Just wanted to thank you JLove!!! I guess I'll be buying!

I did my relaxer today and rollerset with water, lacio, and my macadamia oil mixture. I then put almost half of a sample bottle of SBM on my wet hair and proceeded to rollerset.


Curls literally sprung back, nice and bouncy. :drunk:

Whhyyyy do you insist on mocking me with your hair:nono::nono:
Lovely as usual chica:yep:
 
okay so... i placed an order on the 21st late at night. do you know my package was here today when i got off work?

i know i said i wasn't gonna flat-iron my hair any more this year... but you know... in the name of science, i must! :lachen: plus it's raining today... this is race weekend in Indianapolis so i'm guessing we'll be busy in the pub/restaurant this weekend. let's see how well Sabino holds up in real life situations, not just my lab experiments. :yep:
 
I used this 2 weeks ago. I have taken steamy baths, been in the rain and some minor humid conditions.

Any reversion - Well, NO ... except for some fuzzy edges, all is well!

I will no another experiment with my other serum just to see is if I get the same results. Because, during the winter, I was using Shikikai/amla rinse and a different serum, as in not Sabino MB. I went out in tons of snow without and hat. I was in the rain a lot... etc. Did it revert - NO.

So, the jury is still out on this one, for me.

BTW - I am transitioning.
 
Hi ladies,
Have any of you considered buying the finisher or the volumizer. I'm thinking since it's a spray we'll get more coverage. I haven't really been able to get my application right (I'm very heavy handed) and it sometimes looks a little greasy. I can always use more volume too! What do ya'll think?

I'm a minimalist when it comes to stuff in my hair. So I didn't even give 2nd thought to the products. MB is all I need:yep:
 
After sitting here reading 31 pages, I just ordered. Forget about the samples. I can't control myself with you ladies here. The curls product looks good too but I resisted the urge.
 
I got my samples. They are so tiny. Are 2 vials enough for my mega hair? I will try them this weekend when I flat iron for the first time in years. I'm so scared. If it comes out terrible, I'm not posting any pics. :lachen:

Hey ladies, just wanted to let you know that these are the exact same 2 ingredients in Bumble & Bumble's "Defrizz" silicon serum. I have a bottle that I only used once and I don't plan to use again.
Whoever PM's me first with their mailing address can have it.:yep:

i used 1 1/2 but i did not apply the first vial in sections. a little goes a long way once you get it right apparently.

So I posted the other day after I used it...I have been bunning since then and last night I curled up under my boyfriend and fell asleep...and since guys seem to hold more heat than a kerosene heater i woke up sweating. i pushed him out of the way and immediately ran to check my hair :lachen:and even though my temples were a little fuzzy they had definitely NOT reverted all the way. a-maz-ing, i tell you...and i didn't even have to re-flatiron it. all i did was moisturize and put a scarf on and i am back to the way i was yesterday morning. that sold me...i just placed my order 10 minutes ago.

OT: how come i went to trade secret looking for this stuff (no luck obviously) and i realized that 2 liters of kenra mc are the same price as 3 oz of this stuff? highway robbery i tell ya.

It's all about the hair! :lachen:

It's good to know this worked for you! :yep:
 
I just ordered my sample. It's like 7pm and they are still picking up the phone??? I was so not expecting that. I can not wait to try this stuff.
 
I forgot I'd received the samples (the life of a PJ) until today. I washed and colored today and opened the envelope and there were two lil crack vials in separate baggies of this product. I used 1 whole and about 1/4 of the 2nd bottle. I flat ironed earlier and then was outside for about 7 hours which usually equals frizz city for me. I came home a lil while ago only to find my hair frizzless. It's cool! I just don't know if I can bring myself to pay for the full size bottle...
 
...and i said i wasn't going to buy anything else this summer...:rolleyes:


anhywhoo- i wrote sabino and asked some questions and he wrote me back...i gotta love this guy...here's what he said (my questions are in black, his answers in red):

Hi, I was talking with some friends about Moisture Block on the Long Hair Care Forum and I am currently transitioning from relaxed hair to natural hair. My hair has a tight penspring coil naturally (4a some 3c in crown and sides, if you are familiar with the terminology) and is very coarse and usually dry. I have to really focus on moisturizing my hair to keep it healthy. Here is the problem … you have dry hair but you moisturize it to keep it healthy. If moisturizers truly worked, your hair wouldn’t be dry. Moisturizers dissipate in dry climates and dilute in humidity, which is due to their water solubility. Your hair feels dry because you filling it up with moisturizers. Moisturizers attract more moisture and excess moisture creates frizz and the cream of the moisturizer (like conditioners) settles on the hair eventually making your hair look opaque. I do not recommend moisturizers for hair and never use them on any of my clients and we are in a dry climate, Scottsdale, AZ. Conditioners and moisturizers only hold “on” the hair for 2 to 3 hours. Notice that I stated the word “ON”. Hair is dead and can not be repaired so conditioners do not attach to the hair for any longer than stated above.

Hair is like a sponge setting on a sink full of water without being squeezed dry. If it sets there for a while, eventually it dries out and turns hard like cardboard. This is due to the sponge (like hair) only holding so much moisture and not having a blocker (waterproof barrier) to avoid the moisture draining out. Now, take that same sponge and squeeze it until it is still moist yet not over loaded with water. This is the sponge’s perfect moisture content. Hair has a perfect moisture content also of 10 to 11%, any more than that and it is overloaded and adding more moisture is overkill. Cover the sponge with a waterproof barrier after you squeeze out the excess moisture. This is the same as towel drying your hair with a micro fiber towel. Let the sponge set there and you will notice that the sponge will retain its moisture content for a very long period of time. Now that you have put a waterproof barrier on that sponge, just like your hair, it will not only lock in the essential moisture in your hair from shampoo to shampoo but it will also lock in the essential proteins from the conditioner allowing your hair to utilize the proteins as a supportive link. Moisture Block also blocks out excess moisture (humidity), again, which causes frizz. So, apply a conditioner and then apply Moisture Block over your hair when towel dried.

