How to properly use WEN

This demonstration below shows how to properly use WEN. Follow these directions carefully, and Chaz Dean is sure that you will have luscious hair afterwards!
Step 1: CLEANSEStep 2: RINSE & REPEATStep 3: RINSE & LEAVE IN
Soak your hair thoroughly. Cleanse your hair by gently massaging half of the amount of Cleansing Conditioner listed in the chart below, concentrating on the roots (See PROPER AMOUNT OF WEN® chart below).Rinse thoroughly. Repeat cleansing with the rest of the Cleansing Conditioner listed in the chart below, concentrating on the ends (See PROPER AMOUNT OF WEN® chart below). Leave in for the rest of your shower.Rinse thoroughly. As you rinse, massage your scalp and run your fingers through to your ends. Add extra pump as a leave-in on your ends.
Proper amount of WEN® - Short Hair: 10-16 Pumps; Medium-Length Hair: 16-24 Pumps; Long Hair: 24-32 Pumps
In my opionion. This seems like a lot of product to use. If you are like me and have long hair, I'm not going to have much of this conditioner left when I'm done! I guess we'll find out soon if the price for WEN is worth the little bit of product you get in the end!!











 

Give the gift of Makeup!!

I personally love make up!! I will spend so much time in the morning just playing with my makeup and trying new things. I probably care about it too much, and often find that I don't like to leave the house with my makeup on. It gives me the confidence I need to feel beautiful and who doesn't like confidence!!!
So, for all you ladies out there, or men who are looking for a great gift for their girl, try makeup!! Go for an eyeshadow, lip gloss set, or fingernail polish. Unless you know what they like specifically, I would stick to these things b/c you don't want to offend in any way!! A Bare minerals kit is a great way to start, but that is more for if you know what your friend/gf wants! I personally love makeup from sephora, and amazon has a lot of really great deals right now on sephora items. These are just a few ideas, but all department stores have great deals and makeup choices that you can choose from!
Now, this is just a suggestion, but I can guarentee that whichever lady receives this will love it!! I know I would be pumped to ge an eyeshadow pallette as a gift!
Another great gift for a woman, would be perfume!! I find myself in the perfume isle all the time wanting all of them and testing each one individually. I do find my nose a little overworked, and end up have a weird mesh of smells stuck in my nose b/c I try way to many, but it is totally worth it!! If you are a man buying for a woman, she is pretty much going to love any smell that you like. Unless she has a specific kind she asked for or uses, this would be the way to go.
Happy shopping and Merry Christmas everyone!!

Ombre

I really have to give a shout out to the peron who thought of the ombre hair style. For one, I think it looks so col, and sevondly, it gives me an excuse to grow out my roots and not feel bad about it!!! lol :) My roots aren't that much different than the rest of my hair, but it does kind of look like the ombre look and I am loving it! I didn't even have to spend a ton of money at the salon and now I can buy some fabulous new years eve outfit instead! Thank you again Mr. Ombre!

2nd day of using WEN hair care

So, today is the 2nd time I have shampooed (is that even how you spell that?!?) with WEN . My hair feels great!! I did something a little different though. I used the extra intense conditioner that came with the package I got. You use the extra conditioner if you have extra dry hair an you apply it after you have used the initial conditioner or your hair is clean. You have to apply it to wet hair and leave it in for about 20 to 30 minutes, so it really does take a while. I didn't leave mine in for that long and still got great results so I guess it just depends on how dry your hair is! It was kind of inconvenient though, b/c I showered, and then you either nee to stay in the shower for another 20 minutes, or get out of the shower and get back in to rinse it off. I ended up just rinsing it off in the sink, but I really don't like to do that all the time so I might save it for when I take a bath or something.
Anyways, my hair was so soft and smooth after using the initial conditioner and the extra conditioner!!! you do have to make sure that you rinse it off really well, b/c I did have some parts of my hair be a little greasy and almost too conditioned. I will probably only use this stuff for special occasions b/c it is so time consuming but it is a nice little secret weapon to have around for soft and sexy hair!!
Another thing that I noticed about WEN hair care is that I feel like my hair is a little bit longer already!! I have only used it twice (in 3 days time b/c I don't shampoo/wash my hair everyday) and it feels longer already! I couldn't beieve it, and I hope that it continues to grow so I can have beautiful long locks!!! So far, I am really like the WEN hair care treatment!!

WEN hair care

So, I have been seeing commercials for WEN hair care for forever and I am always lusting at how beautiful their hair turns out and without supposedly without using a flat iron or curling it! You just blow dry it and style it with your blow dryer and you're good to go! Everytime is see this I think it is amazing and I caved it and finally bought it and tried it out. This is the first week that I have used it, and I can tell some of a difference, but don't know how it will be in the long run.
I feel like I should give you some background information about my hair so you can understand why I was lusting after this product so. My hair is fairly long, and is very damaged. I'm trying to grow out my hair so I don't get it cut as often as I should and I use a flat iron or curling iron on it everyday so I have split ends up the ying yang!! It also has this natural wave to it that is so nasty that I don't like going out with it not styled in any way. I either end up putting it in a bun/pony tail, or have to go all out and straighten and curl it. I rarely blowdry my hair either, b/c if I do, it looks like a gigantic puff ball!! So, I have lots of frustrations with my hair, and why it usually looks pretty good, it takes a while for it to get there. So my hair equals: lots of time, product, and damage.  WEN looked like something that would take all of this away and make all of my problems better so I had to use it!
The first time I tried it, I was really skeptical b/c it was only conditioner!! If I only used just conditioner, my hair would be so greasy right away and it would just be disgusting! But, after using it one time, I actually cleaned my hair really well, and my hair wasn't greasy! I dried it with my blow dryer, which does not happen very often, and it actually didn't get frizzy or poofy!! I couldn't believe it! It still wasn't exactly styled how I wanted it to be, but it was a step closer to what I want and I didn't have to wait forever for it to air dry!
Hopefully this was a good investment, and I guess time will tell if it is really good for my hair or not!
For those of you who don't have problems with your hair when you blow dry it, I prolly wouldn't get WEN just b/c it is pretty expensive and that is one of the main things they advertise for. However, it also did make my hair shinier and softer so it is for every hair type!
