I used one and a quarter, I'm relaxed medium/fine strands, a lot of hair though. If I were natural I'd expect to use much more. In fact for the ponytail I know I used more - but what I have on my head would probably be too much for flatironing without weighing it down.
Wow y'all he is such a professional.
Well I tried the SMB on my relaxed hair for wash and go pony, but by the time I put it on the waves were non existent. After I felt the hair was pretty coated (it was damp) I put it in a pony and then patted some water back through the tail to try to active some curl....I don't think it rinsed out MB, though. Still felt "treated" if that makes sense.....I used Fantasia sparklites gel on my tail, scrunching up to hold the waves...it looked pretty wet. But dry just looked the same as when I did it before.
So I need to try this again.....the problem is the best waves come with nearly soaking wet hair for me....all I did was rinse (head back, combed out then) leaving some Keracare humecto in, then put a towel gently over the hair. The waves hadn't begun to dry when I took the towel off....maybe they are just not curly enough? Or not enough clumping. I want to try his C4CH but I want to use up the brand new Sparklites gel....hmmmmmm.
Next wash, I'll either try another w'n'g, or just use the SMB to airdry in a single braid ponytail (sooooo boring,).
Yep! You're our official spokesperson. I rename you QueenSexyAccent. Off to see which other company we need you to do our bidding
[/quote]! BTW, can you please tell us what is this cr4h or C4CH or aaaggh
I keep forgetting what it is called by the time I go to post! So what is it?

luv me some a dat too.
My curls are kind of "mashed" and fro-ish, which never happns when I use my other stuff for washngo. I can usually stretch a washngo for 3 days before completely cowashing or shampooing by spritzing with water and adding a little moisturizer but with SBM i've supposedly water-proofed my air so there's no point in trying to freshen up or moisturize. Since I don't have time tonight, in the morning I will wash and condition for only a few minutes since I have to work and then do a real DC when I get home.Yesterday i washed and did a protein DC and then applied some leave-in, coconut oil, and then the SBM. I was happy...yesterday. After my hair dried it felt lighter than my usual 1st day washngo and the curls were defined and everything. I did notice more shrinkage than when I use my usual products and I still had to use FantasiaIC for my frizzy edges but it was looking good. and more shiny than usual.
Tonight my hair still feels soft, very moist (but not wet) and a little greasy, and I'm ready to wash this out.
I think I will only be using the SBM as a heat protectant for when I blow-dry and do my flat-iron. IMO, I need more weight in my hair when I do washngos to prevent the tangling from shrinkage and the curlywhirly.
Welcome!
. If I find my hair to be suffering in anyway then I'll stop but I really don't see that happening.
I don't know if you read that other big long thread, but Mr.Sabino doesn't recommend other leave ins before MB; the water that will be sealed in should be enough to moisturize your hair. Applying other product to the hair before MB may end up diluting your MB and reducing it's effectiveness - making it a water soluable product. Try without the leave in and the oil. Wash and condition, and on the final rinse, don't rinse all the way out. Then apply the MB. I did this yesterday and it feels weird to go without my Salerm21 but BOY is my hair moisturized!!Yesterday i washed and did a protein DC and then applied some leave-in, coconut oil, and then the SBM.

. I can truly make my own.
Yes, in the long thread started by Jlove
Oh I'm sorry we neglected to tell you that , it was stated often in that other thread. It is these two ingedients mixed a certain way, without anything else that waterproofs. The one is very thick and the other dilutes it.Product arrived, finally got to "see" this up close and in person. Lo and behold, SMB is "dimethicone and cyclomethicone". Hot dang. You could have bowled me over with a feather. To refresh memory I researched the two chemicals again (had done so years ago to formulate lotion and body creams).
I got carried away with the frenzy about it here. If this works with my hair I will be formulating my own "serum"; it truly is no biggie and the price I was preparing to pay, well hit my back hand with a wet noodle . . .
Besides the Fact that i need a Better Flat iron i still liked the Results. My hair Was not Fully Straighten. Not At all LOL! But i liked the Body and Shine Off to find my camera.
I got my sample of the smb and used it according to the directions. I washed and conditioned and left a bit of conditioner in then applied a dime size of mb, blowdried and flat ironed my natural 4b twa on 400 as recommended. While it was str8t it looked great shiney bouncy all that. then I decided that I wanted my naps back so I shampooed four days later and all my naps are gone ladies. YES GONEI have hair in the front that is as stright as relaxed hair and also a patch in the back and my curls are not tight at all it looks so bad, like a wet rat. I can't believe I did this I'll have to shave my head this weekend I can't do anything with it. I wish I could post a pic
