My son's fiancee has taken to Wen beautifully. BUT when I sent some home with my son (they live in different cities ) after Christmas, I gave him strict instructions. And he said, "OR... you can just wash your hair with it." And I suspect that's what he's doing (i.e. treating it like POO!!). So my question is "Is it doing him enough good, used in this sacrilegious manner, that it 's still worthwhile to use Wen?"

Re: My son does it all wrong!

Men will always do what they want. If it works for him, then let it be. He is getting married and it will be his future wife's option to comment. Time to let your baby boy grow up and learn from his own mistakes (and I'm not talking just about Wen).{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Interesting post. My mother stopped caring about how I washed my hair once I was out of the house & no longer consuming what she & my dad paid for.

Re: My son does it all wrong!

Guys! I promise I'm not asking for permission to yell at my son! I'm really interested in whether people think Wen is worth using even if you're using it WRONG (not enough product, not enough rinsing, no repeat, hot water, etc.).

Re: My son does it all wrong!

To answer your question of is "it worth it" - the answer is yes. Even if you're using it as conditioner alone, you will still obtain some benefit. That being said, you're probably undoing the benefit somewhat if you are using shampoo again the next day, so it's still best to use Wen as it is intended.

Re: My son does it all wrong!

Well, I'm just trying to use it up & don't follow the instructions & my hair's doing fine.

Re: My son does it all wrong!

How do you define "going him enough good?" If it's getting his hair clean, I'm sure that's doing him as much good as he cares about.

Frankly, I pretty much share his attitude. People worry to much about the "process." Just wash your hair and if you like the results, it's working. I stopped using shampoo long before I started using WEN and conditioner only washing was never as big a deal as the whole WEN rigmarole is, even though it's the same thing.

If his hair is clean, he's not doing it "wrong."

If my MIL asked my GROWN HUSBAND what his "POO" or "WEN" method is, honestly I'd block her #. And her e-mail.

FYI. My husband uses Wen and so does 1 of my sons. I may have told them to wash and rinse twice but their response would be the same as your son's response. They wash their hair once and probably don't use the correct amount of Wen (as is the case with many women on this forum but it works for them).

In response to your recent comment, I don't think you understand. You shouldn't be concerned with how your son uses Wen. Are you planning on buying him Wen for a certain amount of time? Don't buy him Wen. Let him buy it himself. Who knows, maybe his way works best for him. There is obviously different processes that people use with Wen. Different folks, different strokes.

Were you with him when he proposed to his girlfriend? Did he propose correctly?

Cut the strings.

Re: My son does it all wrong!

If his method works for him it is not "wrong"!! Don't worry about him, he is a big boy now and can take care of himself. If he doesn't like how it is working perhaps he will ask you about it but it is nothing to spend any time worrying/stressing over.
