Texture balm????

Kempokim — Sun, 02 Feb 2014 16:36:54 GMT

I have this in SAM. I think it came in a kit. I have ever tried it and am not even sure it would work in my hair. You don't hear much about this product. What do I do with it?

Just looked this up and watched video. I already use the oil as a finishing product....hmmm what to do with this.....I'll try it on my lips. Any other uses that were not mentioned in the video? I figured if anyone would know what to do with this it would be you ladies!

I use it on my hands before I go to bed. It works really well for that. Also, on my feet.

I think it's better for short hair when you want it more piecey or maybe spiky. I have a lg. Texture Balm that I keep on my nightstand to apply as lip balm before bed - haven't had dry or chapped lips all winter. It's also good on rough, dry elbows and heels.

OK I am going to try that I have long hair so I don't think it is the product for me.

I use it on my hair to smooth it out, on my lips as a balm and when my hands are really dry I rub some on my hands and mix it with my hand lotion to help seal in the moisture.

Forgot to mention...try it on your cuticles, too!

I love texture balm! I use it to smooth the front of my hair after blow drying, then take the remainder left on my hands to oomph up the back underneath area. Works really well!

My hair is below my shoulders and I use it regularly. It adds hold, not just gloss. I think it is great if you tend to be dry or have relaxed AA hair also, because it seals in moisture. With long or short hair you can use it for the piecy look. It make my hair look more like somebody with more skill than me styled it!

This balm is always in my arsenal. I have short assymetrical hair and works great for doing a piecey look. Also love it for cuticules.

Yes yes yes! It is one of my all time favorite hand creams, and really disappears into the hand and feet and doesn't leave a sticky layer but you can feel that protective beeswax/paraffin layer. Super great for cuticles and lips as mentioned! I ordered 3 or 4 of those kits with 'mini' balms just so I could keep it every where and in my purse.

If my hair gets windblown around, I rub it into my hands/fingertips and 'lightly stroke/brush" the wispy bits until they lay correct. Sometimes when I take my hair out of rollers, I then run my hand (with the product on my hand/fingers,) over and around the exact curl and let it 'cool/dry' a bit before breaking it apart, this really holds a curl and keeps my hair from being destroyed without it weighing anything down (until day 3, then you see extra weighdown in my hair when I use this product. Without it, I can make it to day 4 easy.) Don't 'overcoat' the curl, but a light 'reinforcement' really can help.

Of course it can be 'scrunched' into the ends/middles to make a look 'piecy.' Keep it away from roots.

FYI: My hair prefers Lavender WEN and can get weighed down easy, its fine to medium and not a lot of it. Now at least half gray (but colored.)

Hey WEN girls! I haven't been here in a while and hope you're all well!

This is one of the items he NEVER offers in a OTO or TSV. I really wish he would, even a mini size of it, so we can try it. He's been offering the same things lately, it would be nice to try something different once in awhile.

It actually works on smoothing hair and I use it as a lip gloss lol

I use it on my lips and cuticles. I also like it on my hair sometimes. I just put 2 swipes on my hand and rub my hands together. It works almost like a wax or pomade. It just smooths flyaways, adds some shine, and makes my layers look separated. I use it like hairspray because it keeps my hair where I want it. Hope this helps.
