Not a fan of Wen products...

First off, if you hate it, obviously there's something wrong with you! Either you're not using it right, OR you use too much & don't cleanse it out properly.
This product is AMAZING. It detangles, makes my hair shiny, leaves my scalp squeaky clean, leaves my hair feeling very mosturized, healthy & doesn't leave my hair frizzy.
When I first started using wen, I absolutely hated it! Then a few months later I decided to try it out again. Turns out, I just wasn't using it correctly. I have thick, coarse curly hair.
I hope you enjoy the product. It truely is a "hair miracle"
If you're wanting more out of this product, after cleansing your hair with the Wen Hair Conditioner, use the leave-in mask, it works very well! Good luck!

Shampoos with harmful ingredients like Sulfates makes hair and scalp dry, this causes weakening of hair follicle and hair-fall, therefore, try not to use shampoos without harmful chemicals. Sulfate free shampoos are a good alternative for regular or colored hair. They save the color as well as maintains a healthy scalp.

Wow these one posts on WEN sound like employees who are paid to write on message boards all day long. Yes there are jobs out there for people to do this. Interesting how they come to the purse forum to talk about it on their first and only post.

So it's essentially a dud? These horror stories have me scared enough to not try it.

I've never tried WEN and I'm not interested in the products. Those I know that have tried it didn't think the products were all that especially for the price. None of them continued to use it and yes they have field people who solicit the brand all over the internet. I've seen it on other forums and its funny because you always know who they are when they post. WEN could very well be a great product for some people however to insult someone who doesn't like the product and/or chooses not to use it, is enough to keep me away from the brand. There are numerous of great products out there. WEN is not the "be all to end all" thats for sure.

My best friend uses it and loves it. She has a pixie-ish haircut. I have longer hair (shoulder length), tried it for 2 weeks straight, I went back to my old Matrix products that work better for my hair.

To each their own.

I Couldn't agree more! I tried it, loved it at first but then started noticing my hair was oily and nasty looking (yes I used the recommended amount and yes I rinsed it properly with luke warm water at the end). It's not a product for every hair type, that is just advertisement! I love Matrix and Paul Mitchell and will continue using those.

Hello, I love WEN Products. The lavender is my favorite next would be the tea tree. I can feel the conditioner working on my scalp and I can feel my scalp breathing aftre my hair is done. I agree it is expensive however I do not use it everyday just sometime when I want to treat my hair. Its great when used in moderation and doesn't break the bank. Cowashing with a normal conditioner does work...well at least for me.

I'm not a fan. I got a sample size of the sweet almond mint kind a while back and decided to give it a try (even though I'm slightly allergic to mint).

I figured it's a conditioner, it can't be too minty. Sadly, it was too much for me to take and my scalp burned for a good 3-4 days afterward. Of course that was due to me being allergic to the mint in it so I can't fault them on that. However even after that, I made a point to see if I noticed a difference in my hair. It just felt limp. I'm guessing the conditioner was too heavy for my hair (even though I have relatively thick hair). It also made my hair oily and it just looked dirty.

Wen is a fail in my book, but to each their own.

Yikes. I definitely don't need more oil or dirty looking hair. I try not to wash mine every day so it can get pretty gross looking all on its own.

The cheap $1 V05 Condition works better as a "cleansing conditioner" for me. Wen leaves my hair so dry, yet weighed down. I still haven't finished my Wen bottle 2 years after purchase. I dislike it that much.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that had my hair weighed down by it. The models on the commercials always have awesome hair, wonder what they REALLY use.

i tried it and loved it! but..... it was more money then i could pay... since then i wash my hair with two things... some days i wash my hair with only conditioner i know crazy right? and it sounds like conditioner would leave the hair greasy... but! it doesn't it's called co washing and that's what wen is... it may be slightly different but you can.. and i do.... get the same results that i got with wen if i wash my hair with just conditioner... what i do is i put the amount of condition i need in my hair making sure it is all over my hair thickly then i splash water on my hair twice and rub it in like i would shampoo then i rinse and it works wonders! just like wen! but... i have found if only use conditioner for my hair after time conditioner can build up in the hair this "does not" mean my hair will look greasy after time... it simply means when i was washing my hair with conditioner only my hair would normally stay clean for two ta three days some people may only get two days out of it depends on the hair type but after time instead of getting two ta three days of clean hair out of my conditioner wash i end up only getting two days of clean hair only and then sooner or later i get one day of clean hair before i need to wash again the next day.... it's only because of the build up.. so the second thing i do is..... when I'm not "co washing" washing with conditioner i was my hair with baking soda... this works wonders.... you see when i wash my hair with conditioner my hair is silky shiny and the best it has ever looked but when i wash my hair with baking soda my hair is light and soft like a feather... different texture and style but both methods work great and look great i use the baking soda the most... and i use the condition for a wash when i want too... if i have been swimming or my hair seems dry from hot irons and stuff...... with the baking soda i just wet my hair and then i add the baking soda to my wet hands and rub my hands together it makes a very thick past and then i rub it in my hair then i repeat to get baking soda all over my hair then when i feel like i have distributed it as much i can around all my hair i then add a hand full splash of water and run my hands through my hair just as i would washing it then i repeat with another splash of water and rub my hair again and then after rubbing some time thoroughly through my hair i finely rinse it all the way and my hair is perfectly clean and it's never dry harsh which is what i get when i use shampoo so i no longer use shampoo! and those are the two things i use conditioner and baking soda! i know this was along post but a lot needed to be said! well i hope this helps and bye bye

I'm really glad I happened to see this thread, I was looking up information on something that would help me detangle my hair because as I have gotten older and am trying to grow my hair out, my hair has become more frizzy and much less manageable. I've also been coloring my hair for years and have recently in the last couple of years been dealing with not being able to get my hair to brush out easily after using my regular shampoos and conditioners I have used over the years so I've been looking for something to smooth it and make it not look so dry and fly away. I was close to trying the Wen products, but have found after reading this thread that there are other less expensive ways I can possibly get the same results so I'm going to try some of the suggestions here. I'm also glad to find out that others have not been happy with Wen's customer service, I was Leary about trying the one month trial they were offering anyway for just the reason that many have expressed their dissatisfaction is because I don't like signing up for anything that keeps charging your account after you order. I never would have guessed that you could just wash your hair with conditioner, I know it depends on different factors and may not work for everyone, but I'm sure willing to try it just to see if it works for me. Worst thing that could happen is that I have to go back to using my regular regimen, but instead of having spent a lot of money on Wen products which I really can't afford anyway, I have other solutions that are better on my budget and will probably do the same thing so thanks everyone for the information.
