[Drythe]

Noelseven,

I have fine straight hair.  Right up front - I'm a WENNER.

After using the WEN CC for cleansing and the Styling Cream on my still wet hair, I blow it dry.  My hair is longer, healthier, and fuller than ever, with no dryness, no breaking an lots of volume.  My stylist of > 20 years says it's is the best he's ever seen it.  Have used for > 2 years with no build-up and no baldness!  

Hope you find something you love!

I have very thick, coarse hair that never felt soft until I switched to CO washing. I use WEN now and I'm very happy with it.  If you are going through a dry hair spell, maybe a really deep conditioner or oil treatment would help.  

Mousse is generally considered to be more drying than other styling products. I cream-based product might be better for you.  I use curly hair products, but I agree with Chynna that Shea Moisture makes some nice stuff.

Again, thank you all, I'm copying down recommendations and how-tos.

Well, no product on my hair and it's still dry.  I guess I'll have to talk to my stylist, see what he has to say.  I don't mind buying a more expensive product IF it's going to work, but I hate trial and error.

IRSH, I went over reviews for a new hair dryer, the Rusk W8less dryer got a lot of good reviews, so I ordered that from Amazon, $90 there.  I like it a lot, my other hairdryer was running too hot, that might have added to the problem.  Weird, though... the new one has the heat controls right where I put my thumb, so I kept shutting it off. 

If it isn't one thing, it's another, LOL!

Let me know how you like that dryer please. Do you have Prime? I wonder if it will be on sale on the 15th?

[NoelSeven]

Hi bette

I do have Prime!  I get a lot of things by way of Amazon and I'm looking forward to the 15th.  I even told my husband about the sale, he's always looking at electronics over there.

The dryer does seem nice.  I think the controls are always in that spot nowadays.  It's one of the new light weight dryers, I wanted to try that.

Here's a reference:

Oh, one more thing, Noel.

Make sure you're drinking your water and having some good fats in your diet.

Sometimes it's not what we put on our hair, but what we miss puttng in our bodies that cause dryness all of a sudden.

Drythe, wow, that's a good review!  I've always been afraid of Wen because so many said they started losing their hair... I was afraid to try it.

Noel, I've heard about that dryer before here, from someone. I'm interested in the lightweight as well. My dryer is just a $15 dryer that's about 6-7 years old, so I've been kinda looking around. 

I have quite a few things on my wish list at Amazon....I have a feeling I'm gonna be a bad girl that day

Everybody is so different I think. I've seen rave reviews, but I was one that had hair loss from it

[NoelSeven]

bette, thank you for mentioning that.

It's very common for people with Lupus to lose their hair.  I don't know how much or if it's permanent, but for some reason, the idea really bothers me.  There's so much to deal with, and since Lupus attacks mostly women, it seems to be a double edged sword.

So far I've been lucky, no hair loss... but I admit to getting nervous about the idea.

bette, my last hairdryer was $20 from Target.  A Remington, it was a cute Christmas special.  I've used it for about the same length as you did but, as mentioned, it's been getting too hot lately.  Maybe I fried my hair, lol.
