WEN ?

I'm sorry, I don';t get the Hype. I was... I rinse... I rinse again... End result, greasy hair !

I agree with you! And if the best way to wash our hair was "lather-free" then wouldn't you think that all the big hair product companies would be jumping on the bandwagon???

You may not need that much moisture. I have super fine, super thick, oily hair and usually only use shampoo. I use a conditioner once a week, very lightly on the mid-shaft to the ends. Consider doing only one Wen wash/rinse and use less to see how it goes, but if not, it may not be for you. It is a great weekly conditioner and great for shaving. This is how I'm using up my stash.

A lot have jumped on the bandwagon. But I've not tried any other Conditioner only as a cleansing agent. After 2 years of WEN, in all kinds of mixes, matches and rinsing, I'm happily on to something else. The new scents sound nice, though. And I still love his styling things.

Just out of curiosity when you rinse do you rinse until your hair squeaks? I have found that I don't get all the Wen rinsed out of my hair unless I rinse it until it squeaks. Then I know I have it all rinsed out. I have very fine hair and I find that if I don't rinse it out completely it would looked kind of greasy and weighed down. Someone on this forum had mentioned rinsing until it squeaked and ever since I have been doing that I have not had any problems.

They are. Most major brands now offer either sulfate-free shampoos, which have little to no lather, or cleansing conditioners. They've been available from salons for years and drugstore brands started offering them a few years ago.

You may not have been aware of that, but that's not the same thing as it not happening. Pantene, L'Oreal, Matrix, Pureology, Herbal Essences all have cleansing conditioners. So do curly hair specialists Ouidad and DevaCurl. Drugstore.com alone has two pages of cleansing conditioners and COwashes.

If your hair is greasy and you are already rinsing well, it means you need to use more pumps of the cleansing conditioner. Also the cleanse, rinse, repeat method works. If you don't use enough cleansing conditioner, your hair will not be clean.

Wen doesn't lather in the traditional "handfuls of bubbles" sense, but if you've added enough water it will get "frothy". I don't know exactly how you used it, but if you don't use the recommended number of pumps for your hair length, and add enough water to make it frothy (takes more than a "splash", trust me), your hair will not be/feel clean no matter how much you rinse. If you've used enough water during the "washing" part of the process, the rinsing part will be much easier and faster, too.

Or...it may just be that WEN is not for you---no product works for everyone. Just because it doesn't work for YOU, doesn't make it "hype".

Have you been in a store lately and looked? Or searched online for cleansing conditioners? There are a LOT of them out there!

Lather-free may not be best for everybody....Lather may not be best for everybody. Isn't it wonderful that there are lots of choices, so we can all find something that works for us?

I felt the same way as you when I first tried it. Then a few months later I went back and tried it again, and this time I followed the directions (after having seen Chaz demo it). I wasn't using enough of it. Low and behold, following the directions worked and my hair was light, clean and shiny! I haven't looked back.

I do realize though that it isn't for everyone and it may not be right for your hair. I think you should try it again and use the amount of pumps it states on the bottle for your hair length and make sure you rinse well. Those seem to be the two things that cause people to feel like it isn't working for them.
