Moisture Block can be used for all hair types but is recommended for 2A to 4C, especially African-American hair.  It is excellent for extremely frizzy hair types and those who live in very humid and rainy climates.

Think of your hair as a sponge sitting in a sink loaded with water. Eventually, that water dries out and the sponge turns to cardboard. Adding more moisture can make the sponge supple, but eventually it dries out again. Instead of constantly trying to stay on top of moisturizing the sponge (your hair), why not put a protective waterproof seal on it, allowing it to maintain its perfect moisture content and not dry out?

Moisture Block is the only product that can lock in the perfect moisture content. After you shampoo and condition, it seals the water in from the towel-dried state. When you are constantly having to add moisture to your hair because water-soluble products are
failing to hold the moisture in, your hair goes through periods of drought. Moisture Block doesn’t allow that to happen. It keeps the essential moisture constant until the next shampoo. Hair is 300% stronger when perfect moisture content is maintained.

You want to block out external moisture

Excess moisture overloads hair and expands the hair shaft, making hair look frizzy. Moisture Block not only locks in the perfect moisture content, but it also blocks out excess moisture that the hair does not need—until your next shampoo. Whether you
blow dry, flat iron, or use a curling iron, Moisture Block will not allow in excess moisture that makes hair revert back to its original frizzy state.

When used as directed, Moisture Block completely protects your hair in any climate or circumstance: rain, snow, humidity, even if you’re swimming. If you flat iron your hair and you are faced with any of these challenges, your hair may wave or curl, but it will
not frizz!

In the ’70s, a completely new direction was begun by Jeri Redding, who started Redkin products. He led hair stylists to believe that filling hair with proteins was the new future of hair care. This started a glut of new companies that wanted to compete for a potentially high-volume source of income.

Other than the creativity of adding ingredients that seemed more sophisticated, they still could not deliver—and to this day, still cannot. The hair care industry has become a multibillion-dollar industry with anyone who has backing to compete. The issue is: All of the hair products have the same basic ingredients. Today, chemists are sophisticated in utilizing disguised chemicals and lacing products with herbs and such to disguise the chemicals that actually create the feel. Hair products or natural foods cannot change the structure of hair (which is dead). They only add a temporary “feel good,” especially if hair has been damaged. Fact: Did you know that a hair product manufacturer only has to add a few drops of herbs and such into vats of water (which is usually the main ingredient), so they can move those ingredients to the top of the list on the bottle or tube?

Oils cannot penetrate into the cortex layer of the hair. A few microbes can penetrate with heat but not enough to make a difference in healing damaged hair or protecting hair for any length of time. In fact, olive oil can become rancid and a bacteria collector when left in the hair for even a few hours. Adding natural ingredients to shampoos is a waste. Shampoo and conditioners contain surfactants, which overcome any debris or additive to hair products or hair. Natural foods molecularly are too large to penetrate or change the structure of hair. These organic ingredients are truly a waste of money unless used for fuel in your body. Natural ingredients may make hair feel better at the time, but once exposed to climate changes—in or out of the home—the hair begins to revert. Conditioners have the same effect on hair. They are water-soluble and only attach to the cuticle with little or no penetration to the cortex even when applied with heat. Watch this video to learn more.

Q.

A. All conditioners are the same: some thicker, some lighter. They are designed to ONLY fill in the holes in the cuticle layer and rarely penetrate the cortex layer for any amount of time.

ALL hair products are water soluble; they are not effective and only act as a “feel good” application that either dissipates or dilutes within two to three hours, depending on the climate conditions. Shea butter is the same as all of the other products. For the best way to understand this, take a dab of any conditioner—including shea butter—rub it in one palm, and hold that hand under the facet for a couple of seconds. Then watch the product either rinse off completely or leave a slight residue and stop beading up. Then take Moisture Block and do the same thing in the other palm. Note that Moisture Block beads up. This beading proves that Moisture Block is not water-soluble, BUT it is shampoo soluble. This is why Moisture Block is the most superior product developed. It is strictly comprised of two pure, 100% cosmetic silicones. If you look on the back of the bottle, compare it to all of the other products in your bathroom. Unlike MB, they all have varied chemical support or “supposedly” organic ingredients. Just note also that anything that is difficult to pronounce (except for dimethicone or cyclomethicone) is chemically processed. This is not a big deal whether it is organic or not because hair is dead, and it only reacts to different ingredients or combinations thereof. Moisture Block is the ONLY product that creates a protective barrier that locks in conditioners and moisture from shampoo to shampoo.

