WEN trial continued...

I have been using WEN, by Chaz Dean, on my oldest daughter for about 2 months now (that equals to about 1 shampoo every two weeks or 4 shampoos in total). I initially stated in the post WEN, does it really work?, that I was not enamored with the product, but that I was going to stick with it long enough to let it bear its self out.

So far some of my criticisms of the product have remained. Two months of use have not increased the products detangling ability. Her hair is still quite a task to comb out after shampooing. Therefore,  what was initially sited as cons are still cons.

The last time I used the WEN I decided to modify my technique to see if I could attain better results.

Below is an account of the process:

Instead of putting the Re-Moist Hair Treatment on last, (after cleansing conditioner) I put it on first (like a hot oil treatment) to see if I could glean any improvements (per my husband's suggestion).

This is what it looks like.

This is her hair after shampooing. I am very pleased with the shine and curl, but it was still quite a task to detangle.

Her hair ended up looking very pretty when it was all said and done.

I am still waiting for my socks to be knocked off. They are still, however, on my feet, warm and toasty. I am beginning to approach the conclusion that even though WEN is very healthy for the hair causing no harm as I can see, it is not an overall home run. My next step will be to continue to use the WEN Cleansing conditioner, but incorporate another product that may help to detangle. I will let you know how that goes.

Note: WEN comes in several “flavors” (for lack of a better term). If I have not already mentioned, I am using the Sweet Almond Mint which is the “signature” selection that comes with your 60 day trial. It is the default choice sent to you if you do not specify any other. Other varieties are peppermint, fig and pomegranate. I was informed by a WEN representative that “fig” may work better on “ethnic” hair. She says that fig was “specially” formulated for coarse, curly hair. I am not convinced that any assortment will make much difference in detangling, but we shall see…
