@bebe777 Are you sure you don't need a seventh comb? That way you have one for every day of the week! I "only" have three of the combs but so far the first one is holding up well and I haven't started using the other two so hopefully that's enough of a comb stash for now.

@HSB1204, lol, you make an excellent point... but why should I stop there? Maybe I should be planning ahead for a 2-week fortnight.

Right now 6-7 seems like a reachable number to shoot for... and then I'll probably expand on that.

I had 7 Wen Combs, but I gifted two.......now I am left with 5 combs only......
I think I need couple more, - don't laugh, seriously, because even if I have a good chance of finding one when needed, still sometimes it's not there right away.
Well, in my perfect Wen World, one should be handy anywhere anytime!

@sonechko, lol, you go girl!!! I think that's a great idea. I'm right there with you.

aprimo, I'm so glad that your FTP waitlist order is now in process!!! I recently got my (3) FTP CCs with the Wenderful Wen Comb OTO for about $68-9. I really like the FTP CC as well!! And I was soooo excited to get my fourth wenderful comb!!! over time, as new hair has grown in, the wen comb has done an amazing job of reducing the frizz factor in my hair. I won't be really happy until I have at least half a dozen Wen combs because I put the everywhere and carry a Wen comb at all times... and misplace them occasionally.

I'm hoping for a (3) Winter White Citrus 16oz CCs with Wen comb OTO... lol, and another one for Spring Honey Lilac (SHL)... because that would give me six Wen combs.

Are the combs really that good? I don't have one, I use another one I had, but now I may want one too!..
Well, this is the first comb I've used on my hair in... ever? I was just using it to comb the oils through my hair when doing an oil treatment. But someone (might've been @bebe777) mentioned using the WEN comb instead of a brush to reduce frizz. I tried it and it's working great so far. I think I'll still need my brush on ponytail days though.

@aprimo, lol, it was probably me because I'm the one who has been singing the praises of the Wenderful Comb!!!!! the loudest for the past few years.

@quadmimi, lol, you should give the Wenderful Comb!!!!! thread a read through (both for the info as well as the entertainment value *s*). -- I started using Wen in December 2009, but I had been regularly listening to his shows for probably 3-4 years before that. Periodically he would mention how special the saw cut Wen comb was, but it wasn't available on QVC and (with shipping) ir was close to $30 on Chaz's site. It just seemed like too much money to pay for a comb... but I was really intrigued.

I know that everyone says that they have the most difficult hair to work with but, based on what others have written it this forum, I really think that I have some of the most fragile and damage probably fine hair to work with. Additionally, it's extremely porous: the Fig CC, in particular, literally leaks out of my hair shaft between cleanses.

I don't do any chemical processes to my hair, and I always either air dry it or dry it with my portable fan.

Using Wen CC has been a game changer for my hair. The Remoist and the Styling Creme both help to tame the frizz. But there's only just so much that Wen can do and so I still have frizz issues to deal with.

A few years ago, Chaz had a November Black Friday sale. I think that there was a 15-20% discount on products at his website, and there was free shipping on everything. Well, I immediately ordered the Wen comb (for about $13 total, I think).

Once I got the comb, I stopped using all of my other combs, including the very expensive comb line that I can't remember the name of. -- I was sceptical, I mean it was just a comb after all. Was if going to do tricks or some kind of a light show?

Every day I checked my hair in the mirror looking for Wen comb miracles. And every day I came away puzzled at what kind of a difference I was supposed to be seeing. This went on for about 4-5 months... but I was steadfast in my use of the Wen comb because Chaz is the man, and I knew he wouldn't steer me wrong.

Then it happened!!! One morning, about 4-5 months in, I did my daily hair assessment in the mirror and wow!!!!!... it all made sense!!! By this point my new hair growth (5-8 inches) and about another 5-7 inches of slightly older hair growth, looked definitively better than the really old hair growth at the ends of my hair. The newer growth was significantly less frizzy that it had been in the past. I still had frizz in the newer section, but it was probably reduced by 35-40%!!!

