I don't know if you're asking me or not, but I'll answer anyways. Not yet...I haven't gotten around to it. I will though.

Yes, I was asking you. I just asked because you have really nice, stalk-worthy hair.
I'm going natural and in this transition phase, I need all the inspiration I can get.
By the way, I ordered my Moisture block sample. It's my SO's birthday weekend and I wanted to get a blow out but it will be raining all weekend. This is the perfect time to check it out.
Most of you have tried it before styling... I was thinking to just apply it after my blow out. Is that not recommended?

Thanks so much, I'm working on whipping my hair into shape. You could totally use it with your blow out. I'd say to put it on before you blow it out, so that it can protect your hair from the heat, and also keep it looking on point. If you can, use a little after your wash/condition and smooth it through, then blow out, and put a little more if you are going to flat iron from there. Focus on roots and ends, but smooth it through (I use my denman, but I'm sure there are other ways), just to make sure it's evenly distributed. If you're going to put it in after you blow it out, that would work too, before you flat iron, just so that it can keep your style on point. I've noticed others have done that, and it's also in one of his instructional videos that I posted earlier. Hope that helps.Yes, I was asking you.

You can also use it without the heat. It's used on curls to keep them from frizzing so I don't see why it can't work on your blown out hair. Let me know how it works out!

I was trying to avoid flat ironing all together. In the instructional video, it says that if you don't see smoke, it's not hot enough.
That scares the heck out of me.:gotroasted: Is this true?
I will try it before my blowout like you suggested. I'm going to the salon and I didn't want them to slather it on my head that's why I wanted to do it myself after. But I might as well do it right or not do it at all. But the whole smoke thing scares me... my hair is fine and fragile.:burning:

O ok, gotcha. Maybe I will try one side before the heat and one side after.
Maybe not because if it works on one side and not the other, I will be looking all jacked up throughout the entire weekend. I'll keep you posted though.

Whatever! I didn't turn it up hot enough to see smoke. I freaked myself and emailed the company about it. They said only if it's hot enough will it smoke, and only the product, NOT the hair, will smoke. Yeah my results were smoke free thank you very much. Sorry, thinking about smoke makes me nervous....The product works just as well without it, so I'd say opt to avoid the smoke....I was trying to avoid flat ironing all together.

The product does coat the hair shaft, when applied properly and provides a shield from heat. Because it isn't mixed with other drying stuff, it doesn't evaporate off. So it keeps the hair protected even if you do use the heat. Just don't turn it up crazy though. Lala uses it with heat from her pm and her hair is waist length. My hair feels really moist right now, no dryness, and there is no burnt smell, and I know that it's doing just fine. That's the only reason I posted the review.

Wow, awesome results! I wonder if this could help naturals achieve smoother rollersets...

YEEEES!!!! If you have a denman yes. I can't speak for other stuff because I didn't try it that way. You can purchase a denman from sallybeauty.com I think for like 8 bucks. Anyways...The hair that I really smoothed with my denman and the moisture block, I ponyset it, and it was super smooth. I could've just let it go, and it would've had body and curl. I used some lacio lacio, qhemet amla (just a little) and sealed with coconut oil then applied the product. It was so smooth and beautiful...the pieces that I did fully smooth with the denman. I had afew ponytails that didn't need to be flat ironed, and I briefly touched them just so they wouldn't be too curly. Next time I will make sure to smooth each pony that I roller set all the way through, as the ones I didn't, were slightly wavy all the way through. I know it could work though, because I saw it for myself with the smoothed pony set areas. Just make sure you get enough in the root, and on the ends, then smooth through with your denman, you could take out your pony set and just finger comb and go. I'd recommend more ponys for that though if your hair is thicker and coarse like mine. Like one on each side and divide the back into half. On each half divide down three times so you have like six ponys in the back and two on each side. I rolled them up instead of down. If your hair is pretty long, it'll still fall right. Otherwise, roll them down. I roll them up because it helps with the tension to get it just right. Hope that helps...Wow, awesome results! I wonder if this could help naturals achieve smoother rollersets...

Checkout underneath my picture posts for my exact steps of what I did. I did use a little lacio lacio for moisture, but no lottobody. I just wanted to pack in as much moisture as I could possibly pack. The sabino alone would set it, I believe, because I'm hearing from others that their hair is staying in place. I know mine is, I haven't had to do a touch up or anything, and I wouldn't anyways as I don't want too much heat w/ or w/o protection if you know what I mean. When I did the lacio lacio it was primarily lacio 1/10th lacio to 9/10th water (or a little more water). It was primarily lacio/ water to keep the set wet when rolling as I'm natural and wanted to make sure the hair was totally lubricated. At the last step, I smooth in the Sabino, and used my denman before rolling. I hope that helps.So - Wait a sec - can this be used in place of Lottabody for a natural for a rollerset???????

