Anybody use Wen?

You know, that ridiculously expensive 'cleansing conditioner' that you see on the infomercials? I've watched them for months now, and wondered how well the stuff works. I have wavy, color treated, dry, long hair, and admit to being intrigued by it. If it works, I'm willing to pay (I think!). I actually did buy a small bottle, which came in the mail today. Anyone have experience with it?

Never heard of it..
i'll be watching this thread though, cause my hair needs help..

I'll let you know if I wash my hair later. I'm skeptical, but hopeful. The directions say to use something like 30 pumps for longer hair, but I imagine it's kind of like dog food; if everyone fed the 'recommended' amount, most people's dogs would be obese (and some are!). So it's a total experiment for me. I was fully prepared to flush the $35 I spent, with shipping, on a measly 16 oz bottle. Haven't splurged in a long time, so it's a little 'me' treat. Well, we'll see!

Yes I tried it and it seemed like it worked for a week... I don't know how to explain it my hair was heavy unable to style etc..

I have curly wavy hair & unfortunately use styling products...

I am right now using Aubrey organics it's all natural, in the winter I use the Island natural shampoo & conditioner... And in the other seasons blue camomille shampoo & conditioner... It is about $10 for each bOttle but it lasts

Good Luck!!

My mom got Wen and I tried it. I have a lot of breakage or something with my hair, i dunno but its always all frizzy. It didn't help too much with that, but it does make my hair even softer and look a bit better

Head&Shoulders silky hair or whatever the label is, is doing better for my hair than Wen did, but its probably different for everyone. And I only do a few pumps, 30 would probably be like a third of the bottle!

We bought it. Don't know if it will work or not, but I like the smell

OK, Wen update; I like it. My hair is much softer and in better shape. I have long, thick, wavy, frizzy hair that gets bush-like in humid weather. It hasn't been very humid of late, but my hair does look lots better than it did. I got a 16 oz bottle a couple of weeks back, and still have a little less than half the bottle. It says to use almost 40 pumps for my length hair. I use about half that, and wash my hair every other day or so.
There are different formulations, so if you have fine hair, you would want to use one for that type of hair,as it could weigh it down otherwise. If I have a lot of product in my hair, I will use a regular shampoo then follow with the Wen,but have only done this once. For everyday washing, it works just fine. So as long as I can afford it, I'll use it.
