Okay, ladies I received my MB and used it yesterday. I live in Louisiana, the darn humidity is always high.. so I really need this to work. I pooed with Elucence moisture balance shampoo and deep conditioned with Elucence moisture balance conditioner. I used a pea size amount of conditioner with a small amount of Nu Expressions volumizing foam wrap lotion. I then used the mb careful to coat each section.. trying to brush through the ends. I took my hair down this morning, it was gorgeous... went to work with my hair clipped up. and then my hair curls fell. My hair is so soft and shiny, feels so good, but my ends are frizzy in the back of my head. Could it be, maybe I didn't use enough or pull it to the ends.? I only used 1/2 of the sample vial... Please help.. I need this to work, or I am stuck in a protective style the entire summer. My hair is fine, but dense, and does not do well in humidity.. I just had a good trim three weeks ago... so I know my ends are good.

Yep - most likely - you did not use enough - if you only used 1/2 the vial.

I coated my ends pretty well since I worry about the ends....

Don't worry you will find the right balance......

My guess is that you didn't coat all your strands equally and completely. I was reading how important it is to do so. I would try it again paying special attention to those areas you had problems with last time. See what happens... I can't wait to try it!! I am on a no heat until July challenge.

 

[growinglong777]

Thanks Samanathajones. and AtlantaJJ. I will try using a little more, cause this really seems to be a great product.

OMG day three (or 2.5 to be exact)!!!!! no change.

i set it in 4 braids last night. i used a little of my spritz as a setting lotion .

OK, i need to know from those who've done a "sabino cycle" how was it washing out? the instructions said the product could last through 1 cowash or poo, is this true? and if i wanted to completely remove it from the hair would i have to wash twice?

i guess it could work to a real advantage for a natural - you could go from straight to a braid or twist out (prolly without as much poofiness) and allow the product to just wear itself out.

i guess i should have asked these silly questions before i used it

As always, TIA

And thanks for the product recommendation jlove and every other lhcf member who was involved in this and in the other thread (i'm sorry if don't know all your names!) - i love having so many options!!!!

 

[Bublin]

I just ordered it on Friday. I think this product could save my life .

For anyone in the UK thats interested it cost me a total of $33 including shipping. That would be about £15. I hope it's worth the money.

 

[brownsugarflyygirl]

Okay wow...I usually dont get involved with new products but this one seems worth it especially since I plan to use more heat at the end of this year. Im not completely satisfied with my Redken Heat Glide so Im going to call now to order my samples.

ETA: I ordered them...Diane is really nice!! I told them I heard about it here... LHCF discount here we come!!!

@ bolded - girl, stop being stingy with all that hair you got, you should have used at least 1 whole vial. Diane, does say (and I can testify) that it may take a few times to learn to get the amount you need for your hair lenght and texture.

 

[queen_t]

Got my samples today. Dang, it came with a 3 page letter! I'll probably test next wash.

 

[ladylibra]

yay my SO called and said the samples are here!

i can't wait to get home now... is it 5 yet?

 

[growinglong777]

JOVE74...girl it felt kind of sticky coming out.. I didn't want to overdue.. it, so next time I am using a whole vial.. my hair is poofy,but it feels good!

couple questions:
are you roots poofy (I know you mentioned the ends)?
how do you blowdry your roots?

 

[growinglong777]

JLOVE 74,, my roots are smooth as silk, the ends only are a mess. I didn't blowdry, I rollerset and sat under my hairdryer, which I thought I could do.. Do you think this is the problem? I meant poofy, because my hair is fine, but it is dense.. so it really looks like I have a ton of hair.

I plan on rollersetting as well then flatironing (I'm natural) Do you think rollersetting will be a problem? I received my samples in the mail yesterday. However, I placed an order for the full sized bottle of MB last week and I have received that as well.

 

[growinglong777]

I don't think rollersetting is a problem, I think my problem was I didn't get enough on my ends.. The rest of my hair is silky, so soft and beautiful. My ends are the parts that frizzed since it was really humid today. I plan on ordering the large size, but I will try one more time with the 1 1/2 vials I have left.. to see if more product on my ends will help. It really is a great product.. it just needs to be used properly for each ladies hair I think.

