Has anyone used the Kerastase Elasto-Curl line? Does it improve curl definition as it states????

bump!

I used it a few years ago and fell in LOVE, really defined the curls and made them soft and bouncy. But I tried it again last year, and it just didn't work as well. I thought it was my hair changing texture but my hairdresser says that they have changed the formula. This new one just isn't as effective. I used to love their leave in cream. She actually recommended I use the Oleo relax line, and so far it's been great! I use the Oleo Relax hair mask as a conditioner and leave in as my hair is very thick!

I was considering the curl one because I have wavy hair and would like to wear it wavy more often now. I was concerned the oleo relax would, well, relax the curl, so as to make it harder for me to wear it curly.

Do you wear your hair curly or straight?

I usually wear my hair curly because it's so much easier than having to blowdry it. Actually, from what I remember the Elastocurl has mousse type of leave in, maybe that would work better. My hairs really dry as well, so using the Oleo Relax as a leave in helps the curls become a bit bouncier.

You could try the Elastocurl. You may like it, it just seems to be a little bit lighter now, and doesn't work for my texture. I haven't re-used the shampoo, just the conditioner and leave in. But it's almost worth it just for the smell! ah

Ya, mine is coarse, dry and wavy, so the oleo relax is wonderful for keeping it soft and healthy. The leave-in I use (7 seconds by Unite) is amazing and just as valuable to me to keep my hair soft. It is lighter than the oleo mask, which I need.

I know!! The elasto curl smells sooooo good! The oleo relax fragrance is the absolute ONLY thing I'm not in love with about it.

The whole point to my question, like I said, is that I would really like to get better at wearing my hair CURLY! It looks so great and fun for A DAY! Then I have to wash it, cause the curls get messy and frizzy. When I straighten it, I can go around three days without having to wash it. I just run a flat iron through the top layer and it's done. So, I am looking for something that makes my curly hair easier to manage from day to day, as well as makes the curls more defined.

I did find these things called Curlformers though! You put them in when your hair is damp and they take a little time to get in. But when my hair is dry, the curls are soooo nice! Defined, springy, shiny, beautiful!

So I guess I will just get used to doing it curly everyday again and it'll get better.

I remember that the more often I let my hair go curly (instead of straightening it), the curlier it got. So I'll wait and see how it turns out.

Thanks for your opinion though!!
