ELASTICITY RESTORING TREATMENT
Repair and protect the cuticle layer of your strands for smoother, more elastic, defined curls that break less and retain more length.
This treatment was made specifically to address the most pressing concerns of all curl types - dryness and breakage. The lipid barrier (cuticle layer) of your hair is responsible for trapping moisture inside strands. When that layer is damaged, you lose moisture quickly after washing, resulting in single strand knots, tangles, split ends, frizz and frustration.
With this #1 best selling treatment, the cortex (inner section of your strand) is replenished with moisturizing, nourishing and repairing ingredients and the cuticle is repaired to trap it all in giving you hair that retains more moisture, breaks less and retains more length.

How To Use + Pro-Tips
Instructions: After cleansing with The Ultimate Hydrator shampoo, apply in sections and detangle. Process for 5-10 minutes with hair steamer, dryer or conditioning cap. Rinse and apply Curl Primer or Styling Potion.
Pro-Tips: This formula is concentrated so you can use less; start with a small amount per section and add where needed.
Make sure you apply it on soaking wet hair, rub it together in the palms of your (wet) hands first to emulsify, then smooth through your section with your fingers until you feel your hair soften and "open up." Use your detangling comb or brush ends to roots.
Even if you plan to step out of the shower to detangle, it is recommended to apply the treatment in the shower so you can add more water to your hair if needed.
You can cover with a processing cap while in the shower, use a heated conditioning cap/hooded dryer or steamer to process the treatment for 5 - 15 minutes.
If you have low porosity you can process up to 20 minutes, but do not leave in for hours or overnight!

Q: Is this a protein treatment?

I have been using this treatment for about a month or two, and I love it. It goes on smooth and is concentrated. I sit under steamer for 10 minutes, per the directions and then I style. Here's my result today and my routine. I'm pretty proud of the results! It's my best wash/go yet. And I used all of Mo's products! (Hydrator, curl primer, treatment, gel, oil)
This is like magic for my hair, shedding has been to a minimum and it smells good, real good!! Love it, ordering more!!
…This conditioner is theabsolute best thing I’ve used in years since regrowing my hair! It smells amazing and the thickness is nothing to play with lol a little goes a very long way so keep that in mind for my heavy handed boys & girls out there!Moisture is a 10/10 will buy again! I noticed that it absorbs into my hair rather than just sitting on top of my hair. My hair feels so soft after the very first use. If you’re looking for better elasticity to your hair, this product is it!
AMAZING PRODUCT!✨💛
This is a must have, do not pass goon wash day without this. It has completely changed the feel of my hair, been using for about 8months.
Your hair is GORGEOUS! Thank you for sharing your beautiful results.
Perfect! My hair needed all of this treatment. Patiently awaiting the serum and curl products to be restocked.❤️
Gorgeous hair!
This is the best treatment my hair has ever had! I have natural dry frizzy and unruly dyed gray hair. This is transforming my hair back to what it was before the gray frizzy dry hair. I love it!
We love to see it! So beautiful.
First time using Mo products and they do what she says. My daughter has curly hair and it’s been a challenge finding the right products. Well this is it and we’ll be adding to the collection. Thank you!
After2 years, finally found the right products for my hair. It really enhanced the springiness and softness of my curls. And decreased my shedding significantly.
I saw an immediate difference
After years of trying out both mid & high end hair products that left much to be desired, I've finally found a hair treatment where its efficacy & simplicity not only improved the look, feel, behavior & vibrancy of my hair but the overall health & hydration of my hair. This product is super concentrated and provides great slip thus cost saving. It instantly melts hair tangles like butter, nourishes, repairs, improves and restores the hair's elasticity, luster, manageability & curl/coil defintion all while protecting the hair against breakage. I've been using this hair treatment in place of a regular hair conditioner following the matching scalp clarifier & hydrating shampoo for 16 mos now and will continue to keep this product in my arsenal for many years to come as there's a sense of peace & contentment in not having to look any further than Mo Knows Hair Treatment Trifecta/Twistout Bundle Collection for healthy hydrated hair.
This elasticity restoring treatment is the best, it's so great that even my husband loves using it for his curls! So now I need to purchase two jars at a time. But this is the only thing that worked in repairing my hair after coming out of braids. Using this product with the rest of her products is a complete game charger!
I saw an immediate difference after using Mo knows hair, Elasticity Restoring Treatment. My curls looked more bouncy, juicy, and defined right away. As someone with color-treated hair, I was especially impressed with the luster and softness it gave my curls without weighing them down.
This treatment truly brought my curls back to life, and I can already tell it’s helping restore elasticity and overall health. I will definitely be reordering and adding this to my regular curl care routine.
Thank you so much, Mo I absolutely love this product! 💫
The smell is absolutely amazing I love that it stays even after rinsing.My hair feels somewhat moisturized after taking it out of the cap. I believe my consistency will help that issue.
Worth every penny. That’s all I need to say.
I love the elasticity deep conditioner. This is the second time I purchase it. It works good in my hair.
I have fine, low-density hair. My hair is silver-gray and I am enjoying the texture of it. I've used the Elasticity Restoring Treatment twice. It is a bit thick for my strands but still it works well. When parting my hair down the middle, I only need a half-dollar coin size for each side of my head. As I tell my middle school students, "KEEP GOING!"
I love this conditioner! Finally found something that leaves my hair soft after washing.
This is a top tier hair treatment, and it is clear a lot of thought and work went into it. I appreciate the formulation, especially the amodimethicone and Schinziophyton rautanenii kernel oil. Thank you for skipping basic dimethicone and going for the gold standard.
The texture is thick like a balm, which is great for preventing slippage and leakage, yet it melts into the hair on application. I honestly wondered what sorcery this was! I can travel with it without worrying about it leaking in my bag. It also does not sit on top of my hair, and it makes detangling so much easier.
Please do not change the formulation unless it is to make it even better. You did a great job, and I am praying for your brand to flourish. One day I hope to sit in your salon chair and have you do my hair. I am looking forward to the mousse you have coming out!
Thank you so much for this feedback and I am glad you appreciate all the thought, love and work that went into this! -Mo
This product, along with the smoothing pudding, the hydrating shampoo, the gel, and the styling potion all came with loose seals. They did not leak at all but I think it may be a manufacturing issue since it was multiple products.
You really don't need to use a lot of this product to see the benefits! I was shocked when I used this product after the scalp clarifier and ultimate hydrating shampoo. I watched most of Mo's videos to see how to wash my hair properly and these products definitely lived up to the clients' reactions in the videos.
My hair felt soft and silky with this treatment. I didn't struggle at all when brushing through my hair. With other detangling products I'm usually combing my hair out for 45 minutes or longer. With this treatment, maybe 5 minutes at most. Literally witchcraft! Amazing product.
I have coily, mid-shoulder length hair.