 

[ladylibra]

40 minutes until i get off work... i can't remember the last time i was this anxious to try out a product... heck to do ANYTHING

 

[MissScarlett]

This stuff didnt work for me,, it just seemed like any other serum, frizz ease etc....also the bottle was so small for the huge price and it spilled out in my bag... i hate it lol, i guess im a little biased because it spilled LOL

Hmm..... I think we have similar hair type, so I'd wonder how this would work for me.

I tested this again last Friday with Carusos on non-freshly washed hair

Here's what I did:

• Washed and airdried my hair Tuesday night
• Did my every other day OCT scalp thing
• Did my regular daily moisture seal bun routine on Weds - Fri
• Friday evening I did another really good moisture session and lightly sealed with Vatika Oil and then GENTLY combed thru with a wide tooth comb
• Applied MB to sections of hair and GENTLY combed thru for even distribution
• Finger parted and set with Carusos
• Wrap hair after taking out Carusos
• Sat under Pibbs for like 5 mins
• BAM.........unwrapped and the hair acted and looked like it was freshly washed

I had to go out Friday night, was lazy, and didn't have time to go through the whole wash/DC yadda yadda yadda.....too much work sometimes

Fast forward to today (Tuesday a week later and yes, I still have not washed my hair )......my hair is still straight except for the slightly puffy ng due to OCT. I'm going home to wash this sucka tonight but MB works on hair that isn't freshly washed and with Carusos too. HTH some of y'all make up your mind to order the big size like I did!

 

[ladylibra]

yay my SO called and said the samples are here!

i can't wait to get home now... is it 5 yet?

SO doesn't know how to read, the package i received today was my Denman brush, not my Sabino samples.

what a let-down.

i think my samples got lost in the mail or something... *** it i'm just gonna place an order tonite...

 

[vivEz daNs lamouR]

I'm so tempted to just order the full bottle instead of waiting for the samples. Damn you LHCFers and my PJism, damn you!

 

[beana]

i have relaxed 4a/b, prone to frizzy hair. I used this during my last wash and the results were wonderful!

I washed and conditioned, airdried and flat ironed. at around 75% dry, i smoothed 1/4 of the sample vial thru my hair, then airdried completely.

I sectioned off my hair in 4 and began to apply a small amount section by section. My flat ironed hair looked better than ever! i've received several compliments on the shine and it has not reverted! We've had rainy/ humid weather here in NYC and my hair is still smooth!!

Denman brush is a good thing though, so it shouldn't be a letdown.

What? I was too busy looking at your cheddar biscuits. I don't even know what you wrote.

check pg 9 of the thread. That's exactly what I did before flatironing. I did a pony set. You can see my results there.

Lala uses this product and her hair is down to her butt!

I just called the company and talked to Diane, then got to speak with the owner. He was really awesome. He told me step by step how to use the product. I told him I was afraid as it is water proof, how do I get in my moisture? I want to block out environmental moisture, but keep in moisture that is necessary for my hair. He says that the product makes moisture perfect. Meaning when you shampoo and condition, leave in some conditioner, put in whatever moisture products you want, then put in his moisture block, it will seal in the moisture that you have put in the hair, and keep out the moisture you don't want from the environment. I just ordered the product. I was like this close from getting a relaxer and I wanted to resist and stay natural, but I don't want my hair reverting in 2-3 days...otherwise why straighten it at all. He says it will last until my next wash, I only wash once a week. I hope it's as good as he says it is. He has instructional videos on you tube on the product, and says the product, when used correctly protects the hair from heat. So anyways I will get back to you on if it works. He explain to me why most black women hate cones, and that most cones work in a different way then his product. Most cones are mixed with water and become a mess, they aren't effective and cause more damage than good. It took two years to develop his product and he constantly works on black hair. He says none of his clients have heat damage as the product works to seal the hair and protect it from the environment and the heat from the iron. We'll see...I'll let you know.

 

[CurleeDST]

WOW very nice.

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.

 

[sunshinebeautiful]

OK. I was avoiding this thread, but now ya'll make me want to buy.

I've been using CSI, I love it, but my roots eventually revert. If this product truly works with no root reversion, I'm sold. I'm checking to see if more free samples are available.

 

[ladylibra]

another day goes by and no free samples.

Denman brush is a good thing though, so it shouldn't be a letdown.

very true, i finally tried that sucker out and after the first few strokes i was like, "oh, Denman! where have you been all my life???" (the rest is X-rated, i need to see some I.D. before revealing the rest cuz i know we have yunguns on the board )