Now to get to your question. When in the shower, shampoo and rinse. Apply as much of a crème conditioner as you desire in the palm of your hand. Squirt about a quarter size or more of Moisture Block on top of the conditioner in your palm. Rub palms together and start applying from the ends up. If your hair is kinky at the roots, add a little extra of both there. Work through well or even comb or brush through. Leave it in while you shower completely, then quickly rinse. Once out of the shower, towel blot and add about a quarter to dime size of Moisture Block (depending on hair thickness) to palms and start  at the ends working up to the roots. Again, add a little more to the roots if they are kinky. Always brush through and messy blow-dry, round brush necessary. I like to use a vent brush and flat dry the hair, as it makes flat ironing easier and quicker. Be sure that your hair is completely dried prior to flat ironing. Go to www.gotfrizz.com and there are videos that show successful flat ironing and other styling techniques. Be sure that your flat iron reaches 450 degrees. 400 degrees is okay, but the lower the temperature, the less Moisture Block penetrates to create unbelievable shine and softness. Moisture Block is also the best thermal protector you can buy regardless of the temperature setting. Do not use any other products with Moisture Block. Oils break it down and they become rancid in the hair after long exposure, allowing bacteria to enter your hair.

The whole reason for our techniques is to educate women on an easier, more effective program to healthier hair that stands up to any climate. Read the posts on the site as well; there is a wealth of information that will change your thinking about what hair and hair products can and cannot do, and why the hair industry is a marketing system rather than developing products that really work. If women were satisfied with the results of water-soluble products, they wouldn’t still be searching for the perfect solution.

Frizzy hair when curly is the best asset one can have

Curly hair is fun, and one can do a lot of experimentation too. Instead of fretting over why you have been cursed with frizzy hair, use these tips to turn it into curly, beautiful hair.

Bad Suggestion: Instead of washing your hair vigorously under the shower, try using a comb to take off the conditioner. Letting the conditioner run through your hair, and your hair will be conditioned to the ends.

Correct Suggestion: This is a strange recommendation. The new hair growth is at the scalp, so why apply conditioner there first? Instead, apply your conditioner starting at the ends and adding more as needed until you have covered the new growth. Conditioners only hold ON the hair shaft for two to three hours because they cannot penetrate the cortex layer of the hair shaft but only fill in where there are pockets in the cuticle due to wear and tear. To lock in your conditioner from shampoo to shampoo, simply add a quarter size or more of Moisture Block to the conditioner while it’s in your palms. Apply from ends up and quickly rinse. I have clients that have been using this technique and added product; the results over time have been amazing.

Bad Suggestion: Shampooing your hair every day is not a great idea. That will make the hair dry and frizzy. Washing your hair once or twice a week is good enough.

Correct Suggestion: That advice is only for women that do not know that all products are water soluble and break down after a few hours. They are not aware that there is a product that is shampoo soluble and will protect the hair from shampoo to shampoo without frizz: Moisture Block. Going longer between shampoos only creates pollutant build-up, leaving the hair dull and dry. Shampoo is designed to remove debris from the hair shaft, but conditioners with Moisture Block add shine and protection.

Somewhat misleading suggestion: Never comb your hair when it is dry. Using a plastic comb is even worse. Frizzy hair is very sensitive and must not be touched always. Combing frizzy hair when it is wet will save a lot of damage like split ends and broken hair.

Better Suggestion: Regardless of whether you use a comb or brush is not the problem. The problem lies with friction. Friction is the biggest cause of hair breakage. I agree that combing when hair is wet rather than dry is a good idea. The hair has more slip, especially when Moisture Block is applied to the hair when wet and dry. MB creates a glide to the hair shaft, eliminating friction and tangles. Split ends are not caused by friction; they are created because the ends have been on the head the longest and subjected to abuse, weather changes, and more. Getting your hair cut regularly—at least every two months—will eliminate split ends. If you have frizzy hair, flat iron and then cut.

