Wen Glossing Serum

I use the glossing serum when my hair is completely dry. I use only a half pea size. See, the styling creme IS a glossing serum. I just made a thread about the Bamboo styling creme. It's very different from the others including the 613 one. I find the glossing serum is good for creating a style you want to keep for a few days but I don't use it every day, it can be a bit drying. I feel I don't need to use a lot of products EVERY day. I only use leave in and styling creme every day, that's it. I need to cleanse often because I sweat in my sleep. Always have since I was a kid. I used to use silicone products before Wen but I did not like the way they felt on my hair. Silicone gave my hair an "unnatural" feel. My base regimen is just enough leave in for hydration and styling creme to protect from blow dryer. I don't use high hot setting too. I use medium setting so that I can blow it on my arm and it won't burn, I keep checking on my arm. I'm sure other posters can add their experiences here too. I use ONLY Wen on my hair and people look at it and wonder.....what is she doing to her hair, really. I had this one girl approach me in a supermarket deli line. She just walked up and was outright staring so I turned my head to look at her and I felt a bit flustered as I was about to say, can I help you? She said your hair is PERFECT! What did you do just come out of a salon? I laughed and said no I can't take the credit not can any salon, it's Wen. She said oh yeah I've heard of that, I'm gonna try it. I told her to come to QVC's site. Chaz always says something had to change. I did not buy products like volumizers and such, I would just get these way out deep conditioners that came in a big jar. Some were from Italy, some from South America and the list went on. Salons I would to to because my hair was not hydrated properly but on finding Wen I hit on it. Wow! This is kind of long, sorry. Just reminiscing. I'm sure someone will post more input. I always read the brochure they put in with the Wen items too.

Thanks sjk. I used the glossing serum on wet hair with my leave-in yesterday and on shower damp hair this morning. I didn't use the styling cream.

The shine from the GS was great, but that was it.

Anyone?

I use the glossing serum right before I use my hot air brush, so when it's about 80% dry.

It's ironic because I was just thinking about how the GS is one of the Wen products I can't live without - I'd actually probably take it over the VTS if I had to choose one finishing product.

When I first got it I would use it right after I styled my hair, particularly after using the flat iron - two pumps to add some shine and even then it felt weightless.

I don't think the GS should be used on wet hair, personally. It seems like a finishing product and as such performs better on hair that is more dry than not, at least for me, if that makes sense.

I wish I had some tips but I haven't had any luck with that product, sorry!

I have 3b curls and use about 1 pump maybe 2 on damp hair but before using the leave in conditioner. When I straighten my hair I use it the same way and when my hair is dry for added shine.

HoneyBrown,

Again, our hair is very different, but here goes -

First of all I'm at the start of an experiment based on the WEN site recommendations for my hair, so my cleanser is now - 1 st. 2/3 BGT + 1/3 TT. 2 nd. 2/3 FIG + 1/3 SHP.

NO CC leave in. Right out of shower 1 small pea 613 SC + 1 small pea SHP SC + 1 pump GS. Hair is good, really good, shiny, bouncy, full, & not dry at all.

How long can this last?
