How do you prime these? Lost instructions, pumped like 30 times and still not working? Gel comes out no problem but shampoo & conditioner no go?

To prime it, put a finger over the opening. Then, push the button repeatedly. By trapping the air from coming out, it will get the liquids to start flowing. Good luck!

Hold your finger over the opening to obstruct it and press the button a few times.

Add a thinner consistency conditioner and give it time to mix in with the thicker conditioner. It's amazing how well it will work then.

I'm not a conditioner user so can't answer that Holly. Company did recommend "thinning" something if you have trouble getting it to pump. No first hand experience though.

That is a close description of what I do and my hair type, and they didn't work for me. I live in north Texas where the humidity is not low. I think that has quite a bit to do with it. I think if you live in a very dry area you stand a better chance of it working. When I say they didn't work, I mean not even a tiny bit, rollers in, rollers left in for 30 minutes, rollers out, NOTHING, limp hair.

after asking to my hairdresser, she agrees with me that UltraSwim shampoo and conditioner make a good protective shield. I always wet my hair and apply the conditioner then put on my swim cap before I get into the pool. When I finish, I use the shampoo, wash twice and apply the conditioner. After llrtting it penetrate my hir, I rinse and apply a color protecting, moisturizing conditioner and again allow it to penetrate for good measure. I then rinse and style. I have been pled ith the results. the Ultra swim chelates or removes the chemicals and then the color conditioner helps moisturize my hair to keep it manageable and protect the color.

Hi... its like washing like when you shampoo your hair... instead you use conditioner.. you rub it in from scalp to your ends.. I massage my hair for about 10-15 mins and rinse it out..and then put leave in conditioner in.. but if you go to Youtube.. there are lots of videos about co washing.. but FYI.. I still use shampoo once in a while. Cheers!!!

I use the shampoo first,then the conditioner. The Conditioner needs to be left on minimal at least a minute. I leave it on for longer because it makes my scalp Tingly. (I like how it feels on my scalp). Then I towel dry my hair and apply this product which is like a mousse to the areas where I'm thinning. I just use 1 sqrt and massage it into my scalp. It usually sells as a three step treatment but I ran out of the activator(mousse)because I was applying it to my whole head instead of just the areas where I was thinning. I dont think it's quite as effective if you just use it all by itself. I believe the shampoo cleans and the conditioner stimulates and the activator activates. Well, that's what the bottles say. Hope this helps.

You might not be using enough product. You should use enough to have it thoroughly worked through your hair down to the roots, let it sit for a few minutes after massaging it in really well, then rinse thoroughly. Short hair should use around 3-4 pumps, then of course more for longer. My hair is halfway down my back and I use about 6-7 pumps.

You are right - no instructions were sent and I even checked with my hairdresser and she could not help. I only used it as a curling brush and it barely was hot enough to curl. I consider it a loss. Sorry I can't help.

If you fill the canister with water first it will primer faster make sure the handle between the 2 hoses is in the open position which is pushed down pump should be plugged in when priming you can find a how to video on YouTube

I get my capsules at amazon subscribe and save which is a good deal compared to CBTL's website . Thank you for your comment....I will try my machine again....it is a new machine and so I was trying to prime it....and no water came out. I tried mine about 10 times in 2 hours before I gave up. But I will try it again before I put it in the garage. And thanks for the tip on Bed Bath and Beyond.....they used to carry them at Target and I got a good deal when they closed the brand out there.

I have extremely fine, wavy (frizzy) and thin hair. That's why I use a cleansing condition and NO shampoos. I've learnt how to use them properly through trial and error. First, you need a larger amount than you'd use with regular shampoo or even conditioner. I have a bobbed hairstyle and use at least 8 pumps on well-wetted hair. I smoosh it all in at the beginning of my shower, then proceed to wash face (with a Clarisonic brush, so that's like 2 minutes), then I add a tiny amount of water to make it more milky than conditioner-y and do gentle rubbing on my scalp. This is because the product is breaking up styling products and sebum while it was sitting there. When you add a little water and move it around, you're helping to distribute product but also to move away buildup). Then, I leave it on still and wash/ shave body, brush nails, etc. My LAST step is rinsing it completely. It requires more rinse time. If you feel like it's still sort of in there, you didn't use enough. Start over but you won't need as much or as long. I almost never need the secondary go at it but I've been using cleansing conditioners for about 4 years. The only time shampoo is used on my hair is at the salon and I cringe the whole time.

First I start with clean skin & apply a serum & let that soak in. Then I apply a gel, I bought NuSkin face primer gel, put that on & mist my face with a little water from a spray bottle. There's a dial on the side to turn up the amp? Current? I turn it all the way up bc I use my unit for facial toning.Then I roll the galvanic unit starting from my nose outward. You might feel a very slight tingle/tiny shock when you first touch your face. I roll up & out from my nose to my hairline, about 2-3min whole face. I also roll the unit from base of my neck up to bottom of my chin. After I finish I wipe away the gel & put on moisturizer then makeup. I do this every other day. It's like exercise for the face, the benefits like toning up takes a few wks.

This spray does have a consistency like conditioner. It's amazing it actually does spray at all but it does..Will it not spray or is the pump broken?? You could try and run it under hot water...I would write to the seller.! It also has a very distinct smell...If you have the chance to smell one in a local drug store you might want to do that just to make sure you are getting an authenticproduct.

Make sure both pumps on top are working. They turn on independently every 6 seconds or so. Also you can use tongs or chop sticks to make sure all bubbles are off jellies. They do bunch up everyonce in a while till other pump kicks in and separates them;)

It's easy to prime. All you have to do is unscrew the top prime cap, pour in a gallon of water, and then screw the cap back on.If you have the pump close to the water source it will prime itself, but I never like to run pumps dry so might as well prime it.
