The Truth: As you all know, I don't use Elasta QP DPR-11 on it's own. I always mix it with AtOne Botanical Reconstructor along with EVOO and Honey. Well today, for some strange reason, I decided to use the DPR-11 with EVOO alone (after a protein treatment) and to my amazement, it turned out incredibly well. Here was my measurements:

→ 5 tsp of EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
→ 3-4 tsp of Elasta QP DPR-11

I went under the dryer for 25mins under medium heat, rinsed, applied my leave-ins (Elasta QP HTWO Leave-in & NTM Silk Touch) then did the Scarf Method, as usual. I must admit there was barely any slip when detangling in the shower (according to the Moisture Vs. Slip Poll, Moisture is indeed better!). It was quite frustrating.

However, my hair does feel very smooth, soft and moist to the touch. I'm honestly shocked because using DPR-11 with just EVOO alone never really "did it" for me. Maybe my hair is responding to it differently, who knows. Just thought I'd share that with you all. I'll start using it a little more (with EVOO alone) now to see if this experience is consistent..LOL.
