Nola504,
Thanks for the tip. I actually bought some of this "Hair One" on the way home tonight. Apparently it is the "generic", "knock-off" version of WEN.
Of course, I already ordered a sample of the WEN because I got so excited reading all these reviews. Now I can compare them and I will report back. (12 oz of Hair One cost me $11 without a Sally card)
For those of you who tried one of the WEN formulas and it didn't work for you but others are suggesting that you try a different formula; the QVC website had a "sample" pack with all 6 of their regular formulas (not Ginger Pumpkin) in 6oz (travel size, 60 pumps per bottle) for $59. That's what I ordered. A bit pricey, but I can try them all and see what if I want to invest more and in what formulas...and I'll have the handy travel-size bottles to refill for later.
I'll report back on whether I think the Hair One is equal to the WEN!
Thanks for this thread and all the valuable info!!
I don't know if I can try this product. I work in a dental office where I have teeth, blood and spit flying around and I need to wash my hair daily especially on the days that I work. I couldn't afford to use this product and have it only last 1/2 a month!
I wonder if this makes any sense... My hair is long (past my bra strap) and gets so filthy from riding, not to mention the little bugs that get caught in my helmet vents and plastered in my scalp. I'm thinking *pre-wash* with my regular gentle organic shampoo to get the majority of dirt out and then use the Ginger/Pumpkin almost like it was a conditioner?
Or is this defeating the purpose? Arghhhh, I wish I never would have read this thread.
How is everyone liking the Ginger/Pumpkin for blond fine hair?
Wen did not work for my hair at all. I really really wanted it to after reading all the raves reviews. I even purchased it two seperate times with hopes it would work better the second time.
My hair is shoulder length and on the thicker side. Its wavy and tends to frizz. All this product did was make it limp and look greasy.
Still can't justify the cost, so I went and picked up some of the "knock off" brand - Hair One. I got the Tea Tree Oil and the Cucumber one. I read online that the ingredients are almost identical to Wen except for the scented oil? Anyways, I'll try it tonight and let you know what I think. The tea trea one smells really good. I did consider getting the Wen pumpkin spice and maybe just using a little bit of it mixed with the cheaper stuff. My husband said he doesn't want my hair smelling like a pumpkin though. I think he just wants to save money.
I use WEN faithfully and have been for about a year now too. I LOVE this product and it has completely transformed my hair from frizzy flyaway to satin smooth. I order the big gallon size containers from QVC every June when Wen has their one gallon anniversary sale on QVC. I use all scents and mix them up. I have 5 smaller 16 ounce Wen sized bottles in my shower (I convert them from the gallon size) and I do a different pump sequence every day. Its like shock training my hair. I usually use 26 pumps per wash. One of my favorite combos is 16 pumps of sweet almond, 8 pumps of tea tree oil and two pumps of fig
I am not sure why you think it would only last 1/2 a month. I am thinking mine will last about 2 months, and that's using it every day with about 10 pumps.
I am on day 4 and the results just keep getting better. My DH even commented today on the change in my hair. I can't say enough good about this product!
Hey thanks for sharing your about your product here, i am looking for some tips and advice on what causes hair loss and how best to treat your hair loss problem.
But now i’ll use to wen hair care and i hope I’ll get good result.
I just want to say, after using my Pumpkin scented Wen for almost a week, I am loving my hair! Oh gosh, it looks so healthy and my new hair cut just falls into place with little effort. (I have very fine hair and it never looks dirty and even looks cleaner/fuller in the mornings!!) Now I just wish the Six Thirteen Cleansing Treatment would come in at QVC so I can try that!!
I took the recommended amount of pump and divided it by the amount of pumps the bottle should have and that is what I came up with. 15 days.
