Last night I started the experiment. I took a shower and used the Wen conditioning product. First impressions? Kinda weird waiting for lather when you know there will be none. The product’s aroma is “bright” (think like menthol) and a small shower stall can bring tears to one’s eyes. Tonight it wasn’t so bad, probably because I’m used to it. I read that often people don’t use enough of the product to really actually clean the hair, so I made sure I laid it on thick. After I was done, I wanted to see what my hair would do if it was completely on it’s own. Usually it turns into a ball of fuzz and curls with a height akin to Marge Simpson. There were no surprises this morning, my hair was tall, frizzy and curly. As usual. So I wetted it down and added some of the product as suggested by the instructions. I didn’t want to add too much because it felt like it was weighing my hair down. I should have added more. As the day went on, so did the expanse of my hair. By the end of the day it was quite wide and bushy, but it was still soft!
Tonight I washed my hair again after volleyball and added some product to the wet hair. As I type, it’s gotten bushy and fuzzy again, but it feels wonderful and not dry. Maybe I need to not comb it in the shower (I rarely comb my hair because of the natural curls) and next I try styling it a bit more. Next week I’ll try some of the other products that were sent in the package. But ideally I’d like to stick to one product for my hair if possible. I’m tired of the shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner, mousse and or gel. No wonder I don’t wear much for make up, I just don’t have the time!
I’m going camping this weekend, so we’ll see how well everything holds up. I’m not sold on it, but still willing to continue the experiment. I have 60 days before I can return it, might as well keep going!