I was wondering if you have any tips for using moisture block (or maybe there is something else I should use, C4CH?) to style and manage my hair with the 2 different textures. I usually roller-set my hair and flat-iron/straighten the roots for a smooth look, but will also wear my hair more curly (air dry/diffuser from wet) when it is completely natural. There is no need to roller set with Moisture Block but if you like taking the time to do so, by all means continue. If you want to save time, either let your hair dry naturally or messy blow it dry without a round brush. Apply a little more MB, when your hair has dried, and flat iron directly over the frizzy curls and watch the magic. A count of 3 at the roots and a count of 8 through the rest of the hair shaft through the ends. Do not hold the flat iron on the ends. The slower you go through the hair, the better and faster it will smooth out. The smoke coming from your hair is not your hair burning but Moisture Block going deeper into the hair shaft while protecting your hair from heat and excess humidity. After flat ironing, if humidity is high, rake more MB through your hair with your fingers and brush. The next day it’s not necessary to flat iron again.

If you want to let your hair dry naturally, again, it’s not necessary to use what you have used. Watch these two videos. They will answer your questions on usage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isJdinbiYGQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3COcodywBA8
I was also told that there might be samples still available for ladies that are interested in the product from LHCF and still wanted to try. If you haven’t received samples then contact [email protected] to order.

HTH someone else maybe thinking about this product or who's gotten it already...:grin:

Ha! Finally, someone who agrees with me! I've been thinking for the past several months that "moisturizers" and "moisturizing" was totally over-rated, that none of this stuff truly moisturized but just sat on the hair either making it oily, coated, or if you were really lucky, a bit more supple for a day or two. I also don't think oils seal in moisture, they are not really waterproof. Probably the best one for that is the one that hair care boards hate, mineral oil. But on black hair care boards it's pretty much sacrilege to say such a thing about "moisturizers". I totally believe him.

so, I applied nearly a full vial on my towel dried hair today going section by section. I blow dried. By the time I got done with that, I was so tired I was not interested in flat ironing. Besides, I had a gorgeous afro and wanted to enjoy it for a while (see avi). You think if I wait 2 or 3 days I'll have to reapply?

Your afro is gorgeous!!:luv2:

He kinda got me, too, with the whole moisturizer spiel and then he talked about the sponge and i was like, "that makes sense...":yep: Anywhoo, I think if your hair doesn't get wet, you shouldn't have to reapply, and if you do, it should be a minimal amt, like significantly less than you normally would...
 
Got my samples earlier today and couldn't wait to try it. I applied my leave-in and some Aveda Hang Straight and then proceeded to blow dry. Once I was done I applied the SMB in 4 sections (using about a quarter sized amount) and then flat ironed with my maxiglide (no teeth). I began one side of my head with the setting on 6 but turned it to 8 on the opposite side. The side that I used higher heat on looks better but my whole head is still frizz free over 8 hours later! I have never gone this long with straight hair and still enjoyed it. I usually am rocking a ponytail about 3 hours after flat ironing. I think I'm sold:yep: I'm going to monitor my hair for the next couple of days though before I buy the full size. Click here for the pics.
 
Hmm... I got my samples and used 1 1/2 of the vials - I got great results, and when I went to Louisiana my hair didn't revert AT ALL. My roots got alittle curly, but I think it's b/c I didn't coat them with MB like the rest of my hair..

I saw the address on my samples, but didn't realize they were based in Scottsdale, AZ -- that's literally a 15-20 drive from me! I wonder if he has a salon where they use Sabino products..? I might have to check that out! :lick:
 
My samples are also on the way and I can totally under Sabino's lesson when it comes to moisture b/c I thought I just had the driest hair EVER b/c no matter what leave-in I use it doesn't work. Oils seem to end up running down my face somehow even if I do not apply to hairline. It just does! STRANGE! Plus it always sat on my hair, even if applied wet, and when it dried my hair would be oil shiny but hard. Strangest thing. I always wanted something to penetrate.

I am going to try SMB as a leave-in when I air dry and with my falt iron (Maxiglide) and see how it does.
 
Yeah so...I need a gallon of this. I want this to be the leave in after the leave in to lock in the first leave in...

did it take you a longer time to blow dry than normal? (i don't know if you even blow dry enough to notice... :look: ) MB cut my drying time SIGNIFICANTLY. i was really surprised, that's the first thing that really made me think they weren't just blowing smoke. :yep:

ITA with what they said about hair being like a sponge... ESPECIALLY mine. my hair is moisture-hungry, and that's one reason i add honey to my conditioner. something about honey draws moisture out of the air constantly and it keeps my hair from getting dry and frizzy. also ladykpnyc said it in one of her vids, certain things work better on dry hair because of that sponge-like behavior hair has. that's why so many of us benefit from pre-poos. :yep:

I think back in the thread others and I talked about the amount of product, ratio, is what makes sabino so good. Sabino was compared via video to another product with the same stuff, and turns out sabino came out on tops. I've never tried bumble bumble. I'll stick with my sabino but I'm sure someone here will love to take you up on it!
