WOW.... Sabino Moisture Block video on YouTube

bumping so I can read later on.

 

[anon123]

did you air dry your hair?

No, blow dried 2 days before which gave me the afro in my avi.

No, blow dried 2 days before which gave me the afro in my avi.

Looks like a big beautiful blow out to me mwedzi.

if you were looking for that re.laxed look (shhhh....), i might be the technique you used, not high enough heat or that particular flatiron.

i like it!!

now, what i'm thinking is that you won't get the typical shrinkage that you'd normally get.

 

[FindingMe]

So, I flat ironed today. Ummm, I don't think we'll be able to tell if this Moisture Block is going to help with reversion because my "straightened" hair came out like this:



And I promise you 10 times over, this picture does not fully convey the HUGENESS of my hair. It is bigger than my head. It rests near the outside of my shoulders, so put your hands there and see what I mean. I can't remember the last time I saw anybody walking around with hair this big, or if I ever have. Is this a taste of what it's like to be Lynnie on a regular basis? So, yeah, not actually straight. I was sure if I got an expensive fancy flat iron it would work. I blow dried with the MB 2 days ago and enjoyed my blow out afro, which was not as big as this. This morning I spent 2 HOURS (!!!) flat ironing small section by small section. I got a Solia and flat ironed on 370. I actually applied Chi Silk Infusion to each section, too. Maybe it wasn't hot enough, maybe there's too much heat protectant, but then again, I've never been able to get my hair straight with a flat iron. Ah well. I'll just tell myself "big hair is sexy"

well, whatever you did it came out FABULOUS!!! Girl, that's some beautiful herr right therr!!!

Maybe you should have skipped the Chi Silk Infusion and just used the MB on the hair to get a true test. Maybe the two counter each other in a way that's not as effective? Also, he said to turn the iron up to at least 400. I know that's a lot of heat, but maybe you could do it on a small test section to see if it damages your hair? IDK

My gosh! I hope you don't straighten your hair often because you'd have hell trying to get that hair looking straight.erplexed


But, hey! Thats a good thing.

If Sabino works on all that hair you have then its a grade-A product.

*jaw drops to the floor*

you are not my friend anymore







okay i'm over the jealousy now. good googly-moogly that is gorgeous though. i do think your hair just doesn't like flat irons... but i don't wanna press you to hot comb it (look at that, made a pun ) because they scare me... i'd hate for you to damage that lovely mane.

definitely let me know how your hair style holds up to shrinkage... if it works well for you i'm doing a blowout and stealing your look

Big hair is sexy. However, you don't need Chi. chi is getting in the way of the MB. Just apply the MB as a heat protectant. Make sure to concentrate on roots and ends, and distribute it through with a denman brush, or other means. Then press each section. I have big hair (not as big as yours but big notheless and it totally looks relaxed with the MB). Don't give up. It takes time for some of us to get the right combo. As thick as your hair is I'm thinking more MB, no Chi. Also if you wanna rock a Diana, rock a Diana!

Make sure if you're using higher heat to really distribute the MB from roots to ends so it can protect it. I've been checking my ends as I flat iron once a week and they're just like usual, with no split ends. I dc every week so that may be why too, but I also believe the sabino is really protecting it. Also make sure to concentrate MB at the ends too for added protection like I do. Most of my mb is at the ends and roots, and then a little more throughout hair, then I use my denman to distribute it. Tip: I always have more at roots and ends though. By the way I'm also a natural.

Thanks everybody. (LL and FM, stop it! ) I do still like the result. Someone followed me in her car in the supermarket parking lot today to ask what I use on my hair. I didn't really know what to tell her, but once I said flat iron she seemed to understand a bit more.

Thanks Luckiest, Bravenewgirl and FindingMe. Next time I will just try the Moisture Block. I'm ready to buy it just from what he said about the whole moisturizer thing. I'm afraid to go hotter, though. I already saw a little smoke, smoke scares me. But if I want to add more MB, I'll definitely have to buy it because I used basically a whole sample vial on just this.

I should say that when I did it before with just oil (pre hair care boards, so probably mineral oil) and with a cheap iron, it came out just the same.

Lynnie, I didn't want the relaxed look exactly, but like a light press. But LL, you're right, a real press with a pressing comb will get it straight. But I can't take the hot comb any more. It hurts sooooo much. It's like torture. :whipped::sandm: (yes! I finally get to use those smileys!)

I'm keeping it banded each night so we'll see. I don't recall ever having a problem with reversion when I got my hair pressed, but that was when I was essentially living in a desert. Summer time in Chicago is different. I really hope it can last for the week.

ok ladies, I think we need some experiments for some wash n go's. When I wash n go, I usually use like 7-8 products on my hair. I wash or cowash, condition, use a liquid leave in for detangling, sometimes a spray leave in, use a creamy leave in to moisturize, use a anti frizz, then seal with some oil, sometimes add a little gel. Now if I only have to use 3-4 this will be a blessing for my wallet.

Is he suggesting we wash, condition, mb, air dry and thats it? or wash, condition, leave in, mb, air dry?

