QuoteReplyTopic: SEBASTIAN LAMINATES - Any opinions on this product?? Posted: January 12 2000 at 6:17am
Hi everyone! I just bought Sebastian Laminates Conditoner today and tried it. When I went to brush my hair while it was wet, it was hard to get a brush through it. I have very long hair down to my waist, so I can understand my hair isn't always easy to comb while wet.My question is, has anybody ever tried this stuff and how did you like it? So far I'm not sure about it. Am I not putting enough in my hair? I says it detangles your hair and leaves it soft. I'm not sure I agree.Thanks for any feedback you migh have.Sara

Hi Sara,I haven't used the product, but I do think it has silicones, and they are damaging over time. Some people have no problems with silicones, and others don't see any damage for a couple years sometimes. (Others have even said they have seen some damage right away, but I think there in the minority).I'm not sure that I would say that the silicone is making your hair hard to comb through, since when you first use a products with silicone it makes your hair smooth (usually). I would look for another conditioner.Hope this helps you,Holly

Hello,When you detangle your hair, are you starting at the bottom and wroking your way up, or are you just starting at the roots and brushing/combing down? Long hair is easier to detangle when you start at the bottom. That way, the tangles won't be pushed together as your brush/comb approaches the bottom. I would reccommend a wide tooth comb or a pick instaead of a brush if you can get one. I think that it's easier to be careful about your detangling when you use a comb. you might want to try picking the worst of the tangles carefully out with your fingers before you even pick up the comb. Also, are you piling your hair on top of your head when you wash it? Doing this tangles it.Erika> Hi everyone! I just bought Sebastian Laminates> Conditoner today and tried it.

I never had this much trouble brushing my hair while wet when I used this product, like I did the other day. It was like I had NO conditioner in my hair. Even my bangs were extremely hard to brush and they only come down to my eyebrows. I could also tell that when I was rinsing the conditioner out, my hair felt rough. It was like I didn't put enough in my hair, but I know I did. I put in like 2 palms full. No, I wasn't piling my hair up on the top of my hair.Who knows. Everbody's hair is different and responds differently to products. I guess my hair didn't like this product. Maybe it didn't have enough conditioning action in it. The only thing I've found lately that leaves my hair silky soft wet and dry is Biolage.I will try a wide tooth comb next time and see what happens.Thank you so much for your recommendations! I will try them.Sara
Sara W.,If you have fine hair, I wouldn't use this product at all. It contains silicones, which coat the hair and make it feel plastic-y. The temporary shine is not worth it in my book.I got rid of my Laminates line, because it seemed to be destroying my hair. And no, it never detangled my hair as well as other ordinary conditioners.Ally

It sounds like it's just the conditioner, then. I was just naming all the things I used to do when I was younger that made detangling my hair very difficult. Good luck.Erika> Hi Erika!> I always brush/detangle my hair from the bottom up. I> never had this much trouble brushing my hair while wet> when I used this product, like I did the other day.

But after you dry it, my hair gets all frizzy and after hearing others about having silicones, I think there are other better conditioners out there.Be
