Help Using Treatment Oils

Ladygolighty41 — Mon, 23 Mar 2015 18:53:21 GMT

Hi everyone,

I've been using Wen since this summer and finally took the plunge and ordered the treatment oil and remoist kit combo kit when it was on EP a few weeks ago. I'm curious to know what do you most of you do with the oil. Do you uses them with the remoist? I did that and today my hair was a big soft mess of limp locks. I heard on the shows this weekend some of the women use the oils 4 times a week. Any tips or tricks for using te oils would be appreciated. TIA.

The oils are used for overnight scalp treatments. Take the dropper and glide it across front right slowly dispensing the oil directly on your scalp. Do both sides in front and on the back and then gently massage it into your scalp. I also use the oils on my cutitcles, in my foot bath(tea tree)I use it on skin after showering while skin is still damp, I mix it with my Wen lotion.

I use the oil 2 times per week. I put it on my scalp & massage in & comb with the Wen comb. I leave it on all night & cleanse my hair the next day. I just bought the remoist & used it overnight but did not like having it in my hair all night. I have only used it one other time since. I used it like a regular conditioner would be used on my hair after I did a root touchup. My hair was really shiny. If I use it as a hair mask again I will put it on when I get up in the morning & cleanse my hair later in the day.

I think oil scalp (+hair) treatment and re-moist should be used separately and on different days.

Oil is the best to put on your scalp only and rub it in, spreading with your fingers or Wen brush down to your hair ends. Overnight, on dry hair, wash it off with CC in the morning, or later in the next day.

Re-moist is also very powerful (hair) treatment - moisturizing mask. This one is for your hair. This one to be used on clean, washed, wet hair. Overnight or for a few hours. Rinse it off in the shower, do not wash it off with CC.

I actually prefer the oils over the remoist for adding moisture to my hair. I apply 4 full droppers to my scalp and massage it in. I also like to add some oil to the midshaft and ends of my hair for extra moisture. I cleanse the oils out in the morning.

Me too. The remoist is okay but I prefer the oils as well.

Are the oils all for different purposes? It seems from reading here that TT is often used for thinning and/or fine hair but think I might have also heard on Wen shows that it is an over-all excellent scalp treatment. I do recall that LR used TT oil. I was just wondering if the others all have different results? Guess I can do some research on them by reading through product descriptions.

I have WWC, Lavender and TT oils. They are all great! TT smells very "medicinal", because of what's in it, and rightly so! Those are very powerful and healing ingredients, and I put a lot of emphasis on TT oil now. Some people hate TT's smell. For me it smells okay, but I do enjoy using WWC by far better, because it smells so good! I ordered Lilac Oil, cant' wait to use it too!

Good morning. I am going to jump on here with a question of my own about the treatment oils rather than start a new conversation which I was about to. I am new to WEN and am loving it. I tried the TT oil and the Lavender oil on my scalp. My scalp felt so soothed and refreshed. Loved that. And my hair was super soft after cleansing. Question however... After I used the oils and used the CC I noticed a lot of hair in my drain. Much more than when I just use the CC's alone. Is this normal? I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this. I have had a problem with some hair loss and breakage and that was one of the big reasons I switched to WEN. I really love these oils and want to continue using them. I would welcome anyone's opinions or suggestions. My hair has never looked better.

I don't leave the oil in overnight. I found that it does stain my pillowcases and I don't like that. I don't have spare pillowcases so I don't want to ruin my bedding. So, what I do is put the oils in before I work out and they stay in an hour or two and then I wash as usual. I do not notice any difference between leaving them in for an hour or two versus overnight.

I also prefer the oils over the remoist and sometimes use the seasonal oils as an overnight treatment. I also use the seasonal oils as a body oil and sometimes add a drop or two to already styled hair. For me I believe that I like tea tree best as an overnight treatment although it does take getting used to this formula.

I will answer this. Yes.

I have experienced the same with oils initially. I had already been cleansing with Wen for about a month or so, and Wen alone seemed to diminish my prior to Wen hair loss tremendously.

Then, when I first started couple of oil treatments over night, I saw hair in the bathtub. It scared me, because I wanted to continue with Wen, and if this would continued, I'd had to stop Wen.

