Wen Story - the continuation

Somewhat well-behaved, no?

The story continues and I'm still tentatively happy with Wen. I promised pics last time and I do have closer ones of my hair...but to find them now is a problem! Still have not used some of the other products they send because of what I deem to be questionable ingredients or ingredients that do not mesh well with the Wen philosophy of natural products.

I have used Wen to cleanse then had my hair flat ironed right afterward several times now, and have been very happy with the results. My hair is definitely even more well-behaved when flat-ironed. My hair dresser seems to think my hair is looking healthy too...even though I'm not using her special treatment.

I still need to find an after-cleansing product to use that will keep my hair somewhat moisturised though. Will happily accept any suggestions that are more natural-type products with friendly-sounding ingredients. That is still the one problem I have not been able to overcome with Wen. Although I have to say, even though my hair is somewhat dry, when I use the Wen comb (the teeth are very close together) I think it helps distribute my natural oils (or any other oil I apply) so the hair does not feel as coarse to the touch although I know it is somewhat dry. The hair is well-behaved, too (in spite of me not conquering dryness completely) meaning I can still pass that fine-tooth comb through it without spending more than a few minutes to get it through! That has been the biggest plus.

I must say that for the first few times using Wen, I did not comb through the way it was recommended which I do now (mostly because I finally read all the instructions and remembered to use them), which is by parting my hair in sections so that each section gets a good amount of the cleanser on it, and I roll and pin up the sections for a few minutes then comb each out separately as I rinse. I have decided that this technique really works in contributing to well-behaved hair because in the end after the rinse, my hair is lying smoothly all around my head and not in a tangled mass, which is how it was before I started using the comb during the rinse. The instructions do not say to part hair in sections but I just find that this helps me a lot maybe because of the amount of hair on my head and the fact that it needs so much rehab!
I noticed one time when putting oil in my hair that it behaved even better after the oil application, which I did mainly on the roots but did comb through a bit to help the oil get distributed.
Finally I will add that when combing through on a daily basis, I notice there is much less hair coming out, and that is a happy discovery for me. I hope to solve the itchy scalp issue some day.
