Remoist

Arianny — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 18:22:18 GMT

Hi all. I was wondering if any of you use the remoist on your hair without cleansing first. I know Chaz says to cleanse first then remoist. But I cleanse in the morning before work and wouldn't be able to put the remoist on until nighttime. Do you need to put the remoist in right after cleansing, or would it be ok to put it on dry hair at night after cleansing in the morning? Thanks for your help.

Hi Arianny

yes, you can use the remoist on dry hair but I highly recommend you use it on wet hair after cleansing and leaving it on as long as possible....I do my remoist treatments on weekends.

From the beginning of using the remoist I always used it on dry hair and was happy with the results. I now use it after cleansing but I would use it on dry hair if need be.

Hi bruingirl! How long can you leave the remoist on and can you go out and run errands without looking like you have anything in your hair? I was thinking I could do a remoist treatment tomorrow since I cleanse my hair later in the afternoon on Saturdays, but I wouldn't be able to rinse it out until Sunday morning. And I usually am out going about my Saturday the rest of the day. What are your thoughts on that? Thank you for responding!

Thanks Beaches! I may try it on dry hair and see how that works for me.

You can leave Remoist in for as long as you are willing to go without washing your hair.

I've never put styling products in over Remoist, so I can't say my hair looks great with it in, but it doesn't ever look greasy or dirty. If nothing else, you could always put your hair in a ponytail or a bun that afternoon.

Thanks Chynna - yes, I guess putting it in a bun would be best so I wouldn't have to worry about how it looks.

Hi Arianny

If you do a remoist tomorrow afternoon and run errands I would suggest wearing your hair in a bun with a soft scrunchie...or in a twist with a clip...nothing too tight though. And yes rinse, rinse, rinse on Sunday morning.

Arianny, I think it would probably be fine to cleanse your hair in the morning and then do a remoist at night.

I'd suggest that you wet your hair first. It makes it easier to apply the remoist and you don't need to use as much. Some people "prime" their hair with CC first before adding the remoist (in Wen 101, there's a thread on this in the re-moist section).

Like bruingirl, I always do my remoist treatments on the weekends and try to keep the re-moist on as long as possible (12-24 hours). -- If I absolutely have to run an errand I just put on a baseball cap.

Enjoy!!!

I feel like I wasted money on this product. I like Wen, use it exclusively. But, who has time to wash their hair, put on this product, spend the night, or spend the day leaving it on?? Then you have to wash your hair again.

I don't have such a luxury. I'll use the oils as I have and sleep in it. But at least I don't have to wash my hair first. I'm very annoyed about this product.

Another thing. I've tried it twice and didn't notice any difference from the oils. I would warn anyone on the fence, save your money.

Ceci, I'm sorry the remoist isn't working for you. Just one thought - if you cleanse your hair at night before you put the Remoist in, you don't have to cleanse in the morning, just rinse. That would eliminate a step and you might see better results from it. It also will work if left in for 30-60 min, although you get better results the longer it's in.

Ceci, I'm sorry the remoist hasn't worked for you.

I have thin/fine hair and so my remoist prep time is only 5-7 minutes at most. I almost always do my remoist on the weekend so that I can keep it in my hair as long as possible.

In the evening, I get in the shower, get my hair wet and then put 2 pumps of CA (from a 16oz bottle) into my hair. I massage it into my scalp for about 2 minutes and then wash it right out. I use the CA because that's the most clarifying formula. My hair "squeaks" so I know that it's clean. -- Then I just add the remoist to my hair and I'm done for the night. The following day I keep it in as long as possible before cleansing my hair.

A I understand it, the remoist is more of a coating for your hair. While some of the oils do penetrate the hair shaft, others just stay on the outside of the hair shaft. So a lot of the ingredients will wash away over the course of a few cleansings (this isn't like the amino acid complex that actually binds to the protein structure of your hair). So that's why it's important to use the remoist on a regular basis (e.g. every 1-2 weeks).

Ceci, since the remoist special was on March 15th, you still have time to return it. I think QVC will charge you about $7 for the return shipping, but you would still get most of your money back since the remoist/comb duo cost about $60 plus shipping.

Best of luck!!

I didn't notice any difference when I used it as directed either. The only time I noticed a difference in my hair with it is when I use it as a leave-in- and so much easier! I just simply cleanse, squeeze excess water out of my hair and then apply about a nickel (I have long hair) size amount to 2/3 the length of my hair and let dry. To me, it is amazing as a leave in and essentially worthless as a deep conditioner. Since I only use that small amount every time I cleanse (once every two or three days) that big tub will last a long time so it is totally worth the cost to me. I don't use anything else in my hair (no SC, CC as a leave in, oils, nothing) when I use the remoist as a leave in.

I use Remoist as my leave-in. I used it on "dirty" hair this morning, along with Lavender Oil.

I moistened my hair in the shower with wet hands. When I got out of the shower, I used a pea-sized amount of ReMoist with a drop of oil.

I liked the results. My hair was soft and shiny and my curls were defined.
