If you were to ask me what are some of the least favorite things about myself are one of them would be my hair. My dad had always had problems with thinning hair as long as I could remember and I when I was younger I was always afraid that I would start losing hair at a young age too. My mom has thick hair and I would always wish I inherited hers instead but I was born with fine hairs and an oily scalp.
I am always on the look out for new hair care products that either promises volume or conditioning properties. I first got a chance to discover and learn more about Wen products when I attended the Beautylish LA Event. Chaz Dean the founder of Wen was there himself!

Wen Pomegranate Cleansing Conditioner
This was included in the gift bag that I got from the Beautylish Event!
WEN® Pomegranate Cleansing Conditioner is a universal cleanser designed to give all hair types the moisture and hydration they need to stay healthy, shiny and manageable. It is an incredibly rich, yet lightweight formula that thoroughly cleanses and also gives body, volume and a smooth, polished finish.
Recommended Usage: 24-40 pumps depending on the length of your hair. You are suppose to separate your hair into sections and cleanse your scalp thoroughly before distributing the rest of the product to the rest of your hair. The average time you should leave the product on is 3-5 minutes but the longer you leave it on the softer your hair will be.
Results: I have actually been using this product for about 3 weeks straight and I'm actually already out of it! :( There is a nice sweet scent of Pomegranate. The first few days I used this I was so amazed by how soft and manageable my hair was. I color my hair so my ends are always dry and it is always so hard to comb and untangle every time I wash my hair. There is also a nice minty and cooling feeling when you massage the product on your scalp. Since I have oily scalp and occasional dandruff/dry scalp problems, on the 5th day of using this product I did notice my scalp to become a bit oily and itchy. I have read reviews that this could be because I am not using enough products to cleanse my scalp fully. Since I have long hair the recommended pumps is 40 and I have been using around 35-40 pumps. My scalp however, still tends to feel oily after extended usage so what I do to solve this is that I would use the Wen Cleansing Conditioner for 3-4 days then 1 day I would use my regular shampoo and then go back to Wen again. I found that to work best for me and my scalp doesn't get oily and itchy! But if you don't have that problem like me the Cleansing Conditioner is definitely great for everyday use. I think my hair was just having chemical withdrawals? lol since Wen might be the most natural product I have used on my hair.
Repurchase: Yes! I love this stuff and the way it makes my hair feel. I also notice less hair loss, probably because I'm not always trying to yank out all my tangles.
Sweet Almond Mint Bath, Body, and Hair Oil
Pamper yourself from head to toe in the light, delicately sweet yet richly hydrating Sweet Almond Mint oil. Lavish your hair and skin with moisture to leave it with a healthy glow as the fragrance and sensation soothe, relax and stimulate your senses.
Recommended Usage: 1-2 drops for bath. 1-2 drops to body after shower or added to any body lotion for extra moisture. 3-5 drops to hair for an overnight treatment.
Results: I have mostly been using this whenever I take a bath. I love the smell and just 1-2 drops creates such a nice aroma to my bath water. The oils also help moisturize my skin while I am taking a bath so when I get out my skin actually already feels moisturized and not all dry like it usually does. I have also tried this as an after bath oil but I personally prefer this in the bath because it just makes bath time so much more exciting! I haven't tried this as hair treatment since I feel that the hydrating mask already does an amazing job that I rather save the oil to use for bath time.
Repurchase: Yes! I have actually never been much into bath oils but now I can see what a huge difference it could make. You only need so little at a time so 1 bottle will last me for awhile. I definitely would like to get more in other scents.
Sweet Almond Mint Re-Moist Hydrating Mask
This signature treatment is designed to rejuvenate and rehydrate dry,damaged, lifeless, color-treated hair. It improves lackluster hair,giving it the ultimate moisturizing treatment, using the perfect blend of natural and botanical extracts to restore hair to a much healthier state. WEN® Re-Moist Hydrating Mask is a universal treatment to maintain healthy hair and scalp, providing moisture, shine, and nutrients to give you an at-home spa treatment that will leave your hair feeling soft, silky, lustrous, and replenished.
Recommended Usage: Apply to clean wet hair and leave on for 30-45 minutes. The longer you leave on the better the results. You can also use it as an overnight treatment and wrap your hair with a towel.
Results: I love this stuff! It is by far the best hair conditioning treatment I have ever used. The texture is like a creamy thick paste and I usually use a comb to evenly distribute the product and then pile on a little bit extra to my dry ends. The Sweet Almond Mint has such a unique but pleasant scent. It just smells really sweet! I use this about once a week and I leave it on for about 1 hr or more since I have super damaged and dry hair. After using this my hair always feels so soft and the results actually last me for about 2-3 days.
Repurchase: Yes (if I could afford it lol) This product is a little pricey ($72.00) but a little goes a long way so a tub of this will last you awhile. Definitely a splurge type product but worth every penny.
I definitely can say I am hooked on Wen products and am curious to try out more stuff from them! I have been on a natural binge lately and been wanting to try out more products that contain natural ingredients especially for face, hair, and body!
FTC: Pomegranate Conditioner was given in a gift bag from the Beautylish Event. Sweet Almond Mint Mask and Oil were sent for review purposes from a PR company. I am not affiliated or got paid to do this post. All reviews and opinions are based on my honest opinion.
