Dry oil experience

nikki48 — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 19:30:39 GMT

My dry oils just arrived! Of course I had to try it out right away.

Here's the interesting thing... after opening, I sprayed it in the palm of my hand first. When I touched it to rub it in there was an almost foaming reaction. I also had a white residue in the palm of my hand. Now, just to fully disclose... I had just handled the packages so I dont know if it was reacting with something on my hands or if this was just the product alone.

To be fair, I washed and dried my hands. I also remembered I had not shaken the bottle and I sprayed quite a bit of dry oil. So retrying (with clean yet dry hands), I did not have as much of the "foaming" effect. It was a tiny bit. As of now, my palm doesnt show that residue. So either the bottle needs to be shaken, I used too much or there was something on the boxes it reacted to.

Back to spraying.... I sprayed it on my arm and rubbed it in. It does completely disappear yet it leaves a silky but non oily feeling. I then sprayed it in my hair. It gives a glossy shine but again doesnt leave an oily feeling. The spray is very fine, as Chaz said during the presentation. So it doesnt feel like you are actually being sprayed but a very fine mist has just lightly brushed you.

I am cleansing tomorrow so I will play around with it more. But I like it so far.. surprisingly I like it more on my skin than hair (I will use both ways though). Since I have combination/oily skin I will apply it to my face and see if it gives me a lasting matte finish. If it does, I could kiss Chaz! My skin pretty much eats my foundation, so anything that keeps that from happening I will buy by the case.

Feel free to share your first impressions!

@sznk, please share your thoughts and reaction. If this works as well as I am hoping I think we will find plenty of uses for it.

Hi, nikki48! Thank you for your post! Mine is arriving today. I would've gotten mine sooner but my orders started getting transferred from UPS Ground to USPS. My postal service is awful. We get our mail at 6:00 to 6:30PM. If I'm expecting a package it takes a LONG time so I called the Q and they changed my one order to not transfer. The other one, the post office already has. I don't know why they're waiting to deliver it but...

Anyway, Wow! I wonder if shaking before using is necessary. I don't remember Chaz saying anything about that but he did say you have to pump a lot to get it to go into the pump straw. Why do you like it better on body than hair? He said we can use it on wet or dry hair. I"m gonna try both! I was hoping someone would post their review! I have very oily skin and if I use foundation I have the same thing happen to me. I spray with the RTM to try to set it.

When I get mine, I'll post! Thank you for posting yours!!

I got my dry oil today too, and I'm glad I ordered it

Was gonna let this go but Chaz talked me into it LOL

@nikki48 I didn't have any of the foaminess or residue that you got. I sprayed it in my hair & on my face. My forehead was feeling pretty greasy and the dry oil did exactly like Chaz said, the oiliness went away & my face feels like satin, even 3 hours later it's nice & matte

It did add instant shine to my hair too, but no oily feel. I'm excited to see how it does on wet hair

I also think I'll like it better for my skin than my hair but we'll see how it does on wet hair, I may change my mind

@77yangya, I don't remember Chaz saying anything about shaking it either, I tried it thinking maybe the ingredients seperated in the heat. It was around 90 degrees today. I really like the way it makes my skin feel, I can see myself using it most often this way. I am going to try it in combination with the 319 NIBT.

@FleaMktQn, thanks for the feedback, I'm happy you didnt have that. I think it may have been something on my boxes. There is no telling what UPS and USPS has laying around on their trucks. I didnt see a residue anywhere after that first try. I am going to try it on freshly cleansed hair tomorrow as well. Glad you are loving it too!

@nikki48

Thanks so much for you impressions. Over the years I have put my oils in a spray container or my glossing serum even tried mixed them but creating only a mess on my walls. I had this in my cart and so want to try it but I have to be careful with the silicone . I do get whiteheads if there is silicone on my face and my hair gets crazy if overdoing it. I have to take care when using my glossing serum or my styling creme. Let us know over the course of time what your outcomes are. You always have great success with your hair.

