I'm going to post pics right now and you'll see. But here's what's different about this product...there are no fillers in it whatsoever. He broke (owner) it down to me on the phone and I was so impressed that I purchased the fullsize. The other silicones are inferior, and have lots of added stuff to it to cut down on the price. Basically they are just trying to make a cheap, effective version for others. What this product does is, it is pure cone without the filler. The Cyclomethicone is added to keep hair super smooth with the Dimethicone too. Now it is the amount in his product, and the right amount of each, that makes it unique and patent pending. Also without the fillers, it doesn't dry out the hair like the other products. I love this product and I want to dance I tell you. By the way, there's free samples, see for yourself people! Okay, I'll be back in a sec, once I find out how to send these pics from my cell phone to email, make them smaller on my system so that they can take, etc....

I will BET you that you can buy the stuff and mix it yourself. It boils down to the real deal about the chemistry of making products. People think it's sooo complex, but it's not. If you can boil water you can make your own product. It may not smell as great or be in a fancy jar, but hot darn does it work and is it CHEAP!

I hear ya! Exactly. From what I hear, it took him two years to perfect his mix. And he knows what he's doing. I'm not messing with that. I have pics a few posts back and I think it's worth every penny. You only need a tiny amount too so it'll last for a while. I am applying an OCT, Mega Tek mix, and my hair is not reverting, and I'm natural. I was expecting a big poof ball...that's what I had last week using OCT. It's not happening. It rained over the weekend, and it rained yesterday and today, and my hair is still beautiful and shiny (and straight because that's the way I'm wearing it this week). I look like I have a relaxer. I am truly happy with the product. The funny thing is, I took the pics with my cell phone and it does not truly reflect the shine that I have with this product. And I'm talking pretty shine, non greasy shine.
 
Im sorry if someone already asked this :look: but why were they not sweating when they came out?? i stay 5 min in my steam and im soaking in sweat :perplexed
 
Hey ladies. I used my MB. Instead of applying it all over, I applied it to each section right before I flat ironed. I made sure to cover my NG and my ends. I went out tonight and danced a little. By now my hair should have felt dry and extra poofy but it felt smooth and silky. I went to the bathroom to see what it looked like. I only had a little poofy-ness at the top. my hairline is still str8 because I made sure I used extra to prevent it from reverting. This product is a staple now. I did see some smoke when i flat ironed and I dont know what temperature my iron was on because it doesnt have that feature. It didnt smell like burnt hair either. It didnt smell like anything. It really does add a shine and my hair is STILL weightless. Im so happy I found this product. I just cant wait to see if my curls pop back after washing. I didnt even use a whole sample vile but I could have at the top part that got a little poofy.

I will try to post pictures.

:circle:Going into day three. Here are the pics, I posted for day one in the green, and day three (I was in the bathroom and the lighting kinda washed me out, but you get the idea). My hair was super straight day one, and I didn't turn the heat to 400...I was scared (even though he said the hair was protected). It certainly felt like it was, though, (protected), because I didn't see any hairs afterwards, not even a few (thank God). Because of my thyroid condition, even if I use heat protection and go gentle, usually there are a few hairs on the ground gosh darn it. So anyways this time none. I put the heat as high as I could without freaking out 375, I'm 4a with some 3c. I took a pic on day one, before the derby, it was really rainy/humidity up the wazoo here visiting my mom in louisville. I took the pic when I got back home and my hair held up well. I've exercised and everything and am going into day 3. When I exercise, as I am so used to doing so, I don't work up too much of a sweat, but I do work up some. Also, I apply OCT to my scalp and you KNOW I should have some reversion, but I haven't found any. Day three, with the OCT, it's just a slight difference, but I know it's holding up well, because I should be a furball by now! I only put it on my scalp, but some gets on about an inch of my hair, and it puffs up, and the rest of my hair becomes silly looking like a half fro thing. So I am happy that didn't happen here. By day three, I am just pinning my hair up, so it had a little more body init, but no reversion. Keep in mind, I I am sold on this stuff. I thank Lala because she pm'd me about this product and I am so happy she did. At the time, I was worried, thinking about going to a relaxer, as my hair needs to be consistently predictable when I go to auditions. I need to look the same as my pics: if it's straight it needs to be on point, curly, same thing. The good thing is, this product also works on curls. Yeah!:thewave:

How did I do it? Okay I washed, conditioned, dc'd and then I took some moisturizing (non protein based conditioner) and squished it through my entire hair, pulled it through with my denman (which I love too), after detangling first with a comb. Then I put in a little lacio lacio with water just for added moisture, a half dime size amount of qhemet amla and olive and sealed with coconut (tiny). What?!!! I wanted to make sure I got enough moisture in as I know moisture block seals in the moisture and keeps it from evaporating until the next wash!! So then I put in a little moisture block focusing on root and ends. I brushed it through with my denman, pony roller set my hair and sat under a soft hooded dryer. Then I took it out. By now it's stretched out and some areas that I smoothed correctly with my denman were already super straight because of the Moisture block and heat from my dryer, the other areas were wavy. I applied a little more moisture block, smoothed it through, and flat ironed sections that needed it like the roots. I did what he mentioned, take thin sections, hold at root for 2-3 seconds to set, and then pull through any parts of my hair that had kinks that needed smoothing. I went a step further: I then pulled a pocohantas (Thanks pocohantas) and did a silk rap. I cross wrapped my hair, wrapped it in saran wrap, and sat under the dryer for 10 minutes to make sure it set. Tada! I feel like my hair looks like I had it done at the salon. I think I'm going to start another thread to give props to people. There are people who have helped us all and we should most definitely give thanks!:grin:

Your hair looks great! It looks like you have a relaxer. I just received my sample but I'm going to save it for when I straighten my hair in June.

