I am still waiting for my response. I sent him an e-mail too.
He's probably overloaded with 50-11 emails from this site, lol

I used the MB this weekend. Verdict, I don't like it. It made my hair feel funny, I can't describe it.
I received my samples, 2 small vials, I only used one.
I pooed and DC my hair, applied my leave in Giovanni Direct and a small bit of Hair to heaven end all. My hair was feeling supple. I applied the MB while my hair was wet, I used half of the vial. I scrunched and combed it through. Then I airdryed for a while and finished drying my hair with the blow dryer. I then sectioned my hair and applied the MB on each section, only a small bit. I flat ironed on about 400 degrees, cringing the whole time. My hair had a funny smell after I was done (i cleaned my flat iron so it wasn't dirty). I wrapped my hair for a while and then unwrapped, my hair had no movement.
I am going to try the next vial on just dry hair.... and see what happens.
I didn't take pics.

@ bolded - that may be the problem. I think putting MB on each section may be overkill, even if it;s just a little.

Well - ladies - I tried it with my Solia... I hated my solia - UNTIL now!!!!
I thought I would also try it on one section- and compare this to the AVEDA Smooth hair Prep.
I Added MB after using my leave in. Blown dry - I thought that it looked a bit different on the section than usual.
Popped on the Solia -at 450 degrees and decided to flat iron. ONE PASS - and the hair was AMAZING. I think I also used too much - I am heavy handed.... But!!!!
I sprayed the section again with Spritz - NO REVERSION. I put Qhemet Detangler - NO REVERSION.
I think that the Flat ironing process is the thing that makes this product work.
WOW.
I am stunned.this stuff is awesome. You do have to find the right amount.. that is for sure. And - Once I practice my Blow Dry Technique - I will have a wonderful SWANG - without losing hair.
Thanks JLOVE74!!!!!
BTW - the Aveda??? I am going to go get my 24 bucks back.

Jlove - Yeah that might be it... I just didn't know if it got to all of the hair
samanthajones67 - I have a solia also, and I used it at 400 degrees. Your hair is swinging? I am sooo jealous! Does your hair have a funny smell? You just used your leave in and nothing else?

I think that is does have a wierd no-smell smell...... But - I used my homemade leave in ( Water, Aloe Vera, Glycerin, etc...) And then I used the MB..... I am really amazed at this stuff. I used more on other sections and only blow dried. that hair reverted - so the stuff protects - But SEALS in with a flat iron. 450 is most likely better than 400.
My hair does not 'swing' per se, but - I am sure with a few tweaks to my method - OH yea Baby - this will be a keeper ferrrrever.
I will post pics shortly.

I cant wait to try this on a "blow out".
Here are some pics from my usage:
Freshly washed, getting ready to partial air dry. Used Giovanni leave in and sealed with Amla Gold
so, one side is in progress blow-dry, the other is before blowdrying. MB has been added at this point
after blowdry and flatironing
Thats it. No other products added.

I give Sabino MB an A+++. Sorry I don't have pics but I still hope my review helps somebody. I ordered the full-size and used it this past weekend in the following manner after my wash/DC:
applied my OCT to scalp only
applied lacio lacio to detangle
applied Elucence MBC as a leave-in
sealed with a little Vatika Oil
applied Sabino MB, combed thru and airdried slightly
used the blowdryer w/o a comb attachment to completely dry
dabbed finger in Sabino MB (very very little) and applied to each section to be flatironed
flatironed using Sedu on 320 degrees (I was a punk and couldn't go for the 400+ temp)
wrapped hair for 45mins
Result
My hair came out excellent but I think I will tweak my usage and use less next time. I would have had more swang if I used less and I think I was a little heavyhanded. I went to a party on Saturday that was HOTTT as hell and I danced and was sweating. Even though I'm relaxed/texlaxed, I'm usually a poofy frizzy mess because I sweat in my head/face ridiculously and my hair usually sticks to my skin. My hair was actually sticking to my skin and I just kept moving it out of the way and got my party on. The strange thing is my hair did not frizz at all and only the roots were SLIGHTLY puffy and that's because I'm about 7 weeks post and working with alot of ng thanks to OCT. I wrapped my hair when I got in and on Mother's Day my hair was still straight.
Monday - It was raining in NYC (humidity) and I wore my hair in a bun covered with a flexi. I was out and about with an umbrella of course, but my hair was still straight when I got in from work. I took down the bun, put a dab of Aveda USC mixed with their serum and ran it through my hair and then put it back into the bun and covered with satin scarf and bonnet for bed. I am a chronic bunner and also a no comber so I just used my hands.
Today - I spent the night at my mothers house and I think she gave me a polyester comforter and I remember sweating in my head during the night. I took down my bun to check for frizz/poofiness this AM.....NONE. I applied a lil serum and re-bunned. The weather is nice here today but my hair is still straight after partying, sweating and rain.
Sabino MB does what it says and works great on relaxed heads too!

