Wen

@segrl21 My hair is really short & the fine tooth side is great in the shower for combing out the last of the CC (cleansing conditioner) I use both sides.

This may sound like a dingy question but what do you do with the finer teeth side of the comb?

I use mostly fine teeth side of the comb, and occasionally - the larger teeth side, and both. I heard Chaz mentioning to comb through CC in shower first with larger side, then with finer.

But, I guess this would depend on your hair. The finer teeth also do a good job gently teasing hair, if one desires to do it.

Several people have been asking about the different variations in the Wen combs over the years. From what I've read, there are three different variations:

* the original Guthy Renkert version sold in the Wen infomercials

* the Wen comb sold through Chaz's salon and available in select QVC Wen kits

* as of around March 2014, an updated version of the Wen comb available at Chaz's sit and in various QVC Wen kits which is less likely to break

On 3/28/14, Wen customer service shared more information about the various Wen combs. You'll find this information at the very end of this post. I also just added it to my original post in this thread, but I thought I'd repost it as well to make sure that everyone had this info.

Wen Combs on ebay or Amazon

Additionally, while I only purchase my Wen items through QVC or Chaz's site, I know that a number of Wenners have gotten some great Wen values on either ebay or Amazon. -- As most of you probably know, while there are a lot of great vendors, there are a few vendors that sell fake Wen products. And some Wenners have shared that the Wen combs they purchased were clearly not real Wen combs.

If you do choose to purchase Wen products from these sources, you should make sure to check out the customer reviews first. -- Also the best time to most likely purchase a real Wen comb is shortly after a specially priced Wen kit (which includes the Wen Comb) has recently been available on QVC. From what I understand, the ebay and Amazon vendors purchase these kits in quantity and then sell each of the items individually.

Since the September supersize remoist, as well as the recent (3) 16oz Seasonal CCs, each included a Wen comb in these kits... now is probably the best time to go Wen comb hunting. Happy hunting!!!

Wen Combs -- Three Variations of the Wen Comb

The Wen comb was redesigned in early 2014 to make it lighter and less likely to break. Additionally, Guthy Renkert sells a third variation in their Wen infomercials. -- In the 8 oz remoist - comb different? thread (message #17), FluffyBear emailed Chaz's customer service department about this question and then shared their email response on 3/28/14:

There are three types of WEN combs that exist today, and all of them are made from a material generally called hard rubber.

This is just a form of vulcanized rubber that is very hard and allows us to cut the combs with a saw and hand finish them. Normally a comb would be made from a mold and have leftover material that can snag and break the hair.

The original design was first sold by Guthy Renker as part of their kit from the infomercial. It was a good comb but we weren't completely happy with the unpolished surface, and the teeth had sharper edges than we liked.

We went back to our manufacturer and redesigned a bit which solved some of the problems we had with our original design by smoothing out the edges of the teeth a bit more so it was more comfortable to use on the scalp.

The latest version adds quite a bit more polish and shaved some of the excess material off even further so the comb would be slightly more flexible. The reason we did that is because hard rubber, while very strong, is also very brittle. Allowing the comb to have a bit more flex reduces the chance for breakage during use.

As you've seen first hand, a drop can result in broken teeth. This is more than likely was not the result of the new comb design itself. I've actually got one of the newer style that I've dropped multiple times and it's still perfect, and an old one that is missing 4 teeth from 4 separate drops. It really just comes down to the angle the comb lands at whether it's a new or old style.

At this time, there are no plans to revert back to the older design. Though I am happy to send you a replacement free of charge of the newer style, which is the one we stock at the salon. I can also send a return label so you can get the broken one back to us so we can send it out to our manufacturer for review. We do keep track of any breakage we are seeing with our customers and should a flaw in the design become a problem we would of course work with the manufacturer to correct it.

Sincerely, Chaz Dean Studio -- Email reply in reference to the comb discrepancies from Chaz 's salon.

I also love this comb. Best ever. If he does have a sale, I will stock up on a few more.

World Traveler · ‎02-02-2015

The ones I just ordered by eBay definitely show "WEN by Chaz Dean" (think that is what it said!) on the side and said they were new. Here's hoping that is all true and I don't have a cheap knock-off!

