My WEN experience. How I used it and how it went down….

[vevster]

I have had 3 small bottles of the Wen Cleansing cream for weeks now. Today, curiosity finally got the best of me and even though I am a zillion weeks post and in desperate need of a touch up I decided to try my WEN products.

I used the tea tree on my scalp and hair as a pre poo w/ a hot steamy turbie towel and plastic cap. I must have let this on for at least 30 minutes while I did chores etc. The cream was heavy and thick as it went on which was heartening to me because I have SO much new growth

I then went to the shower to rinse… LOVE My hair was so soft and detangled! I was really happy with that.

I then ‘washed’ my hair w/ FIG(which does smell like cherry cough syrup) and rinsed. I stepped out of the shower, towel dried, and then applied more FIG to use as a deep condish 15 minutes under my heat cap.

I rinsed and my hair was still tangle free. I then went to set. I used a few drops of my Aveda serum (as always) with my water filled spray bottle and it was an effortless set.

As a sidebar, I also noticed that lengthwise I have graduated to ALL GRAY rollers…. I ran out and had to use purples in the front.

I’m under the Pibbs now, but I can see why there are so many WEN Friends on this board!!!

THE END

Thanks for the review vevster and I'm happy to hear that you've gotten great results with WEN. I like the way you've used it too so thanks for the additional ideas on how we can use it.Tthis will help me stretch my relaxer a little longer this time I think.

Gymfreak and a few other ladies have me curious about the Sweet Almond Mint...:scratchch

 

[Eisani]

I feel like this when y'all talk about WEN oke:. I need more products like I need a hole in my head. It doesn't help I see the infomercial EVERY. freaking. morning.

Yes, my hair was not stressed at all.

NO SHEDDING for me in the shower....

 

[MzRhonda]

I'm glad you WEN.

I just finished WEN'ing and am sitting with my hair wrapped to air dry over night and style in the morning.

My shedding is down to a minimum, my hair is healthier (and so is my daughters) and my color is lasting much longer.

The set for ethnic hair. It has tea tree, sweet almond mint, cucumber aloe, and
fig in 16 oz bottles. WOOOT!!!

Girl tell me about it JN. I have my hair cornrowed now and won't be undoing them until the end of the month so I think I'll use my WEN then. I am of course, collecting ideas on how to use my WEN conditioners when I finally take these cornrows down. I have added some fig WEN to some Rehydrant spray I have in a bottle for my daily moisturizer though. My hair is softer to the touch since I added it.

I'm pouting because i want the Lavendar. I think i'm going to order the small bottle tonight if QVC has it.

Girl.... it's awesome. Seriously. And I've NEVER seen the infomercial.

Does it smell like flowers or medicine? I love the aroma of the essential oils and I was wondering if it was like this.

I'm going to try the Sweet Almond Mint.

What is in the fig that gives it the cough syrup smell?

That is the only negative, but I can deal with it...

I promise after consist use you won't even smell/notice it. I think the Wen takes over the brain after a certain point

I don't think it's as flowery/lavendery (lol) as we would hope. I think Miss January Noir can fill us in on the smell...

 

[Aggie]

Believe it or not but the Lavender scent is my favorite of the three that I have, next would be the tea tree and then the Fig. Now I want the almond mint one next.

I used sweet almond mint and it is heavenly. I was initially concerned b/c after I ordered it, I read a few ladies saying the fig and lavender were best for 4a/b hair. Someone even mentioned that it didn't work well for them. However, I am 4b and\had the same excellent results that everyone else had with fig/lavender and I was thrilled with the scent ! HTH!

I dunno how to describe the Lavender. I have never smelled Lavender essential oils before so I don't know if it smells like that.

Fig is my I like the Lavender just fine so I am interested in the Sweet Almond Mint. Does anyone know if the Conditioner smells like the Texture Balm? I have the Sweet Almond Mint Texture Balm and it really doesn't have a scent to me.

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

The sweet almond mint is awesome. This is what got me hooked.

 

[Toy]

Ya'll need to stop, gon have me buying the almond mint!!

 

[devin]

Sounds wonderful! I was just saying on the Wen thread how I am trying to resist and now this post....awww man I am doomed!

 

[january noir]

Ordered a 6oz set that includes the Sweet Almond Mint, Cucumber Aloe and the Lavendar (I am almost out of the Lavender so this will be good).

I just Wen'd this morning before work with Lavender (hair drying now while I enjoy a cup of coffee) I used the Styling Creme and will put my hair up in my regular protective style.
