You really don't need to do the recommended pumps it calls for. I shampoo my hair using one small palm full to cleanse my shoulder length hair. That's all I need. Work it through, leave on for a minute or two and rinse. I don't shampoo my hair everyday, maybe 2-3x a week. When I shower, I rinse it WELL in between shampoos to remove other product; volumizer, styling mouse, hair spray. That cuts down on the cost dramatically and my hair is never greasy or too dry later. When I go to my hairdresser for a style or trim, she's always amazed and remarks on the health of my hair; that whatever I'm doing/using to keep on doing it!

I love WEN fig. It is gentle on my hair and I frequently have an itchy, sensitive scalp and this is almost therapeutic. If I'm in a hurry, I will use something else gentle because for the full benefit I do think you need to leave it on a few minutes to sink in. I don't use as much as the bottle says, don't feel I need to. Was excited to try Biolage's new cowash, but can't find one of the four that smells good at all, so back to WEN.

I've been using Wen's fig cleanser for 4 months now. At first I was skeptical because it looked like conditioner and did not lather. My hair felt heavy and still looked awful. I cut back on how much I used to half of what they say to use and I am loving it. My hair hasn't been this healthy since i was a kid. I have thick wavy hair and i have tried almost every shampoo and conditioner out there but they always seemed to dry my hair out. Now due to Wen, my hair looks shiny, healthy and soft.. I sometimes let my hair dry naturally and sometimes I use the blow dryer with a diffuser. Either way it looks great. The price seems high at first but one bottle has lasted me for 5 months so if you split the cost up to see how much it costs per month it is cheaper than all the other products I used to use. Now I do not use anything but Wen and a little hairspray. My hair is just below my shoulders and it seems to be growing quicker too. Effectiveness This product has made my hair look great and I actually love it now. it is in much better condition and I am getting compliments on my hair all the time. It is a little weird not lathering but it is really nice and feels like a deep conditioning treatment each time I use it. I have not used regular conditioner in over a year since I started trying all the different smells of Wen. Scent The different smells could be a little better. This one is kinds christmas smelling to me. I actually like the summery smells better with coconut. Wish they would come out with some new smells soon.

I love the fig wen so much! This cleans like no tomorrow, it doesnt strip the hair of moisture. It leaves the haie soft and silky and quite manageable. I have been using cleansing conditioners for years and will never go back to shampoos again. Ive tried a few others and none have really compaired to wen in the cleaning and hydrating department.I love the wen even more because these products arent tested on animals. I gave it a 9 instead of a twn only for cost.And the scent "Fig" is quite heavenly!

I have fine, thin hair and I thought this conditioner would be great for adding moisture to my hair. This product is a bit pricey so I was reluctant to purchase it, but eventually gave in to the infomercial and bought it. I could tell from the first time I used it that it was not for me. I felt like I could not rinse all of this out of my hair and my hair felt oily while I was in the shower. I also felt like my hair was not as clean as normal and since this product did not lather at all, I felt like my hair was still dirty. The scent was horrible, it smelled like menthol. It was horrible, and I could smell it on my hair throughout the day. My hair looked heavy and lifeless from this product and I quickly called and returned the package. It was not for me. Effectiveness This product does not work well at all for cleaning your hair. My hair felt dirty and lifeless. I could not seem to wash all of the product out, my hair felt oily and greasy. Scent The worst smelling conditioner I have ever used.

I purchased an entire WEN kit online because I haven't saw it available in stores. It may be available at some specialty stores but I decided to go ahead and order from their website. I tried the Lavender, the Almond Mint, and this Fig cleansing conditioner. The fig is by far the best smelling. I love the idea behind these products. This conditioner uses all natural ingredients. It doesn't have any artificial ingredients, dyes, or chemicals in it. I was kind of skeptical when I ordered these. I thought that the natural ingredients would dry my hair out or wouldn't provide enough conditioning. I was very pleased and happy that I splurged on these products. The fig scent smells amazing. It smells just like a fruit. It reminds me of pomegranate. I put it on my hair and it was a bit thinner than I'm used to but it absorbed into my hair quickly. I let it soak in for a few minutes and rinsed my hair. I was pleased with this conditioner. It's all natural and I got great conditioning. My hair was left moisturized, soft, and detangled. I didn't think natural products could give me all that my regular conditioner did but I was happy to see that natural products can be effective. Effectiveness My hair was soft, silk, and smooth. I was detangled and I had a lot less breakage after a couple weeks using this. Scent It smells amazing like fruit. It smells like pomegranate or strawberries.

