WEN Mango/Coconut Review

GreenEyedJen · Jun 13, 2012

SOOOOOOOO...both my orders of Wen should be here tomorrow! I'm so excited. I got the MC from QVC and the SAM set from the Wen website. I just got the best braidout of my life today, but I might sacrifice it because I doubt I'll be able to wait to use my stuff.

613 on qvc now. Two flex pays of 30 for the 32 oz.

Blasted...I just ordered it and on auto-delivery too. :lol:

JJamiah · Jun 13, 2012

THE GREAT thing about 613 is I can use it two times then off one time and my hair still feels the effect of it. I will use 613 week 1 & 2 and then the regular Wen Fig/GP mix. MY hair feels so good.

Yet since 613, I am lighter on the other DC's I use. I am just ubber impressed with this product. I think all you ladies who ordered it will be pleased.

It melts your hair and leaves it so MOISTURIZED!

So my experience last night with the MC was so so. It didn't have enough slip for me and kind of made my hair feel tangled. It wasn't tangled, but it wasn't easy to run my hands through. After I finished the process, added a bit back in, and air dried (like I always do), my hair felt pretty much the same as it normally does. It felt kind of dry, wiry, crispy. I will continue to try the MC in the future, but I'm going to try Fig next since that is supposed to be the best type for my hair.

I'm actually testing Fig out on a section of my hair right now to see if it will produce different results. Will report back later on how this goes.

Maybe my hair just needs more wash sessions to receive the moisture these products are supposed to give it :ohwell:

JJamiah · Jun 13, 2012

^^^^ Have you used a cleasning conditioner before?

ThatJerseyGirl · Jun 13, 2012

I just wish that he would have sistas with a variety of kinks, who rock the wash n go's, as models, to demonstrate how to apply, etc.

JJamiah - do u use a small amount of the 613 as a leave in?

JJamiah · Jun 13, 2012

I did last time. I guess I like the Dudley's PCA Moisture retainer a lot. So I am a little biased.

ALL I KNOW IS after using it, I really don't need a leave in that is moisture, so I just add a little spray of Aphogee Leave in to kinda balance it off.

Ladies who are new to cleansing conditioners please give yourself the full 30 days to give a full chance if it isn't working for you. Honestly it took me a few months to get it right :nono:

I just was using it wrong. I was missing that splash of water. After I got the hang of it, it was absolutely amazing.

so1913 · Jun 13, 2012

Hey ladies,

I just can't get with the scent of the new Summer Mango Coconut

I'm pretty much finishing off my second bottle and there will be no more repurchasing of this one for me. The scent is just too strong and to artificial for me. I was expecting a more refreshing tropical scent. I loved all the other seasonal and expected this one to be my fav, but after giving it a fair shot, while performance wise its ok, but I don't feel it was as moisturizing as the other seasonals. I can't wait for the return of the Fall Ginger Pumpkin!

Now 613, I'm a huge fan of and can't wait for my order of the new replenishing to come in to try! It will be my first time trying any of the replenishing mists. I was fortunate enough to get in on the One Time Only deal the other night as well as well as the 5 easy payments.

KPH · Jun 13, 2012

Make sure you clarify before using to get all the love it has to give :lol:

fluffyforever · Jun 13, 2012

Idk, my hair is so picky and stubborn. I won't give up though. I plan on using up all of the Fig for sure since that seems to be the most raved about. And the MC will be thoroughly tried and tested during my 30 day window.

It's my first time using a cleansing conditioner. I know there are clear directions for uses, but does anyone have results applying to dry/damp hair? I just feel that once my hair is really wet, it doesn't want to accept products.

I did clarify too.

JJamiah · Jun 13, 2012

No, I find with WEN or Hair One my hair has to be ubber wet.

Make sure you use enough product, and rub it in, then splash the water. It should foam. I honestly haven't used my MC. It is on my dresser but, I have several containers open so I need to use them up first. Fig is great too, I mixed my GP with it for a more moisturizing effect since I didn't like the GP at all. :nono:

MissRissa · Jun 14, 2012

so y'all know i'm pissed about the 5 easy pays for 11. i dont go on the forum for a few hours and miss everything. i was thinking about missing the 613 with my fig. although my fig is super moisturizing (i left it in for like an hour the other day unintentionally and i started to get that mushy feeling), i hate the smell.

Yeah I'm Still sad about missing that 5 pay day.

