5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it, May 16, 2010

This review is from: WEN Set of Three for Fine-Medium Hair - 6oz (Health and Beauty)

I am a professional hairstylist. I have access to great products at half the price of retail. I have naturally curly hair which I color and heat-style on a regualr basis.

While I concider my hair easy to manipulate, I find when I use Wen my hair is super shiny, managable, and much much healthier than when I have used any of the other professional products on the market available to me.

Initially I purchased the Sweet Almond Mint through the infomercial ... then researched through Amazon! I'm happy to have found Amazon because there is much more to choose from and the reviews are terrific. I simply called and cancelled my 'membership' before my next shipment with out any problems.

I love the results I received using the Sweet Almond Mint and decided to try something else and purchased the Fig. At first I found it to be overly heavy for my hair which is of medium density, but fine strands which can tend to frizz if I don't have the right amount of hydration to hold soft curls with out any sort of product feeling.

I found if I use much less of the product for leave in, and as well a small amount of styling cream just before I get out of the shower the results are great, beyond my expectations. With the Sweet Almond Mint I wasn't worried about using 'too much', it was far less of a learning curve.

I do find the Fig too heavy when I straighten my hair, particularly if I am not going to do my hair the next day. It feels limp and heavy compared to the 'just blown out' fullness of the day before. With the Sweet Almond Mint it still felt bouncy, even on the third day!

I honestly wondered if all the cleansing conditioners were the same with different scents... They do vary!

I found with the Sweet Almond Mint even on the third day my hair still felt fresh and soft.

I particularly hate that slept on next day hair smell and don't have it when I use Wen.

The smaller bottles require more pumps. I have a mid length cut and use 4 for the crown, 4 for the sides, and 4 for the back. With the large bottles more is pumped out.

I read one review that simply stated, you'll figure out how much you need... you will.

I'm interested in trying the Cucumber and Lavendar, particularly so I can more accurately gage what my clients might prefer for their hair type with out having to do as much trial and error as I am willing do. And I HAVE recommended Wen to my clients.

I think the deal with three might be a great start for someone interested in Wen but not sure what they need.

Over-all I think the Sweet Almond Mint is the perfect fit for just about anyone.

I will admit it is refreshing to use, it wakes me up ... however, it does smell ... different ... minty, maybe even a bit medicinal. Though smell is subjective from one person to another. However, it doesn't linger and won't compete with whatever perfume or scent someone would wear.

Hope this helps, I have tried to be as detailed as I could be.

I couldn't wait to post this review, we used Wen Sweet Almond Conditioner Cleanser on my 11 and 16 year old daughters. I thought this would eliminate the need to smooth fuzzies and help bottoms of their hair, which were drier than the top.
My 11 yr. old has fine but thick hair to her mid-back. We used six pumps and didn't have any problems rinsing it out. I think we will use a little more on the ends next time. Her hair was always gorgeous, but now it is smooth and looks like she just left the salon. We waited until it was 3/4 dry before blow drying it and brushing it occassionally throughout the blowdry.
My 16 yr. old has to-the-shoulder length medium coarse thick hair with large natural curls on the ends of her hair. She wears it both curly and straight. She had to use 20 pumps. She blow dried it right away and her hair feels like soft fine hair and like she just left the salon. Her hair was always gorgeous before, but we joked that it felt like horse hair. She still had to straighten it a little, but maybe 5 minutes instead of 20 minutes. Plus, as we work with this product more, we may find ways to eliminate the straightener all together.
Their hair doesn't look greasy and feels incredible - even my husband could see the difference and when I suggested he try it, he agreed.
I have long (medium coarseness) thick hair. I find that the 15-20 pumps of the Sweet Almond Mint works better than the others Wen makes for medium hair. The ends of my hair that were drier than the scalp area look excellent now - smooth and silky.
None of us have had luck with the cucumber or lavendar. My 16 yr. old wants to try one of the Wen products for coarse hair, as she didn't think her hair was manageable after repeated use of the almond.
We still think it is a super product and will re-purchase the almond and maybe one for coarse hair.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, though not a miracle product, January 3, 2010

This review is from: WEN Set of Three for Fine-Medium Hair - 6oz (Health and Beauty)

I have long, thin hair and am a minimalist when it comes to it. I always let it air dry and rarely style it, but I do put coconut oil in it to add some moisture and shine. Even so, my hair is dry and poofy, so I was really attracted to Wen after seeing the commercial a couple months ago.

I'm not a big spender when it comes to hair products, so buying a product this expensive was a jump for me. To make it last, I washed my hair only every other day (which I used to do with normal shampoo to help with the dryness), and I used only about 12 pumps instead of the suggested number. 12 pumps was still enough to sufficiently coat my hair, so I think this was fine. Doing these two things, I was able to stretch the three bottles to last about two months.

Overall I really like Wen and will buy more. It's certainly no miracle product, and I doubt you'll get exactly what you see on the commercial or website. For me, my hair is much softer and feels healthier and more moisturized. It still has some poof, but not as much. And I still use the coconut oil in certain areas to "lock in" the softness and add shine. I did try a pump of Wen as a styling cream, but it made my hair a little sticky. Another thing I really like about it is that unlike other conditioners, which can be really difficult washing out of your hair, Wen washes out easily.

Besides having softer, healthier hair, I found some smaller benefits from using Wen. When I wash and comb my hair, noticeably less gets pulled out. Shampooing also used to make my scalp very irritated and itchy on the top, but it's improved a lot since then, and I expect it'll keep getting better.

Although I didn't like the scents of any of the bottles, I'm going to buy more of the lavender. I especially did not like the cucumber one, because the smell stung my eyes a little. One other thing I noticed was that as more time went by, I think my hair got used to the products and the cleanness of my hair didn't last as long as it had in the beginning. I'm going to try a normal shampoo maybe once a week and see if that helps clarify it. And one thing I did not like about the packaging is that by the bottom of each bottle, the pump stopped working well and I had to scoop out the last of it with my fingers.

All in all, I recommend it for dry and damaged hair, just don't expect to come out looking like their ads.