I'd say you could still do your leave in and creamy leave in (he just wants it replaced with a conditioner) you wouldn't need an anti frizz or oil if you don't want as MB could seal everything. I still do my own version I emailed him and he was okay with it.
I wash, condition (sometimes oil rinse before condition), dc, and then rinse. Then I leave a moisturizing conditioner (not leave in pure conditioner) in my hair and brush from root to tip with denman (after detangling first w/ comb) to distribute conditioner. I sometimes add a little amla and olive creme (dime size) and coconut oil (tiny), then I apply my Moisture Block. It will lock in all moisture until the next wash.

What he really suggests is this: wash (condition like you usually do), then leave in some of your conditioner and apply moisture block to lock it in.

Either way you don't need anti frizz as the product gets rid of frizz, protects from reversion, and protects from heat. (I don't know how you dry)

Also let go of the gel.

dang girl that is not wash and go! i think MB will definitely help you out, just let it lock in whatever moisturizer you like and airdry or blowdry.

 

[MissRissa]

LOL its really not as intricate as it seems and it only takes a couple of minutes to comb all that through. but between my staples and my pjism, i mean i need a part time just to afford my products. Plus thats build up galore so I have to clarify every 2 weeks.

 

[Nita81]

I used 1 of my samples yesterday. I applied MB to dry hair after using my moisturizers to seal in. Then I used my flatiron(temp 320). I saw a little smoke(never witnessed smoke at this temp before). It was humid today and my hair DID NOT revert!!!! I'm very pleased...I'm waiting on my full sized bottle this week.

 

[jenteel]

i went back and read your post, okay really it's not as bad as it sounded the first time. but i know what you mean about the price of those products adding up... if i was to buy all the stuff i really want i'd need to be working a 3rd job!

 

[IntoMyhair]

This stuff is a keeper i want some more. I used it on my daughters flat iron for her party saturday. She sweats beads of sweat every night. No reversion. On monday we went to Sixflags her hair got soaked. She went on that boot ride that splashes the people on the bridge and soaks the people in the boat. NO No reversion at all. I also used it on my hair and it was just as good though i did not get wet.

is your daughter natural? i'm jealous, my hair goes back to coily when i get it wet. erplexed but it doesn't shrink as much with the MB on it.

 

[Eisani]

I just double-checked the price, and it's not as bad as I thought. I don't know where I got $38 for 3 oz. from. Maybe something else I was looking at. Anyhoo, I need to order today since my buy nothing challenge starts on Sunday. I still can't believe the results. I'm seriously going to have to force myself to CW in the a.m. Water hasn't touched my hair since Saturday . The 3rd pic in my siggy was taken 2 days after using SMB and being outside 3 days in a row in high humidity.

 

[JustKiya]

Interesting....... I'm wondering, since it seems to reduce shrinkage - that might be a fabulous way for me to keep my ends untangled - hrrrm. I might need to scoop up a free sample, I think.

Yes girl she is now 5 years old. I have pics in my fotki of her hair after i have washed it. It is shrink city.

okay i am MAD cuz her hair looks like mine and yet hers didn't revert when wet! her hair doesn't look quite as thick as mine, so i dunno. maybe her strands aren't as thick and resistant as mine or something.

she's a cutie though! keep up the good work on her hair mama!

Thank you i will try my best. lol i almost don't want to wash it. It's in 1 ponytail that still looks good. I could never get her hair to look neat in 1 ponytail. There are no frizzy edges or anything. To bad i have to wash it . She does have fly aways. Back to reality

My Aunt gave me a full size bottle of Sabino.

I haven't flat ironed since October but I was so excited I decided to use the Sabino.

**I didn't like it**

I will give it one more try though. Here's what I did.

I clarified and DC'd with Silicon Mix.

Added some sabino on my wet hair and lightly blow dried my hair. and trimmed an inch.
Then I added some sabino as I flat ironed with my Chi iron.

My hair looks shiny and yes it did get straight but, it doesn't feel silky at all, it feels stiff and tangley. It also reverted right away when I washed my face. I think I like Chi Silk better. But I will definitely give Sabino one more try before I make a final decision.

uh yeah! That's my favorite part. I didn't think about that until you mentioned it but my ends stay straight and shiny and frizz free and untangled. As I'm a natural, I'm not having any knotting issues.

smoke is from product, which is why you never saw smoke before at that temperature. I think it's somewhere in this thread, in one of the replys that people posted from Victor sabino.

You didn't seem to leave in any conditioner. Victor sabino even says to do that. You leave in some of your conditioner, and distribute it through the hair, then apply moisture block. Also have you used silicon mix before? I bought some and I think it has mineral oil in it. I'll have to check, but I am not a fan of mineral. Either way, just adding some moisturizing (non protein conditioner) to your hair and leaving it in (as per his instructions in the three page manual) should make it feel better. Focus Sabino on roots (so they won't revert) and ends. Then a little more throughout, then brush through to distribute evenly w/ a denman (or some similar item for distributing).

 

[CurleeDST]

I received my product and tried it on my natural hair. I co-washed my hair today and then applied some leave-in. I then let the water soak up the excess and then applied Sabino MB. My hair is very soft even after getting dry. My hair was fluffy as I let it air dry. My curls were not clumped together and I would consider my hair frizzy b/c it was big and fluffy. But it was shiny and soft and normally by the end of the day - my hair is a little crunchy whether I use product or not bc of the moisture evaporation.

I can't wait to try this stuff on a blow dry and flat iron. I am just being lazy and a wee bit tired to try it at this time but maybe this weekend.
