Those of you giving up WEN, what shampoos and conditioners are you going to purchase?

[Q4u]

I went back to switching around my shampoos and conditioners.  I really like Nick Chavez (Mesquite items), and I've always liked the results of Suave.  I also use Loreal products. Suave also has a nice clarifying shampoo that I use on occasion.... so for me, switching around seems to work.....

Used Wen for a short time - hair never grew - went to Theorie shampoo - love it - very mild bubbles - leaves my hair soft and very shiny.

I second Theorie!  I get mine at Marshalls, I have 3 scents so far.  I prefer the tea tree.  No sulfates or parabens, and my hair is super soft and love the natural scents.  I tried a Suave shampoo, OMG stripped my color and the smell was insane smelled like awful perfume.  I could barely stand it, it lasted all night, the keratin infusion one.  I returned it.  Just hope I can continue to find the Theorie at Marshalls!

I kept buying Wen but it made my hair look terrible (not blaming the shampoo, just thin hair).

I've always used many different shampoos.  I read it is better for your hair if you vary the kind of shampoo you use.  I just want something that gives my hair some body.  Varying shampoos helps.

I've been using Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioner and like that it doesn't strip my hair.  I have a soft wave in my hair and this line is marketed for the curly girls but I blow dry my hair straight and it works just fine.  I looked at the ingredients in my Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner and didn't see the 'bad' ingredients that were mentioned in that article about the WEN lawsuit.

I've seen Shea Moisture at WalMart, Ulta, Walgreens, Sally Beauty and it's often on sale.

Before giving up Wen you should google every single other product or medication you use/take. Once you see complaints and reactions to them, you'll want to give them up, too.

I having been using Pert shampoo with light conditioner- never anything else - cheap product from the grocery store. My hair is soft, I have very fine hair, it doesn't weigh it down and my hair is always shiny. In the evening when I get ready for bed I put a few drops of argon oil on my face to moisturize it and what is left on my hands I run through my hair. In the morning I wash my hair and it has never been shinier. Some of the Pert shampoos have more  or different conditioners in them - I always buy the light coinditioner due to having such fine hair. I wash and blow dry my hair daily but , to be honest, my hair is short and so fine it dries in less than a min. so I don't get damage from the dryer.

Before switching to WEN, I used Bumble and Bumble products which seemed to work well.  They however, are also expensive.

I think that some people just have great hair and they could wash and condition with anything and it looks good.  I have skin like that   However, if I used Suave (I have) or Pert my color would be stripped.

I use WEN and like it but at least once a month I use my Bumble shampoo and conditioner.  I am one of those people who believes that WEN, like many other products leaves a residue.

I switch back and forth between Oribe and Tweak'd (HSN). I use only Oribe styling products when using the Orbie S/C and only Tweak'd products when using that line (two very different concepts of hair care).

My hair is gorgeous : ). (humble brag, there, lol)
