Wen = WOW

AFANTASIA — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 16:54:15 GMT

So yea, I see what you guys are talking about. Dyed my hair last night and conditioned with SHP. OH MY GAWD! It was so amazing. The scent, the way my hair felt, smooth and not one tangle this morning... I think I finally understand the WEN love and why Chaz is so defended and admired on this board. Kudos ladies. The Sephora SAM cant hold a candle to the QVC SHP. Love at first wash!

Yay!! So glad you love it!! The angels sing when you find the perfect cc for your hair. The SHP is a great formula. I think this seasonal has the best performance of any seasonal yet. The spring orange blossom is pretty awesome, too. Enjoy your Wen!!

Thank you Hilary77. I'm sure I will have to purchase more before summer is over. I was going to wait until August. But i'm worried that some of the products might sell out. Has the seasonal oil ever sold out before the end of the run in the past? I know I'm going to want more SHP CC and oil.

I just want to point out that I don't think that has anything to do with the store. That's like saying that the Target Advil can't hold a candle to the Walgreen's Extra Strength Advil. It doesn't matter where you get it, the extra strength seasonal is going to be a stronger treatment than the universal core formula. If you used to QVC Sweet Almond Mint, wouldn't be as strong as the Summer Honey Peach.

Glad you love it! A new seasonal scent is offered every 3 months, so Summer Honey Peach will be gone at the end of August and a different seasonal formula will replace it in September.

so happy you found your Wenmate (or at least one of them ). I love the SHP too. It's similar in performance to the SOB imo. I wouldn't wait too long with ordering, especially with the oil. I was late to the SOB party and missed the oil (it was waitlisted for almost the entire month of March I think - maybe even before then). I could have sworn that I read in one of the threads that one of the ladies was waitlisted for it and it ended up being canceled and not fulfilled. It was still available on Chaz's site, but at a higher price.

Good to know... I did see some improvement in my hair with SAM which is what enticed me to check out QVC and the Wen board, but I never expected such amazing results with SHP. I knew the seasonals were more conditioning from reading posts on here. I've also read that the ingredients differ from the Sephora brand and the QVC brand of SAM. Do you think that would make any difference? I'm on to TT next and I'm not going back! Thanks for the info Chynnablue. I appreciate any details you will share with me.

It's hard to say whether the oil will sell out. It does go on waitlist often, so I wouldn't wait too long. The SHP seems to be pretty popular, so it may go fast.

Well.....many on this board have pointed out that the "globally-sold" formulas such as the ones sold by Guthy Renker and QVC in some other countries do have a different formulation than the same "formula" sold on QVC and at Chaz's salon. I don't have any experience with Wen products other than the ones from QVC so I can't say for myself. And obviously the "global" versions are still good. But there could be some differences that affect hair types. Just saying it is possible that for your hair Sephora's SAM may not even hold a candle to QVC's SAM, let alone QVC's SHP. For some the difference may not matter at all. For some it could be all the difference.

All it takes is one time! I love your enthusiasm. I tried for two years to get a family member to try it, all my pleas went unanswered. She finally tried it over a month ago and she loves it. She couldn't wait for the gallon and was in a panic she would run out so she ordered 4 bottles. I love it, glad you're enjoying it!

Re: Wen = WOW

Treeinwind — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 18:49:42 GMT

Glad you like and welcome to Wen! Just wait until you have been using it for a few years- WOWZA!

The lady who washes my hair at my salon loves when I come in so she can use Wen on me. I was there this past Saturday with my Summer Honey Peach and she went crazy. She also commented on how soft my hair feels even after color when she uses Wen on my hair. I would never be without my Wen

ctinaw — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 22:32:56 GMT

Glad you love it! I haven't tried the summer scent as I am awaiting the 32oz auto delivery. Should be coming soon! I was kind of waiting to buy an oil based on if I really love the smell, but, considering how much I love peaches (as I sit here sipping my peach shake), I think its safe to say I'll love it.

I've used the Sephora formulas and the consistency is different, but I noticed no difference in effectiveness. HonnyBrown also uses the GR versions, as do several other posters here, so they might share even more about this. The biggest difference is in the Remoist, which I noticed was much less firm in the Sephora/GR version. It still worked the same way, though.

I don't buy the Sephora Replenishing Treatment Mist because the last time I read the label, it didn't list the Matrixyl 3000 peptides that the QVC version has.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and suggestions. Had my second wash today with SHP and combined it with the TT (as my first wash) and I am amazed at the smoothness and volume of my hair without any heat or styling products. I'm a little floored actually. I know the angels and the QVC models always look great, but I attributed that to Chaz' expertise as a stylist (behind the scenes). Its nice to know that these products really can make a difference in the health and look of hair. It really is too bad that some try to discourage others from trying what might be an HG product for their hair.

Isn't it great!! I agree with Treeinwind. Wait until you have used it for awhile, WOWZA is right!! Sometimes I still look at my hair in disbelief that it can really look that much better just because I am using Wen. It really is a great product and I believe everyone can look like a Wen model.
