The silicone based sealers used by the hair factories coupled with my own experiences with other silicone based hair products lead me to do my own research which eventually helped me develop Blue Max Protective Sealer.

Awhile back another company had gotten ahold of some of the silicone treatment that their factory uses on the hair before shipping and sent it to some customers for testing and if I remember correctly the results weren't what they had hoped for. I am guessing that this might be due to the fact that once the hair is stripped of its cuticle it is very difficult to "restore" it once it has been through several washing cycles, exposure to the environment, etc.

The important thing is to use a silicone based product from the very first time you wash a new unit. This will help to seal the hair shaft, essentially acting as a replacement for the cuticle that was stripped from the hair during processing.
