I just stick with the basics and I have great results.

I am not tempted by the seasonals at all.

I don't know where the confusion lies???

Just read the WEN posts...tons of questions, experimentation, longing for old formulas, etc.

I use WEN exclusively and I'm lucky because all the formulas work for me; however, if I was having the trouble you're having, I would stop using it. I wouldn't waste my time or money trying to make it work for me. Not everything works for everyone.

I guess I don't find the need to experiment. I watched a few of Chaz' recent presentations and I got some new tips.

I wouldn't stick with something that wasn't working though.

I'm always experimenting due to sensitivities. But also because that's part of the fun for me. I like trying new combinations and new wen products. I won't go back to shampoo, but I like variety.

My "experiment" with Wen began over two years ago. I watched the QVC shows with Chaz Dean for over a year before I finally ordered his product. I liked the idea of one product replacing many. For me, it has been an adventure that is neither expensive nor annoying. I still use the cleansing conditioners (some have given better results than others) and the styling cream (occasionally), but I have never returned a thing. Wen is less expensive and less time consuming than anything else I've tried over the years. I may be on the downhill side of fifty, but my hair looks like it is twenty-something Cool I have found most posters on this forum to be very helpful. If someone with different texture/condition/color/etc. hair asks me about what I use, I am comfortable coming here for suggestions. As for the occasional "obsessive/strange" behavior on this forum, it's an open forum; it's to be expected.

So don't open those threads if it bothers you so much, it's that simple.

I open them because I am seeking assistance for WEN products that might work.

Maybe I missing something, but what's so complicated? I put it on my hair, run a wide toothed comb through my hair, leave it sit for a few minutes and rinse it out. No different than any other shampoo/conditioner. Yes, I've gone through a few different formulas to find the right for me, but it wasn't a big deal. They all work well, some just better than others. I think some newbies may be a little apprehensive about not using something that lathers to wash your hair, but other than that it's no different than trying any other line of hair products.

I think a lot of the questions on how to use wen comes from those who are new to the product, or those wanting to maybe expand what they use. I have never found using wen " to complicated" or " boring", but with all the different formulas did have to try a few before finding what works best on my hair. As for wanting the old seasonals, I to am guilty, I happen to love the Winter Vanilla Mint and the Fall Ginger Pumpkin! For one the scents were my favorite and two, they worked well for me. And I also have really enjoyed a couple of the new seasonals. For me personally, if I was not happy using a product I would simply find something else that makes me happy, but I love using wen. And for those who still crave the old seasonals there are lots being sold on ebay.

I loved Pumpkin, Vanilla Mint, Apple Spice.

The POM made my hair flat & listless. So then I tried Aloe Cucumber - bad. Honey Peach - OK. Orange Blossom - terrible.

I asked if seasonals like Pumpkin will return and was told I was SELFISH and Chaz is a genius at experimenting & doesn't want to repeat himself.

I came here for assistance - I do like WEN - and got insulted.

I see many posters asking questions and trying MANY products - always looking for the perfect one.

I guess I will take the advice of many serious WENNers and go back to Aveda when I run out of product.
