Re: The right way to use Re-Most

Yeah. Definitely less CC.

I bought re-moist for the first time last August, and applied it by following the instructions in the wen booklet...which, as has been said, includes the 6 pumps of CC to "prime" the hair before applying.

Then, when watching one of the presentations on September TSV day (must have been when Chaz presented the deluxe size re-moist with comb...such a great deal!!), Chaz described the re-moist process differently.

As a new wen user, I wanted to know whether to follow the book or Chaz (though my motto is: when in doubt, listen to Chaz), so I took advantage of the fact that the staff was live chatting all that day and asked about it.

Here is the exchange:

I watched two presentations today that included a demonstration of the re-moist hydrating mask and I have a question about the procedure.

On air, they said to cleanse, rinse, repeat, then apply a teaspoon of the re-moist to your wet hair, work it in, put it up, and rinse out after 45 minutes or more. In the WEN booklet I received with my first order, it also includes several pumps of the cleansing conditioner as a "primer" before applying the re-moist. Since this wasn't mentioned on air, I was curious as to how necessary that step is. In the presentation, they mentioned that the re-moist gets worked in and turns clear, showing its absorption, and you could definitely see that on the model...when I've used the re-moist following the additional primer step, I get some froth and residual whiteness that I assume is because of the added cleansing conditioner. Will this make my re-moist less effective? Should I prime or not prime?

Thanks for your help! You guys have been great today.

@phoebesnow The priming step is not something you have to do. Where we really recommend that is for people that like to remoist a lot, or have really long hair. Since the remoist is one of the more expensive products, using the CC as a primer allows you to use less remoist while still getting a good deep treatment. It won;t be quite as good as remoist alone, but it's a great way to stretch out the remoist so it lasts longer.

So there you have it...that's probably as close to a definitive answer as we'll get, though of course we've all found what works best for our individual hair...

Thanks @phoebesnow! That's good to know. I have a ton of re-moist so I don't think I need to add any CC to make it last longer.

Actually on the second thought, the way they showed the re-moist treatment with CC priming - it does start to sound very promising! A real SPA luxurious hair treatment! I gonna do it in half and hour, for sure.

I'll have to come back for the results tomorrow, it's bedtime on the east coast.

Ya'll have fun

Thanks for sharing this info @phoebesnow!

I want to object to this using CC prime is needed to save some re-moist. Because in this video, where they suggested 6 pumps of CC, then they used THREE tea spoons of re-moist for her entire head.

Well, I guess there are different ways to do this, and which ever way is chosen - re-moist mask is still going to be an excellent hair treatment!

Another thing Chaz mentioned in this video - to use a dime or a quater size of re-moist as part of your leave-in in your daily cleansing to really see great results.

I know! It's so strange to me that the instructions in the book and on the jar say to apply "liberally" (whatever *that* means in terms of actual quantity...), Chaz says to use a teaspoon, and the video shows 3. Zero consensus! Personally, I end up using about 3, but my hair is more than halfway down my back and still hungry for moisture and care (only started wenning in July).

I have heard this a few times but haven't tried (probably because I do use enough of the product that I want to save it for the overnight treatments)...anyone else try it? I'm thinking I might just use a dab on the ends.

@phoebesnow I sometimes use the re-moist as my leave-in. You don't need very much of it but it works great!

when I remoist, I shower at night and follow my normal wash rinse and repeat. When I get out of the shower, I add as much remoist to cover all of my hair except the scalp area and I concentrate on the ends. I probably use 2-3 finger scoops. My hair is just below the bra line. Then I use the wide tooth comb to evenly distribute the remoist and put my hair up in a turbie twist. Shower in the am and rinse completely. Add some leave in cc and sc. Works great for me!