Can someone put it on blast if it comes up again?

so1913 · Jun 14, 2012

I really want to use the fig formulation, it was the first one I tried years ago, but I HATED the scent

I've stuck with 613 and the seasonals because I figure they are the next moisturizing. The only other original formula I have tried was Pomegranate, and again, the scent reminded me of what I remembered from fig. I decided to give Tea Tree a try since they were offering the 5 easy pay on Monday.

I got the same feeling when I first used Fig, and it actually turned me away from cowashing for a while (other conditioners I tried didn't help the matter). I love the 613 because I don't get that feeling, my hair feels moisturized but not like limp spaghetti. I'm learning from reading how others have used it that I may be able to reincorporate the Fig into my regimen.

GreenEyedJen · Jun 14, 2012

I got my MC and SAM today! The MC smells good, but I can't smell the mango...it reminds me of old school black hair products. Very coconutty. The SAM on the other hand...blah. It smells like Vicks. I'm still excited to try them, though. I will report back after my shower tomorrow!

BrownBetty · Jun 15, 2012

You all are tempting me to go back to Wen. Last time I used it was in 2007 - 2008. I stopped because I got tired of ordering it. I wish Sephora would carry it. It would make it easier.

I am thinking about the gallon of Fig and 613. They are calling my name.... d#mn it I missed that 5 pay.

Lymegreen · Jun 15, 2012

I think I'm starting to get tempted to try wen. I have been looking for a 'shampoo' and just bought some Giovanni 5050 and tea tree.

hmmm... I'm going to wait until I give those a try and IF they don't work then WEN in my next stop.

JerriBlank · Jun 15, 2012

So the 613 is a no go for this Wen head. That's what I get for cheating on my Fig.
I'm a natural 4a/b,by the way.
I find the fig to be more moisturizing,and the killer for me is that I've dc'ed 2x w/the 613, and gotten major headaches after each time. Da hell?
This has never,ever happened w/the fig,and I've left that on for up to an entire day,maybe more when dc'ing. Ugh,i'm kinda upset,but the 613 is still a good cc,and my hair is definitely moisturized. I guess I'll finish it off as just a cc,but I'm super bummed that It's not as versatile for me as the fig has been over the years. Oh well. At least I tried it.

oke:

I used it the same way I used my Wen leaving it in for 8 minutes before rinsing. I didn't actually DC with it. I still used my normal DC. I just substitute this for my shampoo.

Awww So sorry it didn't work for you.

Solitude · Jun 15, 2012

My order of 613 cleansing cream and mists came today! I'm off so I was waiting for the UPS man. They smell soooo good!!! I'm about to try them now.

I also forgot I had a five piece set on auto-delivery :-/. I might let it ship to me because it will have the seasonal formula in it. Not sure yet.

Loves Harmony · Jun 17, 2012

Ok I tried the Fig conditioner. I love it. My scalp feel like it can breathe. My hair is so so soft. Thinking about making a purchase.

ajw827 · Jun 17, 2012

Yeah, Fig is the most moisturizing I have ever had. The only bad thing about Fig is that my hair is so soft that I keep touching it, which is not good.

I prefer the mango coconut smell though. Fig is a little medicinal, while mango coconut is just heaven.

candita · Jun 17, 2012

Good grief, I still have half a gallon of the Fig but I'm watching the WEN hour on QVC right now and I'm feeling signs of weakness

lwilliams1922 · Jun 17, 2012

I got the 613 the other day.

I was torn I wanted to hate it and equally wanted to adore it. I found it just ok though. It was similar to the Fig for me, only the vanilla scent was a bit more appealing than the fig.
braided in 5 braids like I normally do.

Then the next day after it was dry I decided to mix a few squirts with some Scurl and use that as a leave in before doing 10 twists. That was just ok as well. So I understand as a 4a natural the search for moisture is eternal quest. I just didn't get the hairgasm like others experienced.

I'm not going to send it back. I'll finish the bottle but at $70 with out the big 'O' I'm not sure I'd buy it again. I might try the 613 mist if It goes on sale though. Or maybe I should try the mango/coconut??

candita What's on sale?

JJamiah · Jun 17, 2012

I still have about 1/3 of the fig gallon left, I am a 613 ride or die chick :yep:

I have Pomegrante, Mango Coconut & Vanilla mint which I have yet to try. So I am not in a rush to buy anything else.
