I don't use shampoo at all so I'd guess it's no poo for me? I use Wen though, some people use home made stuff, and my hair doesn't get oily either, mine is wavy, fine and normal, and it lasts a week without me washing, some people might frown upon this, but my hair is just fine being washed once a week even when I use a Cleansing Conditioner instead of Shampoo

Every time you mention the Wen product, I get more interested! It sounds like it works so well! The only issue I have with my hair is that it can get oily after only a day. It'd be great if the Wen Cleansing Conditioner would take that down a notch!Originally Posted by beautymadn3ss /img/forum/go_quote.gif

It doesn't work for everyone, it worked for me, and I love it, but I'd say you should try a sample before you go out and buy it, you know? cuz with this you would be out some money, my bf's family gave me a huge Wen kit for xmas and before I bought like 2 16oz bottles myself...and since I do only wash my hair once a week, it doesn't end up being too expensive for me, but it might be for other people that need to wash their hair more often.

& you may be able to get your box that month if you see that everyone else is getting good boxes this month. That's what I did this month.
Interesting! I've been using Wen for about a year with excellent results, but would be up for trying something a bit less costly. Do you feel like the Herbal Essence conditioner is providing the same results as Wen? Anyone else recommend a particular conditioner to replace Wen?
I use Suave Naturals. The Wen didn't do anything special for my hair that co-washing hasn't done, but that's just me. What I understand is that most conditioners have mild surfacants in it to make it rinse clean, leaving them on your hair and rubbing it in, like with Wen, is what cleanses it. It takes a bit of trial and error--a lot of people like to use VO5, but it didn't work for me at all. The most important thing is to make sure that there are no non-soluble silicones in it. I read the ingredients, and anything with the suffice 'one I Google to see if is soluble or not.
I never tried Wen, but read up on the condition washing habits before trying it out. For drugstore alternatives, I kept seeing Suave and Herbal Essences being recommended. I haven't tried Suave, but have really liked the Herbal Essences...I currently use the blue one, Hello Hydration, I think and it's been great. This is going on two months or so that I've been doing this and I feel like there's been an improvement in my overall hair "health" and appearence.
I don't know about that, but it was a nice surprise, lol. Seriously though, it is a good box, considering that October was officially "crappy box month!"
I have Wen but I find myself using Dove Nourishing Oil Care shampoo and daily treatment conditioner. I have dry damaged hair and besides SHU UEMURA Art of Hair Moisture Velvet Nourishing Treatment is it the best I've ever used. I refuse to spend $70 when I can find something almost as good for $4.
I just finished my WEN from my last Test Tube, I think it's called Winter Vanilla Mint. I have mixed feelings about it. Loved the smell, the vanilla wasn't overpowering but the mint... loved the mint especially on mornings I felt a little sluggish. The mint also made my scalp "tingle" (in a good way) which I also liked however I saw no difference in my hair condition after using it. I've also been using Miss Jessie's products and Rusk's Keratin Care. IF I were to re-buy this particular WEN I'd buy it purely for the smell. WEN is just too expensive and there are other products on the market that are less - like Miss Jessie's Creme de la Curl and Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo (although I do admit this one still reminds me of slime kids play with, lol).