Bad Suggestion: Oil your hair twice or thrice a week. A simple warm-oil massage followed by a hair wash after an hour will improve your hair texture. Using a shampoo and a conditioner for dry hair are the best options. Never ever apply oil on your hair and wash it with water. That is the perfect recipe for a bad hair day.

Correct Suggestion: Oils breakdown after a few hours because they become rancid and can easily dilute or dry out, leaving hair dull and subject to bacteria. Warm-oil treatments do not make the oil penetrate or last longer. Then shampooing after the treatment is counter productive. Not washing with water? Whoa, what a clogged-up breeding ground for bacteria. 100% cosmetic silicones with no additives are only found in Moisture Block. They last from shampoo to shampoo and outperform oils.

Bad Suggestion: Getting a deep conditioning and hair spa will help you treat that frizz and bring out the curly hair that was hiding underneath. A good haircut following that also helps reduce the anxiety to a great extent.

Correct Suggestion: I have been a hair designer for 35 years and always found that deep conditioning treatments are a rip-off. It doesn’t matter how intense the conditioner or how much heat, conditioners do not penetrate any deeper than the cuticle and still break down after a few hours. Adding Moisture Block to the conditioner, as suggested, holds the moisture content and conditioner on the hair until the next shampoo without causing build-up.

Such Silliness: It is always important to love what you have. Once you start loving your hair, you will start seeing positive changes in your hair quality. After all, only if you love your hair will you be able to make it better.

Reality: Life is not a fairy tale. Life is real. Hair is dead, and emotions cannot make your hair better. Taking action and learning the realities of what hair and hair products can and can’t do will. Stress from daily living affects our bodies and causes wear and tear on our hair. Be real about your options and take the time to go to www.gotfrizz.com; watch the videos and read the posts.

This part is true: It’s that time of year again! The holiday season usually means lots of travel, snow, and turning up the heat indoors. But keeping warm in the winter can do a lot of damage to curly hair! Fireplaces, dry air, and heating systems all dry out our curls, but there are some simple curly hair tips and tricks to protect your locks from drying out and creating frizz.

Follow just a few of these steps for your curl type, and you’ll be good to go any wintery day!

1. Use that conditioner!

Not true: Because curly hair is very porous, conditioner helps to fill the “holes” and lock in moisture. Conditioners can not be locked into hair. After a few hours, conditioners break down.

Type 2 (Waves): Use a daily conditioning treatment when you shower. Try a light leave-in for afterwards, such as a spray leave-in or light crème. Treat your curls to a deep conditioning treatment once a week.

False: Leave-in conditioners, as well as deep conditioning treatments, cannot protect the hair nor penetrate any deeper than the cuticle layer, exposing conditioners to either dilution or dissipation.

1. Type 3 (Curls): Condition regularly while you shower. Leave conditioner in your hair for an extra five to eight minutes as you shower. Apply a leave-in conditioner, or even some of your regular conditioner as your leave-in. Treat your locks to a deep conditioning treatment 1 to 2x per week, depending on your exposure to the elements and curl type. The colder your climate and tighter your curl, the more you need to deep condition. False: Again, conditioners, no matter how long you leave them in prior to rinsing, will not bond to hair for more than two to three hours. Conditioning residue can make hair look dull.
2. Type 4 (Kinks): Condition with every shower, leaving conditioner on an extra five to ten minutes in the shower. Apply a heavy-handed amount of leave-in conditioner afterwards (cremes work best) and use a deep conditioner treatment twice a week.

For all hair types, it’s best to stay away from blow-drying and heat tools. However, if you absolutely have to use them, make sure to cut down on drying time and use them as little as possible.

Truth: Crèmes are too light for kink; time left on doesn’t matter. It depends on the style you are trying to achieve and how much heat you need. At the end of this article, please read the information that will guide you to proper hair care.

2. Brushes and combs are a no-no!

Except in your shower! All curl types can use a wide-tooth comb to go through their curls. Types 3 and 4 should comb through with conditioner applied to the hair, and keep it sopping wet. False: Whether you use a comb or a brush, conditioners should be applied from the ends up, and because they are water soluble, they dilute quickly when left sopping wet.

3. Lock in moisture

After your leave-in, it’s time to lock in the curl pattern. Keep hair as wet as possible and create three to five sections (depending on hair length) to apply curling gels or crèmes. False: Regardless of alcohol or not, the dilution caused by water will break down the gel and leave-in conditioners.

