| Any Cleansing Conditioner users here? I saw and purchased some L'Oreal CC yesterday and tried it last night. It works wonderfully and smells divine! I guess it's supposed to be like the Wen products, at a much lower price. I've been dying to try Wen for a long time now, but just couldn't justify the price in my head The only thing I don't like is the pump dispenser on the bottle. It took me literally 30 pumps to do my thick, just past shoulder length hair, because very little comes out with each pump. If they'd get rid of that I'd be happy, but I'll be continuing to use this stuff. It eliminates a step from the process And it's only $7.99 instead of the $30+ for Wen. I'd like to get my daughter on this stuff, but her hair is almost down to her butt and it would probably take her half the bottle to do hers If I could only convince her to QUIT washing her hair every single day, ugh! She says it looks/feels greasy if she doesn't but honestly, the few times she's skipped a day it did not look greasy Ah, teenagers Anyone else try this yet?

| Just read some reviews on Amazon, for the most part people seem to love it. And the pump issue is also hit or miss, so I just ordered 5 bottles for less than $6 each, hope that one of them has a good pump I got free shipping too, so YAY

| I am obsesssed with WEN, I absolutely will not use anything else on my hair. It's a bit expensive, but most definitely worth every penny. I have super long hair and it says to use about 30 pumps for my hair length, but I don't find it necessary to use anywhere near that. My hair is a bit oily, but it's a lot less oily since I've been using WEN (9 months now) and I love it. I don't HAVE to wash my hair every day now like before, but I do right now just bc it's so hot here. I can't say enough good things about WEN. I've converted a couple of my friends and my mom to it, lol. |

| I'm a big fan of the L'Oreal Cleansing Conditioner! I have fine, but naturally curly hair and it is also color treated. I tend to wash my hair every other day or so, depending, and this stuff keeps my hair and scalp clean and my color intact. Yeah, the pump is BIG pain in the butt, and even though my hair is not to my shoulders, it takes too many pumps to get the right amount. Maybe we consumers should complain en masse to the company and get the packaging changed! |

| Hmmm. I wonder how it would work on our pups? It would sure save me a step, not to mention all the rinsing after shampooing and then again after conditioning!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I've used WEN for 3 years now and will never go back to shampoo. I used to highlight my hair, after years of that and normal lathering shampoos, my natural color had been stripped. After using WEN my hair has gone back to it's natural darker color, (much richer looking) is also very soft (like it was 20 years ago). I did read Suave Rosemary conditioner will work the same so I did try it in an attempt to avoid the more expensive WEN. The Suave is okay but isn't near the thick consistency as WEN. I don't think the results were quite as good either. I thought about mixing the Suave with another thicker/creamier conditioner, but haven't as yet. I haven't tried the Loreal version. I buy the gallon of WEN through QVC , it does last me over a year, as I wash my hair only 2-3 times per week and it's not long (right at shoulder length). So, even though it is more expensive initially, it really doesn't cost me more than another salon brand (it's actually cheaper).

| Oh cool I bet it'll work great, actually So how much is the gallon of WEN on QVC? I may have to get one of those so my daughter can start using it too. She tried it at a friend's house a while back and fell in love with it. But with her hair being down almost to her butt, it would break the bank to keep her in WEN

| I use WEN on my pup. It works AMAZINGLY well! It leaves her so soft and seriously looks gorgeous. Last edited by Pinky94; 07-10-2012 at 03:39 PM. |

I know Sally's Beauty Supply has their version too (much cheaper than WEN), so that might be another product your daughter would like as well as the WEN.

| I have very fine straight hair and the regular shampoos- especially volumizing types, were really taking a toll on it. I bought the Sallys Beauty "Hair One" and wasn't real impressed, tried some health food store rosemary shampoo that was gentler, Got a bottle of WEN at a yardsale for $3! It is the best for conditioning and shine but it is too "heavy" for my hair. My hair is in way better condition now that I have stopped using sodiumlaurylsulfate shampoos, I just need to find something with a little less buildup. Any suggestions? |

| The wen starter package is totally reasonable. Honestly you save money if you use it correctly, its all I use now...even on the furkids. I'm so obcessed and I have a mini crush on Chaz...
