Ok so it's been around for a while but I've just now decided to try it. Wen is an all-in-one 'cleansing conditioner,' meaning it's the only thing you need to use on your hair in the shower (and in some cases, out of the shower too).
Below are the instructions sent to me by my lovely sister with a few suggestions/tweaks to the protocol that I have found work for me.
Briana has been using Wen for about 6 months now and absolutely loves it. My mom has been using Wen for about two or three months and also really likes it. I'm on my third week, and so far so good! It takes about 6 weeks for your scalp and hair to fully adjust to Wen. Both Briana and I have found that our hair has darkened. Although this is not a problem for either of us because we do not color our hair, it is something to keep in mind if you dye your hair.
Instructions for Using Wen
1. Get thyself into the shower and rinse your hair well. Get all that goopy junk out of it that accumulated throughout the day.
2. Take 2-3 pumps of Wen and massage it into your scalp and through the ends of your hair. I suggest running a fine-tooth comb through your hair after getting the Wen in there so you make sure it's evenly distributed and allowing its magical-ness to touch every strand of your delicate hair.
3. Either put it in a ponytail or clip it up and leave it for the rest of your shower OR rinse, repeat Wen application, and then put into a clip to be rinsed again at the end of your shower.
4. When you're just about done with your shower, rinse your hair thoroughly. If you have applied Wen only once, you can also repeat the application and rinse at this point for a shorter second application.
5. Squeeze out the water from your hair and apply a pea-sized amount of Wen just on the ends of your hair. This is your leave in conditioner.
6. Style your hair as per usual, but the fewer heated products you use on it the better.
Helpful things to know:
-The longer it stays in your hair the better. (You can use it as a deep conditioner--instead of rinsing it at the end of your shower, keep it clipped up or in a ponytail, and get out of the shower and let it hang out for 15 minutes before you rinse it out.)
-Rinse, rinse, rinse, and when you think you've rinsed enough, rinse some more.
-If you're greasy, you're doing one of two things wrong 1. You're not rinsing enough (See above point.) or, more than likely, 2. You're not using enough Wen!
Rules to live by:
-Wen is the first thing on in the shower and the last thing rinsed out.
-Once you've started using Wen, don't use regular shampoo. It will erase all the good things the Wen has done for your hair by stripping all the natural oils out of it.
-There is no such thing as too much Wen.
