This may have been discussed before, but I've always wondered: When Chaz shows the pictures of the locks of hair pulled up to show how they've supposedly stopped breaking off since the women started using Wen (and no longer look like triangles), isn't that just the difference between razor- and/or point-cutting and hair that's cut normally?
I have very healthy, virgin hair, and the pieces of hair that my stylist cuts with a razor for layers look like the "Before" shots. The bottom layer of my hair that's just cut bluntly looks like the "After" ones. And I don't have any split ends in the layered pieces, so I don't think it's just that they're damaged from the cutting technique and the rest isn't.
Has anyone discussed this before? I've just always wondered about the efficacy of that claim.

On another note, what bothers me about the before photos where they have used regular shampoo and probably no conditioner, they haven't been styled, but the WEN girls have been. Not a fair comparison. And I am using Wen Tea Tree, every 3rd day then a good cleaning of my hair & scalp with my regular shampoo/conditioner.

I've always thought they were trying too hard in making the "before" shots look so frizzy, to sell the product.

The lighting is different in the photos also.

Yes, that has always driven me crazy, too! Of course their hair is going to look way better with "professional styling" than it would air-dried. It's almost insulting to the intelligence.
And I actually like watching the Wen shows (not exactly sure why, LOL), so this isn't coming from some place of being against Wen and/or Chaz. I just think it's unfair how Chaz can sort of get away with these shady marketing techniques because he seems so sweet and not like your typical used car-salesman.

See, they should use people like you as the "afters" without styling! Because I don't think Wen would be as popular as it is if it really didn't work for some people. I just know - for me personally - when I see a "professionally styled" after picture, no matter how gorgeous the hair looks, I instantly get turned off the product and wonder what it would look like air-dried, and why they weren't confident enough in the product to show that. (And I have tried Wen before - didn't notice much of a difference in my hair, but it might be - because I said above - I already have quite healthy, un-chemically-processed hair. So for me, it's just not worth the money).

Before and afters of any product, shampoo or makeup or skincare, never really impress me much. I go by my own experience with products.

I have tried WEN and didn't get the results I would like. My two (mature) daughters have long hair and both use and like WEN. My hair, on the other hand, is very fine, short and thinning. I found it was leaving my hair too limp and what I was seeking was body. I never see anyone with short hair as models. Do any of you use WEN and find short, thinning and limp hair is better with some combo of products?

Hello, HomeShoppingLover87.
When it comes to shampoos, conditioners and cleansing conditioners, the models' hair will always look nice because it's been professionally styled. I think the vendors may be showing that their products will give your hair the health it needs so it can look like that. I use Nick Chavez products, but hair never looks as nice as the models because a professional didn't style it. But I still like how my hair performs with his products.
