5.0 out of 5 stars Works wonderfully, but you must follow directions, May 18, 2010

This review is from: WEN Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner - 16oz and 6oz Travel Size (Health and Beauty)

I have been using this product for almost a year and I love it. I stopped using it several months ago because I'd run out and I thought I'd save some money. My hair started drying out and getting frizzy at the ends again, so I started using the sweet almond mint again. It makes my hair look like I just got it cut and it's very soft and silky, like when I was a kid.
There are some things to get used to. My hair has very fine strands but there is a lot of it, so it's thick. It's a bit difficult to get the product all the way to the scalp but if you wet your hair very well before you apply it, then plenty gets to the scalp. I also keep adding a little water as I massage the conditioner into my scalp. It's important to make sure the product is evenly distributed. I also scrub my scalp with my fingernails to make sure it gets clean. Then I just leave the product on while I take my shower. The most important thing to do is rinse, rinse, rinse it all out until your hair is squeaky clean. If you don't do this, you'll have very greasy results and your hair will be dull (this is the main complaint I see on these reviews). Once all the product is rinsed out, add a tiny amount to the very ends of your hair and rinse it out like you would a normal conditioner (a really tiny amount to the very tips of your hair). I wash everyday and my hair always looks great. My friends all comment on how healthy my hair always is. About once every 2 weeks, I do shampoo with a sulfate-free clarifying shampoo but I would do that no matter what product I use. I use the Wen as a conditioner whenever I use my clarifying shampoo.
I have only used the sweet almond mint and fig and I like the sweet almond mint much better because the fig has a horrible smell (to me). I have also used it to shave my legs and I get wonderful results. It prevents irritation and leaves my legs very smooth.
I cannot stress enough that if your hair is greasy when you use this, then you need to make sure you are getting it on your scalp and that you are rinsing it very thoroughly.
The only downside is the price. I usually pay a premium for good hair products, so I'm no stranger to paying for quality but it is a bit higher than I'd like to pay for something that I have to replace every month.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful fragrance - too heavy for my hair, September 13, 2008

I really like the fragrance of the Wen cleansing conditioner. I may be 63, but I'm blessed with natural oils in my hair. I have VERY rarely used conditioners because they have left my hair feeling a bit heavy. I do get the same feeling from using this product. Normally I shampoo every other day, but using Wen, it feels weighted the first day.
My usage will be perhaps once a week, but just since I cannot cleanse my hair with it each time - sorry, as I really enjoy the fragrance. It just doesn't perform for me as I hoped.

My hair is course dry and extremely frizzy, and for me hair styling typically meant a minimum of five different products, starting from shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner, pre heat treatment serum and blowdrying/straightening....
now with Wen, though I still use my serum prior to blowdrying, all I need is the cleansing conditioner. And I absolutely love the smell and cooling effect of the conditioner when I leave it on. Also the minty fresh fragrance, makes me feel so refreshed..... Additionally I have also noticed that I have less hair loss.
Its a fantastic product and definitely worth a try. Who knows you may get hooked to it as I did!
And oh, when you do have the time.. try applying this to your hair, and then sitting in the jacuzzi..... feels like you are in a spa!
For me the only drawback is that, I cannot agree to the fact that this is the only product my hair needs. Since I have coarse and frizzy hair, blow drying my hair after using only this product and none of the serum makes it look dry and lifeless :(
