  I colour my hair, wear it long (mid back) and have struggled with split ends for years. Every time I managed to get it to grow another inch, I had to have that inch cut off because of the split ends.

  Enter WEN, hero of the hour (and day, and year!)

  I have been using this version of Wen for 3 months now, starting just after my hair was trimmed. It has been a pleasure to use and my hair is in gleaming, soft, healthy condition, but the thing that has prompted me to write this review is the fact that I can’t find any split ends. None. All the ends that were cut by the hairdresser, 3 months ago, are as neat as the day I walked out of the salon. And believe me, I have just spent a good 10 minutes looking.

  Now I just have to wait about 2 years for all the old split ends that split up the hair shaft (presumably due to my old shampoos) to grow out, and I will have the hair I used to have in my teen years again. And to think, it was my shampoo that was doing all that damage…

  I am very, very impressed with this product, and intend to use it for a long time!

  Wen cucumber aloe cleansing conditioner leaves my hair a little softer and a little less clean than regular shampoo/conditioner. I’ve got fine, straight hair that is staticky and tangles easily, especially in the winter. I got Wen mainly for the tangling (since other detangling products haven’t worked very well), but it did not help my hair at all. My hair also feels less clean throughout the day. It *does* make my hair less rough-feeling and less dry, though, but I can achieve the same effect with regular shampoo/conditioner and a silking serum, and it is way less expensive.

  All-in-all, it is not worth ~$30/month. My hair is only shoulder-length, and is thin and fine, but I still have to use over 30 pumps in order to work it all the way through my hair. I got the 16oz bottle and it’s almost halfway gone, and I’ve only used it 3 times as directed (and 4 times as just conditioner, using ~20 pumps). I really WANTED it to work as well as I was expecting, but it really didn’t.

  I gave it two stars because it at least didn’t make my hair *worse* and it isn’t a totally useless product. It’s not one that I would recommend to friends and family, though.

  After a year on Wen, I switched back to regular shampoo for a little bit just to check, and regretted the decision in less than a week. However, we still love the Wen. VERY impressive product.

  My wife uses this one because she feels her hair feels less greasy than the others. To me, the Cucumber Aloe is a whole lot thinnner/watery than some of the others. I use the Tea Tree Oil.

  Hair type: Long, layered, highlighted, heat-processed.

  I am a victim and abuser of heat-styling products: blowdryer, flat iron, and curling iron. Oh and can’t forget hair coloring once a month! (Okay, I’ve been prematurely gray since I was a teenager.) But let’s just say, hair was STRAW-LIKE before using Wen.

  It was weird getting used to a non-lathering shampoo. But the way it felt after using it…like silk. I used to have to put on at least 3 different products to get a comb through my wet hair. But using Wen made the comb glide right through–no tangles!!! And when I style my hair, I noticed that it looked healthier and shinier than it ever did.

  So, I’m hooked. It’s kinda pricey, but it’s an investment that I’m willing to pay because my hair feels and looks soooooo much better! And best of all, it doesn’t feel like straw anymore!!! Woohoo!

  I first purchased a three pack of small bottles of Wen in different flavors: Almond Mint, Lavender, and Cucumber Aloe.
  
  I have straight, fine hair and it had been looking a little dull and lifeless. I had stumbled across the infomercial and thought it was worth trying…I was thinking of trying a new shampoo anyway.
  
  My initial reaction to the product was very positive. My hair looked shinier and healthier, and I had a lot less flyaways.
  
  The negative was that the product seemed to weigh my hair down no matter how much I rinsed, and my hair got oily quickly, so I had to wash everyday instead of my normal every other day. The Cucumber Aloe seemed to have the least oily effect, and I liked it enough to invest the fifty bucks in a bigger bottle.
  
  Now that I’ve been using it a total of about three months, I don’t like it so much anymore. I feel like there’s a build-up of oil on my scalp. The weather has turned warmer, so that might be adding to the oil as well. (Please note that I have never had an oily scalp or hair before.)
  
  I think I’ll put it away until winter returns.