I requested one Monday and you had to order by sending in an email I think. A few hours later, I got a response email confirming the address to send it do and Diane also asked where I heard about the product. So they are tracking us. they probably added the pop up because alot of people have probably been requesting samples.

Hey I wanted to share this email with you guys about the products...remember when I wrote they took down my email when I had called earlier. Well Victor Sabino was so nice, that he sent those links to the you tube videos. I emailed about the 400 degree thing and this is what he sent me about that. I did not use it at 400 exactly, but I do trust his advice as he really does seem genuine, and I love his product. Anyways...I thought I'd pass it on to yall. I'm just going to copy and paste it:
A person on long hair care forum stated that she didn't use the flat iron on 400 degrees so her new growth reverted because she didn't put any MB at the roots. She must trust what we are saying about the heat protection from MB. We work on word of mouth, so what I'm saying is true, and she (and you) will learn in time that this product is very superior protection. The new growth will stay strong if she follows the instruction of 400 degrees minimum and applying MB at the roots as she would the ends. She got shiny spots because she did not evenly distribute MB. This is common at first until each person learns how to distribute that, which is best for them. If they are working out or doing strenuous work that causes perspiration at the scalp, its best to apply a little more at the roots when dry just before flat ironing or adding C4CH for a natural curl. Heat can be lower, but we suggest 400. Trust that your hair is protected. Sometimes when the heat is lower, several passes have to be made. With this method, only one pass is necessary.
Again, I have many clients that flat iron their hair and NONE have damage or breakage. They hold for a count of 3 at the roots and a count of 8 to and through the ends. You can test it in one area to see the difference. Also, using water soluble products that are for anti-frizz or sheen break down MB so it must be used alone when flat ironing, conditioners (and moisturizers) are oK. There is no need for anti-frizz or sheen product as MB provides frizz and sheen control.
Some also mentioned price. If they want their hair longer and healthier, using a product that works is most important regardless of price. We as Americans look for getting more for less, we have been spoiled that way but unfortunately products are made with water because it's cheap to make but they are not effective like MB.
I have a client who has very curly hair and when she stresses her hair thins out. During her last episode she continued to use MB. Now that her hair is slowly growing back her hair is thicker and longer. I check her ends every 4 weeks when she comes in for color and I don't have to even trim them. When she first came to me her hair was shoulder length, now it's to the middle of her back. I only dust her ends every 12-16 wks (1/8th or less of an inch).
Another client who is African American had multiple damage from weaves and neglect. She is a personal trainer. Her hair is now very healthy, long and she never frizzes during workout.
It's understandable that most are against hairstylists. Just like product companies putting out false information, hair stylists have not lent much credibility to the hair industrys advancement. They are fickle and uneducated when it comes to product. They only experience what they see when a client is in the salon. They talk more about personal stuff rather than educate their clients ... get them in and get them out. I don't operate that way. I fully educate each client for their specific needs, that's why my clientele is so big. When I was in Beverly Hills I created the first volumizer for hair named "Rootlift" and the first leave-in conditioner because I saw a need. The name of the company was Oggi International of Beverly Hills. We did phenomenal business for 2 years until my partner ripped me off. I also had two huge salons in CA with 64 employees for 20 years. I lectured, did platform work and trained thousands of stylists over the years and consulted with salon owners nationally. My salons were the first design team for Lanza and I helped them develop their first products.
I'm not trying to blow my own horn but hopefully help to give you as much information as I can. I am not just another stylist, I care and have done tons of research. I truly want to help people not just sell them product, that will come in time. I originally developed MB because I was so frustrated at the tons of useless product developed to control frizzy, coarse, and curly hair. I constantly test products and order from other sites to see if what they have is competitive. The need is more important to me than the sale. If you have a great product, the sales will come, its just a matter of getting the word out.
Companies like Jessiecurl or Lorraine Massey are trying to develop a cult following on old technology. It's always difficult when something new and technologically advanced comes along because people are very skeptical and these two companies have been instrumental in giving everyone the wrong information about silicones. There is so much product out there that consumers don't know what to choose from. So many products are inferior so they resort to home remedies, I can't blame them.
Just some added info.

yay for the compliment, thanks! It is raining in louisville (visiting my mother for derby week) today and my hair still looks fabulous. I'm not walking directly in the rain, as I have an umbrella, but you know that you still get the little "sprays" even with the umbrella from the rain. So my hair is still holding strong.Thanks for the reply! Great hair by the way
