Infomercials suck me in. I can’t help it; I’m just like my dad. There is one that I’ve watched recently and thought this could really work for Sabreena. WEN is a cleaning lotion for your hair created by celebrity stylist Chaz Dean. It seems like all celebrities have something to peddle and people jump on the bandwagon to get glamorous results. I feel slightly different about WEN.
WEN® Cleansing Conditioner is a revolutionary new concept in hair care. A 5-in-1 formula, this one product takes the place of your shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, detangler and leave-in conditioner. It cleanses hair thoroughly but without lathering and all the harsh ingredients that may be found in ordinary shampoos—it is designed so it won’t strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils. Your hair is left with sheen, moisture, manageability and better color retention.
Many years ago when the makeover shows were in their infancy I remember watching this stylist talk about the harsh chemicals and detergents in commercial shampoos that can damage and strip color from your hair. He then went on to cleanse and style a woman’s hair using his very own products. It was Chaz Dean. There was something about what he said that stuck with me all this time. I use a natural ingredient cleansing bar and tried to get Sabreena to use one too but our hair is very very different. Mine is short and razored to feel thinner, no extra conditioning needs; hers is long and as thick as a horse’s tail. All of these natural alternatives weren’t giving her the soft, tangle-free, shiny results I wanted.
I was contacted by Gunthy Renker to try out WEN and I flipped. Here was the product that changed my way of shampooing years ago. I knew this was what Sabreena needed. The products came and that very night she used them. The next morning I looked at her messy bedhead and noticed it wasn’t as big and knotty looking. In fact it looking like she had curled her hair then fell asleep on the curls. Sabreena isn’t a good candidate for before and after pics because she doesn’t blow dry her hair at night and she’s gone before I even get out of my bedroom each morning. I have noticed her say recently “I like the way my hair looks today”. She’s getting more defined waves and curls and less frizz. Out of Sabreena’s own mouth, “I really like the Replenishing Treatment mist; no more frizz or flyaways, it works fabulously.
flat, frizzy and CURLED hair before using WEN
way less flyaways and softer natural waves and curls after 3 weeks using WEN
It’s been less than a month we’ve been using WEN Cleansing Conditioner and it’s almost gone. The instructions say to start with 10ish pumps, Sabreena uses about 15, that’s a lot of product. It isn’t the most cost effective product since it’s only lasting about 3 weeks but for less than $30 I see it as a decent investment. Sabreena spends a lot of time on her hair and if the only thing she uses is a cleanser and skips the styling products then it’s worth it for me.

have ever used. It’s 1 inch super smooth titanium plates glide so easily over hair thus leaving no indents and no scorched hair. The Ozon®Naughty Girl’s 1-inch micro-porous, scratch resistant, floating titanium plates lock in moisture and seals the cuticle giving hair a nice glossy shine. With a variable temperature control you can adjust heat from 180°F to 450°F depending on your hair’s type. Sabreena needs the high heat to get through the thickness and I need a much lower temperature since I don’t have much to straighten. The time in which the Naughty Girl heats up is amazing. I sit down at my vanity, turn on the flat iron, apply deodorant and face moisturizer and it’s HOT. A few quick swipes through my hair and I’m good to go. What is there to say about the look of the Naughty Girl, it’s a funky red leopard print just to add a little fun to your primping.
