I am loving these responses! Prior to Wen, I was spending well over $250 a year looking for the Next Best Thing for my hair: shampoo, rinse out conditioner and detangler, moisture deep conditioner, protein deep conditioner, leave-in, silicone serum and mousse/gel.

Between Wen Fig, Wen 613 and Wen Tea Tree, I gave most of my pre-Wen products to my neice. She's a teenager and in heaven.

This August will be 8 years that I've been using wen...I have no idea how much I spend in a year...I just buy what I want and need. I will say I don't have nearly the 'stash' I used to have on my wen shelf. I've been shopping my stash and sharing it with friends and family members. The one wen scent I won't share is my WVM...that's mine, mine, mine! LOL!!!

I spend closer to $500+ per year on WEN (that includes shipping costs). I no longer color my hair since using WEN, so there's that. Oddly, I have no "stash", almost everything I own is out, so it's not like I hoard it. I have super-thick, fairly long hair and use it liberally. I use the cleansing conditioners, oils, remoist, styling cream, replenishing treatment mist and glossing serum. It would be more cost effective for me to buy a gallon of fig, but I enjoy getting the TSV's, because I like rotating formulas. No apologies here - my hair (and my dogs hair) looks awesome, and my natural color is great now (it wasn't before).

I have so much wen I hate to even admit it - and ordered the TSV the other night!!! I dont even care to tally up what I have spent but I can honestly say I have everything I need by way of cleanser and conditioners. I may have to replenish my styling creme but I think I could go for 5 more years with what I have. LOL. I have short hair too. I splurge and use it on my body in the shower. We have very hard water in Los Angeles and it helps control that dry feeling after a shower.

Great thread!! I am like some of the others in that Wen is my one big splurge. I stopped coloring my hair to save to buy Wen. I don't buy a lot of other things, but I do spend quite a bit on Wen. I buy way more than I really need. I like to have 3-4 scents in all of the products I love. Also, I have a family of four and we all use Wen! That adds up. If it was just me using it, I would only need one 16 oz. bottle of cc, one styling creme, and one ounce of oil per month. I do try to get the gallons and tsv's on auto delivery to get the most bang for my buck. I really don't think that it is that expensive to use if you only use the basic products (cc and styling creme) in your favorite scent.

I haven't tallied but I mostly focus on one or two gallons a year (if I only buy one gallon I buy two or three other 32 oz in different formulas) styling products as needed and TSVs if it's a great value and there is auto delivery. Seasonals, I usually wait until they do them all in a set and then I get to play around with the scents. The reason for the different formulas is because they handle different concerns: tea tree for dry scalp, POM for body in straightened hair, Fig for moisture and 613 for deep conditioning. The only ones I really consider just scent are seasonals.

I also splurge on WEN because my hair is everything to me. I wasn't genetically blessed so when I find something that works (understatement!) I stick with it! I love experimenting with combining different formulas based on the time of year & my current needs. I also ALWAYS take advantage of crazy good deals & the advantages of auto-delivery. I never want to be without my cleansing conditioners & styling products! I don't know the exact amount but would estimate that I spend anywhere from $200 - $300 per year on WEN products. Considering my beautiful head of WEN hair it is DEFINITELY a bargain! :-)))

One bottle of mousse will last me all year, perhaps even 2 years. I still haven't used a whole bottle of glossing serum. The things I use up quickest are the CC, oils, and styling creme. Since CC is in every TSV, along with different configurations of styling products I am never low on either. I probably buy anywhere from 4-10 TSVs a year and I buy a gallon of TT every June.

I spent a lot on Wen this year, and a lot of it went to gifts. Every year I buy something I really like and when I find that I buy lots more to share so someone else can enjoy too. For just my own hair probably around $300 to $400 dollars a year. As others have said I wasn't blessed with naturally great hair genetically but Wen makes it really great hair.

I don't have to color it anymore so it actually is saving me money because I was buying high end salon shampoos and cream rinses and detanglers. Now it is just Wen, I have long hair and I like to use a ton of it and I wash my hair even when it doesn't need it because I like to. I don't know how much it saves me, but I am sure it is at least the $900. a year I spent on color. It is the first time in my life I have liked my hair, that is saying quite a bit.

I think we talk a lot about the different fragrances and products because it is something to talk about , it would be pretty dull around here if we just said, "I have great hair, how great is yours?" Its just fun to compare how we use it, which formulas we liked best and what we did to get the best results. I can say that, well, they all work. Some work a little better with different types of hair but I used SAM exclusively for a couple years and got great results but i just love having different scents and formulas. Some people just buy one soap for the shower, I like to mix that up too. Variety is the spice of life IMO. I don't wear fragrance so Wen is how I play around with scents.

You all are motivating me to buy more Wen!
