my hair, but can I tolerate smelling like this again? I don't know. (And yes, I shampoo twice, per the directions, and followed up with a generous dollop of my luxury gym's high-end conditioner.)

I got this to use while working on my dive certifications. I have platinum blonde hair and needed a way to protect it for 4 or 5 hours of pool time. This did a great job. My hair didnt end up with a slight green tinge like usual and it is still feeling pretty soft the day after. The smell is a little bit dated, but its not that bad and you won't notice while you are swimming anyways. Definitely will repurchase.

It's good for removing sea salt from hair

I haven’t actually used this yet. The reason I came to review it is because of the size and smell. This bottle is tiny for the price. The problem is the smell. When another review says it smells like an old lady perfume, believe them. It smells STRONGLY of the powder my grandma used to wear back in 1995. I’m honestly wary of using it now because I don’t want my scent to make people think of baby powder, denture cream and orthopedic slippers.

Very good hair protection

Sooooo much smaller than expected unbelievable that they could even charge $19.99 for a small sample of this product

Great product. I can tell the difference after washing my hair.

This is expensive stuff but SO worth it if you swim a lot. I have dyed hair and was having to re-dye after every swim. The chlorine in the pool would completely bleach out the colour and turn it from red to orange every time I swam. I decided to try this stuff as I swim pretty much daily at the moment. It completely stops the chlorine bleaching out my colour and the condition of my hair has drastically improved since using too. It is expensive, but even with thick hair I only use a small amount and it seems to work. It also seems to stay put when I use the sauna and steam room too! I will be buying again!

Really good to have. Use it abroad to keep your hair moist when in and out of the pool. Keeps your hair hydrated in the sun.

Carried the larger size tube of this reef-safe product with me to the Galápagos Islands . Parting and combing it through my hair was easy . Gave a slicked hair look that did not impact the seal/fit of my snorkel mask. I was pleased that it easily washed out with (even reef safe) shampoo as well . This masque definitely helped my colour processed hair survive several snorkel trips in equator line sun .. and no sunburn on my centre part (an issue on previous water holidays ). Really pleased to find this smaller tube size available to purchase for my next snorkel trip .

Product is ok but the tube is so tiny it will only last a couple of uses. I need it for frequent use due to weekly swimming. Very expensive for such a small tube.
