PK elasticizer - what did I do wrong?

[MichelleRouxJnr]

Having read recommendations on a thread here recently, I used Philip Kingsley Elasticizer for the first time this morning.
But - nothing

I have straight, shoulder length, highlighted, fine (but lots of it) hair. The ends can be crispy and I often have a halo of frizz/flyaway.

I used a small amount (2 x 10p sized blobs) on wet hair, smoothed it on the mid-lengths and ends, popped on a showercap and left it for 25 mins.
I washed and dried as usual (with BBH) and ... meh.
No big wow, flippy-hair, ta-dah effect.
Just as dull and unbouncy and ever.

Should I use more? Leave it on for longer? Does the effect build up with multiple uses?
Please tell me there is hope for my sad hair.

i wasn't impressed with Elasticizer, didn't do much for my hair. Luckily I just bought a trial size.

I have no luck with it either and can't understand why it's so expensive the main ingredient is castor oil. My hair is like yours and I get good results with coconut oil or the Weleda Rosemary oil.

It did nothing for me either, but if you do try again I would certainly towel dry your hair before putting it on (you should do this with every deep condition tbh).

I towel-dry & put a bun in it for 20mins, then rinse, shampoo as usual after. Not tricky & it works for me

A few yrs ago I had some samples just as it was launched in John Lewis. I have long, blonde, straight hair and it did nothing for my hair at all which did surprise me considering the claims and ££ of it!

Does anyone know if the ojon hair mask is any better? Or what can I use in place of pk? I have very very fine hair.

I really love it ! Must just depend on your hair type.
Always use it in holiday.

PK Elasticisor has a cumulative effect (is that the word? The more you use it the better it gets)

I have the walloping great 1 litre QVC bottle. I used to put it on dry hair, thought meh. Then put on damp hair + clingfilm.
WOW

OJON- I didn't like the effect or the smell (like rubbing your head in an ashtray with coffee slops)
Best thing I found for Ojon was melting in my hands an rubbing through DD bum length hair efore using the Nitty Gritty (nice )

Poor bloke went up the river in a boat to find the People With No Hats for that .

I've tried both and sadly not worth the price tag- but like most things it suits some people more than others!

I thought PK was pants. I like Ojon much more and thought it was really good for very dry ends. Am using Kerastase atm which is good too.

Oooo ojon smells like coffee?

ITS CRAP - I KEEP SAYING!

No BALD, Ojon smells like fags.

Eliot I KNOW!

I got the 1l size after someone mentioning the offer on QVC and I also use it on damp hair with cling film. If your hair is too wet the stuff will get diluted and won't be as good.

I had my hair coloured yesterday and my hairdresser said I could get away with not cutting it as it was in good condition! Usually she makes me have fluffy broken ends cut off - this time there were none

I have fine, bra strap length, big, pouffy wavy hair

I have it on right now, on towel dried hair and wrapped in clingfilm, thanks MN

I'm going to leave it on, and wash out in the morning, I'm hoping for a good result, but not too hopeful after reading this thread...

Disappointed, smelling o coffee, sexxxxxy, smelling o' fags, not so.

I was disappointed in the elasticizer too :( used raw coconut oil and it was so much more effective at 10% of the price. I've long, thick hair prone to frizz.

It did nothing for my hair either
