Any Relaxed Heads Using Wen?

I started with the Sweet Almond Mint this week and I like it. Cowshed then kept the remoist Intensive treatment on for 24 hrs. Cowshed again. Sealed with Argon and coconut oil. This morning my hair is super soft! I am wondering though about all the manipulation with frequent cowashing though. Several full strands were in my comb. However my new growth feels fantastic and little to no breakage. I think it's a keeper! As my hair reaches shoulder length, I wonder how it will do if I ever try to straighten...not in my plans until September when I relax again and do a good trim. We'll see!

I hope the Vanilla Mint comes back this year!

WEN Fig is the bomb!!!

I didn't realize that I've never tried this one until this week. I always give a bottle to my mom and last time I gave her the FIG.

I've decided to make this a staple in my stash. Yes, it's THAT good. It's worth the price. My newgrowth is laid and my entire head feels like butta. Don't know what they put in this one, but I LOVE it!

I'm relaxed and using Wen has really changed my hair. Fig adds great moisture and Lavender is great too. I sound like a commercial, but I just love touching my hair because it's softer. And yes, I know I shouldn't be touching my hair all the time.

I've been using Fig for years I am going to try 613 tonight or tomorrow.

I lurked on this thread for weeks before ordering WEN. I ordered the Pomegranate starter kit and vowed to use it for a month so I could properly gauge how well it works. A month has passed and I am giving away most of my products to my mom, sister, and my husband (he's constantly "trying out" my stuff) because it's that good.

I have relaxed, just past shoulder length hair, and WEN has made my hair feel so soft and moisturized. I've tried Hairveda (which I LOVE), Shescentit (LOVE), and Darcy Botanicals (meh, except for the transitioning creme)...WEN has them all beat for me.

This is how I use it:

1. I do an oil rinse (JBCO) for several hours/overnight OR use Alter Ego on dry hair for a couple of hours. Sometimes I combine them, by slathering my hair with Alter Ego, then JBCO on top and use a color applicator bottle to get JBCO on my scalp. I put on a plastic cap and go about my business (in the house) for a few hours. I do this once a week.

2. After rinsing in the shower I follow the WEN directions exactly.

3. When I get out of the shower, I spray Aphogee Green Tea Keratin Leave-in throughout my hair.

4. I put a pump of WEN in my hand and mix it with a glycerin-based moisturizer (Wave Noveau, Curls Creme Brulee or Hairveda Whipped Ends). I distribute that through my hair as a leave-in moisturizer.

5. Seal with grapeseed oil before air drying.

6. If I'm bunning, I'll let it air dry completely and bun it. If I'm going to use my caruso steam rollers, I'll let it air dry 85 percent or so, blow dry, then roll. I wear my hair down once a month, maybe.

I work out several times a week and sweat a lot (especially in my head), so I usually wash my hair two or three times a week at least and I use WEN each time.

Hope that helps anyone who is on the fence.

BTW...my order of 613 arrived yesterday, so I plan to start using that to see how it compares. If it works as well for me as it does the 613 pushers (you know who you are), then I guess I"ll have to keep ordering it. I'm just glad to have finally found a regimen and product I think I can stick with. No more guesswork! Hooray!

I just got the fig and the lavender on auto delivery. Yikes. You pushers!

sunnieb you tried 613 yet... I haven't touched my FIG since I bought it. Soooo... that means I will be using up the Wen Fig because I still have about 1/4 of my gallon left

Ahhhhhhhh

I so heart 613.... will put them on auto next year

JJamiah - no, I haven't tried the 613 yet. Sounds like I need to!

I'm ordering some fig today. I might add a bottle.

Go ahead and add that bottle, you'll die once you use it. I will be there to grab the rest of the bottle. LOLOLOL

It is really really really THE B O M B baby for real!

613 or Fig? 613 is on flex pay. The fig has a 32oz for $55. I'm relaxed and stretching and I want some Wen to help me get through.

I loved my wen but now I have to use hair one till I get a new job. I hope it works.

Ive been using my WEN 613 every wash since I got it. (3 weeks) BUT I co-wash at least 2 x weekly.

My first thoughts are
1. It get my hair clean
2. I get great slip (the more I use it)
3. After a while it feels like I'm getting buildup.

I think I will keep Wen 613 as a "co-wash" but I will have to use my Curls Creme 1 x week to remove possible build up before I do my deep treatments and tea rinse.

Today is the first day I used my Curls Cream cleaser again and I am doing my deep condish now.

I will pick right back up with WEN 613 for my next co-wash. We'll see how it goes.

Will I buy it again after it runs out? Yeah probably. It's a large container and it lasts a long time. It makes co washing a no brainer and it does work well for quick cowash routines - no fuss with detangling @ 5 weeks post.

I'm freshly telaxed ill be using my Wen MC Sunday ill report back to this thread with my results. I plan on using it on dry hair for an hour or so

I am so in looovvveeee with WEN I don't have the words to fully describe it!!! When dry me and my daughter's hair feel like silk. I am scared to try anything else!! Our hair is thriving so well. Wen and a lil S-curl if needed S-curl sealed with Vatika oil is pure heaven. I am mad I slept on it so long! How do you like Ginger Pumpkin?? I think I want to try it too.

KaramelDiva1978 - The Ginger Pumpkin is what got me hooked on WEN!

I received it as a gift and couldn't believe the results. Even with all the WEN raves here, I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much for some doggone conditioner!

So far Fig is the best for me, but I keep hearing about the 613. I'll end up buying that one too!

OMG Another good review on Ginger Pumpkin!! Okay, QVC, here I come for the 16 oz bottle. I don't see myself going back to traditional shampoo anytime soon so I may as well stock up!

I'm thinking of putting my Wen MC on dry hair tonight and rinsing on the morning. Has anyone ever used wen overnight?

Bumping for help ...

I've used wen fig a few times. im not really feeling it. i feel a residue on my hair and it feels dry unless i add other moisturizer afterwards

Well I put when on hair slightly moist with black tea, twisted in 4 knots and will rinse in the morning I hope not to wake up with tangles

am I doing something wrong? I just put the stuff in my hair and then rinse right? I don't comb it through. I've also had more tangles when using it.

lamaria211 - hope it goes well for you!

I didn't feel like dc'ing tonight so I cowashed with WEN fig. Lovin' the tingly feeling as I airdry!

afroette - I cowashed tonight and combed the WEN through to my ends. That seems to promote the tingly clean feeling.

Also, be sure you thoroughly wet/rinse your hair before applying and splash some water on and really massage it in.

I'm going to repeat this weekly! Even though the tea had me up All night, I did house work

I think I posted this in another thread, but I'm going to phase out all of my cheapie conditioners (HE, Garnier) and go with WEN exclusively.

I've been cowashing with WEN regularly and I can't deny the fabulous results. I'll still dc weekly with my normal products, but WEN will be my cowashing condish.