Over the next 8-9 months as I cut off the oldest hair ends, I noticed an overall improvement in my hair quality (the frizz factor). From what Chaz has said, what happened was that Chaz's Wen saw cut comb doesn't rough up the hair cuticles the way that other combs do. And those roughed up cuticles are what creates frizz.

Since then, I always carry a Wen comb wherever I go. I have my four Wen combs strategically placed around my apartment:

* my purse
* the bathroom
* my bedroom
* my travel bag

A few weeks ago, I went away for the weekend and somehow my Wen comb was not in my prepacked travel toiletries bag and my other Wen comb was not in my purse (how did I manage to do that???!). Well I needed to cleanse my hair that weekend and, lol, I actually went into a bit of a panic when I realized that I would have to use a non-Wen comb. I actually thought about not cleansing my hair but I had to because my hair was looking dirty. Well, my hair seems to have survived the abuse, but it strengthened my resolve to collect a few more Wen combs... maybe 9-12 would be enough.

I just got my fourth Wen comb in Chaz's latest, greatest OTO of (3) 16oz. Seasonal CCs plus the wenderful Wen comb for around $68-9. -- This was an amazing OTO and I am hoping that he will repeat it again for the Seasonals in the other seasons. Because, while the CCs in these sets are a great price, well I want/need at least a few more Wen combs.

So here's my take away on the Wen comb. At some point or other, probably each one of us has said: "Why didn't I listen to Chaz the first time?"... lol, I know I've had that thought on a number of occasions.

So get yourself a Wen comb or two... or maybe five... build up a collection.

If Chaz has a Black Friday sale again at the end of November, then he might be offering free shipping on all orders. If he does, then this would be your ideal time to pick up the wenderful Wen comb... or combs.

Your hair will thank you for it.

-- bebe, with the Wen hair that's (almost) always Wen combed

Oh wow Bebe, such great info! Now I for sure will be getting one. Yes I agree, Chaz is always right when he tells us about a product...WEN comb on my list...

FYI, I got my first WEN comb from Amazon. I just checked and they have them for $7.99 and Prime shipping is available. It's listed under "Chaz Dean wide-tooth comb".

@bebe777 I am totally guilty of having some WEN-epiphany and thinking, Chaz has been saying that for years, why didn't I listen? In some cases, it was even stuff that is in the instructions on the bottle. I'm just very stubborn and kept thinking, yeah but he doesn't mean that for my fine, oily hair. Well, yeah, in most cases that stuff I thought didn't apply to me actually worked. Duh.

@quadmimi! I'll give very quick summary of the Wen Comb essay - GET it ASAP!

p.s. One would think - a comb is a comb. No!

None of my very good combs and brushes are in use anymore. When I can't find Wen Comb right away, instead of grabbing any non-wen comb/brush, I run around until I find Wen Comb! Always!

Wen Comb is serving all multi-purposes - combing through CC in shower, combing through re-moist, SC, Mousse, etc. It is also became my "brush" for dry hair during the day. Even lightly teasing the back top if I want to - this comb does well and gently.

Using Wen Comb strengthened my trust in Chaz really knowing what he is talking about, even more, if that's even possible!

True @quadmimi! Except THIS bunch of smart-panties probably won't be rushing to the site! Instead, will be seeking out OTOs with "free" comb, Black Friday, ebay/amazon, etc., deals! For huge quantity of Wen products we amass, we want and deserve - a little BREAK in price, now and then!

@quadmimi I got mine on ebay. I'm sure it wasn't over $7 with the shipping but I can't remember exactly

Also the one I got on ebay is thicker, heavier, & the teeth are shaped different than the 2 I got with OTOs. So are there 2 variations of the WEN comb?

@FleaMktQn! Yes, a while ago, when I was researching the Wen Comb trying to get it for less, but not to get a fake one, I found out there were two kinds - heavier, thicker one, an older version? if I remember correctly, and a newer lighter, kind of "chintzier" kind.

But the verdict for both kinds was - they work well! Some even liked a lighter comb better, and people were claiming they got both kind from trusted Wen distributors.

I don't remember the details, this was basically just general recollection on two kind of Wen combs.
