I ordered some of this online from an ebayer for $28.99 plus $10
shipping I think. I haven't used it yet tho, I played with putting a
lil bit on my RK hairs. but I didn't see much difference, that could be
user error tho
I have gotten burned on ebay way to many times! I am going to order mine from there site, besides if i done like it there's a money back guarantee! Also when you order from ebay you dont now if your getting the actual product, I read about a woman that would use a product like aveda and then fill the bottle back up with oil and water and then sell it. That would suck!
I am so excited!! EP claims there hair is treated with a ploymer cross-linking treatment. This is the frist product that use this same term. I wonder if this is what tit is. I am geting some. Maybe it can save the blond RK I have!
The place I ordered from on EBay also sells thru their salon website,
but I think they required a license to order from the salon website.
That's the only reason I chose EBay rather than buying at a salon. When
I used the product, it did behave as instructions on biolustre site
said it should (the hair got hard and stiff as it dried). But who
knows, maybe i didn't get the real product..?? or the right strength (maybe the bottle had something else mixed in).

I ordered it off of the website yesterday and have received no confirmation email. I only got a page right after I ordered with an order number on it. I accidently clicked away from that page before writing the number down and could not get back to it. I was trying to find out how long for shipping in their order tracker but you need that number so it was frustrating. I now have no way to track my order.
There is no email in the contact information, only a phone number. When you call it, it says all operators are busy, please leave a message, then the mailbox is full (no matter what time you call, day or night). I scoured the internet trying to find another number, and found another message board where a girl said she ordered it from the site 3 weeks ago had has received nothing yet. All her efforts to call have been the same as mine.
I just wanted to forewarn others about ordering directly from the company. I'm a little skeptical about a company you can't even reach! I hope I didn't just eat $50!!!

cherry, i haven't fully experimented with it yet. I tried a tiny bit on
some RK hair and it didn't do much for it. But i noticed the hair was
kindy crispy and i think maybe I didn't wash it all out. It did seem to
do something good to a small sample of some kinky hair. It seemed to
soften it up.
So I'm not saying it doesn't work, I still plan to try it on my natural
hair,and some other rough IH when I get time.
Yeah I was thinking about using it on my natural hair. My hair is even extra frizzy now from being braided for my weaves. Let me know how it does on your own hair.

Girls, I saved this post but I can't remember if I had saved this
link from an original BHM forum thread discussion or where it
was from as I don't usually go on the longhair forum????
It may be of some help.........

Re: Hi, I'm new here, has anyone used biolustre with any luck?
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------
Hi, I'm not exactly new here, I've been lurking for quite a while
but I've never posted since I never have anything new to
contribute! But I have used Biolustre, twice in fact.
I have kind of a love/hate relationship with it. Although it sounds
like the Aphogee treatment, it isn't, Aphogee is a protein
treatment and Biolustre is pure plastic. Polymers actually. If you
would like, I can post the ingredients for you. It's very difficult to
apply and if you are going to try it, you might want to find a
salon to do it for you, although I did do it myself. The first time I
applied it to dry hair (they recommend that for extremely
damaged hair, which I had). On dry hair, it starts sticking your
hair together almost immediately, it was hard to get it on evenly.
The second time, I applied it to wet hair and it was somewhat
easier. Then you have to dry it completely, the first time I used a
blow dryer and my arm got tired so I don't think I got it dry
enough. The second time, I got one of those nylon bonnet
attachments for my blowdryer and just sat with it on for an hour,
that got it really dry. At this stage, your hair is rock hard, it's
scary.
The worst part is washing it out. They tell you to wash with a
clarifying shampoo twice, but the first time I did it, I kept
washing and washing for a total of 5 times before I got the
excess out. And then after it dried, it was as dry as straw and I
eventually realized I hadn't gotten it all out. So I tried vinegar
rinses, different clarifying shampoos and finally found that
baking soda mixed in shampoo got it out. At that point (maybe a
week after I had first applied it) I finally liked it. But by then I had
found this board and was starting to try some of the more
natural products, like Morrocco Method, and had a lot of
problems with my hair sticking together. I finally figured out that
a lot of the natural products use essential oils, and the essential
oils were partially dissolving the polymers in the Biolustre. So
wanting to go all natural, I got the Biolustre out by washing
repeatedly with baking soda mixed in shampoo. Well, that was
REALLY bad for my hair and I have since discovered a much
better way to take the Biolustre out which I'll share with you if
you are still interested.
After a few weeks with the Biolustre gone, I realized I liked my
hair better with it in so I did it again (one bottle will give me 3
treatments on my shoulder-length hair). I just can't use any
natural products until it grows out. Right now I'm just COing with
White Rain and my hair looks great. Once I grow out all the
damage, I doubt I will use Biolustre again because I want to
use the natural products.
Like protein treatments I don't think this will make hair soft just stronger. You would still need to add moisture to the hair. I am hoping that it will make the indian hair I am going to bleach up stronger. Worth a try at least on all the blond RK I have laying around lol.

The description about "plastics" and "drying hard as a rock" sounds scary.
I wonder if their could be any negative affects of it mixing with shrinkie adhesive, glues, clogging up your microrings or breaking down wefts. I'm too chicken to try it.
I don't think it would cherry, Like I said this is the same description as the stuff EP uses on there soft wear line and I have used that in shrinks and links.