Wen Public Service Hair Announcement:

Since all orders qualify for free shipping, then I would highly recommend that folks at least purchase the Wenderful Comb (or maybe a few) During Chaz's BlackFriday sale this weekend.

bruingirl confirmed that Chaz will be having a BlackFriday Sale from November 27th to 30th. -- Chaz has posted all the key information on his wenbychazdean facebook page. Since it's a business facebook page (as opposed to a personal page), you don't need to have a facebook account to look at the information on Chaz's facebook page.

Almost everything in the store (except for the gallons) will be 20% off with free ground shipping.

Your hair will thank you for its brand new wenderful Wen Comb. Really!! My hair has an ongoing love affair with my Wen combs.

I've been singing the praises of the Wenderful Comb!!!!! for the past few years, ever since I started using it.

I started using Wen in December 2009, but I had been regularly listening to Chaz's shows for probably 3-4 years before that. Periodically he would mention how special the saw cut Wen comb was, but it wasn't available on QVC and (with shipping) it was close to $30 on Chaz's site. It just seemed like too much money to pay for a comb... but I was really intrigued.

I know that everyone says that they have the most difficult hair to work with but, based on what others have written it this forum, I really think that I probably have some of the most fragile and damaged baby fine hair to work with. Additionally, it's extremely porous: the Fig CC, in particular, literally leaks out of my hair shaft between cleanses.

I don't do any chemical processing to my hair, and I always either air dry it or dry it with my portable fan.

Using Wen CC has been a game changer for my hair. The Remoist and the Styling Creme both help to tame the frizz. But there's only just so much that Wen can do and so I still have frizz issues to deal with.

A few years ago, Chaz had a November Black Friday sale. I think that there was a 15-20% discount on products at his website, and there was free shipping on everything. Well, I immediately ordered the Wen comb (for about $13 total, I think).

Once I got the comb, I stopped using all of my other combs, including my very expensive Kent combs. -- I was sceptical, I mean it was just a comb after all. Was if going to do tricks or some kind of a light show?

Every day I checked my hair in the mirror looking for Wen comb miracles. And every day I came away puzzled at what kind of a difference I was supposed to be seeing. This went on for about 4-5 months... but I was steadfast in my use of the Wen comb because Chaz is the man, and I knew he wouldn't steer me wrong.

Then it happened!!! One morning, about 4-5 months in, I did my daily hair assessment in the mirror and wow!!!!!... it all made sense!!! By this point my new hair growth (5-8 inches) and about another 5-7 inches of slightly older hair growth, looked definitively better than the really old hair growth at the ends of my hair. The newer growth was significantly less frizzy that it had been in the past. I still had frizz in the newer section, but it was probably reduced by 35-40%!!!

Over the next 8-9 months, as I cut off the oldest hair ends, I noticed an overall improvement in my hair quality (the frizz factor). From what Chaz has said, what happened was that Chaz's Wen saw cut comb doesn't rough up the hair cuticles the way that other combs do. And those roughed up cuticles are what creates frizz.

Since then, I always carry a Wen comb wherever I go. I have my four Wen combs strategically placed around my apartment:

* my purse

* the bathroom

* my bedroom

* my travel toilettries bag

A few weeks ago, I went away for the weekend and somehow my Wen comb was not in my prepacked travel toiletries bag and my other Wen comb was not in my purse (how did I manage to do that???!). Well I needed to cleanse my hair that weekend and, lol, I actually went into a bit of a panic when I realized that I would have to use a non-Wen comb. I actually thought about not cleansing my hair but I had to because my hair was looking dirty. Well, my hair seems to have survived the abuse, but it strengthened my resolve to collect a few more Wen combs... maybe 9-12 would be enough.

I just got my fourth Wen comb in Chaz's latest, greatest OTO of (3) 16oz. Seasonal CCs plus the wenderful Wen comb for around $68-9. -- This was an amazing OTO and I am hoping that he will repeat it again for the Seasonals in the other seasons. Because, while the CCs in these sets are a great price, well I want/need at least a few more Wen combs.

So here's my take away on the Wen comb...

At some point or other, probably each one of us has said:

"Why didn't I listen to Chaz the first time?"

lol, I know I've had that thought on a number of occasions.

So get yourself a Wen comb or two... or maybe five... build up a collection.

If Chaz has a Black Friday sale again at the end of November, then he might be offering free shipping on all orders. If he does, then this would be the ideal time to pick up the wenderful Wen comb... or combs.

Your hair will thank you for it.