But it was going on for a few days only, then stopped. I think, oils help to loosen up those hairs in the shaft, that were about to fall out soon anyways.

I generally don't use the oils and the Remoist at the same time, but some people do.

I use the oils more often than the Remoist because you can put them on dry hair and use them in multiple ways. I use the oils on my scalp at night or, if I'm going to be home all day on a weekend, I'll do it during the day. I also add a few drops of oil to my leave-in WEN and add them to my body lotions. If I'm using straight acetone to soak gel polish or glitter off my nails, I'll add some of the seasonal WEN oils to the acetone so that it doesn't leave my skin so dry and smells more pleasant. I have many different oils and also like to use the Tea Tree on my face and, if I'm having sinus trouble, I'll mix the Tea Tree and the Sweet Almond Mint and massage them over my forehead, temples, and cheeks.

The Remoist I usually use on a weekend afternoon. I'll add it to soaking wet hair, then clip my hair up and drape a microfiber towel over my shoulders and leave it like that for an hour or so. After an hour, I take the clip out and let my hair air dry, which takes the rest of the day. I'll sleep with the Remoist in. The next morning, I get in the shower and get my head wet, massage the Remoist in, clip it up and leave it while I wash my body. I don't use a cleansing conditioner, I just rinse the Remoist out, put in my leave-in and oil, and style as usual.

Been there with the hair thing after using the oil....For me it was because I was too vigorus massaging it in my scalp after I got the hang of being more gentle while massaging it in total difference!!!

*ChynnaBlue-I also use a little bit of the oil on my ends if my curls are feeling dry.(it hlelps me with frizz)

Yes, I also add the oils to dry hair if I need a little more moisture. I usually also add a few drops to my leave-in. The TT oil scent is definitely pretty strong, but I'll just put it on a couple of hours before bed time and then it's usually not that strong. I love the TT oil, though. Whenever I use it I can see new hair growth.

Thank you for your feedback. It's been very helpful and I appreciate it. I will definitely start a new post next time I have a question. I did not mean any disrespect to the original poster whatsoever. The topic was oils and that is why I asked my question here. I actually thought it could help her as well. I will continue to use the oils and not worry so much about the hair coming out. It was probably ready to come out anyway and the benefits to the scalp are wonderful.

Just another suggestion for anyone that loves the oils. If you like the scent of SOB you may consider purchasing the oil from Chaz's site. I still haven't ordered yet since I really want the 4 oz. size but will wait a few weeks to order it. It is one of my favorite Wen scents even though it is a bit drying for my hair.

Dear cac140! I did not mean to traduce you for that, it was only a suggestion, because the subject you've raised is important enough to have it's own conversation going.

Also, please do worry about the hair loss. Especially, when your are using a new product, it is so important to really watch the reaction you are having.

There are so many posts claiming people have experienced tremendous hair loss because of Wen! I am not about to dismiss this possibility, as I know people may and do have very bad reactions to some ingredients in anything, including foods.

I just don't necessarily believe most of these hair loss claims, because of the way they are presented, and what is being said. I find it hard to believe, that someone would actually continue using a product for years, and continue buying "gallons of it" over and over again, while their hair was "falling out in clamps", and "thinning" till no hair was left! Such claims simply do not have merit in my opinion.

Yes, please do watch your hair's reaction to Wen and watch closely, if the hair loss continues, to see if your reaction to Wen is not adverse. If this is the case, then you know what to do.

But I wish you great luck and success with Wen, and think you are going to be just fine and have a head of healthy shiny Wen Hair!

Dear sonechko, Don't worry about a thing. You happen to be 100% correct. Starting a new post on this question was my first instinct and I should have went with that. I am new to WEN and really do love it so far. This is a great conversation learning about different ways to use the oils. I think they are fabulous. I've also seen the hair loss issues some people are having. I just figure everyone is different and the positive experiences seem to far outweigh the negative ones and I would find out for myself what WEN was all about. So glad I did. The people here are wonderful and I am learning a lot. I was losing hair prior to using WEN so I don't think it's related at all. For me, it was stress. My hairdresser told me everybody goes through a shedding process from time to time as well. So I will go with the flow and see what happens. Thanks for your kind words and help.