Hi everyone: Okay, I got mine last night. I used it wet and dry. It DOES make the skin soft and it melts right in after a few seconds. My hair is so ultra shiny now so it didn't make much difference there but it softened the hair, it toned down my poofyness. Is that a word, poofyness? I don't think so. LOL!!!! Anyway, I do like it, I got it in 613 and it smells heavenly. I'm gonna keep mine and use it. I just now tried spritzing it into my hands and rubbed them together and applyied to sides of my hair. A LOT better. Makes it shine and NO frizz. It's a bit humid but my hair got so dag gone thick, this really helps without weighing down. Okay, my vote is in. I vote YES, I like it. It has REAL potential.

You know what's so amazing, is that it just smooths out, no slick feeling behind! LOL! It's really different!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for being so nice when I was suffering with oral surgery. Thank you to everyone. Really, it helped more than you'll know.

Please forgive me for posting twice. I've been in the bathroom experimenting. I find that, the thicker the hair, the more dry oil is needed. At first I was a bit too stingy with it, afraid I'd over do it but no. I need alot. I put in a ton and my hair is STILL bouncing! The scent! WAAAA!!!! That delicate 613 scent. MMMMM. Makes hair behave nicely NO weigh down. I just keep raking it in, kind of get the hair between fingers and rub from root to ends, it just melts in. It's soft, piece-y, like I used a hot tool but I only blow dried on warm. I like using it when my hair is dry. I don't like it, I LOVE IT!!!!! If you have thick hair, more is needed.

319 dry oil just arrived. heading to the shower now to use 319 CC head to toe & leave-in, 613 SC, & 319 dry oil.

(no mousse for me - it makes my scalp itchy.)

skipping the WVM treatment oil today to better assess the dry oil experience.

SurferWife, I always get a kick out of your posts! That's a shame though. I understand how you feel. I'm in the continental US and I ordered an item on Oct 3rd, today is Oct.12 and I still haven't gotten it. It started UPS and they transferred it to the postal service. Our postal service is awful, the package is not being delivered although it shows they've had it for days so I had to order another item. It's the NBT FGP. I keep looking at the tracking posts and it just says they have it and every time the mail person shows up, which is 6:30PM, they know nothing about it. I'm very disappointed. They usually send it UPS and I get it in three to four days. Other items got here okay because it went UPS all the way. When the USPS is involved, the game is over. It must be awful for you to wait so long. That's so cute! tic toc!!! LOL!!!!

I just noticed this new product! Thx for sharing info in these posts. Wow, this is a frizz eliminator? Can't wait to hear about tests in real humidity.

I have constant struggles with frizz and just my straight style hair curling up and losing its style in humid weather. This fall in New England, the high humidity has been almost daily. I Love Wen CC because it helps a lot compared to old- world shampoo, but I still struggle, wearing a baseball cap to walk the dog and using sprays to keep out the moisture. If your using this Dry Oil in > 90% humidity, love to hear the results! Thx again.

I love all the reviews! Mine should be here today. I am loving that most have said it adds shine to the hair. That is exactly what I want. I am also excited to see how it works on my skin. I will post my review later.

Re: Dry oil experience

Hilary77 — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 18:12:20 GMT

I got my dry oil spray today. I like it! I have to say I like it more on my hair than on my skin. It is good on my skin, but better on my hair. It adds shine without weighing down my hair. I agree with the person that said you need more if your hair is thick. I have lots of hair that is normal to fine in texture. I sprayed about 8 sprays and my hair was not greasy.

Yes! I agree! I have thicker hair, and I can definitely use more. I have only used it on my hair when it was blown out with a medium round brush. I can’t wait to see what it does when I wear my hair wavy/curly. I have a feeling I will like it even better. I’m going to try it on wavy hair tomorrow.

@SurferWife - NC is just up the road from me. Would you like me to pick it up and deliver it to your house? I could - just need an umbrella drink on the beach as delivery payment!! LOL Riley1

Re: Dry oil experience

SurferWife — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 04:30:51 GMT

@riley1...we have plenty of umbrella drinks to go around! We should have QVC WENers retreat! I can’t fit all of you in my house but the house next door is a vacation rental! Did I mention we live beach-front? 🌴😎🌴
