Love It, Love It, Love It! Reviews WEN Lavender Cleansing Conditioner

I have very fine, long hair that comes down to the middle of my back. I have tried many different kinds of shampoos and conditioners on the market (Avaeda, Redken, Nexxus, Pantene, Loreal, Dove, Garnier Fructise, etc.) and they have either made my hair greasy, flat, knotted or dry.

The Wen Lavender shampoo/conditioner is the first product that I have tried that gives my hair some body, makes it nice and soft and that allows me to comb right through my hair without chunks of it falling down the drain in the shower.

Even the color of my hair is brighter and has more shine! This really is a great product for fine/limp hair. I absolutely love it! After each wash, I notice that:

• My hair is getting thicker (likely because I spend less time drying, flatting, styling, frying, etc)
• It also has more shine (likely because it is moisturizing)
• It requires less product (because it is healthier)
• My highlights do not get brassy (likely because of the lack of sulfates)

This lavender smell is a "real" lavender, like from the garden, not a fake perfumy one. It feels clean and in much better shape with WEN then before. I still use a clarifying shampoo maybe once every 10 days or two weeks to remove any build-up, and that helps make the product work better the next day.

After several positive reviews in the office, I decided to give WEN Lavender Cleansing Conditioner a try. I purchased the 6 oz box because I was so skeptical. I loved it. I went crazy and purchased the 16 oz bottle. Coming from oily hair, I thought it would leave my hair heavy and cakey. So long as you follow the instructions, your biggest fear will not come true :) 

Directions WEN Lavender Cleansing Conditioner
Rinse hair thoroughly and completely with cool water for at least 1 minute. Cleansing Conditioner should be applied in four sections: the crown of your head, the nape/back of head, ends to the left side of your hair and ends to the right side of your hair.

For hair above your shoulders, use a minimum of 24 pumps, (6 pumps per section). For hair down to your shoulders, use a minimum of 32 pumps, (8 pumps per section). For hair past your shoulders use a minimum of 40 pumps, (10 per section). For hair to your mid-back use a minimum of 48 pumps, (12 per section).

Add a splash of water to help evenly distribute through the ends and massage vigorously into scalp for 2-3 minutes. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb and clip hair up for the remainder of the shower. Leave on for at least 3-5 minutes.

The longer you leave WEN Lavender Cleansing Conditioner on the better for maximum results. Rinse with cool water thoroughly for 1-2 minutes by massaging your scalp and running your fingers through to the ends. While hair is soaking wet, apply 1-3 pumps of the Cleansing Conditioner as a leave-in conditioner starting from the back of the head through to the ends.

For thicker/coarser hair increase amount of pumps in order to thoroughly hydrate and cleanse the scalp and ends. If you choose to rinse and repeat, use half the amount of suggested pumps for each cleansing.
