I just saw an infomercial about the Wen hair care products. It looks promising, I have very thin hair that I have to wash daily because it gets oily quick. When I wash, or comb my hair it breaks. I've tried several kinds of shampoo a lot of seems to help at first and then stops. I was wondering if any of you have tried the Wen products, I would like to get some input before I forgo the expense. I hate the oily, slick feel that I get when my hair isn't clean. Since the product doesn't lather, does it really clean your hair, or does it make it feel greasy? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

I ordered the 6oz bottle of the sweet almond mint cleaning conditioner from Naturallycurly.com. So after it arrives (I can't wait!) I'll post my results on here so that if anyone else wants to know about it, it can give them some info. I wanted to get the offer from the wen hair care website but I was afraid that if I didn't like it, then I would be stuck with all that product. This way, I get a chance to test it out, with out a huge commitment. So, we will see.....

My Wen finally came in this morning. I got the 6 oz Sweet Almond Mint. I couldn't wait to use it! I read the directions first so that I had somewhat of a clue what to do. I rinsed my hair and made sure it was saturated completely. Then I started to pump the product into my hand. The pump was giving me trouble, every 5-6 pumps, I would get one pump of product. GRRRRRRRRR very frustrating! After a few seconds it started to work properly. Needless to say I have no clue how many pumps it took. I worked it through my hair making sure I massaged my scalp and my ends were saturated. I could feel the tingle in my scalp. It was glorious! The smell was nice, not too overpowering. I used my wide tooth comb to make sure it was evenly distributed. When I was done with my shower, I rinsed my hair and because a lot of the reviews I read said that their hair felt oily when it dried, I used my wide tooth comb to make sure I got all of it out. It felt kinda icky, not soft like some of the other people had wrote. On the bottle it says you can add a pump or two to your damp hair for an added conditioner. I skipped this step because I didn't want it to be oily or heavy. I ran my wide tooth comb though my damp hair and it kept snagging. At this point, I'm not too happy. =( I let it air dry in hopes that it would get better. When totally dry, my hair felt soft, but still looked a little fizzy. I have naturally wavy hair that is very, very thin. Basically my hair looked the same as usual with maybe some more shine. It was clean however, that was another one of my concerns, of how can a conditioner clean my hair? I decided not to give up on it, maybe I didn't do it right, or maybe 2nd times the charm. I would say on a scale of 1 to 10 it would be maybe a 4. Well, I tried it again tonight. I used 16 pumps, it fully saturated my hair and I used my comb to evenly distribute it. After my routine I rinsed out my hair, this time not using my comb and my hair felt better, this time soft, not icky. When I towel dried my hair, I used 1/2 of a pump, rubbed it on my ends and then the rest of my hair. When combing my damp hair, it didn't snag at all and still felt soft and smooth. Much better than the 1st time. After it dried completely it was much better than when I used it earlier. My hair is soft and shinier, my frizz is better, but not totally under control. I think with this product it's a matter of trial and error, I just have to find out what works for me. It definitely feels clean and my scalp is still a little tingly from it, I like it. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give it an 7. So, we'll see what tomorrow brings! I'm not quite sure about this product, It cleans well, smells nice, and my hair is nice and soft. I just hope it does better on my fly a way hair. I have read a lot of reviews about Wen, and it seems to 50/50 on how people like it. I've read that it's the best thing since sliced bread, and on the opposite side how they totally hate it. I think it's all a matter of preference, I guess you just have to try it to see how it works on your own hair. Hope this helps for anyone that is looking to try this product.

Hi, I live in Florida where the weather is hot and humid. My hair is colored and needs special care every time I wash it. I also have some frizz because I have natural curls. So I thought I will give WEN a try and see what it does, since all the celebrities who use it have great looking hair. The first time I used it I thought it looked more smooth. Then I used it every other day and now my hair is to a point where I don't have frizz anywhere and it is more manageable without any other stuff I put into it. I use the WEN styling cream with 2 pumps and blow dry it or just let it air dry with my curls. I have to say I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on hair stylists and products. This product is a 12 out of 10.
Chaz Dean had the right idea when he came up with this product. No more shampooing but cleansing and adding the natural moisture and shine to one's hair. I highly recommend it to every person who wants to get their hair under control with frizz, dryness and other hair problems. I buy through Amazon from Chaz Dean directly without making a contract. So I am in control when I need to buy more of this miracle hair product. Thanks, Chaz, for making me more beautiful.

I ( like everyone else) was up early on a saturday morning, and saw the commerical. My brother in law is a cosmotologist and so naturally I called him to find out if it was known to be a good product. He said he had heard good things, but had not used it personally.

Naturally I ordered it. Let me first say I live in Florida, and humidity is a way of life year round. I had naturally thin hair but a LOT of it. I "think" my natural hair color would be a light dishwater brown, but I have a full foil with bleach every three months or so. My hair is all one length down to just below my bra strap. I spend every day ( occassionally every other day ) blow drying it with a round brush to keep it straight and I use Wayne Grund products to tame the fly away's and "frizz" that come along with heat styling.

The Sweet Almond Mint, was on back order so it took three weeks for it to arrive. I read every review I could get my hands on because my hair is honestly something I LOVE therefore I didn't want to use something ( especially at this price ) that would damage it at all. It seemed like every other review I read complained that it made their hair greasy, or lifeless, that it was not a good product at all. The others would rave about how great it was. Confusing......
What I did learn from reading all the reviews I could find was thing. RINSE, RINSE, RINSE.. Be patient, RINSE again. And to make sure you used PLENTY of the product.

So.. My point... I used it for the first time this morning. ANd I can't say enough. I was prepared for disappointment. I was prepared to be quiet angry that I had spent so much money on a crappy product. And what I found was IT IS ALL IT CLAIMS TO BE.

Granted it does take some time, to distribute the product evenly, and plentiful, and also takes some time to feel like you rinse throughly and completely. So I would say using it on a saturday for your first try is a good thing, ( so your not late for work ) but the results are WELL WORTH THE EFFORT.

I did use the cleansing conditioner as a leave in as well, one pump on just the "pony tail" to my ends, where I get the most split ends, and did not put it on the scalp area or crown, and I used the styling cream about a dime amount in the same area. I continued with my normal routine, of sectioning and blow drying it straight, not only was it EXTREMELY SOFT, but very little tangles, AND SMOOTH. After finishing I used the texture balm, three swipes on my palm, rubbed my hands together and applied it to what little Fly away's I did have ( very little compared to normal ) and no spray required.

Overall, for a first time use I am EXTREMELY PLEASED, with the results. I am one of those women who are envious of the Panteen commericals with the women with the "sheet hair", that is shiney and perfect, no damage and just long and beautiful. ANd today MY HAIR LOOKS JUST LIKE IT!!!

So ladies, GO FOR IT, TRY THIS PRODUCT, In this economy, with pennies tight and us neglecting ourselves more and more, this might be just the product to make you feel beautiful every morning.

I hope my review helped!!!
