Question 1: Will "wen" deliver??

We'll delve into deeper topics (ie. how to achieve World Peace) when I'm a more seasoned blogger, for now, we'll talk about my newest infomercial purchase...wen.

You've probably seen this advertised on TV...with the girl from the show Little House on the Prairie swinging her beautiful, long, shiney (and now red) hair around as she raves about the product.

Product Promise:

• "...herbs and natural ingredients designed to not only cleanse your hair and scalp, but to moisturize, nourish, strengthen, and add sheen."

Doesn't use harsh chemicals:

• sodium lauryl sulfate--"helps create a lather...may worsen skin problems in individuals with chronic skin sensitivity." --www.wikipedia.com
• mineral oil
• ammonium lauryl sulfate--foaming agent
• propylene glycol

Current Hair Diagnosis:
"Tangled mess" (dry hair, hair gets snarly and a tangled mess directly after brushing, get a greecy scalp on 2nd day after normal shampooing, itchy scalp sometimes--it's like I can feel build-up on my scalp)

Cost: $30+SH, Includes: 30-day supply of wen cleansing conditioner, re moist intensive hair repair, texture balm, and wide tooth comb

Concerns:
I have long, thick hair so it says it may take 36 pumps of wen for 1 hair cleansing (how long will this bottle last???)

Trial 1:

• The smell of Wen is A----mazing! I need about 24 pumps of the cleanser/conditioner, but this looks like it would equal what I'd normally use with reg. shampoo & conditioner…I don't miss the lather and bubbles of regular shampoo. Wen really does feel rich throughout my hair. I am surprised to say that I can comb through my wet hair as instructed.
• My hair feels great. It feels and looks smooth, I can run a brush through it without wanting to throw a kicking/screaming fit on the floor. :)

Here are the before and after shots after only one use of wen

Day 1 9/26/09:
Pre-photo (taken 1 day after regular shampoo/conditioning, hair is air-dried): I obviously need help(and some make-up)--dry, limp hair, oily scalp, and good luck trying to run a brush through this hair without the risk of me getting more than a little perturbed.
Post-photo (taken after 1 use of wen): I don't look like Laura Ingalls yet, but I already notice an improvent. :D
