Wen Winter Vanilla Mint Cleansing Conditioner - 16 oz

I have tried various WEN cleansing conditioners: Sweet Almond Mint, Winter Mint, Cucumber, Fig. The Winter Mint is BY FAR the best for my medium length (4 inches below shoulder), medium density, straight-ish hair. I agree with other reviewers in that not all WEN products that are supposed to work for 'all hair types' are alike. The Cucumber is light, but will leave flyaways, the Sweet Almond Mint is an good all-around standby, but the Winter Mint works fabulously and smells the best. It also has the most 'minty' -menthol feeling on your scalp which lets me know it's working, and stimulates circulation. Also, I use the ORIGINAL WEN instructions. I am unsure why they changed them. I apply to dry/barely damp hair, then add a splash of water to lather. This allows MUCH MORE penetration of the product into the hair shaft, and yields much better results than rinsing first and applying to soaking wet hair. The difference afterward is extremely noticable. Try it yourself it you're a new WEN user and never used it the 'old' way. I feel like they changed the directions to make it more user friendly (it feels like it goes on easier), but much value and effectiveness is lost that way.

FYI have tried it against Hair ONE from Sally's Beauty Supply. The cost of a bottle of Hair ONE is approximately $10, so needless to say I was really hoping it would work. I was thinking that the cost was less than 1/3rd of WEN, but the ONE conditioner is only 12 oz. compared to a 16 oz. bottle of WEN so you lose a third of your savings right there. Price PER OUNCE if you're doing the comparisons. Secondly, the ONE conditioner is of a different consistency than WEN. It is lighter, 'fluffier' i.e. more air whipped in to the product, and unfortunately this means (believe it or not) you use EVEN MORE of this product than of WEN. There goes the next chunk of savings. Lastly, and disappointingly the result was probably half as good. The ONE from Sally's left flyaways, and a bit of flatness. It is BETTER than traditional shampoos, but was disappointing as a WEN substitute. Unfortunately I cannot afford to spend $5-6 per washing as I do with WEN!! it is crazy. I applaud ONE for trying to put out a comparable, affordable product, but please try harder! In all honesty, $3-4 per shampoo with ONE is JUST as ridiculous, but feels worse when the results aren't even satisfying. If I'm going to splurge, I'd rather be thrilled with the results and feel like I'm pampering myself. -Not feeling like I'm 'pampering on the cheap' and be disappointed.

I am going to try the new Gardenia scent next!

fyi use WEN for 3 weeks straight, then use a gentle shampoo on my scalp only, once. Had the BEST HAIR of MY LIFE. Super body-filled and soft, but very light and clean at the roots. Try it!

I've thought about trying Wen for a long time, and made the decision to do so when I saw the Winter Vanilla Mint scent. It sounded so nice. I've seen the infomercials and read reviews about how great the product is. Before I placed the order I saw a couple reviews about hair loss and didn't think much of them, because I figured folks just weren't used to combing their hair in the shower and didn't realize how much hair they lose on a regular basis. I wish I had paid more attention to those reviews! I have long hair (halfway down my back) and I love it dearly. And I'm afraid I've made a horrible mistake using this product. The first time I used it, my hair felt like straw after not at all silky and smooth like the models on QVC or in the infomercials. I figured it must just take time to work. Then I started noticing I was shedding. A LOT. Again, I figured it was just because my hair was getting used to it. I used it a second time and my hair got even dryer, and this time about 3 times as much came out in the shower and it just won't stop. I am HORRIFIED. The second time I used it, I also wore a tank top, so my hair was touching the skin on my back and neck. I am having a severe breakout everywhere it touched my skin. As I type this a week after the last use, my scalp is bumpy and itchy and my hair continues to fall out. I understand that some people may have reactions while most don't, but there really needs to be a warning label on this stuff. Like on hair color you should test it before use. Who would think that shampoo (or non-shampoo in this case) could be dangerous? Be very careful if you decide to try Wen. After further research, this seems to be a very common problem. Some folks have contacted the FDA and I plan to do that tonight when I have the bottle in my hand. Hair professionals have weighed in and stated that massaging conditioner into your roots can clog the follicles and cause the roots to die. I can only hope this is not permanent. Please, please use caution with this product.

I should also add that my mother is having the same experience. She only used it once and her baby fine, silky hair looks like it's been fried and she's shedding more than usual.

Buy Wen Winter Vanilla Mint Cleansing Conditioner - 16 oz Now

I have tried most of the WEN line of products. After using the Winter Vanilla Mint the first time I knew this was the perfect one for me. The scent is delicious, not over powering. The product leaves my coarse, wiry, frizzy, white hair smooth, tamed down, soft and easy to manage. If you are new to WEN follow the directions and you will not be disappointed. I rinse out the product with water as cool as can be tolerated then wrap a towel around my head as soon as I step out of the shower, leaving it on as long as possible. By the time I take it off my hair is almost dry so that running a comb through it is about all that needs to be done. It leaves my hair in soft waves instead of uncontrolled frizzy, wiry waves. If this product had been available to me 50 years ago I would never have used shampoo on my hair. When people ask what I use I let them know WEN and where they can purchase it. WEN is the only product needed although there are some styling aids available if you desire.

I am an avid Wen user for the last four years, usually I stick to the sweet almond mint, but I LOVE the scent of this winter vanilla mint! Ironically it smells more like chocolate mint though! Left my scalp feeling more clean than the sweet almond mint too.

Want Wen Winter Vanilla Mint Cleansing Conditioner - 16 oz Discount?

My hair is a few inches below shoulder length, straight, medium and very thick. So far I have tried the WEN Sweet Almond Mint, Pomegranate, Pumpkin and now the Winter Vanilla Mint. OMGosh! This Vanilla Mint is amazing on my hair. I get best results when I leave it in my hair for at least 7 minutes and make sure not to over rinse. The result is silky smooth hair that does not tangle. The scent is wonderful and not overpowering like I found the Pumpkin to be. Whenever possible I let my hair dry naturally, which gives even better results. Even so, this formula holds up better to the hair dyer than the others I have tried. Perhaps I have found the "WEN Sweet Spot."
