My sister has thin, dry hair and has a hard time finding a product that doesn't weigh her hair down. What product of Wen would anyone recommend?

The way I figured out which Wen to use for my hair is I went to their website to research the product more. It was there that I found each type/scent is specified for certain hair types. From what I know I'd recommend trying the almond mint or lavender for her hair type. :)

Fig will be too heavy on her hair. Have her try Wen Lavender. It's light and offers volume.

I recommend Fig Cleaning conditioner. You just can't go wrong with this product. It is the best I have ever used on my head.

I've never used Wen; so I cannot answer your question in that regard. However, this product dried out my hair and made it extremely difficult to comb. I ordered it based on the reviews for me and my daughter, who has extremely dry and kinky hair. It did not work for me. I assumed it's not for African-American hair.

I don't have thin hair but I would highly recommend this product. You don't need a lot after you towel dry your hair put a pea size amount in your hand and rub together then through your hair. I have short hair and that amount was perfect. If you have longer hair you may need more to work through to the ends you will have to figure out how much you need. I just used it after a shampoo and let it dry it is not that real stiff hold either and usually the next day all I had to do was dampen my hands and work through my hair to re style.Try it I really think it is a great product and I tried so many before I found this and it is worth what you pay because you don't need that much. I hope this helped. I don't have thin hair but I would highly recommend this product.

I think all of them might be fine but go on to the WEN website and it might tell you. I have grey, curly, dry hair and I use the Fig. I cannot tell you what a great difference it's made in my hair - it shines and all my curl is back.

I have thin hair and it doesnt weigh my hair down at all. Just make sure you use the conditioner on your ends (ear level down) and you'll be fine. The products do make my hair feel lighter and bouncier as far as volume goes. Good luck.

Yes my sister has thin damaged hair and it works great. Also there is no plastic on the actual heating panels which is better for the hair.

I have curly hair too and I don't think it weighed down my hair at all. Give it a try, hope you like it :)

It's basically just an extra conditioning treatment. I found my hair is better with just the wen as the 613 weighs my hair down and if not rinsed real well is slightly greasy. My hair is fine though and naturally oily. However, my sister's hair is thicker so it makes her hair smooth and shiny.

I can't really say. I don't want you to assume by me saying that, that specific wen product worked for me will also work for you. I am using the tea tree cleansing conditioner from wen and my scalp feels a lot better and a lot softer the mint kind of dried my hair. Every wen product works you just gotta know which one works for you. The tea tree mint works perfectly fine for me :)

I don't know if it will help you but we have thick straight hair and it dried it out so I don't think it would weigh yours down.... We had high hopes with all the good reviews but after a few uses I decided to save it for the dogs....

Not having thin hair- not to sure. But it's a great product. My stylist uses on her customers. Should be ok, if you start off by using a small amount and determine what you need. And it smells great!!!

It dried my hair out but no, it didn't weigh it down. I have very fine, thin, color treated hair, too.

It is especially good for straight hair. I have fine hair and it was recommended for me by a rep at Wen. They also recommended it to my sister, though her hair is more coarse. The lavender formula is light and won't weigh your hair down; I think that was the one concern my sister and I had in common.

I have thin hair very dry hair and I love it. I use the LOC (it the cream part in the LOC) method and it give my hair the perfect amount of moisture. I guess it would really depend on what you consider thin hair. I have kinky thin hair and I just use a quarter size for my whole head. Love it though and the smell!

I have very curly hair (natural curl). I used WEN for several years, then tried these Deva curl products, when I got some samples. I've used Deva Curl for about a year now. I can honestly say it is superior to WEN. I can't speak for anyone with straight hair--but Deva Curl is, hands down, the single greatest shampoo and conditioner I've ever used. The No-Poo is a non-lathering shampoo, just like WEN, but it is strictly a cleansing product. The One Condition then does additional conditioning. I will never go back to WEN or any other product. Hope this is helpful.

I do not believe so. I use Wen and feel it is worth the expense. Protein is good for repair, but this I did not feel a good protein at all. As well, you need to add moisture back to your hair. Too much protein will cause your hair to be brittle and break. I will not be repurchasing this product. If you want your hair to grow, I'd also recommend good nutritional supplements along with Wen and a good leave-in conditioner. One other thing, when hair is wet -- it is fragile. Use fingers to separate hairs and do not tie it tightly when wet as it will cause breakage. I hope this helps.

Hey Vicki, I'm African American as well, however my hair isn't very coarse. My daughter on the other hand has very thick and coarse hair. For years I've been trying to find anything to help with her dry scalp. Nothing worked until I got Wen. Wen was actually designed for African American hair since sulfate really dry out our hair. Her dry scalp is almost gone & I've only been using it for a little over a month now. I've also noticed that her hair has more sheen to it & is easier to comb through. I don't think that by you swimming any damage will be done by using Wen, saying I'm also a swimmer & use Wen on my hair. It's supposed to help restore moisture. But my motto is try it once & if you don't like it don't buy it again. I hope I helped. Have a blessed one. :-)