1. Type 2 (Waves): Apply a non-alcohol based curling spray gel to  your curls or waves.

2. Type 3 (Curls): Apply a non-alcohol based curl gel. Be generous, and keep your hair wet. If you need to, keep a water bottle handy and mist your curls as you apply the gel to any drying areas.

3. Type 4 (Kinks): Apply more water generously and finger twist curls into place as you apply. False: Unfortunately, water cannot control water. Water-soluble products of any kind are much less affective when diluted.

4. Work the ends!

Refresh with lavender essential oil.

The ends of our hair can be especially exposed during winter months. Follow these curly hair tips for extra moisturizing when you shower and style. False: Regardless if you use lavender or olive oils, they break down as well because they are water soluble. Olive oil can become rancid in the hair after climate exposure and become a breeding ground for bacteria.

1. Type 2 (Waves) Apply conditioner to the ends of your hair in the shower and leave on for three to five more minutes.
2. Type 3 (Curls) Apply extra conditioner or a deep conditioning treatment to ends for a few extra minutes while showering.
3. Type 4 (Kinks) Apply deep conditioner or shea butter to ends of your curls while showering and don’t rinse out all of the treatment. False: After I have explained in the prior suggestions about water-soluble products for hair, all of this information is useless.

5. No more terrycloth towels!

You need something smooth and absorbent that won’t cause frizz. Steer clear of terrycloth and textured towels. Be sure to blot and not rub your curls as you dry. Dry your curls with:

1. Type 2 (Waves): a paper towel or cotton T-shirt.
2. Type 3 (Curls): microfiber towel or a cotton T-shirt.
3. Type 4 (Kinks): fiber towel, old satin pillowcase or a cotton T-shirt.

False: All of this information is based on old assumptions of women using “natural” hair products, which are useless to hair. Hair is dead and doesn’t know what is chemical or natural. We used to suggest microfiber towels but not anymore since the new technology of using shampoo-soluble products. These products create a protective seal on the hair, creating a glide to the hair and resisting friction damage, which this writer is suggesting. T-shirts are useless as well. The reason is so many women have used these techniques and have found that they are time-consuming and the hair eventually becomes damaged. Frizzy-haired women try so hard to have healthier hair by using these useless techniques when just cutting hair regularly and using shampoo-soluble products to make new growth healthier can make a huge difference.

6. Refresh throughout the day

All curls and waves can benefit from a mid-day and evening “spritz” of refreshing spray. You can find sprays in drug stores or even make your own. A popular refreshening spray is made with lavender essential oil and can be used on any curl type.

Boil two quarts of water and simmer for one hour; remove from heat, add five drops of pure lavender essential oil, and stir. Allow it to cool and pour into spray bottles. Bring a mini spray bottle in your purse or keep one at work. It’s a great way to freshen up your locks throughout the day. False: What a waste of time and money. HAIR IS DEAD!!! Oils break down and spritzes break down and have no redeeming qualities, unlike shampoo-soluble hair products. Spritzing only adds water to the hair. The oil breakdown and the water dissipate in dry, cold climates. Hair does not become refreshed like skin. It only responds to moisture or the lack thereof.

7. Avoid Humectants

Try to not use products with honey, glycerin, panthenol, and wheat protein. These items are great in the summer, attracting moisture to our hair when we need it. However, they do the opposite in the winter time.

False: None of these ingredients really matter. Climate moisture should not be relied upon for hair moisture. The best moisture is from your shower head. The key is to lock it in during the winter and block it out during the summer months. None of the ingredients listed above can make hair healthier or create moisture; they can only make the hair “feel” different, but have little redeeming value.

8. Get a Good Night’s Sleep

All curls can benefit from sleeping on a satin pillowcase, as curls and waves won’t dry out as quickly as they would with a cotton case. You may also opt to wrap your curls in a silk or satin bonnet or scarf instead. Either way, curls will be more defined and less frizzy. False: Satin can help avoid friction, which is the biggest cause of hair breakage and frizz, but it is expensive and unreliable. If hair does not have a gliding product on the cuticle, hair still can cause friction against one another. The scarves, satin pillowcases and bonnets only protect the outer layers of hair, not the hair bound under that layer. ALL of the hair needs to have a sealer that is shampoo soluble that can protect all of the hair. That used with a satin pillowcase is the optimum protection against friction. I don’t know about you, but I like the freedom of sleeping with my hair free instead of bound.

