WEN by Chaz Dean Fig Cleansing Conditioner 16 oz

I am African American and my hair is Natural. It is very thick, full, very curly, and dry hair. It takes a lot of patience and devotion of time and energy to maintain my hair so I need something that will not dry my hair and scalp; will moisturize and maintain the necessary moisture balance; help detangle my very unruly hair; contain natural ingredients; minimize styling time; rejuvenate, restore, and revive my hair's condition; and lastly make my hair look as healthy as it is.

I first had my doubts and skepticism about this product due to the fact that over 75 percent of hair care products are not formulated for and created with African Americans in mind. I was just tired of buying all the breakthrough products that claim to moisturize, soften, and protect my hair; when in actuality they only damaged it. The most important fact that initiated my research of Chaz Dean's Wen is the absence of a detergent called Sodium Laurel Sulfate. I came to find all of the high-end shampoos that claimed to moisturize and restore health contained this ingredient. I then made a decision to try the Fig Cleansing Conditioner because I felt that I had nothing to loose considering all the money I had wasted on various other products.

The first time I used the product I was amazed. The scent was very natural and home-made-like. I wet my hair with hot water to rinse away any loose debris, dirt, and left-over product. I then squeezed most of the water out of my hair using my hands. Not a towel which can damage your hair if used harsly. I used about ten pumps for every section of my hair. Since my hair is thick and full I sectioned about five parts, making sure to apply it from roots to ends, completely covering it. I then put on a plastic cap/conditoning cap. While setting up my hood-style dryer to deep cleanse and condition it I could feel my scalp tingle, which felt very good. I sat under the dryer for approximately twenty minutes. I then went to rinse out the product. I used luke warm water and began using my fingertips to help rinse out the Wen. It took about three minutes to ensure my hair and scalp was clean. I wrapped a towel around my head and took it off after a few minutes. I immediately looked at my hair and it looked much healthier and my scalp was clean. Not to mention it smelled very good. My hair was very soft and moved very well. I put about ten pumps of the Wen in my hair as a leave-in-conditioner and heat protector. I then blow dryed my hair, which only took about fifteen minutes versus about thirty with other products. My hair was soft and healthy-looking without looking overdryed. My hair moved and bounced with only the Wen. It did not weight it down or make it to oily. My hair looks great and the styles last long. I can actually say that it brought out the best in my hair. The biggest aspect is that my hair looks faboulous without any chemicals i.e. perms or relaxers. The biggest difference is that Wen is inexpensive and works. Finally a product that can actually help African American hair. I will now throw away all of those products because they are no good for me and my now healthy and beautiful hair. The only recommedation I would give is to use a natural oil in conjuction with the cleansing conditioner; i.e Carol's Daughter line of Khoret Amen hair oil or Hair Elixir. You will love the results!

This product is terrific. I have tried all three "flavors" of Wen, and this one is my favorite. The very first time I used this stuff I noticed a difference in my hair. The cleasing conditioner feels great and creates a cool tingling sensation on my scalp...refreshing and soothing at the same time. I was suprised at how clean my hair feels without the lather of traditional shampoo. After blowdrying my hair was really soft and my usual frizz was gone. If you are thinking about trying Wen, I think you should go for it. Your hair will look and feel fantastic!

I am African American, my hair is long (mid back when pressed), an afro full of dry frizz and curls. With hair like mine its important i keep it moisturized or else my hair will become brittle and break off. I take special care in making sure my natural hair is always moisturized so i can keep my length. Now on to the pros and cons of this product:

WEN Pros

1. Arrived 2 days after shipment..yay!...hence the 1 star.

WEN Cons

1. The ingredientsWhen i looked on the back of the bottle i immediately noticed Wen is not as natural as is portrayed. Heres a list of the synthetic ingredients: Cetyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate,Cetearyl Alcohol, trimethysilylamodimethicone, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Polysorbate 60, & Methychlorisothiazolinone...theres more sythetic than natural ingredients

*In the back of the booklet that comes with the purchase, the purpose of each ingredient is listed..they tried to be helpful i guess.

2.It leaves a coat on the hairI followed all the instuctions for this product perfectly. When i washed the product out, my curls were definitely more defined...but they werent soft at all. My hair felt like it was stripped, then had a coating over it to make it shine. But there was no real penetration of moisture. This proved to be even more true when i attempted to straighten my hair. What usually is a head full of thick body unfortunately turned into a haystack...dry with no real moisture.

3. The smellI read reviews that the FIG WEN has a horrible medicated scent. Then I saw reviews saying it smells good.

Honestly the smell is medicated-ish...but its not overpowering to the point i wanted to run from the bottle. I think most people just are used to their hair smelling good and fruity..smelling medicated is a bit outside the comfort zone.

NOTE: The smell is forgivable if it actually delivered great results.

.....so honestly this product was not worth the box it came in. But i wont leave you with all negative. I'll put you on to the product that freakin sved my hair after WEN wrecked it. This product will moisturize, leave hair silky, and do what it promises. In fact what it promises is an understatement to the miricle it performed. You must try KARENS BODY BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTS!!!! It completely revitalized my hair after this wrecked it. When you review her products you will rarely see a bad review, honestly. Her hair milk, luscious lock deep conditioner, and conditioners are to die for, and they smell great! Plus all her products are ACTUALLY natural! (go figure!) Her products are handmade, and customer service is great.

I really wanted to love WEN, I was super excited when it arrived...but i have to honest, It left me nothing short of disappointed. Hope this helps

THIS PRODUCT WORKS! I have extremely dry, extremely curly, extremely frizzy hair. Although I've tried to use top-quality products on my hair and go to a salon to have my hair shampooed and styled, my hair has never felt moisturized and healthy. Until now. The Fig cleansing conditioner left my hair feeling soft and very easy to untangle. I took it to my salon, and my stylists were RAVING about being able to feel the moisture in my hair. No one has ever said that about my hair in my life!

I did have a short learning curve. This product is a no-shampoo cleanser, so it doesn't lather. I had to learn how to massage the product through my hair properly. I also had to learn to "feel" how much of the product my hair needed--some spots needed a little, and some spots needed a lot. But it was well worth it. The product's fragrance also reminds me of a cherry cough drop, which didn't bother me at all.

I'm very pleased with this product.

I received this product about a month ago and have been hooked ever since. I'm currently deployed to the VERY dry desert of Iraq and this product has all but transformed my hair. My coarse textured hair is now soft, silky, and looks and feels healthier than it's ever been. The conditioner creates a light tingle as it sits and the scent is very pleasant as well. I will definitely purchase more of this item. It's worth the $28 price tag.
