Using traditional products, I look like a blonde “Roseanne Rosanadana.” To tame this mess, I’ve blow-dryed, flat-ironed, and tried nearly every product from DevaCurl, Ouidad, and the Tiga lines. If the reference to SNL did not help, my hair is typically frizzy, mushroom-shaped, and never under control.

Wen definitely changes that without having to buy over 8 products to do it. I use the Pomegranate conditioner, fig styling cream, and the stick balm. Afterwards, I have wavy hair with curls on top that look glossy and actually feel soft. (Not the hard, crunchy, sticky mess I’ve had with other lines). I’ve definitely not experienced any straightening effect. If anything, it brings out more curl. It also helps significantly extend my color– keeping it truer and glossy.

I am constantly asked what I use and how I get my hair this way. That NEVER happened as Rosanna.

One caveat, I use the Devacurl blowdryer when washing before going out. Otherwise, I let it air-dry.

For my hair, WEN is nothing more than a glorified method of cowashing. My hair feels exactly the same as when I use my Suave conditioners. The menthol in the cleansing conditioner makes my scalp tingle. I believe that’s a gimmick to trick people into thinking their hair is cleaner than it really is because it has that tingly clean effect, but I’m not knocking Chaz Dean’s hustle. I will continue to use the products I have already purchased. Will I but WEN products again? No.

My scalp was happy (could go 3 days without an itchy scalp) but my hair was not. It did not improve my 4a/b coils any better than Suave.

WEN made my hair dry! I followed the directions perfectly on the first day I used the WEN products and my hair seemed OK at first. As the day wore on, however, my hair started to feel like straw! Even my husband noticed that some parts were dull and dry. Never again. For such a pricy product I expected miracles! Back to my regular conditioner only method which works wonderfully

Wen RUINED my fine, curly hair. It permanently relaxed it and I had to grow my curls out from scratch. Since I was getting married, I couldn’t do the ‘big chop’ for a year and a half. It was awful. Half curly on top, straight on bottom. No idea what was in it for straightening, but I do NOT recommend their products, at least the Cucumber Aloe variety. Now I use Deva Curl products and couldn’t be happier with them.

I’m a die hard Wen user, and while I absolutely agree that the products is very expensive, especially with 3 females 2 w/bsl 3cs and 1sl 4a hair in my house, it does add up, but I have to say, nothing makes our hair feel as great as the Pomegranate clsng cndtnr & sixthirteen trtmnt. I just pray I can always afford this product, b/c idk what I’d do if I couldn’t.
