Philip kingsley elasticizer vs elasticizer extreme

Hi,

I'm going to give this product a go, I've heard lots of good things about it. However I'm unsure whether I need the extreme version or not? I have naturally straight hair which is prone to frizz, lots of hilights and I use hair dryer & irons most days. Can anyone advise which one to get?

Thanks!

Im fairly sure you will just need the original - extreme is for afro or seriously damaged hair. If you want to intensify your results just leave it on your hair longer. I do mine once a week and I have abit of a ritual. I spray my hair with warm water (it needs to be damp before the elasticizer goes on), pop the elasticizer on, pop on a shower cap and then put a hot towel on over the top (I use those microfiber turbans you get in the pound shop - they are fantastic and no way near as bulky). I then go to bed. When I have my shower in the morning my hair looks amazing.

Was utterly underwhelmed. Prefer argan oil which made noticeable difference

I was v underwhelmed too

underwhelmed too - but i don't go to the same effort as mrsmartin! I just wet my hair, apply it, leave on for a wee while, rinse off then wash as normal. i should try the hot towel route

i was disappointed in it, much, much much prefer the Lee Stafford long hair stuff - now that works actual miracles on my hair and is miles cheaper...

Thanks all. I might try the 75ml and see how I get on. What is the Lee Stafford stuff?

I've tried ojon oil too. I didn't get great results with that, so it will be interesting to see if this makes a difference. Or maybe my hair is just a lost cause!

Well, if you can find an affordable kit, try it with qvc and then you can return it if you don't like it.

Lee stafford argan. Much better
