Which Wen product should I use if I have short, gray, dry, coarse hair? Thank you.

You should try the Sweet Almond Mint. It's very moisturizing and it smells nice. Also, the Fall Apple Spice works great for dry hair, I just don't like the overly sweet smell.

Yes! I have fine, thick hair and I love it!! I've tried Wen, and while I like it, it weighs down my hair especially the second day after cleansing. Hair One doesn't do that, soI think with thinner hair, you'll be very happy with it!! Can't beat the price either!

I use a quarter size dollop before I blow dry my hair. Use less if you have short hair.

My recommendation would be to purchase one of the small bottles of WEN from Amazon. They come in several different scents. That is what I did to start out to see if the product lived up to the advertisements. It was also helpful to watch the YouTube videos on how to properly use the product. My hair is very fine and would tangle every time I washed it. WEN has fixed this problem and now my hair is soft, shiny and never looks oily at the roots. I do not know if it would help with a dry scalp, but it is great for hair.

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 haven't had much success on dry hair. Spraying in damp hair and blow drying it while twisting sections of it worked best for me. (FYI i have stick straight hair)

I use my regular styling products and my curling iron, etc. I normally put a small amount of Nioxin conditioner on the top of my head, rub in and then I use my regular conditioner on the ends, I do have longer hair, so it helps to de tangle and give it a smooth silky feel.

I would defiantly go with 2-3 I have short hair, I also found that just using the product one time worked best.

After you wash your hair towel dry and then add about a little more than a pea size of product in your hand rub it around the palm of your hand and then pull your hand and fingers through your hair styling with your fingers and let your hair air dry or blow dry and do what you have to do. When my hair was very short I would just put the product in my hair and let it air dry for that messy look! I still have short hair but I blow dry and then use my curling brush for a more finished look. Either way this is a great product and the amount you use depends on your own preference and hair texture but starting with a pea size amount should do well. Good luck I hope this helped.

Hi Goybabe, I love WEN. I have short, naturally curly hair and it has a tendency to dry out. I use only the shampoo/conditioner. I use a good amount and massage it in really well, then let it set for about 3 minutes, then rinse well. You will love it! I guess if you have long hair, you should use a large tooth comb to be sure it is delivered to all of your hair.

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. :-)

I've used mine on short hair and long. The smaller brush works great for fast feathering on short hair. Blow dryer attachment is very effective on short hair. If your hair is fine (mine is fine) careful of the high setting as it may be too hot. Easy to switch to a cooler setting mid-use to prevent hair damage, though! I love having one tool that will dry and style whether I want curls, waves or a straight hair look.

Yes. That's what comes with this particular kit. It was a perfect trial kit for me because I got to try products similar to those I had been using. My hair loves Wen products. I will be updating my original review from a few months ago so please check back if you want to know how Wen improved my hair and why I'm a convert. Good luck trying it and I hope your hair loves it too!

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 thinnk you should just try what works best for you. I have short hair and use four drops as an overnight treatment :)

Since your hair is short, the product will work better...I am guessing, since for longer hair this product will just weigh the hair down because the texture of it is slimey and heaver. I'd recommend another product for hair texture like a shaping cream by the tea tree brand. I use that right now (also have short hair) and it works great...the texture of it isn't liquidy like this product so it doesn't weigh the hair down. Or check out a hair taffy of some sort....You can always try this product yourself and see how it works for you; everyone has there own likes and dislikes. But I recommend a hair product like I mentioned above because the texture isn't this thick liquidy stuff.
