That's a funny thought. *chuckling*  For me, it was the long list of plant extracts in the ingredients, and not so many chemicals.  I used it for years until they started putting -cones in them.

Ah, so it's a protein reconstructor.  It's easy to overdose on those.  I use such a conditioner about once every 2 months.  Years ago, when I used one every time I washed my hair, I quickly got crunchy hair.

This is what I used
 
 
It has Amodimethicone listed near the bottom.It is heavy on protein which I think is what caused the problem

yeah, it sounds like the product has made everything worse!

I've got really dry hair too (damaged bleached and blowdried ends) so I have gone away from shampooing altogether. I "wash" with water or conditioner, but my ends are still super dry, so every week or so I also do a "Snowy's Moisture Treatment" (from LHC - 1 part deep conditioner, 1/3 part honey, 1/3 part PURE aloe vera) or an oiling. This seems to help, but I also just cut off 1/2 inch - where my hair has been bleached and re-bleached, there didn't seem to be any hope.

I would not trust any product that says it can moisturize your hair...most are way overpriced. Oils from your kitchen (yes, those!) do a lot better...

Hi Nastasska!

I agree with AmandaPanda... you need to get rid of whatever that product deposited on your hair.  What are the top ingredients in it?  Lots of -cones, perhaps?  (And how does your hair like -cones?).  Just guessing based on the name (elasticizer!), it sounds rather horrid...

Wow no connection at all!
 
I wonder if it is one of those crazy marketing schemes again?!
 
Let me know how it goes :)

Hey Nastasska, what sort of ingredients are in that product? Your hair could be dry from buildup, which will only go away if you clarify.

Hi Nastasska,
 
The best product i have ever tried for dry hair is Aussie 3 Minute Miracal deep conditioner. I am sure you should be able to get Aussie products in Aussie!
 
Good Luck :)

I was using Philip Kingsley Elasterciser for just over a month and instead of the promises the jar made all it's done is dry my hair out-alotAngry
I need something super moisturising to get my hair back to rights what do you recommendStar