9. Cover Up!

When venturing into the great outdoors and the dry, cold elements, be sure to cover your curls with a crocheted hat or loose scarf. Don’t allow curls to be “pressed” down onto your scalp. Attempt to pile curls up and not flatten them. False: With the right hair products, this can be eliminated. The curls stay strong and defined with a light hood to cover up instead of crocheted caps. Your hair will have more bounce no matter what you wear on your head.

10. Keep Your Body Hydrated

Your hair and skin will thank you for the extra H2O intake during the winter months. Find a water bottle that you can refill and bring with you from home to work, school, visits with friends, etc. All curl types benefit from more water.  True

Final Thoughts

Remember, in the winter months, with cool weather outside and hot temperatures inside, your curls need TONS of moisture. Leave conditioner on longer in the shower, be sure to only co-wash (that goes for you too, wavies!), deep condition often, and use protective styles!

Fact: Co-washing is a new term used for not shampooing your hair regularly. Doing this creates scalp issues such as dirty scalp, and it has an aroma that the wearer can’t smell, but her partner can. Also, it creates buildup and eventual flaking. Using the ONLY shampoo-soluble product Moisture Block instead of using the water-based products and the techniques mentioned by naturally curly allows your hair to move, swing, shine, not frizz, maintain perfect moisture content, protect hair from heat, friction, breakage, and much, much more. Save yourself time, money and rituals that really don’t work. 

Q.

A.Your mum is wrong. Satin does allow the hair to slip rather than stay in place like cotton or other fabrics. However, satin is only one portion of controlling breakage. You need a product that allows the hair to glide with each other when sleeping, brushing your hair or when in wind. The only product that accomplishes this task from shampoo to shampoo is at this website www.gotfrizz.com. Read the posts and watch the videos. After that, you won’t be in the dark regarding what to do about your hair. Have the edge over others that won’t change

Q.

My hair is very dry after I wash it, and I regularly change my shampoo and conditioner. The conditioner is not making my hair oily; it is too frizzy not to use it! Are there any suggestions? As of now, it will not stay straight and gets very frizzy, but the next day my hair is extremely greasy and flat. I could not hold it on until another day! Is there any help? Thank you, guys. x

A. Apply jojoba oil to your roots after shampooing your hair—just a little. Shampooing out the oil without replenishment sends a signal to the brain that your scalp needs more sebum. The jojoba oil tricks that portion of the brain to think that there is enough and stops production.

Never apply conditioner to your roots, as it creates build-up. Always start at the ends and work very little at the top of your head. The ends have been on your head the longest, so they need the conditioner more.

In regards to damaging your hair with a flat iron: All hair products are water-soluble, including thermal controllers, so they break down after the first pass with the iron. To completely control your frizz and curl without damaging your hair, go to www.gotfrizz.com and watch the videos.

Hair breakage and jagged hairs…HELP, PLEASE!?

Q. Okay, the thing that is causing my frizz is the breakage and brittle ends. It is like the hair doesn’t curl the way it should. The strand of hair looks like a lightening bolt! It is so annoying because it is what’s keep my hair from being smooth and soft. And I don’t even straighten my hair! I put olive oil in it and cut it, but it still breaks and gets weird! What can I do? Please help: I’m desperate! No products please. Just household stuff!

A. Only you know why your hair is breaking due to the way you treat it. Hot irons, chemical applications done at home, using inferior hair products, not cutting your hair regularly, sleeping on your hair without protection from friction, poor diet…all of these issues and more can create breakage.

When you say just “household stuff” and no hair products, they will only do the same thing as store-bought products. They only coat the hair for a short time until climate changes and other damaging effects take over.

I have been a hair designer for 35 years. Most of the damage I have seen is brought about by the individual’s lack of understanding about what hair and hair products can and can’t do. All hair products, including “household stuff,” simply dilute or dissipate in a short period because the environment easily affects them.

There is a new innovative direction for hair. The product (Moisture Block) is the ONLY shampoo-soluble product for hair and is the only product that will make your hair feel better from shampoo to shampoo. This is not hype! Check out the videos on this site before taking novice advice.
