I was wondering the same thing.

I didn't get a pop up window when I went to the site.

This stuff is the BOMB! I attended church on Sunday, and there was no air conditioner. I live in Dallas Texas, so it was about 99 degrees. I am natural and I straighten my hair. I had no reversion. All of my curls fell, but my hair did not revert. I was got caught in the rain yesterday, my curls fell, but my hair is still straight. This is GOD-SENT. :notworthy

I didn't either, but I emailed them and told them we had been talking about it seriously on LHCF and they were happy to send samples (and Sabino himself was answering all my personal questions and emails)

Wow, that sounds AMAZING that it held up so well!!!!

I got my free samples in the mail today. *doing cabbage patch*

I will probably test them out at some point this weekend.

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).

Woops, I forgot the step where I added some Giovanni Direct leave-in conditioner. Yes, I have used Silicon Mix many times. But I don't think I ever used it and then used my Chi iron, that is why I think that I need to use a different conditioner when I try the sabino again.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I ordered mine nearly 2 weeks ago.

Has anyone ordered from overseas and how long did it take?

Hurry up and take one for the team! I got my samples, but you go first so you can let a sister know. It doesn't make sense for both of our hair to become damaged. j/k

Okay, thanks!

I will definitely shoot them an email!

No problem. My leave in is a pure conditioner, not a leave-in conditioner. It's thicker. It's the one from shescentit.com avocado conditioner. I think any conditioner will do but I prefer moisturizing conditioner for this last step (one without protein). I take a couple quarter size amounts (depending on length and thickness) and apply it like a leave in. My hair comes out soft and smooth! Most definitely it feels moisturized. Which ever conditioner you find, you might want to use it as a leave in (instead of or with your Giovanni Direct leave-in)

How 'bout the Post Office took my samples out of my envelope? There was a small slit in the envelope and the little plastic bag had been neatly cut at the bottom.erplexed I guess they thought I was distributing/receiving crack via US postal Service....

but they did still send me the envelope, flyer and small plastic bag the vials were originally in... WTH?

One of my plastic packets was slit,too. But, I still had both vials.

Last night I henna'd/2 CW/Used Alter Ego as DC & leave in/MB then blow dried/flat iron....I wrapped hair over night. My hair is not as straight as I'd like....but I did use a cheapie flat iron...I need to invest in a good (hot ) flat iron....anyway I bumped the ends which lasted for 5 minutes . It's still straight but( I can feel my roots sweatin') but it will not hold a curl. I think I will get better results if I rollerset first then flat iron.

I did notice my hair feels "heavier" than normal. I can actually feel the weight of my hair on my head. My hair usually feels feather light as it is thin & fine.

'Nother question:

The directions say to flat iron at 400 degrees... Well, what if your flat iron only has number settings and not degree settings. I have a maxiglide, by the way. How far do you think I should turn it up?

 

[FindingMe]

Oh shyt!!!!

Wow..........

...exactly...

maybe it postal procedure...mine came in a letter envelope, maybe that was it? dunno...i guess they wanted to see exactly what it was before distributing through the mail...we are living with terrorist threats....i guess it's no worse than taking off your shoes at the airport and putting your "no more than 3oz" liquids in a ziploc...erplexed

I sent Sabino a email on Friday night and my samples came on Tuesday. I'm planning on using sample on Saturday . . . I can't wait.

i used GD followed with MB then banded my hair and half air-dried/half bonnet dried and it came out great. nice and soft and very moisturized.

I couldn't wait to try it out. My review: Well, let's just say that I'm about to order a full size now. I have never experienced anything like this... My hair is straight, swingy, and feels uber moisturized. This is after a blow dry + flat iron.

What I did: I've been sporting a WnG, so I cowashed with Suave Humectant, detangled with my Denman brush to get rid of a few days worth of shed hair, and to prepare for the blow dry I left in a couple of squirts of Suave Humectant. Afterwards, I followed the instructions and applied the first vial throughout the length of my hair.

I started blowdrying and realized how straight my hair had gotten already and it had a silky feel to it. That never happens. I think someone mentioned that their hair dried faster with SMB. I noticed that too.

I used most of the second vial of SMB to apply to my roots (those tend to revert the quickest ) before I went through with my Maxiglide.


I saw absolutely ZERO breakage during this process. My hair is straight and it has never felt so moisturized to the touch after heat styling. As far as I'm concerned, SMB is a keeper. Let's see what my hair looks like in the morning .

I've got lots of pics. You can check them out in my fotki. http://public.fotki.com/kiaria/super-hair-growout/year-two/sabino-moisture-blo/

Well - I did my coconut& lime treat and steam tonight..... I used all my leave ins - then took SMB and placed on the length of my hair - and I am allowing it to air dry overnight. I hope that my Flat iron comes out well in the morning.
