5.0 out of 5 stars I Love this Product! Never Switching Back to Shampoo, October 11, 2008

By 

Zyris De'Lat "The Passionist" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wen Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner, 32oz (Health and Beauty)

I have to admit I saw this product one evening on an infomercial. It intrigued me, but like any infomercial I was skeptical so I read many many reviews to see how well a cleansing conditioner worked. I found mixed reviews. I hate buying straight from infomercial sites, because 9/10 times there is usually an automatic renewal shipping which I hate (and WEN does). So I was thrilled when I found this on Amazon, like everything else I can find on amazon. I am a die hard amazon fan and devoted customer. :)

Now on to the actual product review. It took a little getting used to and I did see improved results after about a good month of use. Meaning it took that long to adjust to how much I should use, technique, etc. I was a die hard Burt's Bees shampoo / conditioner fan before I switched over. I have finer hair that never really could get enough moisture from conditioners. The ends would always feel dry, no matter how often I go for trims. My hair would also snag and tangle easily also, as well as being really really frizzy. This cleansing conditioner calmed my hair and really moisturized it. It doesn't feel heavy, doesn't look greasy, and I have no more fly away hairs.

My routine. To give an idea of how much I use. This is according to the 32 oz tall bottle (I found one pump from the tall bottle is about equal to 2 pumps from the small bottle - if you are pumping slow). It is true, more is better. I have medium to fine hair that comes to the bottom of my bra strap in the middle of my back. I will wet down my hair thoroughly and apply 5-7 full slow pumps to the top of my head to start out. I will then apply 3-5 slow pumps to the sides of my head by my temples, concentrating by my ear (which tends to be a grease spot for me if I do not clean there well enough). I then apply about 10 slow pumps to the ends of the hair, working up to my scalp. I will then pile my hair on top of my head and message while adding 2-3 pumps to the pile and work to the back of my head and nape of my neck. I will then cup my hands to catch some water and splash it to the top of my head. It may sound a bit ridiculous, but it does really help with promoting the lather (it doesn't foam though). I then let my hair down and take a fine tooth comb and comb through my hair once to remove tangles and dead loose hair (starting at the ends and working my way up). I will then apply 2-3 more pumps, quickly message, and wind my hair up and clip it. I leave my hair soak while I wash my body, face, shave, etc. I then rinse my hair thoroughly. This is so important - rinsing thoroughly.

The directions do recommend to give a 1-2 pump and message into the ends after showering as a leave in conditioner. I do not leave any in. I found that did make my hair look a bit greasy afterwords. I would probably do that before swimming though, haven't tried it yet though.

Once I exit the shower with thoroughly rinsed hair. I will blot my hair dry with a towel, wet my hands, then apply two pumps of the WEN Sweet almond mint styling creme, concentrating at the ends and length of the hair. I stay away from my temples, but what ever is left on my hands I will then run through the top of my head. I do not blow dry my hair, I leave it dry naturally.

I think the most important thing that helps eliminate my fly aways is I do not comb or brush my hair when it is wet anymore (except while showering with the cleansing conditioner in it). I just use my fingers until my hair is completely air dried, for my hair does not tangle anymore after using this cleansing conditioner. I have noticed my hair is slowly becoming more wavy with body and I am finding less and less hair left in the drain of the shower.

I hope this reviewed helped and is a bit insightful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced and doesn't clean your hair., March 29, 2009

I really had high hopes for this product. I wash my hair everyday and was looking for a product that would be less drying and that would smooth my medium-thick asian hair.
I actually tried the sample pack with the three different varieties (cucumber, lavendar and sweet almond mint) hoping that I would find one formulation that I liked.
The verdict - my hair never felt clean and it was no softer/shinier than if I had used Pantene (my normal shampoo and conditioner). I tried to follow the instructions properly - you have to use alot of product - but my hair always felt like it had a thick residue on it.
For the price, this product should be life-altering and it's far from it. Actually I would not even recommend it as a leave-in conditioner because it is quite heavy.
I do realize everyone has different hair types so this product may work differently for you. This has just been my experience and I hope it helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING PRODUCT!, June 26, 2009

Ok, this product takes patience & an open mind! I've battled, suddenly, with dry scalp & previously tried this product but didn't take time to FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! I just bought it again & I can officially say it is the best & I'll NEVER go back to regular "shampoo". Fist wet hair well put in alot of product, I start @ the front of my hair & add product as I move to the nape of my neck, when I have enough Wen in I start to use the same scrub motion as I would w/ reg shampoo you have to scrub & massage, then I'll run fingers through to detangle & ensure product is dispersed evenly, leave it on shave, wash up etc... then rinse well, colder water works best & just when you think it's all out rinse some more! When I'm done I use 1 pump as leave in & remember don't be rough when drying your hair just wrap hair up & let it dry no rubbing! It's so good I just ordered a gallon size in Sweet Almond Mint! Try it!
