WOW.... Sabino Moisture Block video on YouTube

[fuchsiastar]

Just ordered my samples...I'm gonna try it out in this GA heat for the summer. I will keep ya'll posted. I have natural hair, so I will apply it before blow dry, and then flat iron on a low setting and see what happens.

Sorry, those are silicones. But don't be afraid. cones, used in moderation, are OK for your hair. Well, at least mine anyways. I know some folks shy away from them.

Thanks - I am not too afraid of cones. I dont use them frequently at all.

I learned from the article I posted yesterday about Sabino and silicones, that these cones will wash out of the hair with regular shampoo--one does not have to clarify. The best way to find out is to try a sample and hear back from some of the ladies here who have used Sabino for years.

Exactly what they told me on the phone is that it washed out with shampoo, no clarification necessary. Like I wrote before it took them two years to develop it and it is patent pending because there is nothing like it on the market. From what I was told by the owner, Victor Sabino (by phone), both cones are used together in such a way as to make this possible, and keep your hair protected. Also unlike inferior cones, which is all that exists in the market, it is not mixed with other things that can damage your hair and make it hard to wash out. So that's what I was told. I'm excited, but I'll keep ya'll updated on the product.

If his product truly works in a healthy way to prevent frizz and reversion from humidity on all hair types and allow all hair to stay moisturized, this really is exciting.

Lala said she's been using this for quite a while now. I use Aveda Anti-Humectant but it isn't 100% effective. I want something that works in the most humid places on Earth, like the jungles of the Amazon.

ETA: I would have tried Sabino by now but I keep forgetting about it. There doesn't appear to be many ladies here who use it. Also, the styles are with Sabino are usually straight hair styles rather than rollersets. Does this mean it removes all curl? :scratchch

That's right and my Mom uses it on her natural hair. It's a great product and when added to wet hair it actually helps with detangling. I lived in Ohio where it rains almost every week and my hair always looked good compared to those who didn't use Moisture Block. It is sold at the salon where my Mom works and is something that most AA's wouldn't even consider for our textured hair types.

I purchased this last year . It does work, I had to figure out the right amount to use for my hair. I need to find it, the air here is starting to get funky.

Thank you Lala for continuing to inform us about your successes using this product and inspiring us with your beautiful hair! Sabino helping with detangling on wet hair is a plus.

Nikii--were you using it on your wet hair?

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Detangling too? I wish this product would hurry up and get here. I am ready to post pics for yall on how it holds up!!!!! From what I heard, you have to find out the right amount to use, but after that it's on! He sent me all these links to show us how to properly apply the product. He said he would. Poor guy, I probably asked him so many questions, and still he was so nice. I thought he was just saying that to be nice, but then he took down my email address, and actually followed up by sending them. Here's the links if you want to find out more. Like how to apply products step by step and stuff like that.

Wow! Thank you Luckiestdestiny!

 

[Isis]

I'm natural and I use it while the hair is wet before rollersetting or blowdrying and just a dab after I've flat ironed. YOu can purchase it online, but if you go to sabino.com, they are giving free samples.

Thank you JLove74 for the info and for starting this thread.

Why did I just buy this and paid for next day shipping (moving to NC on Monday wanted to make sure I had in time and looking fabulous when I get there!) I sweat so bad in the summer hell all year long. I really hope this keeps my NG at bay. If it does it's the answer to my prayers. If not I'll just take it as a loss with some of the other products I've experimented with!!!

Nikii--were you using it on your wet hair?

Yes I was using it on wet hair.

 

[kellylinn77]

Bump...Anyone else using this and care to share their experience. Gonna test it out 2morrow. I was thinking after I wash and DC, apply it to wet hair and wrap it. Sit under dryer and flat iron(how does this sound)? I'm dealing with some major NG that I don't want to revert in an hour.

 

[ajargon02]

Maybe it's just me, but it looked like that product was really heavy and greasy, that's so not something that would even think about putting in my hair!!!

