WOW.... Sabino Moisture Block video on YouTube

[sunshinebeautiful]

I do not recommend moisturizers for hair and never use them on any of my clients and we are in a dry climate, Scottsdale, AZ. Conditioners and moisturizers only hold “on” the hair for 2 to 3 hours. Notice that I stated the word “ON”. Hair is dead and can not be repaired so conditioners do not attach to the hair for any longer than stated above.

Now that you have put a waterproof barrier on that sponge, just like your hair, it will not only lock in the essential moisture in your hair from shampoo to shampoo but it will also lock in the essential proteins from the conditioner allowing your hair to utilize the proteins as a supportive link. Moisture Block also blocks out excess moisture (humidity), again, which causes frizz. So, apply a conditioner and then apply Moisture Block over your hair when towel dried.

​

This is totally interesting... and quite revolutionary. No moisturizing? Well, I can't talk cuz I don't really moisturize anyway. I just rewash and condition when my hair gets dry. LHCF blasphemy, I know.

So if I'm reading correctly, Sabino says all you need to do is condition, rinse out, + apply moisture block. No leave-ins, no moisturizers, no nothing?

I'd like to hear some thoughts about this... Ya'll know how heat is the devil, right? No heat damage from frequent straightening either?

Right, I hear it is the ratio of the cones that make the difference. I saw the exact 2 ingredients in Silken Seal by Keracare and tried it - it SUCKED on my hair. SMB is supposed to be different so my sample is to come very soon and we shall see b/c my hair shows NO MERCY on any product.

Loving my hair right now!

 

[ladylibra]

alright then. gave Sabino a try on ALL my hair, then went to work. we got slammed, i feel like i practically did a work-out.

MB is the only product that can even attempt to hang with my hair. anything else would've given me a frizzy puff. so i'm sold. no more straightening for awhile though... but i'm glad to find a product that actually DOES something!

 

[CurleeDST]

Sounds like you can also use this product on wash and go's to hold in moisture even if you do not decide to straighten. Also I was at Aveda last week and the young lady encouraged me to use their Light Elements serum to help to detangle my easily tangled hair. I would imagine SMB could be used the same way as a detangler since it is a cone product and would provide some form of detangling. So I plan to use it in both climates on wash and go's as well as when I straighten to see how it works.

My daughter's front of her hair is VERY VERY VERY dry and I used Aveda for 6 months on it (Brilliant Cream, Beautifying Oil and Anti-humectant pomade) and that hasn't stopped it from still being dry and moisturized enough for it to grow. It is shorter than the rest of her hair. Before 100% Aveda I used Dudley's PCA Moisture Retainer (which I believe is a GREAT moisturizer) and this 100% all natural oil along with their A, D & E cream and her hair was moisturized at first but by the end of the day, after running around outside, the front was dry and frizzy again and dried out. So I plan to try SMB to see if we can't get her front moisturized all day once and for all!

so, it kept your WnG hair from getting frizzy/puffy? when you wear WnG hair or puffs, it normally gets frizzy?

ummm, me,too. it works for me, too. when i talked about keeping my hair moisturized with sabino, i meant by the moisturizing poo and con & leave-in's i use when i wash. i don't use moisturizers either. i just started using coconut oil ~3 months ago between washes, but i use it mostly for shine, it doesn't seem to add more moisture back into my hair.

i agree, this would be a novel idea, just wash and condition (& maybe a leave-in) and put on MB. that's it. style however you want. then do over again when your hair starts to get dry/show signs of wear...whenever that is for you and your hair...K.I.S.S...i like it...i think i might be on to something for my hair...i would like to think it's not supposed to be this hard and/or complicated to take care of our hair...

yep you were right... i wet my hair this morning and made another vid. (will be uploaded soon)

no sorry, i was referring to my flat-ironed hair. it was nice on my WnG today because it limited my shrinkage, but not necessary cuz shrinkage doesn't bother me. i am gonna try this again on a braidout fro... i LOVE picking out my hair and making it big and fluffy but of course it always shrinks back up. based on how well it worked for my flat-ironed hair, i think it will work great on stretched styles too.

No pics, Ladylibra? You know the deal by now.

ETA: OK, I see you're already on the game.

Ok, ladylibra I just watched the vids. Thx for posting... You "sealed" it for meyour hair looked GREAT after work, it was shiny, straight and had movement...

jeez...i said i wasn't going to buy nothing else this summer....

anyhoo.. off to www.sabinohair.com...

 

[ladylibra]

*sighs* well, my vid was too long for YouTube. so i uploaded it to MySpace. i hate doing that cuz it takes FOREVER for the vid to become live... wish i had a video editor... erplexed

oh well, coming soon i promise. i am still playing with my hair, i am not used to it feeling so HEAVY. i keep thinking it's not dry yet but it's been dry for hours now. i can tell there is moisture actually locked in to my hair, that's why it feels so heavy.

