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

I was using dry ice to cool them, getting them very coldand I would say you need to change them every 30 min or so. Make sure you follow the directions and wet the hair. Especially if the hair is really thick or else it wont work well enough. If you want to contact me I am done with the ones I bought and would sell them to you discounted. Robert_h_reeves@yahoo.comYou definitely need more then one. I would say at least three. The fit well with the chin strap. Also, you should use then about 20 min before and for a good while after you receive the chemo. The longer after the better as your body filters out the chemo lowering the amount in your blood.

I have only used the shampoo and conditioner. I don't use gel. I am sure it will react like any other gel.

You prime it by pumping several times. Hold a cup underneath. It is generally recommended to put it half way in, pump until primed, then put I the rest of the way and screw it on.

Same problem here--all I got after 30 minutes was the exact same pre-chilled liquid I put in it. And tub was frozen solid and I started the machine immediately. Used 2% milk plus cream. Disappointing.

The company linked me to a utube video on how to do it but I could never get mine to work either. I went to tonerpals.com and bought already refilled ones for about 26.00.

I had the same complaint and an email to the company got only the same non-instruction sheet that came with it which was no help at all. I am using this (and loving it) the same way as I have every other steam setter: Put water in the cup to the line. Use distilled water only. Flip the switch on the steamer to the first line. Once it starts steaming move the switch to the second line. It should start making a clicking noise. Put one roller on and leave it for 15-30 seconds. Don't leave them on too long or they get soggy and will end up making your hair wet. If the roller is too wet, try shaking out the excess water. Take the roller off and roller up your hair. Put the cover over the roller. You can hold the cover over the steamer for a few seconds but I find it makes a crimp in my hair. I have fine hair that is hard to curl so I leave the rollers in for 20-30 minutes before taking them out. You'll have to see what works for your hair. Some suggestions: Don't use tap water. It will end up ruining the steamer. Don't leave the steamer in the water. Once you are done, turn it off and take the steamer out of the water. I also turn it upside and shake out any excess water. Hope this helps.

Hi Shirl, sorry to hear about your results. I've been using this relaxer for years. I have no complaints and won't use any other relaxer!!! Can you share a little more about what you did after you applied the relaxer? How long did you leave it in? Did you use the "Sustenance" conditioner after rinsing the relaxer out? And followed with the "Normalizing Shampoo"? I would give it another try and maybe allow a stylist to do it for you. I also use it as a texturizer on my husband and it curls up after I'm done. I hope this helped!

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.

I did the same things you have done & my bottle worked perfectly. Contact Cerave & maybe they can help or will send you a new bottle.

Hi There! They do not come out easily when they are installed properly for the first time with even rows and proper amount of your hair on them (I had my roommate do them.) When I had them retaped and put them back in they fell out more easily, but this I attribute to the brand of tape I used (I got from Sally's.) They so far had lasted about three months (two installs) and I barely noticed wear at all. I only washed them about twice a week though, so I think this helped along with using conditioner each time. Mostly I used dry shampoo on my own hair and this worked wonders to help make them last. All in all I was very satisfied. I also bought the Orange solvent to help get them out myself, which really aided in the removal of the glue from my hair, so I would recommend that! I would also recommend getting this color and the next color down for a more natural look if you are a natural blonde like myself. I used the darker color on the underside of my hair and everyone said how natural it looked when I told them they were extensions!

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.

I agree with Dale- I think you may be using too much. 1 to 2 pumps is perfect! I have very long hair (to the bottom of my back) and I use 2 pumps max. I personally use it throughout my hair starting with the ends going up to the roots to give it more of a relaxed voluminous wavy look. Also, try using it when your hair is still damp, then blow dry and style it! This adds really nice volume as well! :) Good luck! Xoxox

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.

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!