 

[luckiestdestiny]

I am going to try it this weekend, and then do follow ups and post my results. How long does it last. Goodie, it's raining this weekend (I'm visiting my mom in Ky). How long will it hold up? I can't wait. Stay tuned for pics!!!!

I tried my free sample on my already styled hair and so far, it works!
It was a warm but rainy day today, perfect for testing. No greasy feel or look (there's isn't any grease anyway) and my hair and my rollerset ends look smooth after standing outside, under an umbrella (didn't want wet hair) for a while. I also drove with the window down, letting all that humidity get to my hair.

I want to apply this to wet hair like you planned to do Kellylinn. Did you do it?

 

[Bint Yusef]

How are you all getting free samples? I didnt see any link on the site.

You can call and ask for some free samples.

Ohhh okay. Thank you Isis.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Make sure you say you heard about it on our forum. I emailed the owner and am trying to work on them for a discount. The more of us that are interested in their product, maybe when it comes time for ordering the whole product (if we like it), a discount could be worked out? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I am using the product this Sunday. I bought the whole thing as I was so impressed when I spoke to him on the phone. (Hope I didn't jump the gun). If I like it I will post product pics for first day and for 6th day (I wash once a week and am natural), to see how well it holds up.

Remember I said earlier that I called and spoke to him? I told him I'm 4a with some 3c. He said I could apply it two ways, to wet hair and a little when dry before straightening, or to dry hair too. So check out those video links that he sent me for more info earlier in the post. I just love that Victor Sabino took the time to talk to a potential customer like myself.

 

[kellylinn77]

Alright ladies....I tried this out last night and the verdict is still out. I did like I mentioned earlier in this post. Washed, applied a leave in, and then put SMB on wet hair. I wrapped it and sat under the dryer. Once it was dry is was definately very soft and shiny. Some parts were to shiny but not greasy. I guess those were the parts that got to much SMB. So I did like he said on the video and used a my flat iron on 400erplexed. I think that was a little to high. I'm about 6 weeks post with some major NG thanks to OCT/MT. Once i finished flat ironing, my hair was very straight and silky just like a fresh relaxer. I can achieve this without the SMB. The test would be my NG. So anyway, I cleaned my house very well today and worked up a good sweat. My NG REVERTED I'm not going to give up yet becacuse the rest of my hair held up very well. I just have to figure out how to get it to the NG w/o using to much.

 

[ResultsMayVary]

Are there any other products like this that are also waterproof

In the bottle (I purchased the product), there's a little typed paper that comes with it, it says to brush it through the hair, to evenly distribute. Did you do that to the new growth? On his video it says to make sure to get it through the ends, but I'm wondering if we should also make sure to include extra in the area closest to our scalps. Yes I am all natural, but I think that is the area that is supposed to sweat, if we work out, so we need to make sure to evenly distribute it there and brush it through...use less in the rest of our hair so it's not too oily, and a lot on our ends to protect them. I'm going to work on it today, try to perfect it, and get back to y'all with a post, as I am washing my hair later on today. Let's see what happens. I know he says it takes time to get it right, so I am going to be patient and give it a chance. I'll keep ya'll posted.

 

[kellylinn77]

Gonna rewash my hair today. I'm gonna apply it to the roots and use my denman to brush it to the ends. I so want this stuff to work!!!!

You don't have to use a lot. Slathering it on is not going to make it work any better. I think everybody is looking at the size of the bottle and thinking that it's not worth the price. If I can use 1 bottle in 4-5 months time with my length, it should last longer for some of you.

I got a retouch in December and then did a texturizer on Mar. 1st and my new growth is detangled and not matted. I've been using this product for several yrs. and I will always use it. I don't have a flaky scalp or any reactions to it, and my scalp is sensitive, believe me.

I know some of you have had different results or are looking at the expense. Our hair is different, so we will all experience different results. I don't use a lot of products on my hair, so buying this product is not a huge expense for me.

I wonder if wrapping had anything to do with it. Were you able to get to your roots pretty good when you flat ironed?