Well ladies, the spring/summer is coming up and for some of us that means dealing with the humidity. Sabino moisture block is a great product. I've used it for a little over a year now. Recently, I forgot to use it and it was on a day that we had some warmer than average weather here in DC. The frizzies started:nono::nono: When I do use it, no frizzies. This stuff REALLY works, for me.

Here is video on YouTube to demonstrate the product. There are 2 biracial (I think) young ladies included.

Thanks JLove for giving us heads up on this product. :yep:
 
MY problem with this product is that it works too well. You won't be able to straighten then do a curly look unless you shampoo it out.
 
I need to get my hands on this stuff. Living in Florida humidity during the summer is..not...a..joke. By 9:00 am, my hair frizzes up.

Its a common problem for me even WITHOUT this product. Str8 hair is harder to curl.
 
Okay so Im going to revisit this tonight. Have a whole bottle. Just gonna experiment with a different way. D@#n I want this to work. Before I applied to wet hair only, wrapped, and flat ironed. This time i will do it the same way but add a little more to dry hair prior to flat ironing.:grin:

I was wondering this too. Also wondering why the untreated side of the hair (especially for the curly heads) looked the same when it came out of the steam as it looked when they went in.
What's up with that?

I hope this product is as good as it sounds.

I do. For instance, I'll flat-iron and wear it like that for the day, then at night I just use som flexirods, take them out the next morning and finger comb. I've also used the curing iron after flat ironing to add more curls.

How about doing it both ways. Apply a little to wet hair including ng (brush through or do whatever you do to evenly distribute it) and then when dry apply to the ng, and ends, brush through to evenly distribute it and then flat iron? Save a little and rub it through your hands and brush it through after too (just a tiny tiny amount).

Thanks for the tip. Will try it!
 
So do you guys think this is a good replacement for the other heat protectants we use? The main job if MB is to keep out the moisture and prevent reversion but how good of a job does it do at actually protecting from heat?? Would it be too much to use a redkin heat glide or chi silk infusion in addition to this?

No need. When I talked to Victor Sabino on the phone...I don't know if you read my post earlier in the thread but I was lucky enough that he happened to be in when I called with questions, I was told that it forms a protective barrier around the hair (not only locking moisture in and out humidity but also protecting the hair from heat). I found that my ends were not dry when I finished, and no burn smell, etc. I keep feeling my hair this week, and I know it's protected. Hope that helps. You wouldn't need to use any other protection. That's one thing I like. It's going to cut down on some products, and make others last longer (by holding in the moisture and preventing evaporation). So anyways, in my longwinded typing way, sabino protects hair from heat.
 
I've read all the posts and this product really looks as if it is
an answer to my moisture retention problems. It appears to
seal the hair until the next wash....WOW!

I may have missed the answer this question, if so I apologize...

I read the product washes out with each poo, since it is a cone
based product are there any special ingredients (chems) which should be
in the poo used to remove this product from the hair...i.e. sls...etc. ?

TIA
 
So far, so good. :):up: I applied mine to my airdried rollerset, not while it was wet. The weather was not as humid as it could have been (about 60%) but still humid enough where I could compare to the past. It does loosen the curls from the rollerset a little and I don't have any frizz, especially my ends. Tommorow it's supposed to rain, so it will be a better test. :)
 
Ok I emailed Sabino about the Moisture Block and rollersetting. I asked if I could use the MB with LottaBody and here was the response (his answers are in RED):

Hello,

I've heard great things about this product on longhaircareforum.com. I am interested in trying it out but I rarely use heat (direct heat) to straighten my kinky afro textured hair (which is relaxed but not bone straight) because I find it damaging. See attached! and watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3COcodywBA8
I notice that with Moisture Block it is recommend that heat at 400 degrees be used to straighten the hair. I rollerset my hair to get it straight, I also use LottaBody Setting Lotion along with some moisturizer (lite) then wrap it to get it straight. Could I use Moisture Block with Lottabody? Yes you can because it will help add thickness to MB, which is mainly designed to completely control your hair in any climate. This product is not only designed to do what many water soluble products do but instead make the water soluble product better than designed. I would like your opinion on this, also I would like to order samples to see how it works for me. please contact me soon. We have free samples just go to our website and fill in the pop up submission form. It may not seem like a lot of product but a little goes a long way.

Sabino
