my hair just got thick and dry overnight. that WEN replenishing mist caused a lot of dryness to my hair and new growth. i experienced a little breakage. i need to buy some more deep conditioner and some Tresemme naturals to cowash with. i don't want to relax yet, so if i can get my hair under control either today or tomorrow, i will be good to go. all i did was just moisturize and seal and put my hair in a bun.
i am going to do a light dusting too.
i am so through with WEN!

I'm so glad to hear how much you like it! I want to get it for my mother. She has very coarse, color treated hair and its thinned out because its so dry. Their products look yummy! Have you tried the jar of Joe or any of the others?

These three (the peach aloe pomade, coconut mango moisturizer and the sprout) were the only ones I purchased. But I have heard good things about the jar of joe! I plan to make another purchase soon!!!!!!

Girl! it smells good, but it caused tangles and dryness. made my hair feel like straw.
i really mad that WEN didn't work for me.

Do the strands have little white bulbs on them? Are there more than 50-100 strands coming out a day? This might be regular shedding. However, if you see alot of breakage (little strands), then it may be too much manipulation to do Bantu knots every day. When I do my braidouts I try to do them every other day, so that I dont manipulate my hair too much. On the days that I dont rebraid my hair, I put my hair up in a crawl clip and sometimes flat twist the front of my hair. Is your hair fine?

It's not that much but I do think u am overanipulating. I will go wig shopping today or tomorrow. And my hair is fine, medium density. I am tryin to figure my porosity too. Not sure if I am porous or not. The water test was not easy to determine.

WEN...really? Do you use the other products or just the replenishing mist?

I'm so sorry Wen didn't work for you! I'm wondering if its because you used 613 instead of Fig or WVM because I know some are moisturizing than others. I honestly only used the replenishing mist on top of a moisturizer just to slick my hair or as a hair perfume after the gym. I've never had breakage issues with it or drying. I've also never used 613 alone only with another WEN condition or KC Humecto.

Again I'm sorry and I hope your hair feels better after deep conditioning.
 
Note to self:

Do NOT oil your hair with Castor Oil when your are half asleep. I could've sworn that I only oiled my ends last night, but I woke up this morning with a completely oiled head from root to tip! :lachen:
 
Does anyone else love CON Argan Oil intensive treatment? I was whipping my hair back and forth in the shower as the comb glided through.
 
Tried Darcy's Botanicals pumpkin seed conditioner as a DC. Mucho moisture and best detangling ever. I think I will dedicated myself to this for a while. Just hate the fact that it comes in a tube/squeeze bottle and not a jar. Not easy to get out.

It's been so long since I've really done my own hair in trying to figure out what to do. I think for sure I'm going to stick with my aphogee deep moisture shampoo though...no idea what else to use!
 
egg/ors mayo saved my hair. my mother relaxed it root to tip. i didn't know what was going on into i went to the bathroom to get in the shower to rinse. i can't believe she did that? makes me wonder when i was a child, was she relaxing my hair that way for touchups? she does her own touchups, but she has a pixie cut and gets her hair cut often. she always complains her hair thinning is due to age. but every time i give her some products for protein treatments and deep conditioning, her hair does much better.

anyway, i haven't explained to her the big mistake she made. she was tired and left right after. i could just go and kick her! i thought i was going to have to cut all of my hair off! now i will be repairing it for the rest of this hhj. i am not going to do any major trims. i am just going to alternate protein and moisture and trim as i go.

while she was doing my hair, she was talking about how she didn't know how to really take care of my hair when i was a little girl. she said if she had better knowledge, my hair could have been longer. i really need to school her on my daughter and how to handle natural hair.

Wow....I wouldn't let my mother touch my hair with a ten ft pole....her hair used to be shoulder/chin length but she washes it monthly, curls on hell degrees everyday and never conditions it. Now she has a little more than a twa....maybe ear length.....and she slaps a wig on....I'm sorry about your hair shortdub78

girl i will never ask her to do anything to my hair. she was rough too! never mess with somebody that is stuck on the good hair/bad hair type of thinking! she gets on me sometimes, saying i am hair obsessed, but gave me praise for growing my hair on my on. i don't think i am hair obsessed. i don't rely on a stylist to do my hair weekly. i do everything on my own, and i am trying to learn and figure out what is best for my hair.

i will just be going to a trusted professional or doing it myself next time around. i will be getting braids (trying to decide between Senegalese twists, or yarn braids) the end of Feb or March. so i hope that will help me stretch until April or May.

i wonder how often i should do the egg/mayo treatment? once a month? i will be using ORS Replenishing or ORS Mayo once a week. i had planned on doing a length check for this year, but forget it. i'm not in the mood anymore. i just dusted my ends and feel a little better about them. my bun feels a tiny bit thicker. i wonder if i should order some JBCO? my SO said he would buy me whatever i need tomorrow to get my hair back on track. he likes my hair long and would be upset if i had to cut. i don't even know what to ask for?
 
Woot woot! I finally gave myself a doobie!!!

I'm really going to have to take over doing my hair again
