While channel surfing late one night, I came across an infomercial introducing a new hair care line founded by Chaz Dean, WEN. These amazing products were said to help maintain color, shine and volume. It sounded a little crazy to me since they were claiming WEN is not considered a shampoo, but rather a cleansing conditioner that does not lather as other shampoos do. I had to ask myself, are they serious? WEN is healthy for my hair, won’t strip out the natural oils, plus it help to maintain its vibrancy?  This sounds like my type of product, sign me up!

Here are some great tips I found on the WEN Web site from Chaz Dean himself.
 
To cleanse your hair with WEN Cleansing Conditioner:
1. Rinse hair thoroughly and completely for 1-2 minutes.
2. Dispense the proper amount of Cleansing Conditioner into your hands & rub together.
Short hair or fine to medium textured hair:
Use a minimum of 8 pumps to the crown section, 8 pumps to the nape section and 8 pumps on the right and left ends of the hair (total 16-24 pumps depending on length).
Medium length hair or medium to thick textured hair:
Use a minimum of 8 pumps to the crown section, 8 pumps to the nape section, 8 pumps on the right ends and 8 pumps on the left ends of the hair (total 24-32 pumps depending on length).
Very long hair or very thick/coarse hair:
Use a minimum of 8 pumps to the crown section, 8 pumps to the nape section, 8 pumps on the right ends, 8 pumps on the left ends, and 8 pumps on the back ends of the hair (total 32-40 pumps depending on length).
3. Work product into the hair starting at the crown and working towards the ends, massaging vigorously. Apply a splash of water to help distribute the product evenly.
4. Really work the Cleansing Conditioner into your hair by pushing it into the hair shaft with your fingers. Remember it won’t lather, but it should feel thick rich and creamy.
5. Comb the product thru your hair with the Wide Tooth Shower Comb.
6. Leave in for a minimum of 3-5 minutes then rinse thoroughly and completely. Your Cleansing Conditioner should be the first thing on and the last thing off in your shower routine.

The first time I used the product, I noticed a difference instantly.  My hair actually had volume, with no frizz; it was soft and felt so healthy. Being skeptic, I only used the WEN Cleansing Conditioner for a few weeks then decided to go back to my old shampoo and conditioner routine.  It only took few days for my hair was start feeling like straw.

So there you have it, WEN will costs around $30, for a 30 day supply. Check out WEN or QVC for more information.
