Well, as luck would have it, my roommate stole my shampoo. (You can read my whole series on my terrible roommate experiences here.) So, my mom came to my rescue with her un-used Wen hair care system. (Let us never forget how awesome mom's are. Even though they can drive us crazy sometimes!) HINT: If you do decide to buy this product- make sure you learn HOW to use it from YouTube. And use the amount they say to.. It'll save you a lot of heart ache. Don't worry- that's what I'm here for. To mess up and help you learn from my mistakes. On to the review!
Day 1 Review:
It's not like normal shampoo and conditioner. Basically it's one product that you use at first as a shampoo and let it sit in your hair for 3-5 minutes. Then you rinse it out and you can choose to use it as a second time for conditioner. (I only used it for the first 5 minutes. Ain't nobody got time to condition after!) The scent is nice, it doesn't lather well, and it did make my hair feel soft and take all tangles out without the help of a comb. (Winning!) I did notice however, upon letting my hair dry slightly, it provoked more of my natural curl. My hair is slightly more frizzy than I'd like it to be even after using the leave-in spray. But we'll see how it continues to work! Could be my life saving grace of a hair care system! Let's hope my roommate doesn't steal this one...
Day 2 Review:
Well, let's call it the second time I've used it- review. It's been about a week since I've used this product. I wash my hair 2-3 times a week. And I had a hair appointment this past week so I only just washed it. BUT that's beyond the point. I still think this product makes my hair way curlier and it doesn't feel as clean on the second and third day. But I'll keep trying it until I run out!
Day 3 Review:
All I can say is.. ew. My hair feels gross and not moisturized at all. I'm not so sure I can grove with this. It's making my hair feel really weighed down and greasy.. But like I said, I'll keep trying until I run out.
Day 4 Review:
Can I just say.. Sometimes Brooke is not smart. I FINALLY got frustrated and looked up how to use the Wen Conditioning System on YouTube. And let me just say- Miracles happened! This stuff is amazing!! Now I can see what all the hype is about! My hair feels moisturized, full, healthy, and looks it too! The only regret I have now is not learning how to use it sooner. And the fact that I only have one more wash left until I run out :( But that's okay.. It's been about 2 and 1/2 weeks that I've been using the product at this point.
1 Month Review:
Okay, I'm officially hooked on using cleansing conditioners instead of the normal shampoo and conditioners that I was using before! My hair is amazingly soft and clean! I can go 5-6 days in between washing and my hair looks as good on the 5th day as it does on the 1st! The only thing I'm concerned about is the price (I am a college student after all!) So I decided to try to find a replacement. So far, Pantene Pro-V seems to do an adequate job as being a drug store swap.
I'll keep you updated!
Xoxo,
