Man I want to use this on a dominican blow out so badly. I don't know if it should be applied before the rollerset or after, or both. Plus I don't really know how to convey its use to them so they'll understand.

My 2nd time using it and i am very disappointed.

I think i may have used too much on my damp hair. I then rollerset and then once dry i applied a moisturiser and then sealed with the Sabino again (way too much product i think) and then flat ironed.

..............anyway i wore my hair down to a night club - something i never do - lawd have mercy on me - its a good thing i bought an arsenal of hair clips and hair band with me cus i looked like a scarecrow.

My hair had sweated out so much and it felt and looked like straw.

The Sabino def did not block out moisture.

I will try it again my with a small amount and no layering with moisturiser.

That does sound disappointing. It's taking me some time to get the balance of how much to use. I've only used it on damp hair though.

It does seem weird to me that your hair sweated out and felt straw-like. :perplexed

I've only applied before on damp hair.

Girl, get to one of those english-spanish translation websites and work it out! :lachen:

Hi. The problem is that i sweat from my head - i was hoping Sabino would be the answer. I'm trying again tonight but will put in a lot less.

I tried it last week but I think I used too much. My hair was heavy and not much movement. I think I will try it on dry hair next time, after I blow dry - before I flat iron. :

See, this is me right here. I think it may have worked a little TOO well for me. I put it on damp hair before blow drying (after leave in and oils), then flat ironed, and my hair barely looked like I did anything too it. It definitely looked smoother and more stretched out. I have very kinky medium/coarse texlaxed hair that basically looks natural, and it just looked like I got a blow out:nono:. I've never had this problem before flat ironing, and I am usually able to get it very straight.

May I also add, that I used my Solia at 400 degrees-- the highest setting I ever used because the MB directions say to do so, and because of my six months worth of new growth; and it still didn't look as sleek as what I've gotten away with at 325-375. So either this Moisture Block REALLY coated my strands, or the new growth changed my whole look. I'll have to try it without MB next time I straighten to make sure.

I do, too - so I made sure to cover the roots (and ends), but my hair did feel heavy (Which I actually liked and my curls held, so that worked for me) and just a little greasy, just a little. I think I put in too much, it seems like you need a whole lot more than you actually do. For those trying it for the first time, I would recommend using no more than like a nickel sized dallop in your hand for like APL length hair. Doesn't seem like much, but it goes a long way...

I am also trying to figure out what to use underneath as a leave-in. Last time I use OJON reviatlizing mist as a moisturizing spray leave-in under the SMB and it seemed to work well. :yep: (Those are the only two things I used for the roller set) Maybe a light spray will work better than a cream leave-in, less heavy, etc. IDK...

Put on less, but no moisturizer! That will unlock the product. Wash, condition, dc, leave a little conditioner in!!!HE even says to do that (Sabino) Then apply moisture block. Focus on the roots as you sweat a lot. I know I do so I make sure to part my head and put it there! Then I put some on my ends, and the rest of my hair, and then I distribute it with my denman. You really need something to evenly distribute it or you will have areas that puff and areas that don't. You don't want that. You want it to all be frizz free.

Look at page 8 or 9 of this thread for my results. I roller set mine and then flat ironed. I put it on before roller set, and after before I flat iron. I think that's why mine stays so well. I was sick this past week and even on day 13 I don't have any frizz. I am mad at myself for going so long, but the stuff works and I've been so sick that I didn't wash my hair. I usually do it every week, this time it has to be two weeks, not something I'll do often, but this stuff works if you do it right. Concentrate on getting it at the ROOT. And I mean it the root like a couple inches of pure mB before you even denman. Part your hair, and place a tiny amount there. I rub it on my finger to spread it out, before doing that. Then put some on your ends. Then throughout the hair, just a little, then use the denman to distribute it. That is the best way to make sure you get enough on in my opinion. Other people have other ideas that can help you too, so make sure to search the thread. It may time to get it right but it's well worth it.
 
I mean it would be easier if I were doing it but they are the ones that apply all the product and besides this being a "trial and error" product, there is also the language barrier. The ladies' english at the shop I go to is on "E". I won't be doing the blowout myself.

Head sweating is a curse isn't it?

I use Keracare leave-in and then add the Sabino on top. I then have to spray lightly with water as i rollerset so that the ends are smooth. ....i wonder if the spraying is diluting the Sabino?
 
I used mine last night. UUGGHH:wallbash: My hair feels heavy and stiff. I wonder if it was that I left too much conditioner in my wet hair. Or if I applied too much MB. I tried to use a little but I did get it on all my hair. Or was it that I added Olive Oil Moisturizer before adding MB and flatironing. I am disappointed but i do know that it works. I just haven't found out what I did wrong. I will have to experiment, during my next session pass of the LHCF Bootcamp.

I hope my hair reverts back after I wash it next week.

When I get home, I'm going to flatironing again. Will try to post pictures over the weekend.

I'm doing trial #2 with SMB this week. I'm headed on a plane tomorrow to FL so we'll see what happens. It summer time and the humidity stays almost near 100%.

Well, today, I washed, DC'd with Mizani Moisturefuse, applied SMB, and let my hair dry under my bonnet dryer in big twists. I have a fierce twistout going on now. I didn't even want to straighten after I removed the twists. I will probably straighten tomorrow or Monday after I get to FL.

Me too, I tried it once, but my results were not good. I am going to read through this thread again and watch the video to see what I am doing wrong. I may have used too much product? I really want this to work, my hair is a poofy mess with all this humidity and rain.

This happened to me as well, I worked out for about an hour and my hair looked and felt like straw. I was sooo disappointed.

Also, I lost my order form that had a website on it to go to about the product. Does anyone know if that website was the same youtube one in this thread?

If it is somebody put a wammy on me because when I sweat in my head, my son does too bless his heart! On a positive note, we have good scalp circulation :grin:

...like none other...:ohwell: Maybe the spray is diluting or messing with the consistency in some form...I actually didn't do my hair sopping wet with the rollerset in the previous pics and basically didn't use a spray bottle after the Sabino. I just bantu'd up the parts that I wasn't working with to retain the moisture, but that was it. Another bonus, when I did that, it took less time to dry bc I air-dried...:yep:

I really think just using too much is what is causing the issues. My hair was heavy, but not stiff. It was a little oily, with no reversion, so I even think I used too much...maybe a dime sized squirt for my whole head is what I'll try next...if that's the case, the product is the bomb, bc it will last for a year+ for $21! :lachen:

www.gotfrizz.com is what I used..

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 :blush:. The 3rd pic in my siggy was taken 2 days after using SMB and being outside 3 days in a row in high humidity.

Done! Ordered my samples and tyring to justify going over budget for the large bottle.

I am going to email him now and ask for some pointers/tips. I used it again this morning(about a quarter size) for my wash n go and my hair is definitely frizzing up. I like the bigness and fullness of it, but it's the same result I would have gotten w/o the SMB. Thanks for the advice ladies!
