Good Morning!
Had some time this morning before running out and felt inspired to post these instructions on how to use WEN, especially good for those that want to know (will read here versus searching the other websites or reading the booklet that comes with the product). I forgot about their suggestion to create a refresher spray between washes and have decided that is a great idea and will incorporate. HTH!
BTW - I just WEN'd my hair this morning (3x this week so far) and my hair looks amazingly full which is a Godsend for me because I have thinner strands. It is true, the more you use it, the better your hair looks. Oh, another thing, if you are a airdrier, your hair might take longer to dry. Mine does.
*********************************************
Create a Refresher Spray (Good idea right here!)
In a 6oz spray bottle mix 4 pumps of WEN Cleansing Conditioner, 2-4 drops of WEN Oil and 2 pumps of Sweet Almond Mint (or your favorite scent)Styling Crème. Use warm water initially to help mix ingredients and shake well before each use.
*********************************************
How to Use WEN
Start by rinsing hair thoroughly and completely for at least 1 minute. Apply 8-10 pumps to the crown of head, 8-10 pumps to nape/back of head. Massage vigorously into scalp for 2-3 minutes and add an extra splash of water to help evenly distribute through the ends. Now add remaining 10-20 pumps (depending on hair length) through the mid-shafts and ends, to thoroughly cleanse and hydrate the hair. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb and clip up for the remainder of the shower. Leave on for at least 3-5 minutes. The longer you leave it on the better for maximum results. Rinse thoroughly and completely for 1-2 minutes by massaging your scalp and running your fingers through to the ends.
The more product you use the better the results.
* For hair above your shoulders, use a minimum of 20 pumps.
* For hair down to your shoulders, use a minimum of 30 pumps
* For hair past your shoulders use a minimum of 40
Then apply 1-3 pumps of the Cleansing Conditioner as a leave-in conditioner to soaking wet hair, starting at the back of the head and working through to the ends. Immediately after, add 1-3 pumps of the Sweet Almond Mint (or your favorite WEN Styling Crème) to soaking wet hair starting at the back of the head and working thought to the ends. Let hair dry naturally, style or wrap a towel around your head to absorb moisture. Do not abrasively dry your head with a towel as this will stress the hair and cause it to frizz.
Additional Suggestions (and helpful info)
1. You can cleanse daily but when used properly you should only have to cleanse every 2-3 days. Our 16oz size should last you between 4-6 weeks.
2. For extra hydrating and conditioning, you can use the Cleansing Conditioner as an overnight deep hydrating mask treatment. Simply leave on the hair after you have cleansed, cover hair with a shower cap or plastic bag overnight, and rinse out thoroughly in the morning.
NOTE: This is why you don't have to purchase the Re-Moist Hydrating Mask @ $72 if you don't care to because you can use the WEN Conditioner just like it!
3. If you have curly or ethnic hair, use WEN Sweet Almond Mint, Tea Tree or Fig Oil. When applying your leave-in, mix 2-6 drops of WEN Oil to the Cleansing Conditioner first and then 2-6 drops of WEN Oil to the Sweet Almond Mint styling Crème. You may also need to increase the amount of WEN Oil and pumps of the Cleansing Conditioner and Styling Crème for different hair texture.
This is such a great post! Thanks! You should do one for MT/OCT
I think I'll dry air drying in a twist out first. 
This could be my crack. 
I kinda got it by accident. They got my order wrong and instead of just sending it back for what I had orginally ordered, I said forget it and ordered the other bottle instead. I had only really been using it as a leave in while I tried the lavender, fig, and tea tree, but it really was great last night.
They are pretty big so I shouldn't have to purchase anymore for awhile.
