This person suggested using the Suave Rosemary mint conditioner for the very same results as WEN but MUCH less expensive!

I will tell you it took some time for me to get used to using WEN. At first I didn't like it all, because it's so different from a lathering shampoo. But, after 3 years now, my hair is almost amazing, in that it looks like it did 20 years ago. I don't have gray hair, just an occasional one shows up, but my hair was about 10 shades lighter from all the color stripping from shampoo use. Now, it's a rich deeper brown, before it was a washed out dishwater blonde color.

I used Wen on my own hair until I discovered Sally Beauty Hair One. It's the same concept as Wen at 1/4 the price. I use the one with Jojoba oil & I actually like it MORE than Wen. I have a Sally near me. But they also sell it on Amazon for $10 and free shipping with Prime...Amazon.com: Hair One Hair Cleanser and...

I've tried Mink Sheen and others but had problems with her being greasy after a few days. All yorkies hair is different though so it's trial and error in finding the perfect one. We got lucky with her type of hair.... sometimes I don't even brush her for a week and still, no tangles.

I was looking into the Nature's Specialties as well, that is the same thing the groomer that is training me use, but wanted to venture out and try others. Haven't tried Chris. C.

Good idea, Jen. I have some Argan here somewhere, gonna try this.



I have an idea for you...there is now some much cheaper WEN-like products at Walgreens, Drugstore.com and blah blee -- can't for the life of me think of their names, but maybe give those a try for the doggies....? I like this idea, esp for Marcel's coat, which can be high maintenance....let me know if you try something like this!

Gonna have to put som Buddy wash on their self as well.

I have used Yorkie Silk and Shine as well as Isle of Dogs. I prefer Isle of Dogs.The Yorkie product shampoos up well, conditioner needs a lot to do the job but does a GOOD job. I am not real pleased though with the combing spray.

Overall, I like the end results of Isle of Dogs better.


Louise who has lots of the Silk and Shine left

I think I will order the isle of dogs as well, just to try it.

I really like the Isle of Dogs. I use the Silky Coating Shampoo, Conditioner & Brush Spray. I also use the No.63 Detangle Conditioning Mist...but I prefer the Silky Coating Brush Spray. All of my friends always comment on how good Yoshi smells =)

I ordered some samples of YSS & PetSilk...I'm wondering if there's a huge difference.

Thanks for the reminder. I had seen Sally's version of cleansing conditioner but had forgot all about it. I think L'Oreal also offers their version now too.
