Review by Sarah McCabe:

I have tried all three “flavors” of Wen, and while the Fig Cleansing Conditioner is my favorite scent, this particular Tea Tree Cleansing conditioner is the best for my hair and scalp type. I have an oily scalp and coarse hair that is oily at the roots and dry at the ends. I used heavy duty clarifying shampoo everyday with the hopes of obliterating the oil problem. BIG MISTAKE! This made my scalp itchy and hair dry from root to end, and at the end of the day my scalp felt covered in nasty greasiness. Now I use Wen Tea Tree everyday and my scalp feels healthy and comfortable, not dry and irritated as when I used the harsh shampoo everyday. I didn’t think this was possible, but my hair seems more balanced and perfectly moisturized both at the roots and ends and my scalp does not feel greasy at the end of the day. An added bonus is that my hair looks and feels healthier and than it has ever been. I even convinced my “product-phobic” fiance to use it just once and he continues to use it without further persuasion. I will tell you now that the product smells like tea tree oil, having a “medicinal” smell. At first I didn’t like the smell of tea tree but now I find it relaxing. The weird thing, however, is that once my hair is dry, there is no lingering medicinal odor. I even smelled my fiance’s hair, and at the very most his hair smells lightly of sandalwood or a light, woodsy smell. Definitely a great product. I wish more people would try it.

Review by Kimberly A. Mountjoy:

Absolutely a winner! Especially with natural hair. My resolve for 2008 was to go natural. This product is aiding me in transitioning from chemically processed treated hair to my natural (ethnic) coif. I use it on average 2-3 days a week at the recommended amount. It leaves my hair soft, manageable, and CLEAN. To increase lather and malleability add more warm water. I am still on the first bottle (16 oz.) and by all accounts will not exhaust it until late April. All I can say it REALLY works for me.

Review by Zyris De’Lat:

I have to admit I saw this product one evening on an infomercial. It intrigued me, but like any infomercial I was skeptical so I read many many reviews to see how well a cleansing conditioner worked. I found mixed reviews. I hate buying straight from infomercial sites, because 9/10 times there is usually an automatic renewal shipping which I hate (and WEN does). So I was thrilled when I found this on Amazon, like everything else I can find on amazon. I am a die hard amazon fan and devoted customer.

Now on to the actual product review. It took a little getting used to and I did see improved results after about a good month of use. Meaning it took that long to adjust to how much I should use, technique, etc. I was a die hard Burt’s Bees shampoo / conditioner fan before I switched over. I have finer hair that never really could get enough moisture from conditioners. The ends would always feel dry, no matter how often I go for trims. My hair would also snag and tangle easily also, as well as being really really frizzy. This cleansing conditioner calmed my hair and really moisturized it. It doesn’t feel heavy, doesn’t look greasy, and I have no more fly away hairs.

My routine. To give an idea of how much I use. This is according to the 32 oz tall bottle (I found one pump from the tall bottle is about equal to 2 pumps from the small bottle – if you are pumping slow). It is true, more is better. I have medium to fine hair that comes to the bottom of my bra strap in the middle of my back. I will wet down my hair thoroughly and apply 5-7 full slow pumps to the top of my head to start out. I will then apply 3-5 slow pumps to the sides of my head by my temples, concentrating by my ear (which tends to be a grease spot for me if I do not clean there well enough). I then apply about 10 slow pumps to the ends of the hair, working up to my scalp. I will then pile my hair on top of my head and message while adding 2-3 pumps to the pile and work to the back of my head and nape of my neck. I will then cup my hands to catch some water and splash it to the top of my head. It may sound a bit ridiculous, but it does really help with promoting the lather (it doesn’t foam though). I then let my hair down and take a fine tooth comb and comb through my hair once to remove tangles and dead loose hair (starting at the ends and working my way up). I will then apply 2-3 more pumps, quickly message, and wind my hair up and clip it. I leave my hair soak while I wash my body, face, shave, etc. I then rinse my hair thoroughly. This is so important – rinsing thoroughly.

The directions do recommend to give a 1-2 pump and message into the ends after showering as a leave in conditioner. I do not leave any in. I found that did make my hair look a bit greasy afterwords. I would probably do that before swimming though, haven’t tried it yet though.

Once I exit the shower with thoroughly rinsed hair. I will blot my hair dry with a towel, wet my hands, then apply two pumps of the WEN Sweet almond mint styling creme, concentrating at the ends and length of the hair. I stay away from my temples, but what ever is left on my hands I will then run through the top of my head. I do not blow dry my hair, I leave it dry naturally.

I think the most important thing that helps eliminate my fly aways is I do not comb or brush my hair when it is wet anymore (except while showering with the cleansing conditioner in it). I just use my fingers until my hair is completely air dried, for my hair does not tangle anymore after using this cleansing conditioner. I have noticed my hair is slowly becoming more wavy with body and I am finding less and less hair left in the drain of the shower.

I hope this reviewed helped and is a bit insightful.

Review by Wanda Roo:

I really had high hopes for this product. I wash my hair everyday and was looking for a product that would be less drying and that would smooth my medium-thick asian hair.

I actually tried the sample pack with the three different varieties (cucumber, lavendar and sweet almond mint) hoping that I would find one formulation that I liked.

The verdict – my hair never felt clean and it was no softer/shinier than if I had used Pantene (my normal shampoo and conditioner). I tried to follow the instructions properly – you have to use alot of product – but my hair always felt like it had a thick residue on it.

For the price, this product should be life-altering and it’s far from it. Actually I would not even recommend it as a leave-in conditioner because it is quite heavy.

I do realize everyone has different hair types so this product may work differently for you. This has just been my experience and I hope it helps!
