We've missed you girl. Have you tried Olaplex? It's meant to fix dry damaged hair without flattening it like a Brazilian blow wave.

Don't you dare buy that stuff. I bought it and I started to get sores on my scalp. Then later I heard it was causing people to lose their hair. I have such thin hair would've been devastated to lose any of it. But getting sores on my scalp perhaps was the start of my hair to fall out. So gross. :sick:

Do you use dry shampoo? Dry shampoo is great for adding volume to even clean hair. Do you wash your hair every day?

My hair is colored, and was getting damaged because I was flat ironing it all the time (my hair is naturally curly)
I started only washing my hair 2-3 times a week max. So I'll wash it Monday and straighten it, then Tuesday I'll use dry shampoo and run the straightener through it quick, then Wednesday I dry shampoo again and wear it in a sock bun, or I get it wet in the shower, only put conditioner on it and wear it curly. Then Thursday I'll wash and straighten and then dry shampoo on Friday, then Saturday, depending on what we have going on I might wash or not. On the days I wash my hair, I put coconut oil in it and leave it for at least 30 minutes.

If your hair is really fine and limp though, I'm not sure if you can go without washing or do the coconut oil thing? Is your hair long enough that you can wear it in a sock bun, or another cute "updo" to avoid washing it?

SIL is my hairdresser and she has been raving about how much better my hair is since I stopped washing it every day and started using the coconut oil.

Also, Biolage has a "wen" type product out, one specifically for fine hair. SIL gave me a sample a few months ago and I really liked it. Do you have an Ulta or Sephora nearby? Maybe you can get a sample and try it before you spend gobs of money on Wen?

I DO! i LOVE it. totally love it. it doesnt make my hair fall out either, but i use it differently than instructed. my scalp is oily but my hair is dry, both by nature but also because it's lightened AND very, very long. i use a regular shampoo on just my roots only, and use the wen like a leave-in conditioner a few inches down, then all the way to the tips.

it has made my waves more defined and tighter, and it just feels much healthier (not straw-like anymore!) i have noticed, however, that it tangles up a whole lot more, i have a much harder time with that when i'm straight out of the shower. but the pro's outweigh the con's.

a girl who works for me also has fine, wavy hair. she noticed a lot of hair-loss and quit using it. if you want to try it, i'd be careful to keep it away from your scalp - i'm sure any reason it would cause hairloss would have to happen near the folicles, since the rest of the shaft is 'dead'...

Ordered Wen and didn't think I would like to never got them to stop sending it. I know I paid more than I should have for the products but just wanted it stopped and them to stop sending it. The product itself was awful and it did cause sores on my scalp. Now this lawsuit lets me know that I was correct about it and the way I felt. Still have some left but will just throw it away, wouldn't want anybody to put up with what I did. These people were as bad as my step daughter in law and don't need anymore people in the world like her in my life.

Late to the party here.

I have been using Wen for about six or seven years. I love it but I've found a product specifically for curly hair and I plan to try their products when I get through my current supply of Wen. Curly hair is dry by nature, and this product will help hydrate my hair and give me softer curls.

I have fine, very curly hair. But a ton of it. Wen doesn't make my hair greasy and I use it practically every day. The only time shampoo is used on my hair is when I see my stylist every six weeks for a cut and color.

However, I lost about a third of my hair after having radioactive iodine to treat my Graves Disease, which caused my thyroid to completely shut down and I went hypo.

I did a ton of research and found Viviscal is great for hormonal (thyroid, sex and adrenal hormones) hair loss. I took it twice, for three months each time. It's not cheap but my hair filled back in and didn't seem as fine as it was before. After getting a pixie cut, which leveled the playing field so to speak, my hair is back to it's normal self again.

It took about a year for this process. I no longer straighten it and dry it with a diffuser. Despite the fact I color my roots every six weeks, it's the healthiest it's been in years.

If you have a sensitive scalp, then I don't recommend Wen. It does tend to give me ingrown hairs around my scalp line in front from time to time. But I've never lost any hair or had it fall out in patches (except after RAI).

I have very fine - but very thick hair. Before decent conditioners my hair would just be a huge tangled knot. I was in Japan about 45 years ago and the hairdressers did not know what to do with my hair when it ended up being a huge knot of tangles. The Vidal Sassoon stuff from about 1971 was the first stuff to detangle my hair.

Now just about anything works. I can't tell any difference between shampoos and conditioners. I do use a "wet brush" to detangle my hair with the conditioner.

I use the knock off called "One" found at Sally's Beauty in the U.S. (not our saffer Sally)

I have pin straight dark hair that USED to be VERY thick. USED to get damaging perms, colouring, blow outs, etc.

Now that Im post meno, I made the change to the One product, intensive conditioner, Naturtint colour, turban towels for drying, and I cut my own hair with a crea clip.

After meeting Chef, I couldnt afford a hairdresser if I wanted to anyway.

Btw, if you want Wen stuff, its usually on craigslist--sealed bottles only though

I use WEN and I love it. My hair has a lot of body and holds style better. My hair is color treated and heat styled. I don't know about all the lawsuit stuff. I would think that if the FDA had any suspicion or proof that this stuff wasn't safe, it wouldn't be allowed to be sold and pulled from the market. I buy mine through Amazon and not the website.
