Is anyone using Wen everyday?

Saramarie8587 · ‎02-25-2014

Hello everyone,

I am relatively new to the Wen world and I am curious to know if anyone uses it everyday or nearly everyday. I have thin hair with an oily scalp so I use the cucumber aloe formula and tend to have to wash it almost everyday with maybe one day off on the weekend. I use a blow dryer and one of Chaz's brushes to blow it out. I also use the cucumber aloe styling creme and have tried the bamboo green tea which I like as well.

I am trying to nurse my hair back to health after years of flat ironing and I just wanted to see if anyone is in the same boat as I am or has any advice.

Thank you! ${#emotions_dlg.biggrin}$

It sounds like we have similar hair. My hair had always been on the oily side. I'd have to wash it daily before WEN and that continued even after WEN (for two years). While I like how WEN makes my hair look and feel, I could never get that good second day hair even when using CA CC. It wasn't until I began using the oils that my scalp oil production normalized/stabilized and I can skip a day of cleansing now. I do an overnight scalp treatment several times a week. On the second day after cleansing, I still use a little dry shampoo to get some lift at the scalp, but that's fine with me and I see it as a big improvement.

Thank you, I appreciate the information. I have been considering trying the oils. What formula do you use/recommend?

It's really whatever you prefer. I have one bottle of Lavender that I'm trying to use up, but the rest of my stock is a mix of old and new CA and TT, plus some new SAM. Right now, I'm using TT more than anything, in order to prepare my hair and scalp the best I can to hopefully prevent any future loss from going under anesthesia in a few weeks.

To do an overnight oil treatment, lean your head back and apply about 4 droppersful to your scalp. Get the point of the dropper right down in there against your scalp, then move it as you dispense the oil. After you apply all the oil, go back and massage your scalp. If I'm going to be up for awhile to give it time to soak in, I'll just pile my hair up on top of my head and hold it with a clip/clamp. If I'm going right to bed, I'll wrap my head in a turbie towel and sleep with that on. Sometimes I'll cover my pillow with a hand towel, but it always ends up moving.

In May, I will have used Wen for 2 years. I have cleansed daily almost that whole time. I have just now this month started being able to skip a day between cleansings.

I've been cleansing daily recently. I usually get the best results when I do so.

Saramarie, like you and JLF I also have hair that tends toward oily although it has really stabilized in my 6 months of Wen usage. I almost always cleanse daily because I get the best results for styling that way, but I could skip a day now if I wanted to. Chaz always says use it as often as you like and many of us do. Also, like JLF said, try the oils which will REALLY help with your oil production! I love the SAM oil! :-)

I am a greasy gal myself and my saving grace is dry shampoo. It is the only way I can get two days per cleanse.

Yes, I am a daily washer. I have fine, thin hair down to my collar bone. It gets oily if I do not wash daily, and this has NOTHING to do with Wen or not. It always has.