Great Review.
This is awesome stuff. If I were relaxed I would not use 450 degrees of heat either - I understand..............

I just called and ordered my sample today. I sing in a band and I do not perspire.....I Sweat!! The owners night clubs usually turn up the heat because they know it makes the customers thirsty and they'll drink more. Add that to the heat from the stage lights and by the second set, I usually have to change my shirt from all the sweating. For me, this will be the real test. I'll be sure to post results after I receive my sample. I'm very excited after reading everyone's posts and I hope it works for me.

I just noticed those are the same ingredients that are in KeraCare silken seal. How does it compare to Silken Seal, anyone know?
Dimethicone and Cyclomethicone are the ONLY ingredients in MB. John Sabino gives a breakdown of why/how this works against frizzies. It's posted somewhere in this thread.

They are they ONLY ingredients in KeraCare Silken Seal too. (The blow-drying complex not the spray) I just wanted to know if anyone had tried both.

Haven't tried Kera Care. I know that the Sabino one it's about the amount, according to what I was told, of each ingredient. That's what causes it to work so well. So I am not sure about the other, but it's the ratio of the ingredients that makes all the difference.They are they ONLY ingredients in KeraCare Silken Seal too. (The blow-drying complex not the spray) I just wanted to know if anyone had tried both.

Yup - I don't care anymore... I am a label reading FOOL... Maxius' The End product is also only 2 of the same ingredients - But feels differently than MB.
IMO - Totally worth the 21 bucks.
Idon't spend money on other NON working pricey crap....
After what I have seen- I would not trust another product right now.
Can't wait to do my whole head.

Here is the e-mail that I got from Victor: His Responses are in red....
Hello Victor
As I am sure you are aware – Moisture Block is getting a great amount of attention on several Hair boards. I found out about your product on Long Hair Care Forum and I have your samples.
I am convinced that these tiny vials will do NOTHING for my hair…..It just does not seem like enough. And no - I have not tried it yet. I need to see how long and thick your hair is. If it's really thick those two vials will prove to be enough for one application. If your hair is shorter and not thick ... two applications. The beauty of this product is that it lasts from shampoo or no poo to shampoo or no poo.
I thought I would e-mail you with my questions and thoughts – Thank you in advance for your time.
I am graduating from College on May 21st – and I had given up the hope of wearing my hair straight – since we will be graduating outside in Southern California a 8 am.. The moisture alone would be murder to my hair in 20 minutes. If I were to purchase your product – this would be my plan:
After deep conditioning and final rinse
Frankly – I am tired of Products that don’t work. I considered a few products recently:
One is EasyStraight by Jamie Munoz( $8 )…. Water soluble, not effective The word is that this company is now steeped in litigation for the other product lines that they have released. Although there seems to be no issue with the Flat Iron Finish…I have not taken it out of the Box – for fear that my hair may pay the ultimate price. There is no silicone in this product - but petro derived chems - and lots of Polyquats..... Trust me, don't bother
The other is Aveda Smooth infusion prep style smoother($24) – Aveda products seem to be great - but – I have my doubts that – no matter the price any of these items will give me the “relaxer-straight look”without frying my hair. Again, water soluble. These types of products break down under heat
I have not tried either of these products - I am looking to test them.
I have used Beyond straight and the End by Maxius. I love the maxiglide and his product - But one must mix the products... and is does do a good job.....
I don't want good anymore. I want GREAT. MB, give it a chance
I want to go from Straight to curly and and not be worried about heat damage. I would also like to know if I ca use this product instead of a product like Lottabody for setting? Rollersetting would be great for me and would cut down on Direct heat. If you flat ironed your hair you will only torture your hair to get it curly again. Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isJdinbiYGQ Use C4CH (Curls for Curly Hair) with MB
Samantha, I love your tenacity.
Your hair is fine, which works wonders with MB. Now, for this I expect only one thing. That you stay in touch with me so I can help you through each segmant of using this product. I want you to be completely happy with MB, I know you will but like any other product, you have to use it correctly. This product is new technology so using old rituals with an advanced product is like trying to stick a square peg in a round hole. Other boutique product Companies have shoved bad information into the faces of so many people because that's all that they know. They make old technology products and create useless rituals for their products that are not necessary with MB.
Look forward to our adventure together.
