Default anyone here hooked on WEN?

bought it for the first time a month ago.
I tried to wash my hair with regular shampoo and conditioner.
I couldn't get the comb thru. had to re wash with WEN. so smooth
and silky. Now I have to pay big bucks for it. anyone else use it?
I'm wondering if I can find a non foaming shampoo that works like
WEN without the pricey price tag. Anyone else. Love this stuff.

My niece uses it and it is pricey but makes her fine hair much nicer.

I use DevaCurl, even tho its for curly hair it can be used on regular hair also. It can be ordered online from their site.

Look for shampoo that does not have laurel sulfates. Walmart has a lot to choose from.

I don't know, I've read some people don't like those products at all. Makes you wonder.

I've never tried WEN because of chemical sensitivities I have to use unscented or essential oil scented products. I have used several from different company with success. Any conditioner that does not contain silicones will work. Suave is usually recommended with the bonus that it is economical. You can find more information if you google co washing.

I have never tried it, I just always wondered why someone would name a hair care product after a skin disease.

you don't use a conditioner with it, but your hair is silky soft and not tangled with it.
i'm trying to find a non foaming shampoo, has anyone used a non foaming that works as well?

I don't understand.....why a non foaming shampoo? How often do you wash your hair...or maybe, if you color your hair it is over processed, maybe it is dry from lack of natural oils....just thinking out loud here......have you tried an oil treatment - about an hour before shampooing rub in some coconut oil......my old profession of hair dresser is peaking out here.....I always message my scalp vigorously before shampooing...just to stimulate blood flow and natural oils....but I don't shampoo my hair daily.....every third day...other days I cover with one of those old fashioned shower caps before bathing....don't know what WEN is...will have to check it out.....

My niece's hair is beautiful....very thick, long, & curly. She never uses shampoo....she washes her hair with conditioner. She said that works exactly like Wen. Another niece (her sister, actually) is a hair dresser & she advised her to use conditioner as a shampoo....said that's all Wen is!
