Thank you all for the wonderful/helpful info. on how to repair my hair.  I have been using just the Fig for about three weeks now and it seems to be coming around.  My natural wave seems to be bouncing back and my hair is not breaking off as much.  I am hoping a good haircut will help get rid of the dry ends.  Thank you all again!  I love the WEN family!💜

So glad to hear you hair is coming back to it's senses, @Daycaremom816! FIG formula is amazing in the moisturizing department, is not it?

When an opportunity shows up, try to get MIF. SHP, and probably 319 as they are proven moisturizing CCs. Even if you'll have to just add 319 to your other CCs, it is very nourishing and hair repairing stuff. Try to be regular (2-4 a week) with scalp oil treatments, as well as do re-moist more often. Your hair will respond and will be happy again! Smiley Happy

I have been using WEN Lavendar for about a year and my hair was great.  I purchased the re-moist and have used it twice, now my hair is really dry to the point that my bangs are breaking off!  What am I doing wrong?


@Daycaremom816 Glad the FiG is helping you out. I find that my hair goes through stages. I assume that LAV was your first formula. My theory is that whatever formula we use at first is so much better than shampoo, that for that first year, it just gets better and better. Then our hair starts to get more discriminating. Then we really need to balance the moisture and protein.

@Daycaremom816 I'm glad FIG seems to be helping. I have to use FIG on a regular basis or else my hair just doesn't behave like I want it to.

Have you thought about stopping Wen for awhile and trying a different brand Shampoo/conditioner for dry hair and a hair mask , and oil treatment. I did after using Wen for about 5 years love Chaz but I love my hair more, my hair Was getting dry and falling out until I stopped using wen. I do miss the 613 and Mandarin fig smell. My hair is so much better thicker not dry anymore and stopped falling out. I'M glad I did.

I have some LAV that I found to be a tad drying for my fine hair....but I am using it by mixing it with the FF Rice formula. There is something about that FF that is like a shot of creamy moisturizing bamboo water, and combined with LAV I am getting both the volumizing effect of LAV while being more moisturizing. The combo has been surprising and wonderful!

 

However, I have never found a CC or shampoo for that matter that made my hair so dry that it just started breaking off. My hair is prone to breakage and has done so directly in proportion to heated styling tools and not using heat protection while styling.  

 

I use remoist once a week and find that it adds luster and dimension to my hair. I

have been using MIF remoist.  However, since you started having this troubling breakage immediately after you started using it, I would stop using it at once, and see if things improve. Best of luck to you.

daycaremom816, I also find Lavander to be too drying for my hair. I can use all of the seasonals and any others that do not contain wheat. My DH has natural curl and his hair can be dry. He uses Fig because it is very moisurizing. Some seasonals are more moisturizing than others too. I also have to be careful with 613 because if I use it too much it will dry my hair. I think it may be the amino acid complex.