FindingMe, you might be on to something with the wash/condition/MB idea. i seriously could see that working. i smell a summer challenge... i don't know if i could do this AND ayurvedic (am i spelling this right, i keep butchering the word), but if i can find a way to incorporate both i just might do it.

***ETA: okay it's live now i shouldn't have stalled for so much time during the plopping process, LOL http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=34863709

 

[senimoni]

I'm confused...did you upload the right video...b/c all I see is you washing your face?

 

[Hair Iam]

After reading this thread I Just had to purchased mine from Ebay...I'm so excite . I'm traveling to Hampton VA in June and I want my hair to look fierce for the week I'm there. I'm praying SMB will block the heat or humidity from my salon press. Also if it really works , I will have solved my girlfriends problem, she sweats out her flat irons within hours. So this would be a God send for her. I'll take it with me to my salon visit on the 20th of June , I'll experiment with it myself on the 14 of June when I do a flatiron at home.



I"M SO EXCITED AND I JUST CAN"T HIDE IT

there are 3 other sabino ones on her FOTKI that go through the MB on flat ironed hair...the one you are talking about is the day after her hair was straight and she wet her hair again and this time used MB on WnG hair...she was washing her face and putting on makeup while she plopped her hair and was waiting to reveal it...

sorry i know that was boring... i was plopping to soak up the excess moisture and dry my hair faster. i washed my face and applied make-up to kill time...

if the vid downloads fast enough you can just skip to the end, LOL.

NP...I was just confused...I watched a few minutes then when you got the the makeup I closed it out...lol. I'll reload.

Thanks for the links to the other videos.

ETA : Totally nosy question but are you required to wear your hair back or you just choose to? One of your comments about going back to work and pulling your hair back made me wonder.

thanks for the vids, again...your comments support that whole sponge analogy Sabino had...did you add more MB after you rinsed?

OT: I SOO want your hair...It's R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!!!

nope i didn't add any more... didn't finger-comb or use any tools... nothing. just wet my head and plopped.

i watched my vid and i am MAD at the weird shag-mullet i have going on now. erplexed i'm glad i threw out my scissors, i need to stop messing in my hair. but thanks for the compliments chica!

did it take you a longer time to blow dry than normal? (i don't know if you even blow dry enough to notice... ) MB cut my drying time SIGNIFICANTLY. i was really surprised, that's the first thing that really made me think they weren't just blowing smoke.

ITA with what they said about hair being like a sponge... ESPECIALLY mine. my hair is moisture-hungry, and that's one reason i add honey to my conditioner. something about honey draws moisture out of the air constantly and it keeps my hair from getting dry and frizzy. also ladykpnyc said it in one of her vids, certain things work better on dry hair because of that sponge-like behavior hair has. that's why so many of us benefit from pre-poos.

Let's see. My hair was in 13 sections when I started blow drying. Each section I could get dry to mostly dry in less than 2 minutes. Hmm, come to think of it, I think that is faster than usual, though I don't blow dry much anymore so it's hard to remember.

Technically I still think it's moisturizing as you leave in conditioner in his recommendation. Then you use his MB as a seal.

 

[Healthb4Length]

Opps I forgot to update my results with the SMB. After 6 days it held up great! Here are some pics after six days of being hot, raining, exercising and house work etc. I'll be including this into my regimen especially when I heat style. I'm wondering if this would be effective when doing rollersets?



Notice the Back of the hair is puffy? That's the part where I did not apply SMB. I only used it on the front half of my hair and it held up well.

 

[napgurl]

My samples are on the way.

OK. I got you. So you don't rinse out the conditioner? I do this sometimes on my wash-n-go hair... Hmmm........

I think I want your hair too, LL.

My hair looks like that when it's slightly texturized. Your hair is gorgeous.

So, I flat ironed today. Ummm, I don't think we'll be able to tell if this Moisture Block is going to help with reversion because my "straightened" hair came out like this:



And I promise you 10 times over, this picture does not fully convey the HUGENESS of my hair. It is bigger than my head. It rests near the outside of my shoulders, so put your hands there and see what I mean. I can't remember the last time I saw anybody walking around with hair this big, or if I ever have. Is this a taste of what it's like to be Lynnie on a regular basis? So, yeah, not actually straight. I was sure if I got an expensive fancy flat iron it would work. I blow dried with the MB 2 days ago and enjoyed my blow out afro, which was not as big as this. This morning I spent 2 HOURS (!!!) flat ironing small section by small section. I got a Solia and flat ironed on 370. I actually applied Chi Silk Infusion to each section, too. Maybe it wasn't hot enough, maybe there's too much heat protectant, but then again, I've never been able to get my hair straight with a flat iron. Ah well. I'll just tell myself "big hair is sexy"
