Ok so we have all seen the oh so convincing infomercial about Wen. If you happen to be the exception to that rule, Wen is a natural conditioning system that gives you amazingly beautiful locks and reduces your need for all other hair care products. Considering that my hair is almost to my waist, I love the idea of less hair care products.
So after seeing this infomercial I surfed and surfed finding many reviews about the product. I was hoping to hear nothing but rave reviews. Turns out about half of us love it and half of us hate it. OK, no worries. Still worth a shot. During my initial research I discovered that Wen is ordered through a membership which automatically sends you more. I am ok with this because I have had an excellent experience with Sheer Cover which offers a similar program. At this point I was still in. However after seeing that this product runs around twenty dollars a bottle and considering how much hair I have I decided I needed to seek an alternative and try before I buy.
I started finding reviews where customers who loved Wen had changed to a product offered only through Sally's. Hair One it was called and it was offered in similar formulas to Wen. So off to Sally's I went. Just $10.99 and I had the product. Crossing my fingers and hoping this was going to be my miracle find I headed to the shower...
Fresh from the shower I wanted to give you my immediate impression. First of all a lot of reviews mentioned how awful they felt the smell was. I admit it's not Paul Mitchell, but I find it to be a clean scent not offensive at all. For the record it comes in several styles. I choose the one that said for dry hair - Olive Oil. The process was not complicated. Put it in and add a little water to lather and then put some more in and comb with a wide tooth comb. After that I clipped it up and let it stay for about five minutes. It felt good. Your scalp tingles in a nice way. When I did the final rinse it felt transformed. My hair became like silk. No joke. Silk girls! Woo Hoo!
Right now it's still wet so I will update again later. A few last thoughts for tonight....
~Several of the reviewers who did not like it as a daily shampoo still loved it as a leave in conditioner.
~This is odd, but many people were praising it as a shaving cream. Admittedly, I have not tested this theory..
~You can try Wen without subscribing through Amazon. You can also find Hair One on there.
More later....
I am following up as promised. Day Two of Hair One and so far I am still loving it. I put no other hair care products in today but you would never know it. Killer shine, awesome bounce, super soft. Several people liked it for the first week though and then started liking it less. To be fair I will follow up again next week and we shall see if I have indeed found the simple solution to maintaining long hair with low maintenance. Hoping for the best.
