Are these any good? I've searched but didn't see a thread here.
The reviews are mixed on the web.
I need to do something, my hair is terrible. (Dry, falling out, frizzy, damaged ... )
Thank you!

I love them and they work really well for me, though as you say the reviews on the web are very mixed. Just be aware that you really do have to make sure your hair is rinsed thoroughly after using Wen to get the best results!

I think it's one of those products you either love or hate. There's no grey area. I've been using it for several years and love it. I'll never go back to anything else. The most important thing is to use it the way you're supposed to, you can't try and "skimp".
My co-worker wanted to try it so she ordered it. I went over the directions with her thoroughly and even gave her one of my instructional DVD's so she'd know how to use it. She finally told me one day she tried it and hated it. I asked her how many pumps she used. She used three. Umm, yeah not going to work. I use 12 and my hair was shorter than hers.
Just make sure you rinse well. That is key. My hair has never been healthier and while it is expensive I only have to wash my hair now every few days.
I get it off QVC. They have the best deals and easiest returns.

I used it for a while and loved how it preserved my hair color, but no matter how much I rinsed my hair always felt dirty and had no body at all. I gave up and went back to Pureology and Biolage (I switch off between the two.) I do know people who use and love Wen and get good results with it.

I like Wen, but I have to alternate between it and a regular shampoo and conditioner. I only wash my hair 2-3 times per week, but if I use Wen back-to-back my hair is heavy and greasy. Once a week with the Wen works great!

I started using Wen and liked it but stopped because it changed my hair color. Maybe it's not intended for colored har, not sure.

Actually Wen was made specifically for color treated hair to bring it out more and take away brassiness. That's one of the reasons I love it. I color at home and my color lasts for months. Sorry you didn't have the desired results. |

Sorry you didn't have the desired results. Hmmm, now I wonder what went wrong then. I go to my salon to color my hair and it's usually a dark color. Using WEN it lightned it up that people were asking me why I had gone red this time. |

One of the things I also learned a while back along with using good hair products is to if you have color treated hair do not use hot water on it. When washing and rinsing use water as cool as you can. You don't have to take a cold shower, but not scalding either. |

I dunno...now that my hair is going gray under my blonde, conditioners have pulled color out of my hair. I have not tried the wen brand but no poo conditioner washing pulled more color out of my hair than a good no sulfate shampoo. Maybe because the hair more pourus? Or Because I let it sit for awhile? I have also had a Redkin super duper conditioner do the same thing with a deep treatment. Maybe a hair stylist pea in the know can explain?
