I think I'm throwing in the towel with Remoist

Wenderful — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 08:20:13 GMT

I have tried it several times, gone through 3 jars of it. I have tried priming my hair, not priming my hair. I have tried leaving it on for 45 minutes and leaving it on all night. It just doesn't do anything for me. I will stick to my oil treatments instead. Anyone else not love Remoist?

Because my hair is not chemically treated remoist was too much for me. Even the oils I use sparingly. However, I use remoist as my eye, upper lip & neck treatments. It is super moisturizing & dries down beautifully! Works as well as any other treatment products I've used.

I can't say that I've noticed much of a difference with my hair. I only do it every few weeks but I do leave it in all night. My older daughter, on the other hand, after leaving it in just an hour I notice a huge difference with her hair. It's so much shiner, smooth and brushing it is like butter. Her hair is already thick and shiny where mine is thin and fine. It just seems so unfair lol It might just be the formula, we have POM. The POM CC works great for me though...

I get better results from using the Fig CC as a mask. I'm finishing my ReMoist by using it as a leave-in. I love how soft it makes my course hair, especially when I add oil to it!

I feel I get much better results from oil treatments and coconut oil. I try to do each once a week. I've seen much more growth from using the oils and the coconut oil makes my hair look amazing.

It didn't do anything more for my hair either. I even slept with it on a couple of times.

I probably will not get it again.

I amassed a collection of Re-moist from buying multiples of a TSV a couple of years ago. My hair doesn't get terribly dry. It fine texture, medium thickness. I was doing Re-moist treatments regularly because I had the stuff, not because I needed to repair anything. I ended up giving several jars to my daughter and now I only do them when I get a color/heavy highlighting service done. I'm almost out of them and probably won't reorder. On a daily basis, I get plenty of moisture from my CC's and overnight oil treatments 2-3 times per week. If I ever have a problem, I think leaving some CC on longer will do the trick for me.

Nope...I have tried it and did not see a big difference....the oils are my saving grace!

I have honestly never used it as directed, but I have used it as a leave in and it was okay, and I have left it in for about fifteen minutes. It just isn't my deal to leave something on my hair that long/sleep in it damp. I am saving it for someday.

If I foiled my hair again or it got too much sun then I might be desperate enough to try it but my hair looks and feels fine so it sits in a closet waiting for someday. Or waiting to trade with someone who loves it. Or give it away next time I clean house. It is a good size for a doorstop.

I can tell a slight difference with the remoist. I do like the oils better.

Before Wen I used other intensive conditioners as an overnight treatment. I like the remoist and also use it as an overnight treatment. I really like it and believe it just contributes to the condition of my hair. Although, the Wen oils are also a great overnight treatment and something that I never used before Wen. Not sure how many Wenners did use other oils on their hair before Wen but I didn't.

Susan, I used a number of different oils on my hair prior to Wen, especially when I first went natural (got rid of the relaxer).

None of them compare to the Wen Treatment Oils, especially the Tea Tree! The last time it was backordered, I decided to wait it out and make my own blend. I ended up getting it from Amazon.

I would not be surprised if other Wenners also used oils and may actually like them almost as much as Wen oils. Although, I am sure that it requires a little bit of experimentation to get the right formula.

I had used other oils before Wen, and they definitely did not compare to what the Wen oils do for my hair. I believe the reason is that the Wen oils are a mixture of different kinds of oil mixed together for maximum treatment. My hair is very thick and quite dry. I use TT for my first cleanse, and TT on my scalp with a mixture of fig and 613 on the length of my hair, and also a little mixture of fig and 613 and my leave-in, along with the GS, some oil, SC, and mousse. My hair clearly needs lots of moisture but the Remoist just doesn't work for me the way the oil does.

I only really notice a difference when I use it as a leave in (I don't use the CC as a leave in). That works well for me. As a deep conditioner it really didn't do anything. Coconut oil works wayyy better as a deep conditioner for my hair.

Remoist is great for me, but I still have several inches of poo hair which is where I use it. Works best applied on wet hair - for a long time I didn't know that!

I NEED me some 613 oil !!! Need it SOON !!! Need LOTS !!! Need it on A.D. !!!

Thanks to it being suggested here on the forum, I have started using a very small amount of the remoist as a leave-in instead of the CC. After that is use a little SC and GS. My hair is short so it doesn't take much. It makes my hair so soft and really shines.
