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.

After shampoo. And b4 conditioner. Put a big glob on then add water carefully and distribute. I have very curly hair and it helps get knots out. Leave in 5 min if you can

You should use 13-15 pumps especially at first. First part where you natural part is and spray 2-3 pumps and then divide part just on the front of your head and spray the parts until you reach the 13-15 pumps--it really is a small amount. Then you massage the product into you scalp all over. I have used it for a while and am losing less hair and my hair fills thicker so I use like 12 pumps. There should have been an insert in your box that explained it all better than I can. Then just proceed with your normal styling products like I use spray gel. I hope that helps. lisa

I used a conditioner with it when I used it. I stopped as I found other products. There are many other new products that do the same thing for much less money and frequently with better results. Look around.

Hi Alicia M What is not said in any shampooer books is you need to flush out the tubes with clean water. The tubes get plugged up with soap. That is what a shampooer shop told me is mostly what they work on. I had the soap not come out of mine. Even after use it I whip off the white tip that the sell person told me to do. Times I had suck on the soap part to get it to work. Then I gave up and add soap to the main water. When I had a water pumps go bad is you get water on the floor and you are stuck. Because it will not suck it up. So it might be plugged tubes. I had nothing but trouble with one. I could not get one floor done. I had two years left on it. I got rid of it. It was the worse shampooer I ever had! Most trouble I had with this one is beaters stop working on me. Or the wheel would melt or bend for the beaters would stop. Best wishes on it and I hope it helped you out. Linda C

You put it on first and then a light amount of hair gel. Lightly use a comb to evenly distribute it. Practice makes perfect. But the product does work surprisingly. It's definitely worth the money. Good luck. I hope this helps

Sorry can't help u, mine never worked. When I tried to return it the company refunded my money and told me to keep it as a souvenir. I don't believe u need to use any gel as mine didn't come with any and should feel similar to a cat licking u.

Several comments on the Great Stuff BIG GAP Filler (similar product, but expands to greater than 1") list ways of cleaning the tube and nozzle with acetone for repeat uses. The key seems to be: clean while the product is still wet; if you wait until foam remnants have hardened, you're out of luck. /haven't used product myself yet; merely sharing info found on another Amazon page

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.

I personally run the water at my sink, wet both hands, and massage my WET hands through my hair.I will repeat this process sometimes as many as three times.it is at this point that I will grab a towel and then dry my hair, but not so much as to completely dry my hair .It is at that precise moment that I will reach for my comb. Depending on my mood, gel or no gel. And Wa, La!Perfection!

I would first start by double checking the condition of the Pumping unit before attempting any use. 1. Disassemble the Pump assembly where the magnetic fins spin. You should be able to remove the magnetic/plastic fanblade assembly. There is either a metal/plastic stick with two rubber tips used to help dampen any vibrations. If the pump wasn't taken care of, or "ran dry" for too long, the magnetic fan assembly may have warped making disassembly more difficult. 2. if all goes well, and you can in fact pull the pump's magnetic fan assembly out, or can freely spin it within the pump housing assembly, then you can try priming the unit by filling the canister. (do this outside or where overflow water will be caught) 3. I have just over filled my unit, and while waiting for the pump to start sucking in water, I've closed the "Out" hose valve. applied generous pumping of the prime button, then reopened the Out hose valve. This creates suction thus if no water is coming into the "In" hose valve you may have a obstruction. Make sure the canister is full of water before starting it up, made a huge difference in how long I waited for the water to begin flowing. The top half of the pump assembly itself needs to have some water in it, because to me, it seems like it doesn't do jack squat unless there is water in it. I'm not a major fan of the Cascade series pumps, but when it comes to customer service the manufacture I contacted directly helped me out in a pinch. There is a science to the Priming aspect of getting the unit going. I've noticed leaving the "Out" valve at the half off position, while priming, this helps pressure build up as the "In" hose begins to fill with water. The sudden opening of the "Out" valve causes the built up pressure to pull enough of that collected water in the "In" hose to make it to the pump assembly, and voila. it freaking starts working. ..after 30 minutes of trying"

i had the same problem and was not happy with the procedure. there is a youtube video that gives a demo and they used a curling iron that worked for them. i did not like the result and would not recommend this kit.

I never had your problem - I have had mine for a couple years and love it - got another tub so I can make larger batches. If yours does not freeze and you have followed all the directions to a T may I suggust your tub may be faulty. I read elsewhere that the gel inside it can go bad, don't know why but occasionally it does. May want to check that out.

Make sure your hair is dry to begin with. Let roller sit on steamer for 10 seconds so it has plenty of steam to get through all the hair. Roll it good and tight. Put the cap on the steamer for a couple seconds to get it hot and then clamp it on the roller. Then your hair is being steamed from both directions. Let it set in the rollers 20-30 min. The longer the better. Once you take the rollers out, put your hair dryer on the lowest setting and on COOL. The cool hair will set the curls so they will last longer. I have thick hair too and the weight of it can pull out the curls. You can also lightly hair spray the curls and use the cool setting on hair dryer to give the curls extra support. I LOVE these curlers. Can be a pain to get in the back side of your head but man the results are so worth it! My hair dresser has me bring my set every time because she loves the results too! It seems like they wouldn't work that well but they really do as long as you don't take them out too soon and you roll them tight. Good luck!

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

You have to prime the pump (numerous pushing of the button) to get your product to flow. Should there be A LOT of air in the container... Putting your finger over the hole where the product comes out and hitting the button helps back the air out and allows the liquid into the pump.
