How does this compare to WEN cleansing conditioner? Has anyone tried both?

I've not heard of WEN. Is this supposed to be a 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner combination?

Yes. That's what comes with this particular kit. It was a perfect trial kit for me because I got to try products similar to those I had been using. My hair loves Wen products. I will be updating my original review from a few months ago so please check back if you want to know how Wen improved my hair and why I'm a convert. Good luck trying it and I hope your hair loves it too!

I have not used is as a conditioner but Regenepure has a great conditioner that you can use in asedition to the shampoo listed. I use their conditioner every other day and it works wonders.

Hey Vicki, I'm African American as well, however my hair isn't very coarse. My daughter on the other hand has very thick and coarse hair. For years I've been trying to find anything to help with her dry scalp. Nothing worked until I got Wen. Wen was actually designed for African American hair since sulfate really dry out our hair. Her dry scalp is almost gone & I've only been using it for a little over a month now. I've also noticed that her hair has more sheen to it & is easier to comb through. I don't think that by you swimming any damage will be done by using Wen, saying I'm also a swimmer & use Wen on my hair. It's supposed to help restore moisture. But my motto is try it once & if you don't like it don't buy it again. I hope I helped. Have a blessed one. :-)

Yes! I have fine, thick hair and I love it!! I've tried Wen, and while I like it, it weighs down my hair especially the second day after cleansing. Hair One doesn't do that, soI think with thinner hair, you'll be very happy with it!! Can't beat the price either!

You can use any conditioner instead of shampoo as MissJ suggests. Pantene and Asiam have done a 'great job' in naming their products 'co-wash', but as MissJ mentions, it is a process. You may want to consider what feels good to you and your hair and wash when you feel it's necessary (to Jen's point)

I use the beauty blender cleanser, I tried a mild hand soap and it doesn't clean it efficiently (IMO). The beauty blender block cleanser lasts a long time, so it's worth the little extra money.

I'm not sure myself on which is better. I've only used the Clear & Natural (with inulin).

I truly hope you give this a chance to work for you. I'm a big Neutrogena lover, however I did not like the Rapid wrinkle as much, (for me).I'm waiting for them to come out with a Bigger Bottle, and a Little Cheaper.Enjoy giving it a try. :)

The conditioner is a cleanser. The first time I tried it I was skeptical but as I followed the directions included in the kit it cleaned my hair almost "squeaky clean" without stripping the moisture. Having used it now for 6 weeks I will never go back to my Redken Shampoo & Conditioner.

Wen works on all hair types. It won't thicken your hair by any means but it also won't weigh it down like shampoo with sulfides so it should give you more body and movement. The first week I started using wen my hair really soaked in the cleanser but then gradually I had to use less and less in the shower because my hair was so much healthier. I definitely recommend this product to everyone I know.

No, maybe I was unclear. My hubby was losing his hair from "normal" shampoos. Now he's not losing hair because of using wen. It's a good product. His mom used the cucumber wen product for many years as well.

My {long} hair is frizzy too. In addition, it is dry & wavy, and curly when short. It also gets curly if I don't 'shampoo' it every day, which I have always done since I was a Teen. This "L'Oreal" product blows my mind: It works as well as "Wen" {I loved "Wen"} on me, at less than half the cost! And for me, its Scent is great! If You need to use "Wen," definitely try this. You won't be disappointed.

Yes, it does the job of shampoo & conditioner. I wash my daughter's hair every day so, for her, I put it in then rinse it out. When I use WEN on my hair I leave it in while I shower and rinse it out at the end.I hope you love the product as much as I do.

I love Wen, but this alternative is good as well as the Pantene conditioning shampoo.

I recommend Fig Cleaning conditioner. You just can't go wrong with this product. It is the best I have ever used on my head.

I would definitely give it a try! I have tried lots of different high end shampoos and conditioners and I still like this the best...for extra conditioning and smoothing try rinsing out the conditioner for no more than 5 seconds. Good luck
