If You Use The Oils...

vermint · ‎04-05-2010

If you use the oils, do you use them before EVERY cleanse? I cleanse every other day, and seem to have better 2nd day hair if I do an oil treatment the night before cleansing.

On the other hand, I don't like going to bed with oily hair every other night!

Just wondering, will my scalp eventually balance out enough so that I don't NEED to use them before every cleanse?

I am probably in the minority. I cleanse daily and oil my scalp 5-7 nights per week, only skipping the oil treatments when I am too tired to mess with them. I never really had an oily scalp, but have read that other poster's scalps have normalized oil production after a few months of oil treatments.

I just started using the TT Oil. I have been using it 2-3 times per week. My hair looks better after 2nd cleanse. Oh that was with regular shampoo. I ordered the Wen Dec. TSV. I just started using the CC & have not used the TT Oil yet then the CC. I was going to put the TT Oil on my scalp last night & I forgot. I'm going to try the BGT today. So far my hair likes the POM best.

Forgot to say I have an oily scalp. I also wondered how long it would take to normalize after using the TT Oil.

Do I have to use it that many nights for my oily scalp to normalize???

I don't think so at all

I believe several posters use them 2-3 times per week with great results. I am looking for a different result--my hair is dry though it's not too abused so I can't figure out why. Chaz refers to the oils promoting "healthy hair growth" so am hoping for more moisturized hair.

I thought I would try it to see if it would normalize my oily scalp. My hair is also dry. Has to be from coloring since it was not like that until I started coloring my hair. I think my hair will look more moisturized from using the CC.

Nightowlz, I think it will help you with mositure, too. Since I started using WEN 17 months ago, the new growth is deeper in color, dimensional, and it shines! I can't say whether the cause is the CC, the oils, or both, but I'll take it ;o)

I use TT Oil 3 times a week, each night before I wash. It is my understanding the properties in the TT Oil will help to stimulate hair growth. The oil never gets on my pillows

and I've come to enjoy the smell of TT. I also use it in my nails to strengthen and grow them. The oils can also be used head to toe. I use other scents on my body and face. I believe Chaz says something like having a healthy scalp is similar to having fertile soil, you need it to get good results for your hair (or plants), you can't have one without the other.

I also use the tt oil as an overnight treatment 2 or 3 times a week. I use the other oils that I have after I style my hair. I especially like to use the seasonal oils after styling and just add a tiny amount to the ends. It doesn't matter what type of other Wen products I had used this just leaves a very pleasant smell.

My scalp is EXTREMELY oily so I can only go a day between cleanses. Without Wen I had to cleanse every day. I can go two days but by the second day it looks like I applied the oil to my scalp. I had the same feeling...I didn't like going to bed feeling a lot of oil in my hair, it felt wet to me so I only apply enough to cover the scalp and massage in for five to ten minutes then comb through. I don't cover the hair with any directly. Even though my scalp is oily I still use the oils. The hair grows out nicely. The oil is for the scalp. Healthy scalp should equal healthy looking hair. I feel you can use it whenever you like. You'll benefit from it if you use it once a week, in my opinion.