Overall this was better than most products I have been using . I have shoulder length fine but thick curly hair. I have thyroid problems so my hair has been an issue lately. Since starting Wen I have had no more breakage and it actually feels alot better. The first time I used it , I thought ok,, this is pretty good. BUT , the more I used it the better my hair actualy got . I used to work in a hair salon as an esthetician, so I was always a guinea pig with the hairdressers lol. I have had exposure to many many brands of shampoo and conditioners and some I do like but for right now and for me .. Wen is working great , This particular formulation might not be the one for you so do not be afraid to talk to a specialist on the phone and ask which one might be the best for your hair. Also give it time to work as with any product . You can always exchange for another formula. I know it is expensive but when you add up the cost of all your styling piroducts .. it works out to about the same . Effectiveness it is smoother and manageable Scent It is an ok scent.. it is not one of my favorites that Wen has

This shampoo does a good job cleaning, but I do not see that it does amazingly better than the cheap off-brands in the stores. Wen says their product is so much better for your hair, but I honestly did not see much if any different in all when I used this as opposed to when I used my usual (much cheaper) shampoo. If you don't mind how much you spend on shampoo, then this is a good product. I only gave it less than 7-8 points because of the price they charge for it. Effectiveness Cleans hair well and does a good job rinsing out. I did like how my hair felt afterwards, but again it wasn't much different than using my usual shampoo at a much lower price. Perhaps if you color or use harsher treatments in your hair it might make a difference, but my hair is never colored and rarely blow-dryed so perhaps that makes a difference. Scent I liked the scent of this and all the Wen shampoos. The fig is a nice, earthy scent that isn't too overpowering. You can still smell it on your hair after washing and drying, but it is not an overwhelming smell.

This stuff works wonders! I have very dry, damaged, thin, long, curly hair and this stuff is awesome! I was skeptical at first, but this stuff did wonders for my hair! After one use my hair was shiny and healthy looking without the use of other hair care products. It smell of the conditioner is light, but stays in your hair all day! After a couple of days, my hair looked as if I never colored or damaged it with the straightener. I don't have to put extra hair products in so that my hair isn't frizzy or lifeless. The only downside is that the longer your hair is the more you need and this bottle don't last long, and with it being costly it's kind of makes you want to reconsider buying it. However, I use mine at least twice a week and it makes it last much longer while still making my hair remain beautiful even if I don't use it every time. Effectiveness It conditions and cleans. This stuff is a hair miracle! You can feel it cleaning your hair, because it has a relaxing cooling sensation that is not painful or overwhelming. The longer you leave it in the better it does! I get complements on my hair just about every time I use it! Scent It is a very light sent, but lasts all day. It's not my most favorite scent, but it doesn't smell bad either.

I was a little bit surprised when I discovered that this is a non-sudsing cleansing conditioner...since I'm used to the lather of regular hair products, I wound up using way too much the first time I used it. I rinsed it out, thinking I would be disappointed and have to re-wash my hair (since my hair is normally weighed down and greasy looking if I use a conditioner that doesn't agree with my hair.), but I was pleasantly surprised. My hair dried very quickly into silky, smooth, frizz-free, shampoo-commercial worthy hair! It was shiny and soft, and I can't believe how the colors in my hair revealed themselves. I can only imagine all of the leftover shampoo/conditioner/etc. gunk that it stripped out of my hair to reveal the beautiful hair underneath that I didn't even know I had! I don't straighten my hair anymore, because the frizz is gone and I can enjoy my natural curls. My hair looks beautifully replenished and healthy. I thought I had great hair before using Wen, but I had no idea. It may be expensive, but you use much less than you would use of a normal shampoo/conditioner combination, and the bottle lasts for me, a couple of months with regular washing. And either way, the feeling I get when my hair looks this way is well worth every penny spent.
