I have used this for years just now and again to tame my frizzy hair and am stunned to see it now costs about £24 . I am looking for a substitute but it has to be for use on dry hair . Any ideas are welcome .

I’ve managed to order quite a few tubes of vitapointe from Australia. Had to wait a few weeks for it to arrive but I’m going to be listing it on eBay. I’d used vitapointe for 30plus years and after it was no longer produced in this country i struggled to find anything that came close, or smelt as nice!!!!! Anyway I will be listing it after Xmas so hopefully you should find it on there

I think the OP has probably found something by now.

Vitasoft by Superdrug is absolutely no substitute for Vitapointe! I have spent a fortune trying to find a similar hair cream, to no avail. I tried Vitasoft but it is thin and watery whereas Vitapointe is quite thick, but it has kept my hair in immaculate condition for over 60 years. I dread to think what I will use when I finish my final tub (I bought 3 tubs from Amazon when they cost £25 but old stock is now a silly price)

Vitasoft nothing like Vitapointe I can vouch for this. I would love to find a conditioning cream for dry hair with beeswax in it ~ any advice?
