I've Been Tweak'd! - Page 10

I finally tried mine, the nourishing one, and for me it's not moisturizing enough. My hair felt a little parched and not as soft as when I use Wen. I used Wen for leave in, and used styling products as I normally would, but my hair was a little frizzy and dryer feeling. It wasn't terrible, but I'm happier with the results I've been getting after using Wen for the last few weeks. Also while the scent isn't terrible, it's too perfumey for my taste. If it worked great for my hair, then that wouldn't be too big of an issue, but it's definitely a mark against the product at this point.

I'm glad a lot of people are liking it, I liked the idea, but it's not for me.

Both formulas are available again FYI. Neither say only a certain amount left either.

I've never experienced Pink Sugar but i can tell you than Nourish smells exactly like the supposedly pure Ojon. That tears it for me. He's proven himself untrustworthy in my eyes." Developing" a fragrance you've used before in a much more "pure" product is down right devious. No more Dennis anything for me.

I tried Tweak-d for the first time today: the nourishing formula. I have med-thick, curly, shoulder length hair. I am a regular WEN user: Tea Tree, Sweet Almond Mint, 613 and Seasonals.

Pros of Tweak-d: I like the application process on dry hair. My mornings are such that putting the product on and waiting 10 - 15 minutes is easy for me to do. I found it saved time/water once I was in the shower. It detangled my hair very well and washed out easily. My styled hair is nice and smooth yet very full and thick looking.

Cons: After one use I found one big issue -- the way the product smells. As others have mentioned the scent is very strong. As a WEN user I have grown very fond of its aromatherapy qualities. Tweak-d has a highly perfumed smell to my nose. I mitigated this with my usual styling products that toned down but did not erase the strong scent. I also found Tweak-d to be slightly less moisturizing than WEN though I haven't incorporated the concentrated Restore product yet so the jury is still out.

In a nutshell my hair is fuller with Tweak-d, more moisturized with WEN. I'm glad I tried Tweak-d and will continue to play with it. Not sure yet if it will have a permanent spot in my hair care rotation.

I have the Rise and Shine for volume/fine hair.The application process was easy and I followed directions to a T.The smell for me isn't offending at all.I used Wen for a spell years ago and lost a major amount of hair,horryifying to see the amount collected on the drain.I sadly had the same experience with Tweaked after one treatment.I have fine hair and on the plus side it was super smooth and shiny.I don't have this issue with Pureology shampoo/conditioner so I'm perplexed.Curious if anyone else had the same problem? I so wanted this to work for me. =(

I also tried Tweak-d for the first time today- the nourishing formula. It's not hydrating enough. I was comparing it with their restore product - that's an awesome product and my hair was great afterwards! I didn't like the spray that came with the ts - I dont like many hair sprays so that didn't surprise me really. I used it very lightly and it left a film on my hair. I'll give it a try again in a couple days, right now I'm thinking the ts will go back,

Well, here's my review...
The Nourishing arrived early last week - I tried it Thursday morning and only used it (no additional products of any kind). I was somewhat reluctant to use it since I've been WEN exclusive for nearly 3 years. The scent was strong, but not offensive or overbearing to me, and dissipated as the day went on. Day Two, I didn't have any better results than I do with WEN. However, I did notice that I had some itching/mild irritation to my scalp.
The Rise & Shine arrived Friday - I tried it yesterday morning (no additional products). The scent didn't seem as strong to me as it did with the Nourishing. I was able to blow dry my hair easily, but the length of my hair felt a little drier than it does with WEN. My second day hair this morning was a little better than it is with WEN, but that alone isn't a good reason to keep it.
All that said, I will not keep these and I will not repurchase. I think the application method is a big pain in the rear and very subjective. With WEN, you know what a "pump" is - a measured amount. With the Tweak'd, a mound of foam could be 10 different sizes for 10 different people. Without really being a measured amount, I can see how people would go through it very fast. Also, I noticed more breakage/hair loss in the shower as I combed through my hair prior to rinsing. And when out in the wind, my hair was not as easy to brush through as it is when I use WEN.
I'm actually sorry I allowed myself to try this. Live and learn, I guess.

I watched a You Tube video on how to use it. It said that consider an egg sized amount for a pump of foam. I see what you mean, though, as when I first dispensed it, I think it would have kept coming out if I didn't stop at "egg sized."

I used Tweak-d (nourshing formula) again today and this time I used the Restore product as a leave in. Restore was absolutely amazing and made my hair feel so good afterwards that I forgot to add in my usual styling products. I'll give this combo a few more tries and plan to keep the purchase. However, I won't be abandoning WEN any tme soon and I will only repurchase the Restore.

I should note that I typically cleanse my hair daily with WEN because I am a daily kind of girl -- but I really didn't feel a 'need' to cleanse on day two using the Tweak-d nourishing/Restore combo. Tweak-d definitely gave me a lot of volume.

I love restore- I tried it a few weeks ago and it was a winner on it's own! Maybe I'll retry Tweak'd with restore and see if I like Tweak'd any better. So far it hasn't been a 'wow'...
