Anabel Kingsley Explains how Elasticizer Works for Each Hair Texture
How does Elasticizer work for my hair texture?
Elasticizer is designed to be applied before shampooing, while hair is wet, so its conditioning ingredients can penetrate the hair shaft rather than sitting on the surface. It combines protein to help reinforce the hair's internal structure with oils and humectants that hold moisture in place, which is what restores flexibility to hair that has become dry, over-processed or chemically treated.
What are the immediate benefits of using Elasticizer?
Used correctly, Elasticizer softens hair almost immediately: you should feel the difference in how easily your hands glide through it while it's still on. Once rinsed out, hair typically feels more pliable and springs back into shape rather than stretching and breaking, which is the effect the "elasticizer" name refers to.
Elasticizer vs. Elasticizer Extreme
Elasticizer is formulated for fine to medium hair, or hair with moderate damage. Elasticizer Extreme is a richer version aimed at coarser, thicker or more severely damaged hair, and at the ends of fine hair that need extra conditioning without weighing the roots down. Many clients use both: standard Elasticizer through the lengths, with Extreme concentrated on the most damaged sections.
Elasticizer for fine, medium and thick hair
Fine hair benefits from a lighter hand and a double shampoo to rinse Elasticizer out fully, so it doesn't leave hair feeling weighed down. Medium and thick hair can typically take a more generous application and a longer processing time, since there is more hair to penetrate. Whatever your texture, once-weekly use is the starting point most trichologists recommend, adjusting frequency for how damaged or dry the hair currently is.
